If a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or to transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such Definitive Note for beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note (provided that no IAI may hold an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note). Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (A) a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee; (B) a duly completed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 attached hereto; (C) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member to instruct DTC to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Notes in an amount equal to the Definitive Notes to be transferred or exchanged; and (D) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant’s account of DTC to be credited with such increase, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and approve the instructions at DTC, concurrently with such cancellation, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note transferred or exchanged.

(vi)           Other Exchanges. In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, such Notes may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers are to a QIB who is also a Qualified Purchaser or are to a non-U.S. Person, or otherwise comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer and the Note Administrator.

(f)            Removal of Legend. If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2, D, E and F hereto, and if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the Notes so issued shall bear such applicable legend, or such applicable legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in the State of New York (and addressed to the Issuer and the Note Administrator), as may be reasonably required by the Issuer to the effect that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S, as applicable, the Investment Company Act or ERISA. So long as the Issuer is relying on an exemption under or promulgated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, the Issuer shall not remove that portion of the legend required to maintain an exemption under or promulgated pursuant to the Investment Company Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, as confirmed in writing by the Issuer to the Note Administrator, the Note Administrator, at the direction of the Issuer, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend.

(g)           Each beneficial owner of Regulation S Global Notes shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit G-1 hereto.

(h)           Each beneficial owner of Rule 144A Global Notes shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit G-2 hereto.

(i)            Each Holder of Definitive Notes shall make the representations and agreements set forth in the certificate attached as Exhibit G-3 hereto.

(j)            Each Noteholder is hereby deemed to have represented and agreed that (a) it is not and will not be, and is not acting on behalf of or using any assets of any person that is or will become, an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, any other employee benefit plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” by reason of such an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in the entity or otherwise (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”) or (b) in the case of the transferred Notes that are Investment Grade Notes, its purchase, holding and disposition of the transferred Notes do not and will not constitute or otherwise give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, a non-exempt violation of Similar Law; provided that with respect to the Class D Notes, each Noteholder understands and agrees that no employee benefit plan or plan subject to ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, or plan subject to Similar law, or any entity considered to hold the assets of any such employee benefit plan or plan may acquire and/or hold any Class D Notes unless the Issuer has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Class D Notes will be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(k)           Each Plan or other plan subject to Similar Law that purchases or acquires any Note or interest therein, will be deemed to represent, acknowledge and agree that none of the Issuer, Trustee, Note Administrator, Advancing Agent, Custodian, Collateral Manager, Servicer or Special Servicer, or any persons providing marketing services on their behalf, or any of their respective affiliates has provided any investment advice, or is otherwise acting in any fiduciary capacity (whether under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or otherwise), in connection with the plan’s acquisition of any such Note.

(l)            Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with Section 2.5(e) shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder.

(m)          Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, neither the Note Administrator nor the Notes Registrar (nor any other Transfer Agent) shall be responsible or liable for compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), the Investment Company Act, ERISA or the Code (or any applicable regulations thereunder); provided, however, that if a specified transfer certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar prior to registration of transfer of a Note, the Note Administrator and/or Notes Registrar, as applicable, is required to request, as a condition for registering the transfer of the Note, such certificate or Opinion of Counsel and to examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof (and the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if it determines that such certificate or Opinion of Counsel does not so conform).

-66-

(n)           If the Note Administrator has actual knowledge or is notified by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager that (i) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Note was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a transferee failed to deliver to the Note Administrator any certification required to be delivered hereunder or (iii) the holder of any interest in a Note is in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certification or any deemed representation or agreement of such holder, the Note Administrator shall not register such attempted or purported transfer and if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding holder of such interest in such Note that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such Holder.

In addition, the Note Administrator may require that the interest in the Note referred to in (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding paragraph be transferred to any Person designated by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager at a price determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, based upon its estimation of the prevailing price of such interest and each Holder, by acceptance of an interest in a Note, authorizes the Note Administrator to take such action. In any case, none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Note Administrator shall not be held responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of any required transfer under this Section 2.5(l).

(o)           Each Holder of Notes approves and consents to (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Assets by the Issuer from the Seller on the Closing Date and (ii) any other transaction between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates that are permitted under the terms of this Indenture or the Mortgage Asset Purchase Agreement.

(p)           As long as any Note is Outstanding, any retained or repurchased Notes or Membership Interests held by LCMT, LMF Holder or any other disregarded entity of LCMT or a subsequent REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be transferred (whether by means of an actual transfer or a transfer of beneficial ownership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), pledged or hypothecated to any Person (except to an affiliate that is wholly-owned by LCMT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes), unless (i)(A) 100% of the retained or repurchased Notes or the Membership Interests are transferred, pledged or hypothecated to a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of LCMT or (B) 100% of the retained or repurchased Notes or the Membership Interests are transferred, pledged or hypothecated to another REIT or a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or another disregarded entity of another REIT or (ii) with respect to such transfer, pledge or hypothecation, the Issuer receives an opinion from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, Mayer Brown LLP or another nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that upon such transfer, pledge or hypothecation the Issuer will continue to be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT or will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation, a “taxable mortgage pool” or a “publicly traded partnership” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

-67-

(q)           For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Accounts and the Class A Loan Payment Account (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such account) will be owned by LCMT, if the Issuer is wholly-owned by LCMT, or a Subsequent REIT that wholly owns the Issuer, for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer shall provide to the Note Administrator (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the Closing Date, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Note Administrator as may be necessary (x) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (y) to permit the Note Administrator to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Indenture Accounts, the Class A Loan Payment Account or any amounts paid to the Issuer. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, Issuer shall timely provide to the Note Administrator accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. The Note Administrator shall have no liability to Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Indenture Accounts or the Class A Loan Payment Account pursuant to applicable law arising from the Issuer’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Indenture Accounts or the Class A Loan Payment Account absent the Note Administrator having first received (i) the requisite written investment direction from the Issuer with respect to the investment of such funds, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

Section 2.6      Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note. If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the relevant Transfer Agent (each, a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to each Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request (which Issuer Request shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt by the Note Administrator of a Note that has been signed by the Issuer), the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If, after delivery of such new Note, a bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.

-68-

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.7      Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved. (a)  Each Class A Loan and each Class of Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class A Rate or Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date), except as otherwise set forth below. Payment of interest on each Class of Notes will be subordinated to the payment of interest on the Class A Loan and each related Class of Notes senior thereto. Interest will cease to accrue on each Class A Loan and each Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment or the Stated Maturity Date unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless an Event of Default occurs with respect to such payments of principal. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on the Class A Loans; or, if no Class A Loans are Outstanding, the Notes of the Controlling Class, shall accrue at the Class A Rate or Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class until paid as provided herein.

(b)           (i) so long as any of the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes are outstanding, the Class E Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class E Notes and will not be considered “due and payable” until (A) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class E Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (B) a Redemption Date or (C) the Stated Maturity Date and (ii) so long as any of the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes or the Class E Notes are outstanding, the Class F Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class F Notes and will not be considered “due and payable” until (A) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class F Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (B) a Redemption Date or (C) the Stated Maturity Date.

-69-

(c)           The principal of each Class A Loan and each Class of Notes matures at par and is due and payable on the Stated Maturity Date for such Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class A Loan and each Class of Notes may only occur pursuant to the Priority of Payments. The payment of principal on the Class A Loans and any Note is subordinate in the manner described in the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on the Class A Loans and any Class of Notes that are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity Date (or the earlier date of Maturity) of such Class A Loan or Class of Notes or any Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Classes most senior thereto with respect to such Class have been paid in full. Payments of principal on the Class A Loans and the Notes in connection with a Clean-up Call, Tax Redemption, Auction Call Redemption or Optional Redemption will be made in accordance with Section 9.1 and the Priority of Payments.

(d)           As a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Issuer shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Note under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities)), IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim that Income Is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms). In addition, each of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may require certification from a Holder of Notes acceptable to it to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its Collateral and otherwise as may be necessary or reasonably required to ensure compliance with all applicable tax laws. Each Holder (and each beneficial owner) of Notes agree to provide any certification requested pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, the Issuer shall require, as a condition to payment without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax to a Holder of Notes under FATCA, information to comply with FATCA requirements pursuant to clause (xii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit G hereto, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(g) hereto, or pursuant to clause (xiii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit G hereto, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(h) hereto, or pursuant to clause (xi) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit G hereto, made pursuant to Section 2.5(i) hereto, as applicable. Holders of Notes shall be required to provide to the Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee or their agents all information, documentation or certifications acceptable to it to permit the Issuer or the Note Administrator to comply with its tax reporting obligations under applicable law, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations.

-70-

(e)           Payments in respect of interest on and principal on the Class A Loans and the Notes shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Holder or its nominee; provided that the Holder has provided wiring instructions to the Paying Agent on or before the related Record Date or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by a Dollar check drawn on a bank in the United States, or by a Dollar check mailed to the Holder at its address in the Loan Register or Notes Register. The Issuer expects that the Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note held by the Depository or its nominee, shall immediately credit the applicable Agent Members’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective beneficial interests in such Global Note as shown on the records of the Depository or its nominee. The Issuer also expects that payments by Agent Members to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through Agent Members will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of the Agent Members. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at the office of the Paying Agent (or, to a foreign paying agent appointed by the Note Administrator outside of the United States if then required by applicable law, in the case of a Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note) on or prior to such Maturity. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the Holder of any Note with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests held therein. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity Date thereof) the Issuer or, upon Issuer Request, the Note Administrator, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall not more than thirty (30) nor fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Notes Register, a notice which shall state the date on which such payment will be made and the amount of such payment and shall specify the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(f)            Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a) and Section 2.7(e) hereof, Holders of Class A Loans and Notes as of the Record Date in respect of a Payment Date shall be entitled to the interest accrued and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and principal payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date. All such payments that are mailed or wired and returned to the Paying Agent shall be held for payment as herein provided at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2 (or returned to the Trustee).

(g)           Interest on any Class A Loan or Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Class A Loan or Note (or one or more predecessor Notes), as applicable, is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

-71-

(h)           Payments of principal to Holders of the Class A Loans and Notes of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loans or Notes of such Class, as applicable, registered in the name of each such Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Class A Loans and Notes of such Class on such Record Date.

(i)            Interest accrued with respect to the Class A Loans and Notes shall be calculated as set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Indenture, as applicable.

(j)            All reductions in the principal amount of a Class A Loan or a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date, Redemption Date or upon Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Class A Loan or Note and of any Class A Loan or Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Class A Loan or Note.

(k)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer under the Class A Loans, the Secured Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents are from time to time and at any time limited-recourse obligations of the Issuer. The Class A Loans, the Notes and the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents are from time to time and at any time payable solely from the Collateral available at such time and following realization of the Collateral, all obligations of the Issuer, with respect to the Class A Loans, the Secured Notes, and any claims of the Class A Lenders, the Noteholders, the Trustee or any other parties to any Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Class A Loans, the Notes or this Indenture against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder, limited partner or incorporator of the Issuer or any of its respective successors or assigns. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Class A Loans or the Notes or secured by this Indenture (to the extent it relates to the obligation to make payments on the Class A Loans or the Notes) until such Collateral have been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation in respect of the Class A Loans or the Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Class A Loans, the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

(l)            Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal that were carried by such other Note.

(m)          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal of and interest on the Class A Loans or the Notes (but subject to Sections 2.7(f) and (i)), if the Class A Loans or the Notes have become or been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration of Maturity and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled and the provisions of Section 5.5 are not applicable, then payments of principal of and interest on such Class A Loans or Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.

-72-

Section 2.8      Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and any of their respective agents may treat as the owner of a Class A Loan or Note the Person in whose name such Class A Loan or Note is registered on the Loan Register or Notes Register, as applicable, on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest and other amounts on such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and none of the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the Depository, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be considered the owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices.

Section 2.9      Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, upon delivery to the Notes Registrar, be promptly canceled by the Notes Registrar and may not be reissued or resold. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Notes Registrar shall be destroyed or held by the Notes Registrar in accordance with its standard retention policy. Notes of the most senior Class Outstanding that are held by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any of their Affiliates (and not Notes of any other Class) may be submitted to the Notes Registrar for cancellation at any time.

Section 2.10      Global Notes; Definitive Notes; Temporary Notes.

(a)           Definitive Notes. Definitive Notes shall only be issued in the following limited circumstances:

(i)            at the discretion of the Issuer with respect to any Class of Notes,

(ii)           upon Transfer of Global Notes to an IAI in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(e)(ii), Section 2.5(e)(iv) or Section 2.5(e)(vi);

(iii)          if a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange such Definitive Note for one or more Definitive Notes or transfer such Definitive Note to a transferee who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note in accordance with this Section 2.10, such holder may effect such exchange or transfer upon receipt by the Notes Registrar of (A) a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, and (B) duly completed certificates in the form of Exhibit G-3, upon receipt of which the Notes Registrar shall then cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Issuer, the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes bearing the same designation as the Definitive Note endorsed for transfer, registered in the names specified in the assignment described in clause (A) above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note surrendered by the transferor);

-73-

(iv)          in the event that the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for a Global Note or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a “Clearing Agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days of such notice, the Global Notes deposited with the Depository pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof subject to the procedures and conditions set forth in this Section 2.10.

(b)           Any Global Note that is exchanged for a Definitive Note shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Note Administrator’s Corporate Trust Office together with necessary instruction for the registration and delivery of a Definitive Note to the beneficial owners (or such owner’s nominee) holding the ownership interests in such Global Note. Any such transfer shall be made, without charge, and the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of the same Class and authorized denominations. Any Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5(f), bear the applicable legend set forth in Exhibit A-2, B-2, C-2, D, E and F as applicable and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such applicable legend.

Section 2.11       U.S. Tax Treatment of Class A Loans, Notes and the Issuer. (a) The Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the Notes (unless held by LCMT (or another disregarded entity wholly-owned by LCMT or a Subsequent REIT, as applicable)) and the Class A Loans be treated as debt, (ii) 100% of the Membership Interests be beneficially owned by LMF Holder and (iii) the Issuer be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each prospective purchaser and any subsequent transferee of a Note or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat such Note in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer does not intend to treat the Class A Loans or the Notes as “contingent payment debt instruments” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4.

(b)            The Issuer shall account for the Notes and prepare any reports to Noteholders and tax authorities consistent with the intentions expressed in Section 2.11(a) above.

(c)            Each Holder of Notes shall timely furnish to the Issuer or its agents any completed U.S. federal income tax form or certification (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for the United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities)) IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim that Income is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms) that the Issuer or its agents may reasonably request and shall update or replace such forms or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, Noteholders shall timely furnish any information required pursuant to Section 2.7(d).

(d)            The Issuer shall be responsible for all calculations of original issue discount on the Notes, if any.

(e)            Each prospective purchaser, any subsequent transferee, and each Holder of a Note or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to agree (i) to provide accurate information and documentation that may be required for the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent to comply with FATCA and (ii) that the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent may (1) provide such information and documentation and any other information concerning its investment in such Notes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant tax authority and (2) take any other actions necessary for the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent to comply with FATCA.

-75-

(f)             LMF Holder, by acceptance of any retained or repurchased Notes and the Membership Interests, agrees to take no action inconsistent with the treatment set forth in Section 2.11(a) and, for so long as any Note is Outstanding, agrees not to sell, transfer (whether by means of an actual transfer or a transfer of beneficial ownership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), convey, setover, pledge or encumber any retained or repurchased Notes and/or the Membership Interests, except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 2.5(n).

Section 2.12       Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Issuer, the Note Administrator shall, and if the Note Administrator so chooses the Note Administrator may, pursuant to this Indenture, appoint one (1) or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5 hereof, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Note Administrator.

Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Issuer. The Note Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Trustee and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Note Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

The Note Administrator agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent appointed by it from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.7 hereof. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 hereof shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.13       Forced Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions. (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, (i) any transfer of a Note or interest therein to a U.S. Person who is determined not to have been both a QIB (or, if applicable, an IAI) and a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of such Note or interest therein or whose ownership of such Note or interest therein violates the restrictions set forth in Sections 2.5(g), 2.5(h), 2.5(j) or 2.5(k) hereof and (ii) any transfer of a Class D Note or interest therein by a Plan or a plan or entity subject to Similar Law where the Issuer has not previously received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Notes will be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall be null and void and any such proposed transfer of which the Issuer, the Note Administrator or the Trustee shall have written notice (which includes via electronic mail) may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee for all purposes.

-76-

(b)            If the Issuer determines that any Holder of a Note has not satisfied the applicable requirement described in Section 2.13(a) above (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), then the Issuer shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer or a Trust Officer of the Paying Agent (and notice by the Paying Agent to the Issuer, if either of them makes the discovery, provided, however, that with respect to the Paying Agent, only if a Trust Officer of the Paying Agent has actual knowledge), send notice (or cause notice to be sent) to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer its Note or interest therein, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or a third party acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Note Administrator to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(b) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale of exercise of such discretion.

Section 2.14       No Gross Up. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges.

Section 2.15      Credit Risk Retention. The Securitization Sponsor shall timely deliver (or cause to be timely delivered) to the Trustee and the Note Administrator any notices contemplated by Section 10.12(a)(iv)(8) of this Indenture. The Issuer hereby notifies the Holders on behalf of the Sponsor of the information set forth on Schedule D.

Section 2.16       Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a)            If a Benchmark Transition Event occurs with respect to any Benchmark, such Benchmark will be replaced with the applicable Benchmark Replacement, as determined by the Collateral Manager. After a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any Benchmark and the related Benchmark Determination Date shall be replaced for all purposes of this Indenture, the Class A Loans and the Notes by the applicable Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Determination Date determined by the Collateral Manager. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, amounts payable on the Class A Loans and the Notes shall be determined with respect to the then-current Benchmark until the occurrence of the related Benchmark Replacement Date.

-77-

(b)            The Collateral Manager shall provide prompt notice to the Issuer, the Advancing Agent, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Note Administrator), the Class A Lenders, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies of its determination that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, and prior to any Benchmark Replacement Date, the Collateral Manager shall provide prompt notice to the Issuer, the Advancing Agent, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Note Administrator), the Class A Lenders, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies of the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

(c)            In connection with the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, or from time to time thereafter, upon the direction of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer shall cause a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 8.1(b)(iv) to be entered into to implement a Benchmark Replacement and to make such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, if any, as the Collateral Manager determines may be necessary or desirable to administer, implement or adopt the applicable Benchmark Replacement and the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. Any failure to amend this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv) on or prior to the Benchmark Replacement Date shall not affect the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement on such Benchmark Replacement Date, it being understood such matters will be binding upon the parties as described in clause (d) below pending the execution and delivery of any such amendment.

(d)            Any determination, implementation, adoption, decision, proposal or election that may be made by the Collateral Manager with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto, the Class A Lenders and the Noteholders absent manifest error, may be made in the sole discretion of the Collateral Manager (except as otherwise provided herein) and may be relied upon by the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Servicer and the Special Servicer without investigation.

(e)            The Collateral Manager may (at the Collateral Manager’s expense) assign to another entity (other than the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Calculation Agent, the Loan Agent or the Custodian) any or all of the Collateral Manager’s rights to make determinations with respect to the Benchmark Replacement, but only so long as the Collateral Manager has provided advance notice of such assignment to the Issuer, the Advancing Agent, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Note Administrator), the Class A Lenders, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. So long as Massachusetts Life Insurance Company or an Affiliate thereof is the Lead Lender under the Credit Agreement, any assignment by the Collateral Manager of its rights and duties under this Section 2.16 shall be subject to the consent of the Lead Lender. Any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such assignee in discharging its obligations, and any indemnification amounts or liquidated damages payable to such assignee will be payable as Company Administrative Expenses in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Any fees of such assignee will be payable by the Collateral Manager.

-78-

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Collateral Manager may send any notices with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other determination or selection made under this Section 2.16, by email (or other electronic communication).

(g)           The Collateral Manager shall not have any liability for the determination or selection with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other determination or selection made under this Section 2.16 (including, without limitation, whether the conditions for such determination or selection have been satisfied).

Section 2.17       Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Accounting Applicable to LCMT’s Treatment of the Class G Notes.

(a)            Solely for certain U.S. federal income tax accounting applicable to LCMT, the Class G Notes shall be deemed to be subdivided into each of (i) the “Class G-P Subcomponent”, (ii) the “Class G-XS Subcomponent” and the (iii) “Class G-R Subcomponent” (collectively, the “Class G Subcomponents”).

(b)           Deemed Payments to Class G Subcomponents. The Class G-P Subcomponent shall have a subcomponent note balance from time to time equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Portfolio Balance minus the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Classes of Notes (other than the Class G Notes). The Class G-P Subcomponent will not be entitled to payments of Interest Proceeds.

The Class G-XS Subcomponent shall have a reference balance from time to time equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Portfolio Balance minus the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Classes of Notes (other than the Class G Notes) (the “Class G-XS Reference Amount”). The subcomponent note rate on the Class G-XS Subcomponent will equal the product of (a) the difference between (1) the Collateral Net WAC (adjusted for the length of the payment period) and (2) the rate computed by dividing the amount of total interest expense on the Class A Loan and all Classes of Notes (other than the Class G Notes) by the Aggregate Outstanding Portfolio Balance and (b) a fraction with (1) the numerator equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Portfolio Balance and (2) the denominator equal to the Class G-XS Reference Amount. Such dividend rate will be applied to the Class G-XS Reference Amount.

The Class G-R Subcomponent shall be entitled to any amount remaining after all payments to the Class G-P Subcomponent and the Class G-XS Subcomponent have been made in accordance with the priority of payments described herein.

(i)            Interest Proceeds. On each Payment Date, Interest Proceeds shall be deemed paid in the following order of priority:

(1)            to the Class G-XS Subcomponent, to the extent of accrued interest thereon; and

-79-

(2)            to the Class G-R Subcomponent, any remaining Interest Proceeds.

(ii)            Principal Proceeds. On each Payment Date, Principal Proceeds shall be deemed paid in the following order of priority:

(1)            to the Class G-P Subcomponent, pro rata based on the aggregate outstanding subcomponent note balance, in partial redemption thereof, until the subcomponent note balance of the Class G-P Subcomponent has been reduced to zero; and

(2)            to the Class G-R Subcomponent, any remaining Principal Proceeds.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Note Administrator shall make computations, distributions and reports with respect to the Class G Notes without regard to the Class G Subcomponents and the payments described in this Section 2.17. Furthermore, the Note Administrator shall not be responsible for any tax filings or reporting in respect of the Class G Notes.

Section 5.2       Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a)  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (other than the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g)), the Trustee may (and shall at the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class), declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Class A Loans and the Notes to be immediately due and payable (and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period). Upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable thereunder in accordance with the Priority of Payments will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g) above occurs, such an acceleration shall occur automatically and without any further action, and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period. If the Class A Loans and the Notes are accelerated, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) hereof.

(b)           At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, a Majority of the Controlling Class, other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g), or 5.1(i), by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(A)            all unpaid installments of interest on and principal on the Class A Loans and the Notes that would be due and payable hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

(B)             all unpaid taxes of the Issuer, Company Administrative Expenses and other sums paid or advanced by or otherwise due and payable to the Note Administrator, the Loan Agent or to the Trustee hereunder or under the Credit Agreement;

-96-

(C)             with respect to the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee, any amount due and payable for unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest; and

(D)            with respect to the Collateral Management Agreement, any Collateral Manager Fee then due and any Company Administrative Expense due and payable to the Collateral Manager thereunder; and

(ii)            the Trustee has received notice that all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the interest and principal on the Class A Loans or the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Trustee, has agreed with such notice (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or waived as provided in Section 5.14.

At any such time that the Trustee, subject to Section 5.2(b), shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences as permitted hereinabove, the Collateral shall be preserved in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the Event of Default that gave rise to such declaration; provided, however, that if such preservation of the Collateral is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.5, the Class A Loans and the Notes may be accelerated pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.2, notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this paragraph.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c)            Subject to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the Trustee in the conduct of any Proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or in the sale of any or all of the Collateral; provided that (i) such direction will not conflict with any rule of law or this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee may take any other action not inconsistent with such direction; (iii) the Trustee has received security or indemnity satisfactory to it; and (iv) any direction to undertake a sale of the Collateral may be made only as described in Section 5.17. The Trustee shall be entitled to refuse to take any action absent such direction.

(d)            As security for the payment by the Issuer of the compensation and expenses of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Note Administrator, and any sums the Trustee, the Custodian, or Note Administrator shall be entitled to receive as indemnification by the Issuer, the Issuer hereby grants the Trustee a lien on the Collateral, which lien is senior to the lien of the Class A Lenders and the Noteholders. The Trustee’s lien shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and exercisable by the Trustee only if the Class A Loans and the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled.

(e)            A Majority of the Controlling Class may, prior to the time a judgment or decree for the payment of amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, waive any past Default on behalf of the holders of all the Class A Loans and the Notes and its consequences in accordance with Section 5.14.

-97-

Section 5.3       Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. (a)  The Issuer covenants that if a Default shall occur in respect of the payment of any interest on any Class A Loan, the payment of principal on any Class A Loan (but only after interest with respect to the Class A Loans and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the payment of principal on any Class B Note (but only after interest and principal with respect to the Class A Loans and interest with respect to the Class B Notes and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the payment of interest on any Class C Note (but only after interest with respect to the Class A Loans and Class B Notes and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the payment of principal on any Class C Note (but only after interest and principal with respect to the Class A Loans and the Class B Notes and interest with respect to the Class C Notes and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the payment of interest on any Class D Note (but only after interest with respect to the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full) or the payment of principal on any Class D Note (but only after interest and principal with respect to the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes and interest with respect to the Class C Notes and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the payment of interest on any Class E Note (but only after interest with respect to the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the payment of principal on any Class E Note (but only after interest and principal with respect to the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes and interest with respect to the Class D Notes and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full) or the payment of principal on any Class F Note (but only after interest and principal with respect to the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes and interest with respect to the Class E Notes and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee or any affected Class A Lender or Noteholder, pay to the Note Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of such Holder, the whole amount, if any, then due and payable on such Class A Loan or Note for principal and interest or other payment with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable interest rate and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Note Administrator, the Trustee and such Class A Lender or Noteholder and their respective agents and counsel.

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, as Trustee of an express trust, and at the expense of the Issuer, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Class A Loans or the Notes and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral.

-98-

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Class A Lender and the Noteholders by such Proceedings (x) as directed by a Majority of the Controlling Class or (y) in the absence of direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, as determined by the Trustee acting in good faith; provided that (a) such direction must not conflict with any rule of law or with any express provision of this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction, (c) the Trustee has been provided with security or indemnity satisfactory to it, and (d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a sale of Collateral may be given only in accordance with the preceding paragraph, in connection with any sale and liquidation of all or a portion of the Collateral, the preceding sentence, and, in all cases, the applicable provisions of this Indenture. Such Proceedings shall be used for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Any direction to the Trustee to undertake a sale of Collateral shall be forwarded to the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall conduct any such sale in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

In the case where (x) there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, (y) a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property, or (z) there shall be any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer, or the creditors or property of the Issuer, regardless of whether the principal of the Class A Loans or any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration, or otherwise and regardless of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(i)             to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Class A Loans and the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Class A Lenders or Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Class A Loans or Notes or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor;

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, vote for, accept or adopt, on behalf of any Class A Lender or Noteholder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Class A Loans or Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Class A Lender or Noteholder in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under the Class A Loans or any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of the Class A Loans or any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any action or Proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Collateral or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 unless the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met and any sale of Collateral contemplated to be conducted by the Trustee under this Indenture shall be effected by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for or in connection with any such sale.

Section 5.4       Remedies. (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Class A Loans and Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer agrees that the Trustee, or, with respect to any sale of any Mortgage Assets, the Special Servicer, may, after notice to the Note Administrator, the Class A Lenders and the Noteholders, and shall, upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:

(ii)            sell all or a portion of the Collateral or rights of interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof (provided that any such sale shall be conducted by the Special Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement);

(v)            exercise any other rights and remedies that may be available at law or in equity;

provided, however, that no sale or liquidation of the Collateral or institution of Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 may be effected unless either of the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met.

The Issuer shall, at the Issuer’s expense, upon request of the Trustee or the Special Servicer, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts expected to be received with respect to the Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Class A Loans and the Notes and other amounts payable hereunder, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b)            If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(e) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the request of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

(c)            Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, any Class A Lender or Noteholder, the Collateral Manager or the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates may bid for and purchase the Collateral or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of Sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability; and any purchaser at any such Sale may, in paying the purchase money, turn in its Class A Loan or Notes in lieu of Cash equal to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Class A Loans or Notes so turned in by such Holder (taking into account the Class of such Notes). Such Class A Loan or Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall either be returned to the Holders thereof after proper notation has been made thereon to show partial payment or a new note shall be delivered to the Holders reflecting the reduced interest thereon.

Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Note Administrator or of the Officer making a sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their purchase money and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

-101-

Any such Sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall (x) bind the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Class A Lenders and the Noteholders, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold and (y) be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, none of the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or any other Secured Party, any other party to any Transaction Document, the Class A Lenders, the Holders of the Notes and the holders of the equity in the Issuer or third party beneficiary of this Indenture may, prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect and one day after the payment in full of all Class A Loans and Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect and one day period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, moratorium, liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction.

Section 5.5       Preservation of Collateral. (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Class A Loans or any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required under this Indenture) retain the Collateral securing the Class A Loans and the Secured Notes, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Collateral, the Class A Loans and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Articles 10, 12 and 13 and shall not sell or liquidate the Collateral, unless either:

(i)             the Note Administrator, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines (based upon information delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture) that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Collateral (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due and unpaid on the Class A Loans and the Investment Grade Notes, Company Administrative Expenses due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments, the Collateral Manager Fees due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments and amounts due and payable to the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in respect of unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest, for principal and interest (including any accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest), and, upon receipt of information from Persons to whom fees and expenses are payable, all other amounts payable prior to payment of principal on the Class A Loans and the Notes due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) and the holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination; or

-102-

(ii)            a Supermajority of the Class A Loans and each Class of Investment Grade Notes (each voting as a separate Class) directs the sale and liquidation of all or a portion of the Collateral.

In the event of a sale of all or a portion of the Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be required to sell that portion of the Collateral identified by the requisite Class A Lenders or Noteholders and all proceeds of such sale shall be remitted to the Note Administrator for distribution in the order set forth in Section 11.1(a). The Note Administrator shall give written notice of the retention of the Collateral by the Custodian to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above exist.

(b)            Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require a sale of the Collateral if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Collateral securing the Class A Loans and the Secured Notes if prohibited by applicable law.

(c)            In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Manager shall obtain bid prices with respect to each Mortgage Asset from two dealers (Independent of the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates) at the time making a market in such Mortgage Assets that, at that time, engage in the trading, origination or securitization of whole loans or participations similar to the Mortgage Assets (or, if only one such dealer can be engaged, then the Collateral Manager shall obtain a bid price from such dealer or, if no such dealer can be engaged, from a pricing service). The Collateral Manager shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lowest of such bid prices for each such Mortgage Asset and provide the Trustee and the Note Administrator with the results thereof. For the purposes of determining issues relating to the market value of any Mortgage Asset and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof, the Special Servicer may, but need not, retain at the expense of the Issuer and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation or other appropriate advisors (the cost of which shall be payable as a Company Administrative Expense) in connection with a determination as to whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists.

The Note Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Class A Lenders, the Noteholders and the Servicer, and the Note Administrator shall post to the Note Administrator’s Website, a report stating the results of any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) based solely on the Collateral Manager’s determination made pursuant to this Section 5.5(c).

(b)            except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9 hereof, the Holders of at least 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(c)            the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

(d)            no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 30-day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Class A Loans or Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture, the Class A Loans or the Notes to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Class A Loans or Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Class A Loans or Notes of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, the Class A Loans or the Notes, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Class A Loans or Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 hereof and the Priority of Payments.

-104-

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall not be required to take any action until it shall have received the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.9       Unconditional Rights of Class A Lenders and Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (except for Section 2.7(e)), the Holder of a Class A Loan or any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Class A Loan or Note as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 5.8 to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided, however, that the right of such Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment shall not be subject to the 25% threshold requirement set forth in Section 5.8(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when LMF Holder holds 100% of the Class G Notes, LMF Holder may designate all or any portion of the available funds that would otherwise be distributed by the Paying Agent for payment on the Class G Notes, for deposit into the Payment Account as a contribution to the Issuer. Any such amounts paid to the Issuer as a contribution shall be deemed for all purposes as having been paid by the Paying Agent pursuant to the Priority of Payments in this Indenture.

Section 5.10       Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, any Class A Lender or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, to such Class A Lender or to such Noteholder, then (and in every such case) the Issuer, the Trustee, the Class A Lender or the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Class A Lenders and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11       Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Class A Lenders or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12       Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Class A Lender or Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee, to the Class A Lenders or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, by the Class A Lenders or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

-105-

Section 5.13       Control by the Controlling Class. Subject to Sections 5.2(a) and (b), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Class A Loans or any of the Notes are Outstanding, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to cause the institution of, and direct the time, method and place of conducting, any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee and for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of the Class A Loans and the Notes; provided that:

(a)            such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(b)            the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability (unless the Trustee has received indemnity satisfactory to it against such liability as set forth below);

(c)            the Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it; and

(d)            notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Collateral shall be performed by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, and must satisfy the requirements of Section 5.5.

Section 5.14       Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, as provided in this Article 5, a Majority of the Controlling Class may, on behalf of the Holders of the Class A Loans and of all the Notes, waive any past Default in respect of the Class A Loans or Notes and its consequences, except a Default:

(a)            in the payment of principal of any Class A Loan or Note;

(b)            in the payment of interest in respect of the Controlling Class;

(c)            in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that, under Section 8.2, cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Class A Loan and Note; or

(d)            in respect of any right, covenant or provision hereof for the individual protection or benefit of the Trustee or the Note Administrator, without the Trustee’s or the Note Administrator’s express written consent thereto, as applicable.

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Class A Loans and the Notes shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

-106-

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Any such waiver shall be effectuated upon receipt by the Trustee and the Note Administrator of a written waiver by such Majority of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.15       Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of a Class A Loan or any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by (x) the Trustee, (y) any Class A Lender or Noteholder, or group of Class A Lenders or Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class or (z) any Class A Lender or Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on the Class A Loans or any Note or any other amount payable hereunder on or after the Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16       Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including but not limited to filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.17       Sale of Collateral. (a)  The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all amounts secured by the Collateral shall have been paid or if there are insufficient proceeds to pay such amount until the entire Collateral shall have been sold. The Special Servicer may, upon notice to the Class A Lenders and the Noteholders, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale; provided, however, that if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than three (3) Business Days after the date of the determination by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof, such Sale shall not occur unless and until the Special Servicer has again made the determination required by Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Special Servicer shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it, or by the Trustee or the Note Administrator in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.

-107-

(b)            The Class A Loans and/or Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Class A Loans and/or Notes.

(c)            The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, which, in the case of any Mortgage Assets, shall be upon request and delivery of any such instruments by the Special Servicer. In addition, the Special Servicer, with respect to Mortgage Assets, and the Trustee, with respect to any other Collateral, is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s or Special Servicer’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or to see to the application of any amounts.

(d)            In the event of any Sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.5, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) in the same manner as if the Class A Loans and the Notes had been accelerated.

(e)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any sale by the Trustee of any portion of the Collateral shall be executed by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability therefor.

Section 5.18       Action on the Class A Loans and the Notes. The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Class A Loans, on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the application for or obtaining of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee, the Class A Lenders or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the Collateral of the Issuer.

ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE AND NOTE ADMINISTRATOR

Section 6.1       Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a)  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)             each of the Trustee and the Note Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee or the Note Administrator; and any permissive right of the Trustee or the Note Administrator contained herein shall not be construed as a duty; and

-108-

(ii)            in the absence of manifest error, or bad faith on its part, each of the Note Administrator and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as the case may be, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee or the Note Administrator within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof.

(b)            In case an Event of Default actually known to a Trust Officer of Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class (or other Noteholders to the extent provided in Article 5 hereof), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(c)            If, in performing its duties under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Note Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may request written instructions from the Collateral Manager as to courses of action desired by it. If the Trustee and the Note Administrator does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to request and rely on the advice of legal counsel and Independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and be deemed to have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to any liability if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(d)            No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Note Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable:

(i)             for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that it was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; or

(ii)            with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and/or a Majority of the Controlling Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Note Administrator in respect of any Note or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Note Administrator under this Indenture.

-109-

(e)            No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or the Note Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture, except where this Indenture provides otherwise.

(f)             Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable to the Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class, the Trustee (in the case of the Note Administrator), the Note Administrator (in the case of the Trustee) and/or a Noteholder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

(g)            Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall have any obligation to confirm the compliance by the Issuer, LMF Holder or the Sponsor with the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules.

(h)            For all purposes under this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of either the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default is received by the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s and Note Administrator’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Trustee or Note Administrator, as applicable, is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.

(i)             The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, permit the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and their designees, during its normal business hours, to review all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating to the Class A Loans and the Notes and to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, by such Person).

(j)             Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall have (i) any liability or responsibility for the determination or selection of any successor benchmark (including, without limitation, whether the conditions for the designation of such rate have been satisfied) and shall be entitled to rely upon any designation of such a rate by the Collateral Manager and (ii) liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties under this Indenture as a result of the unavailability of Term SOFR. Further, to the extent the Note Administrator in its capacity as Calculation Agent is unable to calculate the Benchmark Replacement based on the methodology chosen by the Collateral Manager, then the Collateral Manager shall provide to the Calculation Agent, on a monthly basis, the rate calculated using the Benchmark Replacement.

-110-

(k)            None of the Trustee, Note Administrator, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select or designate any Benchmark Replacement or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, or (iii) to select or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. None of the Trustee, Note Administrator, Paying Agent, nor Calculation Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Indenture as a result of the unavailability of Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Collateral Manager, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Indenture and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. The Calculation Agent shall, in respect of any Determination Date, have no liability for the application of Term SOFR as determined on the previous Determination Date if so required under the definition of Term SOFR. None of the Trustee, Note Administrator, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent shall be responsible or liable for the actions or omissions of the Collateral Manager, or any failure or delay in the performance of its duties or obligations, nor shall they be under any obligation to oversee or monitor its performance; and each of the Trustee, Note Administrator, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, any determination made, and any instruction, notice, officer certificate, or other instrument or information provided, by the Collateral Manager, without independent verification, investigation or inquiry of any kind by the Trustee, Note Administrator, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent.

(l)             For the avoidance of doubt, the Note Administrator will have no responsibility for the preparation of any tax returns or related reports on behalf of or for the benefit of the Issuer, the Class A Lenders or any Noteholder, or the calculation of any original issue discount on the Notes.

Section 6.2       Notice of Default. Promptly (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days) after the occurrence of any Default actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the 17g-5 Information Provider and to the Note Administrator (who shall post such notice the Note Administrator’s Website) and the Note Administrator shall deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Class A Lenders and all Holders of Notes as their names and addresses appear on the Notes Register, notice of all Defaults hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 6.3       Certain Rights of Trustee and Note Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1:

(k)            to the extent any defined term hereunder, or any calculation required to be made or determined by the Trustee or Note Administrator hereunder, is dependent upon or defined by reference to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States in effect from time to time (“GAAP”), the Trustee and Note Administrator shall be entitled to request and receive (and rely upon) instruction from the Issuer or accountants appointed by the Issuer as to the application of GAAP in such connection, in any instance;

Every successor Trustee or Note Administrator appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, and the parties hereto including the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator shall become effective and such successor Trustee or Note Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be; but, on request of the Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Collateral Manager or the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, such retiring Trustee or Note Administrator shall, upon payment of its fees, indemnities and other amounts then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all property and amounts held by such retiring Trustee or Note Administrator hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.7(d).

The Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee.

-123-

(b)            For the avoidance of doubt, the Note Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with Issuer, at Issuer’s direction and expense, to permit Issuer to fulfill its obligations under FATCA; provided that the Note Administrator shall have no independent obligation to cause or maintain Issuer’s compliance with FATCA and shall have no liability for any withholding on payments to Issuer as a result of Issuer’s failure to achieve or maintain FATCA compliance.

(a)  All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to the Class A Loans and any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Note Administrator or a Paying Agent and, in the case of the Class A Loans, the Loan Agent (in each case, from and to the extent of available funds in the Payment Account and subject to the Priority of Payments) with respect to payments on the Class A Loans and the Notes.

When the Paying Agent is not also the Notes Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Notes Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder together with wiring instructions, contact information, and such other information reasonably required by the paying agent.

Whenever the Paying Agent is not also the Note Administrator, the Issuer and such Paying Agent shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Note Administrator to deposit on such Payment Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account, and subject to the Priority of Payments), such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Note Administrator) the Issuer shall promptly notify the Note Administrator of its action or failure so to act. Any amounts deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Note Administrator) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Note Administrator for application in accordance with Article 11. Any such Paying Agent shall be deemed to agree by assuming such role not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction, against the Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary for the nonpayment to the Paying Agent of any amounts payable thereto until at least one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect and one day) after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

-125- 

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order of the Issuer and at the sole cost and expense (including such Paying Agent’s fee) of the Issuer, with written notice thereof to the Note Administrator; provided, however, that so long as the Class A Loans or any Class of the Notes are rated by a Rating Agency and with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent, either (i) such Paying Agent has a long-term unsecured debt rating of “[REDACTED]” or higher by [REDACTED] and a short-term debt rating of “[REDACTED]” by [REDACTED] or (ii) each of the Rating Agencies confirms that employing such Paying Agent shall not adversely affect the then-current ratings of the Class A Loans or the Notes. In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of “[REDACTED]” or higher by [REDACTED] and a short-term debt rating of at least “[REDACTED]” by [REDACTED], the Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer shall cause the Paying Agent other than the Note Administrator to execute and deliver to the Note Administrator an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Note Administrator (and if the Note Administrator acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:

(i)               allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Class A Loans and Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(ii)               hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Class A Loans and Notes for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(iii)              if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Note Administrator all sums held by it for the payment of Class A Loans and Notes if at any time it ceases to satisfy the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;

(iv)              if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator, immediately give the Note Administrator notice of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Class A Loans or Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made; and

(v)               if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Note Administrator, forthwith pay to the Note Administrator all sums so held by such Paying Agent.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to the Note Administrator all sums held by the Issuer or held by the Paying Agent for payment of the Class A Loans and the Notes, such sums to be held by the Note Administrator in trust for the same Class A Lender and Noteholders as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or the Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Note Administrator, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such amounts.

-126- 

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any amounts deposited with the Note Administrator in trust or deposited with the Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Class A Loans or any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on request; and the Holder of such Class A Loan or Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent with respect to such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer) shall thereupon cease. The Note Administrator or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Class A Loans or Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

Section 7.4      Existence of the Issuer. (a)   So long as any Class A Loan or Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights as a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware; provided that the Issuer shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of formation from Delaware to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Issuer so long as (i) such change is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Class A Loans or Notes, (ii) it delivers written notice of such change to the Note Administrator for delivery to the Holders of the Class A Loans and the Notes and the Rating Agencies and (iii) on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following such delivery of such notice by the Note Administrator to the Class A Lenders and the Noteholders, the Note Administrator shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the Controlling Class objecting to such change. So long as any Class A Loans or Investment Grade Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer will maintain at all times at least one manager who is Independent of the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates.

(b)           So long as any Class A Loan or Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall ensure that all limited liability company formalities regarding its existence are followed (including correcting any known misunderstanding regarding its separate existence). So long as any Class A Loan or Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall not take any action or conduct its affairs in a manner that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or its Collateral and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. So long as any Class A Loan or Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures reasonably necessary in the performance of the Issuer’s obligations hereunder, and the Issuer shall at all times keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, separate books, records, accounts and other information customarily maintained for the performance of the Issuer’s obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, so long as any Class A Loan or Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall not (A) have any subsidiaries (other than a Permitted Subsidiary), (B) guarantee any obligation of any Person, including any Affiliate, or become obligated for the debts of any other Person, (C) join in any transaction with any member that is not permitted under the terms of the Servicing Agreement or this Indenture, (D) pay dividends other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, (E) commingle its funds or Collateral with those of any other Person, or (F) enter into any contract or agreement with any of its Affiliates, except upon terms and conditions that are commercially reasonable and substantially similar to those available in arm’s-length transactions with an unrelated party.

(a)  The Note Administrator, at the expense of the Issuer and pursuant to any Opinion of Counsel received pursuant to Section 7.5(d) shall execute and deliver all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Holders and to:

(i)            Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Collateral;

(vi)          pursuant to Sections 11.1(a)(i)(1) and 11.1(a)(ii)(1), pay or cause to be paid any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Collateral.

The Issuer hereby designates the Note Administrator as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any Financing Statement, continuation statement or other instrument required pursuant to this Section 7.5. The Note Administrator agrees that it will from time to time execute and cause such Financing Statements and continuation statements to be filed (it being understood that the Note Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel described in Section 7.5(d), at the expense of the Issuer, as to the need to file such Financing Statements and continuation statements, the dates by which such filings are required to be made and the jurisdictions in which such filings are required to be made).

(b)           Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall (except in accordance with Section 10.12(a), (b) or (c) and except for payments, deliveries and distributions otherwise expressly permitted under this Indenture) cause or permit the Custodial Account or the Custodian to be located in a different jurisdiction from the jurisdiction in which the Custodian was located on the Closing Date, unless the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

(c)           The Issuer shall (i) pay or cause to be paid taxes, if any, levied on account of the beneficial ownership by the Issuer of any Collateral that secure the Class A Loans and the Notes and timely file all tax returns and information statements as required, (ii) take all actions necessary or advisable to prevent the Issuer from becoming subject to any withholding or other taxes or assessments and to allow the Issuer to comply with FATCA, and (iii) if required to prevent the withholding or imposition of United States income tax, deliver or cause to be delivered a United States IRS Form W-9 (or the applicable IRS Form W-8, if appropriate) or successor applicable form, to each borrower, counterparty or paying agent with respect to (as applicable) an item included in the Collateral at the time such item is purchased or entered into and thereafter prior to the expiration or obsolescence of such form.

Section 7.6      Notice of Any Amendments. The Issuer shall give notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of, and satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect to, any amendments to its Governing Documents.

Section 7.7      Performance of Obligations. (a)  The Issuer shall not take any action, and will use commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any Instrument included in the Collateral, except in the case of enforcement action taken with respect to any Defaulted Mortgage Asset in accordance with the provisions hereof and as otherwise required hereby.

(b)           The Issuer may, with the prior written consent of the Majority of the Class A Loans and the Notes, contract with other Persons, including the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager, for the performance of actions and obligations to be performed by the Issuer hereunder by such Persons and the performance of the actions and other obligations with respect to the Collateral of the nature set forth in this Indenture. Notwithstanding any such arrangement, the Issuer shall remain primarily liable with respect thereto. In the event of such contract, the performance of such actions and obligations by such Persons shall be deemed to be performance of such actions and obligations by the Issuer; and the Issuer shall punctually perform, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person to perform, all of their obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture or such other agreement.

At any time when the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note, the Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished “Rule 144A Information” (as defined below) to such Holder or beneficial owner, to a prospective purchaser of such Note designated by such Holder or beneficial owner or to the Note Administrator for delivery to such Holder or beneficial owner or a prospective purchaser designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Note by such Holder or beneficial owner. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). The Note Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with the Issuer in mailing or otherwise distributing (at the Issuer’s expense) to such Noteholders or prospective purchasers, at and pursuant to the Issuer’s written direction the foregoing materials prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer; provided, however, that the Note Administrator shall be entitled to prepare and affix thereto or enclose therewith reasonable disclaimers to the effect that such Rule 144A Information was not assembled by the Note Administrator, that the Note Administrator has not reviewed or verified the accuracy thereof, and that it makes no representation as to such accuracy or as to the sufficiency of such information under the requirements of Rule 144A or for any other purpose.

Section 7.14    Calculation Agent. (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Class A Loans or Notes remain Outstanding there shall at all times be an agent appointed to calculate the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of Schedule B attached hereto (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer initially has appointed the Note Administrator as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Benchmark for each Interest Accrual Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time, with or without cause, upon no less than thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Class A Lenders, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if the Calculation Agent fails to determine the then-current Benchmark or the Interest Distribution Amount for the Class A Loans and for any Class of Notes for any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer shall promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank, which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates. If the Calculation Agent is removed without cause, the expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Calculation Agent’s responsibilities hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Issuer. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. If no successor Calculation Agent shall have been appointed within 30 days after giving of a notice of resignation, the resigning Calculation Agent, a Majority of the Class A Loans and Notes or any Holder of a Class A Loan or Note, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may, at the Issuer’s expense, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent.

(b)           The Calculation Agent shall calculate, on each Benchmark Determination Date, the Benchmark for the next Interest Accrual Period and will communicate such rates via the Monthly Report. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Benchmark Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Benchmark and the Interest Distribution Amounts for the Class A Loans and each Class of Notes, together with the reasons therefor. The determination of the Class A Rate and the Note Interest Rates and the related Interest Distribution Amounts, respectively, by the Calculation Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on all parties to this Indenture, the Class A Lenders and the Noteholders.

Section 7.15    REIT Status. (a)  LCMT and any Subsequent REIT shall not take any action that results in the Issuer failing to qualify as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary of LCMT or a Subsequent REIT, as applicable, for federal income tax purposes, unless based on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary of a REIT other than LCMT or a Subsequent REIT, as applicable; provided that no such opinion shall be required with respect to a transfer to an affiliate that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned by LCMT or a subsequent REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes from LCMT or such subsequent REIT.

(b)           Without limiting the generality of this Section 7.15, if the Issuer is no longer a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, prior to the time that:

(i)            any Mortgage Asset would cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or to become subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis;

(ii)           the Issuer would acquire or receive any asset in connection with a workout or restructuring of a Mortgage Asset that could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or to become subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis;

(iii)          the Issuer would acquire the real property underlying any Mortgage Asset pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; or

(iv)          any Mortgage Asset that is modified in such a manner that could cause the Issuer to become subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis,

the Issuer will either (x) organize one or more Permitted Subsidiaries and contribute the subject property to such Permitted Subsidiary, (y) contribute such Mortgage Asset to an existing Permitted Subsidiary, or (z) sell such Mortgage Asset in accordance with Section 12.1; provided that such Permitted Subsidiary shall be an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Such Issuer Order shall certify that the sale of a Sensitive Asset is being made in accordance with satisfaction of all requirements of this Indenture. The Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release with respect to a Sensitive Asset, release such Sensitive Asset and shall deliver such Sensitive Asset as specified in such Request for Release.

(b)           Any distribution of Cash by a Permitted Subsidiary to the Issuer shall be characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds to the same extent that such Cash would have been characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds if received directly by the Issuer and each Permitted Subsidiary shall cause all proceeds of and collections on each Sensitive Asset owned by such Permitted Subsidiary to be deposited into the Payment Account.

(c)           To the extent applicable, the Issuer shall form one or more Securities Accounts with the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of each Permitted Subsidiary and shall, to the extent applicable, cause Sensitive Asset to be credited to such Securities Accounts.

(d)           Notwithstanding the complete and absolute transfer of a Sensitive Asset to a Permitted Subsidiary, the ownership interests of the Issuer in a Permitted Subsidiary or any property distributed to the Issuer by a Permitted Subsidiary shall be treated as a continuation of its ownership of the Sensitive Asset that was transferred to such Permitted Subsidiary (and shall be treated as having the same characteristics as such Sensitive Asset).

(e)            If the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, or any other authorized party takes any action under this Indenture to sell, liquidate or dispose of all or substantially all of the Collateral, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall cause each Permitted Subsidiary to sell each Sensitive Asset and all other Collateral held by such Permitted Subsidiary and distribute the proceeds of such sale, net of any amounts necessary to satisfy any related expenses and tax liabilities, to the Issuer in exchange for the Equity Interest in such Permitted Subsidiary held by the Issuer.

Section 7.17    Repurchase Requests. If the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer receives any request or demand that a Mortgage Asset be repurchased or replaced arising from any Material Breach of a representation or warranty made with respect to such Mortgage Asset or any Material Document Defect (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”) or a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request from any Person other than the Servicer or Special Servicer, then the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly forward such notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, to the Servicer (if related to a performing Mortgage Loan) or Special Servicer, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “[Repurchase Request]/[withdrawal of a Repurchase Request]” under Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement relating to LMF 2023-1, LLC, requiring action from you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” thereunder.” Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to the prior sentence, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, and shall be responsible for complying with the procedures set forth in Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Repurchase Request.

-137- 

Section 7.18    Annual Audits. As soon as reasonably available and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing in the year after the Closing Date occurs, the Issuer will obtain a consolidated balance sheet audit of the Issuer as of the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated statements of income or operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for such fiscal year audited by a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants, as of the end of such fiscal year, and setting forth, in each case, in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, results of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Issuer.

Nothing in this Indenture shall be interpreted to limit in any respect the rights of the Collateral Manager under the Servicing Agreement and none of the Issuer, Note Administrator and Trustee shall take any action under the Indenture inconsistent with the Collateral Manager’s rights set forth under the Servicing Agreement.

(a)  The Class A Loans and the Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer, in whole but not in part, at the option of and upon written notice by the Collateral Manager (which shall be delivered in accordance with Section 9.3(a)), on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loans and the Investment Grade Notes has been reduced to 10% or less of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loans and the Investment Grade Notes on the Closing Date at a price equal to their applicable Redemption Prices (such redemption, a “Clean-up Call”); provided that the funds available to be used for such Clean-up Call will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price.

(b)           The Class A Loans and the Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer, in whole but not in part, at the option of and upon written notice by the Majority Class G Noteholder (which shall be delivered in accordance with Section 9.3(a)), on any Payment Date following the occurrence of a Tax Event if the Tax Materiality Condition is satisfied at a price equal to their applicable Redemption Prices (such redemption, a “Tax Redemption”); provided that the funds available to be used for such Tax Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price. Upon the receipt of such written direction of a Tax Redemption, the Note Administrator shall provide written notice thereof to the Class A Lenders, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.

(c)           The Class A Loans and the Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer, in whole but not in part, at option of and upon written notice by the Majority Class G Noteholder (which shall be delivered in accordance with Section 9.3(a)), on any Payment Date after the end of the Non-call Period at a price equal to their applicable Redemption Prices (such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”); provided, however, that the funds available to be used for such Optional Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall not sell any Mortgage Asset to any Affiliate other than LMF Holder in connection with an Optional Redemption.

-145- 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Indenture, in the case of an Optional Redemption, if the Majority Class G Noteholder and/or one or more affiliates thereof own 100% of one or more of the most junior Classes of Notes, such holder(s) may elect to exchange such Notes for all of the remaining Mortgage Assets and other assets of the Issuer, in lieu of the Issuer paying such Holder(s) the Redemption Price for such Securities.

(d)           The Class A Loans and the Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer, in whole but not in part, at a price equal to their applicable Redemption Prices, on any Payment Date occurring in January, April, July or October in each year, beginning on the Payment Date occurring in July 2030, upon the occurrence of a Successful Auction and pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement (such redemption, an “Auction Call Redemption”).

(e)            If (i) each Rating Agency withdraws its rating of the Class A Loans prior to the date on which the Class A Loans have been repaid in full and (ii) the Issuer is unable to obtain a replacement rating of the Class A Loans equivalent to BBB- or higher by any other NRSRO (as evidenced by a signed letter from such NRSRO), then the Issuer shall direct the Collateral Manager to liquidate all or such portion of the Mortgage Assets sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Class A Loans, and shall apply all related Sale Proceeds to redeem the Class A Loans by no later than 120 days from the date of such rating withdrawal (such redemption, a “Rating Failure Redemption”). The Mortgage Assets to be liquidated in connection with a Rating Failure Redemption will be selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion in accordance with the Collateral Management Standard.

(f)            In connection with any redemption pursuant to Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c), if the Holder of the Class G Notes and/or one or more affiliates thereof own any Notes, such holder(s) may elect to include such Notes as part of the consideration for such redemption and the Total Redemption Price shall be reduced by the outstanding principal balance of such Notes (plus the interest accrued thereon). If such holder(s) own less than 100% of the Notes of any such Class, the Note Administrator shall cooperate with such holder(s) in order to effect such redemption (including, if necessary, converting such Notes into definitive form).

(g)           A redemption pursuant to Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c) shall not occur unless at least three (3) Business Days prior to the scheduled Redemption Date, the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee and the Note Administrator that:

(i)            the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, has entered into a binding commitment or agreement (which may be an agreement with an affiliate of any Holder of the Class G Notes) to sell (directly, by participation or other arrangement) all or part of the Collateral not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date or LCMT (or an Affiliate, agent or advisor thereof) has priced but not yet closed another securitization transaction;

(ii)           the related Sale Proceeds (in immediately available funds), together with all other available funds (including proceeds from the sale of the Mortgage Assets, Eligible Investments maturing on or prior to the scheduled Redemption Date, all amounts in the Accounts and available Cash), will be an aggregate amount sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price; and

-146- 

(iii)          all of the other conditions for such redemption, as applicable, have been satisfied.

(h)           In connection with an Optional Redemption, a Clean-Up Call, an Auction Call Redemption, Rating Failure Redemption or a Tax Redemption, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, and acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement, may at any time direct the Trustee in writing by Issuer Order to sell, and the Trustee shall sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager, any Mortgage Asset without regard to any of the limitations in Section 12.1(a). Upon any such sale, the Trustee shall release any such Mortgage Asset pursuant to Section 10.12.

Section 9.2      Record Date for Redemption. In connection with a Clean-up Call pursuant to Section 9.1(a), a Tax Redemption pursuant to Section 9.1(b), an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 9.1(c), an Auction Call Redemption pursuant to Section 9.1(d) or a Rating Failure Redemption pursuant to Section 9.1(e), the Note Administrator shall set the applicable Record Date ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed Redemption Date.

Section 9.3      Notice of Redemption or Maturity. (a)  Notice of redemption (or a withdrawal thereof) or Clean-up Call pursuant to Section 9.1 or the Maturity of any Class A Loans or Notes shall be given in accordance with Sections 14.3 and 14.4 hereof not less than ten (10) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day (or promptly thereafter upon receipt of written notice, if later) where the notice of an Optional Redemption, Auction Call Redemption, a Clean-up Call or a Tax Redemption is withdrawn pursuant to Section 9.3(c)) prior to the applicable Redemption Date or Maturity, to the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Rating Agencies, and each Holder to be redeemed, at its address in the Loan Register or Notes Register, as applicable.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i)            the applicable Redemption Date;

(ii)           the applicable Redemption Price;

(iii)          that all the Class A Loans and Notes are being paid in full and that interest on the Class A Loans and the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date specified in the notice; and

(iv)          the place or places where any Notes held as Definitive Notes to be redeemed in whole are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price which shall be the office or agency of the Paying Agent as provided in Section 7.2.

(b)           Notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuer or at the Issuer’s request, by the Note Administrator in their names, and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of a Class A Loan or Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Class A Loans or Notes.

-147- 

(c)            Any such notice of an Optional Redemption, Auction Call Redemption, Clean-up Call or Tax Redemption may be withdrawn by the Issuer at the direction of the Collateral Manager up to the Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date by written notice to the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Holder of Class A Loans and/or Notes to be redeemed, and the Collateral Manager. The failure of any Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call or Tax Redemption that is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default.

(d)           The Redemption Price shall be determined no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the proposed Redemption Date.

Section 9.4      Class A Loans and Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Class A Loans and the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall Default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon) the Class A Loans and Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Class A Loan or Note to be redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Class A Loan or Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Class A Loan or Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee that the applicable Class A Loan or Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on the Class A Loans or on any Notes of a Class to be so redeemed whose Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Class A Loans or Notes, or one or more predecessor Class A Loans or Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.7(g).

If any Class A Loan or Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the Class A Rate or applicable Note Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period the Class A Loan or Note remains Outstanding. Subject to applicable escheatment law, any funds not distributed to any Class A Lender or Noteholder on the Payment Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Class A Loans or Notes, shall, on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.

Section 9.5      Mandatory Redemption. On any Payment Date on which any Market Trigger is continuing or the Debt Protection Tests are not satisfied as of the related Determination Date, the Class A Loans and/or the Investment Grade Notes shall be redeemed (a “Mandatory Redemption”), from Interest Proceeds as set forth in Sections 11.1(a)(i)(6) and (10) in an amount necessary, and only to the extent necessary, for such Market Trigger to be cured or the Debt Protection Tests to be satisfied, or if sooner, until the Class A Loans and/or the Investment Grade Notes have been paid in full. On or promptly after such Mandatory Redemption, the Issuer shall certify or cause to be certified to the Rating Agencies, the Note Administrator and the Trustee whether the Market Trigger has been cured or the Debt Protection Tests have been satisfied, as applicable.

(iii)           if the Majority Class B Noteholder provides notice in accordance with clause (ii) above of its intent to exercise an Optional Class A Loan Prepayment, then the Majority Class C Noteholder shall have the right, within five (5) Business Days of receiving such notice, to provide an additional notice in accordance with clause (ii) above of its intent to exercise the Optional Class A Loan Prepayment, and the Majority Class C Noteholder’s right to exercise such Optional Class A Loan Prepayment shall have priority over that of the Majority Class B Noteholder;

The Note Administrator shall provide the Advancing Agent with additional email notice, prior to any funding of an Interest Advance by the Advancing Agent, of any additional interest remittances received by the Note Administrator after delivery of such initial notice that reduces such Interest Shortfall. No later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the related Payment Date, the Advancing Agent shall advance the difference between such amounts (each such advance, an “Interest Advance”) by deposit of an amount equal to such Interest Advance in the Payment Account, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b), and subject to a maximum limit, with respect to any Payment Date, equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of such Interest Shortfalls that would otherwise occur on the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes on such Payment Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of the interest payments not received in respect of Mortgage Assets with respect to such Payment Date (including, for such purpose, interest payments received on the Mortgage Assets but applied to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement) under the circumstances and subject to the limitations set forth herein.

-153- 

If the Advancing Agent fails to make a required Interest Advance, (i) the Backup Advancing Agent shall make such Interest Advance and (ii) if the Backup Advancing Agent fails to make such Interest Advance, the Trustee shall make such Interest Advance, in each case, subject to a determination of recoverability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no circumstance will the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, be required to make an Interest Advance in respect of a Mortgage Asset to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of all unreimbursed Interest Advances would exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes. In addition, in no event will the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee be required to advance any payments in respect of (i) interest on any Class other than the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes or (ii) principal of any Class A Loan or Note. Any Interest Advance made by the Advancing Agent with respect to a Payment Date that is in excess of the actual Interest Shortfall for such Payment Date shall be refunded to the Advancing Agent by the Note Administrator on the related Payment Date (or, if such Interest Advance is made prior to final determination by the Note Administrator of such Interest Shortfall, on the Business Day of such final determination).

The Advancing Agent shall provide the Note Administrator written notice of a determination by the Advancing Agent that a proposed Interest Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the related Payment Date. If the Advancing Agent shall fail to make any required Interest Advance by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date upon which distributions are to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the Note Administrator shall remove the Advancing Agent in its capacity as advancing agent hereunder as required under Section 17.5(d) and the Backup Advancing Agent shall be required to make such Interest Advance no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Payment Date, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Backup Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b).

The Trustee shall, based on its determination of recoverability, make such Interest Advance no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Payment Date. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Advancing Agent or Backup Advancing Agent with respect to a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance hereunder. Based upon available information at the time, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Advancing Agent or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, will provide fifteen (15) days prior notice to the Rating Agencies if recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall on the next Payment Date. No later than the close of business on the Determination Date related to a Payment Date on which the recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall, the Special Servicer will provide the Rating Agencies notice of such recovery.

-154- 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to make any Interest Advance unless such Person determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith that such Interest Advance, or such proposed Interest Advance, plus interest expected to accrue thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, will not be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. In determining whether any proposed Interest Advance will be, or whether any Interest Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, will take into account:

(i)            amounts that may be realized on each Mortgaged Property in its “as is” or then-current condition and occupancy;

(ii)           the potential length of time before such Interest Advance may be reimbursed and the resulting degree of uncertainty with respect to such reimbursement; and

(iii)          the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and

(iv)          the fact that Interest Advances are intended to provide liquidity only and not credit support to the Holders of the Class A Loans or any Class of Investment Grade Notes.

For purposes of any such determination of whether an Interest Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, an Interest Advance will be deemed to be nonrecoverable if the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that future Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds may be ultimately insufficient to fully reimburse such Interest Advance, plus interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate within a reasonable period of time. The Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on any affirmative determination by the Advancing Agent that an Interest Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. Absent bad faith, the determination by the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, as to the nonrecoverability of any Interest Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes.

(c)           Each of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee may recover any previously unreimbursed Interest Advance made by it (including any Nonrecoverable Interest Advance), together with interest thereon, first, from Interest Proceeds and second (to the extent that there are insufficient Interest Proceeds for such reimbursement), from Principal Proceeds to the extent that such reimbursement would not trigger an additional Interest Shortfall; provided that if at any time an Interest Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee shall be entitled to recover all outstanding Interest Advances from the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period prior to the related Determination Date. The Advancing Agent or Backup Advancing Agent, as the case may be, shall be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of recoveries of Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in such manner as the Advancing Agent or Backup Advancing Agent, as the case may be, determines is in the best interest of the Holders of the Class A Loans and the Notes, as a collective whole, which may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in installments.

-155- 

(d)           The Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee will each be entitled with respect to any Interest Advance made by it (including Nonrecoverable Interest Advances) to interest accrued on the amount of such Interest Advance for so long as it is outstanding at the Reimbursement Rate.

(e)           The obligations of the Advancing Agent , the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee to make Interest Advances in respect of the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes will continue through the Stated Maturity Date, unless the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes are previously redeemed or repaid in full.

(f)            In no event will the Advancing Agent, in its capacity as such hereunder, or the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent hereunder, be required to advance any amounts in respect of (i) interest on any Class other than the Class A Loans, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes or (ii) principal of any Class A Loan or Note.

(g)            In consideration of the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Advancing Agent shall be entitled to receive, at the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Advancing Agent Fee. For so long as LCMT (or any of its Affiliates) (i) is the Advancing Agent and (ii) LMF Holder (or any of its Affiliates) owns all of the Class G Notes, LCMT hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Affiliates of such REIT, to waive its rights to receive the Advancing Agent Fee and any Reimbursement Interest. If the Advancing Agent fails to make an Interest Advance required by this Indenture with respect to a Payment Date, the Advancing Agent shall be in default of its obligations under this Indenture and the Note Administrator shall terminate the Advancing Agent in its capacity as Advancing Agent under the terms of this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement and use commercially reasonable efforts for up to 90 days following such termination to replace the Advancing Agent with a successor advancing agent that satisfies the requirements set forth in this Indenture. If the Advancing Agent is terminated for failing to make an Interest Advance hereunder (as provided in Section 17.5(d)) (or for failing to make a Servicing Advance under the Servicing Agreement) that the Advancing Agent did not determine to be nonrecoverable, the Backup Advancing Agent, the Trustee or any applicable subsequent successor advancing agent will be entitled to receive the Advancing Agent Fee (plus Reimbursement Interest on any Interest Advance made by the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee (in each case solely with respect to Interest Advances) or made by any applicable subsequent successor advancing agent with respect to Servicing Advances or Interest Advances) and shall make Interest Advances until a successor advancing agent is appointed.

(h)           The determination by the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee (in its capacity as successor Advancing Agent), as applicable, (i) that it has made a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance (together with Reimbursement Interest thereon) or (ii) that any proposed Interest Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Issuer and the Rating Agencies, setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of, or the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, entitlement to reimbursement with respect to, any Interest Advance.

-156- 

(i)            With respect to any Interest Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Backup Advancing Agent’s rights, protections and immunities hereunder, including, without limitation, the Backup Advancing Agent’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Interest Advance at the reimbursement rate, the Advancing Agent Fee and the right to determine that a proposed Interest Advance is a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all references to “Backup Advancing Agent” in Section 11.1 relating to reimbursing the Backup Advancing Agent for any Interest Advance or interest thereon shall include the “Trustee” so the Note Administrator shall be entitled to withdraw from the Payment Account any amounts available to pay the Trustee, reimburse the Trustee for such Interest Advances and other items and use such amounts instead to reimburse the Trustee for such Interest Advances; provided that the Trustee shall have priority over the Backup Advancing Agent for such reimbursements.

(j)            The Trustee will remain eligible to act as Backup Advancing Agent for so long as it maintains its eligibility requirements as Trustee under Section 6.8.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1     Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee and Note Administrator. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of the Issuer or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel also may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, or the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, certifying as to the factual matters that form a basis for such Opinion of Counsel and stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee or the Note Administrator at the request or direction of the Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s rights to make such request or direction, the Trustee or the Note Administrator shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(g).

Section 14.2     Acts of Class A Lenders and Noteholders.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Class A Lenders or Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

(b)            The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee or the Note Administrator deems sufficient.

(c)            The principal amount and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the Notes Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee and Note Administrator may conclusively rely on an Investor Certification to determine ownership of any Notes.

(d)            Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Class A Lender or Noteholder shall bind such Class A Lender or Noteholder (and any transferee thereof) and of every Class A Loan or Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Class A Loan or Note.

Section 14.4     Notices to Class A Lenders and Noteholders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement provides for notice to the Class A Lenders and/or Noteholders of any event,

(a)            such notice shall be sufficiently given to such Holders if provided to each Holder affected by such event at the notice address (whether physical or electronic) of such Holder as it appears in the Loan Register or Notes Register, as applicable, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

(b)            such notice shall be in the English language.

The Note Administrator shall deliver to the Class A Lenders and/or Noteholders any information or notice in its possession, requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of the Class A Loans or any Class of Notes.

Neither the failure to provide any notice, nor any defect in any notice so provided, to any particular Holder of a Class A Loan or Note shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Class A Loans or Notes. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to provide notice by mail (if so required), then such notification to Holders of Class A Loans or Notes shall be made with the approval of the Note Administrator and shall constitute sufficient notification to such Holders of Class A Loans or Notes for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Class A Lenders or Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee and with the Note Administrator, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In the event that, by reason of the suspension of the regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to provide notice by mail (if so required) of any event to Class A Lenders or Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 14.6     Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

(f)            The Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Advancing Agent and each appointment of a successor Advancing Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, and to the Holders of the Class A Loans and the Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Loan Register or Notes Register, as applicable.

Section 17.6     Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Advancing Agent. (a)  Every successor Advancing Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager and the retiring Advancing Agent an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

Calculation of the Benchmark

For purposes of calculating Term SOFR, the Issuer shall initially appoint the Note Administrator as calculation agent (in such capacity, the “Calculation Agent”). Term SOFR with respect to any Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

1.            On each Benchmark Determination Date, Term SOFR shall equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent, identified as “1 Month CME Term SOFR,” as reported on the Term SOFR Source as of the Reference Time.

2.            If, on any Benchmark Determination Date, Term SOFR does not appear on the Term SOFR Source by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), then Term SOFR for purposes of calculating Term SOFR shall be the rate published on the last SOFR Business Day preceding such Benchmark Determination Date for which Term SOFR was published.

3.            In no event shall Term SOFR be less than zero.

In making the above calculations, all percentages resulting from the calculation shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point (0.00001%).

SCHEDULE D

CREDIT RISK RETENTION

(a)            Credit Risk Retention Requirements. Pursuant to The U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules, a “securitizer” or “sponsor” of asset-backed securities is required (unless an exemption exists), either directly or through one or more entities that it directly or indirectly majority controls, is majority controlled by, or is under common majority control with (a “Majority-Owned Affiliate”), to retain an “eligible vertical interest” or “eligible horizontal residual interest” (or any combination thereof) in a securities transaction. Under the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules, a “sponsor” is a person who organizes and initiates a securitization transaction by selling or transferring assets, either directly or indirectly, including through an affiliate, to the issuer.

the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules include certain restrictions on hedging, transfer and financing of the required credit risk retention. These restrictions provide that (i) the retaining sponsor or any “majority-owned affiliate” may not transfer the required credit risk retention except to a “majority-owned affiliate” of the retaining sponsor, (ii) the retaining sponsor and its affiliates will not be permitted to engage in any hedging transactions if payments on the hedge instrument are materially related to the required credit risk retention and the hedge position would limit the financial exposure to the required credit risk retention, and (iii) neither the retaining sponsor nor any of its affiliates may pledge the required credit risk retention as collateral for any obligation unless such obligation is with full recourse to the sponsor or affiliate, respectively.

Pursuant to the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules, the restrictions on hedging, transfer and financing of the required credit risk retention will expire on the date that is the latest of (i) the date on which the total unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has been reduced to 33% of the total unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date; (ii) the date on which the total outstanding principal amount of the Class A Loans and the Notes has been reduced to 33% of the total outstanding principal amount of the Class A Loans and the Notes as of the Closing Date; or (iii) two years after the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding any references herein to the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules and other risk retention related matters, in the event the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules (or any relevant portion thereof) are repealed or determined by applicable regulatory agencies to be no longer applicable to this securitization transaction, neither the sponsor nor any other party will be required to comply with or act in accordance with the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules (or such relevant portion thereof). In addition, if the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules are modified in a manner that is less restrictive than the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules in effect as of the date hereof, the Sponsor and its affiliates will have no obligation to comply with the more restrictive provisions of the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules currently in effect.

(b)            Sponsor or Majority-Owned Affiliate to Hold an Eligible Horizontal Residual Interest. In order to comply with the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules, the Sponsor, the party organizing and initiating the securitization transaction contemplated by this Indenture by contributing the Mortgage Assets (making it the “sponsor” and “securitizer” of this securitization transaction), will cause LMF Holder, which is a Majority-Owned Affiliate of the Sponsor, to hold an “eligible horizontal residual interest” in the Issuer in an amount (that is, with a fair value) equal to not less than 5% of the fair value of the Class A Loans and the Notes as determined using a fair value measurement framework under GAAP. As of the Closing Date, LMF Holder will retain the Class G Notes, which equal in the aggregate at least 5% of the fair value of all of the Class A Loans and the Notes in the transaction, thereby qualifying as the EHRI and satisfying the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules.

Sch. D-1 

(c)            Material Terms of the Class G Notes. The material terms of the Class G Notes (including aggregate principal amount, interest rate, principal payments, priority, redemption and other rights) are set forth in this Indenture and the Class G Notes.

(d)            Qualifying CRE Loans. The Sponsor has determined that as of the Closing Date, 0.0% of the Mortgage Assets is comprised of mortgage loans that are “qualifying CRE loans” as such term is described in 17 C.F.R. §246.17 of the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules.

Under the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules, the total required credit risk retention percentage for this transaction is 5.0%.

(e)            Fair Value of the Class G Notes. The estimated fair value of the Class G Notes by dollar amount is $29,811,336 and by percentage of aggregate fair value of the Class A Loans and the Notes is 7.83%.

The Sponsor has determined the fair values of the Class A Loans and the Notes in accordance with the fair value assessment described in Accounting Standards Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in determining fair value. These tiers include:

•     “Level 1” inputs, which reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market;

•     “Level 2” inputs, which are inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observed directly or indirectly, such as interest rate curves or yields; and

•     “Level 3” inputs, which include data not observable in the market and which reflect subjective determinations regarding inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing the instrument in a hypothetical sale.

The fair value of the Class A Loan, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes are categorized within Level 1 of the hierarchy reflecting the actual amount lent in respect of the Class A Loan, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes. The fair values of the Class E Notes, the Class F Notes and the Class G Notes are categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy as inputs to the fair value calculation are generally not observable in the market and reflect the Sponsor’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing such Notes.

Sch. D-2 

Set forth below under the heading “Determination of Amount of Required Credit Risk Retention” are tables that illustrate and set forth certain assumptions and expectations with respect to how each Class is expected to be sized, priced, and fairly valued for investment by third party investors. The fair value disclosures set forth in this Schedule D were derived in part from, or based in part on, certain publicly and non-publicly available market data, information and/or a cash flow modeling engine (that is widely accepted among financial professionals as the standard modeling service for structured products).

(f)            Determination of Amount of Required Credit Risk Retention.

General. Classes of securities of floating rate commercial real estate securities transactions are typically priced based on either a discount margin to the Benchmark or to a targeted yield. The method of pricing used is primarily a function of the rating, the credit metrics and liquidity of the securities, but can also be determined by prevailing market conditions and investor preference. For this transaction, the Class A Loans and the Notes were priced based on a discount margin methodology. The Sponsor made its determination of the fair value of the Class G Notes presented herein based on a number of inputs consistent with a discount margin methodology in the manner described below.

Certain Assumptions. In determining the fair value of the Class A Loans and the Notes as of the Closing Date, the Sponsor used the Modeling Assumptions.

Weighted Average Lives. Based on the Modeling Assumptions and Priority of Payments, the Sponsor calculated the estimated schedule of payments of interest and principal on each Class over the course of the transaction. On the basis of the scheduled principal and redemption payments, the Sponsor calculated the weighted average life for each Class.

Price of the Notes. For purposes of calculating fair value, the Sponsor utilized the fair value of the Class A Loan, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, as set forth in the table below. The Sponsor determined prices of the Class E Notes, the Class F Notes and the Class G Notes on the basis of information obtained by the Sponsor from certain publicly and non-publicly available market data regarding prices that similar floating rate commercial real estate securities with similar credit ratings and cash flow profiles and similar average lives have priced at in recent securitization transactions.

Class	Price
Class A Loan		100.000	%
Class B Notes		100.000	%
Class C Notes		100.000	%
Class D Notes		100.000	%
Class E Notes		100.000	%
Class F Notes		100.000	%
Class G Notes		84.451	%

Sch. D-3 

Determination of Discount Margins and Coupons. For purposes of calculating fair value, the Sponsor utilized the actual discount margin of the Class A Loan, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes. For purposes of calculating fair value, the Sponsor utilized the actual yield obtained in connection with the offering of the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes being 11.93% and 12.93%, respectively. The discount margins were generally informed by information the Sponsor received regarding recent new-issue spreads of similarly rated floating rate commercial real estate securities, with similar assumed pool and asset quality, payment priority and weighted average lives to the related Class of Notes as well as market expectations for interest rate and credit risk.

Class	Discount Margin
Class A Loan		2.85	%
Class B Notes		4.35	%
Class C Notes		5.65	%
Class D Notes		6.25	%
Class E Notes		6.75	%
Class F Notes		7.75	%
Class G Notes		N/A	(1)

(1)            The Class G Notes will not have a stated interest rate but rather will be entitled to excess cash flow in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Calculation of Estimated Fair Value of All Class A Loans and Notes. Based on the foregoing, the Sponsor determined the following fair values for the Class A Loan and each Class of Notes.

Class	Fair Value
Class A Loan	$	270,400,000
Class B Notes	$	30,400,000
Class C Notes	$	16,900,000
Class D Notes	$	7,700,000
Class E Notes	$	15,000,000
Class F Notes	$	10,600,000
Class G Notes	$	29,811,336
Total	$	380,811,336

Each Holder, by its acquisition of an interest in the Notes, shall be deemed to have represented and agreed to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee that (a) it is not and will not be, and is not acting on behalf of or using any assets of any person that is or will become, an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, any other employee benefit plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” by reason of such an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in the entity or otherwise (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”) or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition of the transferred Notes do not and will not constitute or otherwise give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

Exhibit A-1-6

Each Plan or other plan subject to Similar Law that purchases or acquires any Note or interest therein, will be deemed to represent, acknowledge and agree that none of the Issuer, Trustee, Note Administrator, Advancing Agent, Custodian, Collateral Manager, Servicer or Special Servicer, or any persons providing marketing services on their behalf, or any of their respective affiliates has provided any investment advice, or is otherwise acting in any fiduciary capacity (whether under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or otherwise), in connection with the plan’s acquisition of any such Note.

Title to Notes shall pass by registration in the Register kept by the Note Administrator, acting through its Corporate Trust Office.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Note Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

No right or remedy conferred herein or in the Indenture upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holder hereof is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AGREES NOT TO CAUSE THE FILING OF A PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY, WINDING UP, REORGANIZATION, ARRANGEMENT, MORATORIUM, LIQUIDATION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE ISSUER OR ANY PERMITTED SUBSIDIARY IN ANY APPLICABLE OR RELEVANT JURISDICTION UNTIL AT LEAST ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY (OR, IF LONGER, THE APPLICABLE PREFERENCE PERIOD THEN IN EFFECT AND ONE DAY), AFTER THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL NOTES ISSUED UNDER THE INDENTURE.

Each purchaser and any subsequent transferee of this Note or any interest herein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of this Note or any interest herein, be deemed to have agreed to treat this Note as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In connection with the purchase of this Note, the Holder and each beneficial owner thereof agrees that: (A) none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, or any of their respective affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for such Holder or beneficial owner; (B) such Holder or beneficial owner is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any written or oral advice, counsel or representations of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, or any of their respective affiliates, other than any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with such party; and (C) such Holder or beneficial owner has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial, accounting and other advisers to the extent it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to the Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, or any of their respective affiliates.

Each Holder, by its acquisition of an interest in the Notes, shall be deemed to have represented and agreed to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee that (a) it is not and will not be, and is not acting on behalf of or using any assets of any person that is or will become, an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, any other employee benefit plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” by reason of such an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in the entity or otherwise (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”) or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition of the transferred Notes do not and will not constitute or otherwise give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

Each Plan or other plan subject to Similar Law that purchases or acquires any Note or interest therein, will be deemed to represent, acknowledge and agree that none of the Issuer, Trustee, Note Administrator, Advancing Agent, Custodian, Collateral Manager, Servicer or Special Servicer, or any persons providing marketing services on their behalf, or any of their respective affiliates has provided any investment advice, or is otherwise acting in any fiduciary capacity (whether under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or otherwise), in connection with the plan’s acquisition of any such Note.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AGREES NOT TO CAUSE THE FILING OF A PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY, WINDING UP, REORGANIZATION, ARRANGEMENT, MORATORIUM, LIQUIDATION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE ISSUER OR ANY PERMITTED SUBSIDIARY IN ANY APPLICABLE OR RELEVANT JURISDICTION UNTIL AT LEAST ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY (OR, IF LONGER, THE APPLICABLE PREFERENCE PERIOD THEN IN EFFECT AND ONE DAY), AFTER THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL NOTES ISSUED UNDER THE INDENTURE.

Each Plan or other plan subject to Similar Law that purchases or acquires any Note or interest therein, will be deemed to represent, acknowledge and agree that none of the Issuer, Trustee, Note Administrator, Advancing Agent, Custodian, Collateral Manager, Servicer or Special Servicer, or any persons providing marketing services on their behalf, or any of their respective affiliates has provided any investment advice, or is otherwise acting in any fiduciary capacity (whether under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or otherwise), in connection with the plan’s acquisition of any such Note.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AGREES NOT TO CAUSE THE FILING OF A PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY, WINDING UP, REORGANIZATION, ARRANGEMENT, MORATORIUM, LIQUIDATION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE ISSUER OR ANY PERMITTED SUBSIDIARY IN ANY APPLICABLE OR RELEVANT JURISDICTION UNTIL AT LEAST ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY (OR, IF LONGER, THE APPLICABLE PREFERENCE PERIOD THEN IN EFFECT AND ONE DAY), AFTER THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL NOTES ISSUED UNDER THE INDENTURE.

(xiii)            the Transferee acknowledges that, each investor or prospective investor will be required to make such representations to the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer, as the Issuer will require in connection with applicable AML/OFAC obligations, including, without limitation, representations to the Issuer that such investor or prospective investor (or any person controlling or controlled by the investor or prospective investor; if the investor or prospective investor is a privately held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the investor or prospective investor; or any person for whom the investor or prospective investor is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the investment) is not (i) an individual or entity named on any available lists of known or suspected terrorists, terrorist organizations or of other sanctioned persons issued by the United States government and the government(s) of any jurisdiction(s) in which the Partnership is doing business, including the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by OFAC, as such list may be amended from time to time; (ii) an individual or entity otherwise prohibited by the OFAC sanctions programs; or (iii) a current or former senior foreign political figure or politically exposed person, or an immediate family member or close associate of such an individual.

(xv)            the Transferee acknowledges that, by law, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or other service providers acting on behalf of the Issuer, may be obligated to “freeze” any investment in a Note by such investor. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or other service providers acting on behalf of the Issuer may also be required to report such action and to disclose the investor’s identity to OFAC or other applicable governmental and regulatory authorities;

(xvi)            the Transferee understands that (a) there is no secondary market for the Notes, (b) no assurances can be given as to the liquidity of any trading market for the Notes and (c) it is unlikely that a trading market for the Notes will develop. Accordingly, the Transferee must be prepared to hold the Notes until the Stated Maturity Date;

(xvii)            the Transferee understands that the Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and it hereby consents to such reliance; and

This Confidentiality Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) is made in connection with LMF 2023-1, LLC, as issuer (the “Issuer”, and together with its affiliates, the “Furnishing Entities” and each a “Furnishing Entity”) furnishing certain financial, operational, structural and other information relating to the issuance of the floating rate notes issued by the Issuer (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Indenture and Security Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2023 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, Lument Commercial Mortgage Trust, as advancing agent (the “Advancing Agent”) Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Computershare Trust Company, National Association as note administrator (the “Note Administrator”), and as custodian, and the assets underlying or referenced by the Notes, including the identity of, and financial information with respect to borrowers, sponsors, guarantors, managers and lessees with respect to such assets (together, the “Collateral”) to you (the “NRSRO”) through the website of Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as 17g-5 Information Provider under the Indenture. Information provided by each Furnishing Entity is labeled as provided by the specific Furnishing Entity.

(1) Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Confidentiality Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall include the following information (irrespective of its source or form of communication, including information obtained by you through access to this site) that may be furnished to you by or on behalf of a Furnishing Entity in connection with the issuance or monitoring of a rating with respect to the Certificates: (x) all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts, records, agreements, legal documents and other information (such information, the “Evaluation Material”) and (y)  any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, including the status thereof; provided, however, that the term Confidential Information shall not include information which:

(a) was or becomes generally available to the public (including through filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or disclosure in an offering document) other than as a result of a disclosure by you or a NRSRO Representative (as defined in Section 2(c)(i) below) in violation of this Confidentiality Agreement;

(b) was or is lawfully obtained by you from a source other than a Furnishing Entity or its representatives that (i) is reasonably believed by you to be under no obligation to maintain the information as confidential and (ii) provides it to you without any obligation to maintain the information as confidential; or

(c) is independently developed by the NRSRO without reference to any Confidential Information.

(2) Information to Be Held in Confidence.

(a) You will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).

(b) You acknowledge that you are aware that the United States federal and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.

Exhibit L-3 

(c) You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 3, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

(i) disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

(ii) solely to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5), post the Confidential Information to the NRSRO’s password protected website; and

(iii) use information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended Purpose, if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.

(3) Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you have been informed by written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

(4) Obligation to Return Evaluation Material. Promptly upon written request by or on behalf of the relevant Furnishing Entity, all material or documents, including copies thereof, that contain Evaluation Material will be destroyed or, in your sole discretion, returned to the relevant Furnishing Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the NRSRO may retain one or more copies of any document or other material containing Evaluation Material to the extent necessary for legal or regulatory compliance (or compliance with the NRSRO’s internal policies and procedures designed to ensure legal or regulatory compliance) and (b) the NRSRO may retain any portion of the Evaluation Material that may be found in backup tapes or other archive or electronic media or other documents prepared by the NRSRO and any Evaluation Material obtained in an oral communication; provided, that any Evaluation Material so retained by the NRSRO will remain subject to this Confidentiality Agreement and the NRSRO will remain bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement.

Exhibit L-4 

(5) Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

(a) The NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.

(b) You agree promptly to advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.

(c) You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed that no failure to or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

(6) Term. Notwithstanding the termination or cancellation of this Confidentiality Agreement and regardless of whether the NRSRO has provided a credit rating on a Security, your obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will survive indefinitely.

(7) Governing Law. This Confidentiality Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under the Confidentiality Agreement, the relationships of the parties and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.

(8) Amendments. This Confidentiality Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing by the NRSRO and each Furnishing Entity.

(9) Entire Agreement. This Confidentiality Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and the Furnishing Entities relating to the treatment of Confidential Information heretofore or hereafter reviewed or inspected by you. This agreement supersedes all other understandings and agreements between us relating to such matters; provided, however, that, if the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with another agreement relating to the Confidential Information that specifically states that the terms of such agreement shall supersede, modify or amend the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, then to the extent the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with such agreement, the terms of such agreement shall control notwithstanding acceptance by you of the terms hereof by entry into this website.
