Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 6, 2021, Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of December 1, 2021 and as to which an executed version is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Registrant”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, of the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C61, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61.

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

⁽¹⁾       The subject whole loan will be serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement until the securitization of the applicable lead securitization companion loan, after which the subject whole loan will be serviced pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for such lead securitization.

(“Academy”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel Hamilton”) and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert Williams” and, together in such capacity with WFS, Credit

Suisse, UBS, Academy and Drexel Hamilton, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to the underwriting agreement, dated as of November 19, 2021 and as to which an executed version is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, between the Registrant, the Underwriters and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“WFB”).

In connection with the issuance and sale to the Underwriters of the Public Certificates, a legal opinion was rendered related to the validity of, and certain federal income tax considerations relating to, the Public Certificates, which legal opinion is attached hereto as Exhibits 5, 8 and 23.

On December 6, 2021, the Registrant also sold the Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR, Class J-RR, Class K-RR, Class L-RR and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Private Certificates”), having an aggregate initial principal amount of $125,174,400, to WFS, Credit Suisse, UBS, Academy, Drexel Hamilton, and Siebert Williams (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of November 19, 2021, between the Registrant, the Initial Purchasers and WFB. The Private Certificates were sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act.

The Public Certificates and the Private Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C61 (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust fund formed on December 6, 2021 under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The assets of the Issuing Entity consist primarily of sixty-one (61) commercial and multifamily mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”). The Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from (i) LMF Commercial, LLC (“LMF”), pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and dated as of November 19, 2021, between the Registrant and LMF, (ii) WFB, pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and dated as of November 19, 2021, between the Registrant and WFB, (iii) Ladder Capital Finance LLC (“LCF”), pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and dated as of November 19, 2021, among the Registrant, LCF, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, (iv) Column Financial, Inc. (“Column”), pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4 and dated as of November 19, 2021, between the Registrant and Column, (v) UBS AG, by and through its branch office at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York (“UBS AG”), pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5 and dated as of November 19, 2021, between the Registrant and UBS AG, (vi) BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC (“BSPRT”), pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6 and dated as of November 19, 2021, among the Registrant, BSPRT and Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc., and (vii) Oceanview Commercial Mortgage Finance, LLC (“OCMF”), pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.7 and dated as of November 19, 2021, among the Registrant, OCMF and Oceanview U.S. Holdings Corp.

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

The Public Certificates and the Mortgage Loans are more particularly described in the Prospectus dated November 22, 2021 and as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6, 2021. In connection with such Prospectus, the Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant has provided the certification attached hereto as Exhibit 36.1 and dated as of November 22, 2021.

On December 6, 2021, the Registrant sold all of the Public Certificates, having an aggregate certificate principal amount of $639,244,000. The net proceeds of the offering to the Registrant of the

issuance of the Certificates, after deducting expenses payable by the Registrant of $6,340,016, were approximately $707,427,680. Of the expenses paid by the Registrant, approximately $26,100 were paid directly to affiliates of the Registrant, $1,800,914 in the form of fees were paid to the Underwriters, $442,969 were paid to or for the Underwriters and $4,070,033 were other expenses. All of the foregoing expense amounts are the Depositor’s reasonable estimates of such expenses. No underwriting discounts and commissions or finder’s fees were paid by the Registrant; the Public Certificates were offered by the Underwriters for sale to the public in negotiated transactions or otherwise at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The related registration statement (file no. 333-257991) was originally declared effective on October 15, 2021.

Credit Risk Retention

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as “retaining sponsor” (in such capacity, the “Retaining Sponsor”), is satisfying its credit risk retention obligation under Regulation RR, 12 C.F.R. Part 43 (the “Risk Retention Rule”) in connection with the securitization of the Mortgage Loans referred to above by the purchase on the Closing Date and holding by LD III Sub IV LLC, acting as third-party purchaser under the Risk Retention Rule, of the Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR, Class J-RR, Class K-RR and Class L-RR Certificates (the “RR Certificates”).

The RR Certificates constitute an “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as defined in the Risk Retention Rule). The aggregate fair value of the RR Certificates is equal to approximately $39,803,385 (excluding accrued interest), representing approximately 5.05% of the aggregate fair value of all of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates). The fair value of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) was determined based on the actual sale prices and finalized tranche sizes of such Certificates.

The fair value of the “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as defined in the Risk Retention Rule) that the Retaining Sponsor is required to retain under the credit risk retention requirements of the Risk Retention Rule is equal to at least $39,417,908, representing approximately 5.00% of the aggregate fair value of all of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates), excluding accrued interest.

As of the Closing Date, there are no material differences between (a) the valuation methodology or any of the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value or range of fair values disclosed in the Depositor’s preliminary prospectus dated November 16, 2021 and as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2021 under the heading “Credit Risk Retention” prior to the pricing of the Certificates and (b) the valuation methodology or the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value at the time of the Closing Date.

The Depositor will be solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the sale of the Registered Certificates to the Underwriters. In addition, the Depositor was solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Depositor is not selling the Registered Certificates to the Underwriters and is not transferring the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of the Depositor.

(xviii)            The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Depositor with respect to the offering of the Registered Certificates contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial or other advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Depositor or any other person irrespective of whether any Underwriter has advised or is advising the Depositor on other matters; (ii) no Underwriter is advising the Depositor as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction; (iii) the Depositor has consulted, to the extent it deems necessary, its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Depositor with respect thereto; (iv) any review by the Underwriters of the Depositor, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Depositor; and (v) the Underwriters’ obligations to the Depositor in respect of the offering, purchase and sale of the Registered Certificates are set forth in this Agreement in their entirety.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Free Writing Prospectus” shall mean a “free writing prospectus” as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the 1933 Act. If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Underwriters have determined that the Time of Sale Information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the applicable Underwriters have terminated their old purchase contracts and entered into new purchase contracts with investors in the Registered Certificates, then “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information available to investors at the

(xxiv)            To the extent that the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Underwriters are to receive any notices or reports, or have any other rights thereunder, the Depositor will enforce the rights of the Underwriters under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(3)               if after the Time of Sale, notify such investor in a prominent fashion that the prior agreement to purchase Certificates has been terminated, and of the investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;

(D)             To the extent any Defective Free Writing Prospectus was defective as a result of incorrect Issuer Information being delivered to an Underwriter, the Depositor shall provide such corrected Issuer Information upon request from such Underwriter. The Depositor shall also notify the other Underwriters of such incorrect Issuer Information, to the extent it is provided notice hereunder.

 

(xiv)             Such Underwriter covenants with the Depositor that after the final Prospectus is available, such Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Registered Certificates that contains any Issuer Information to a prospective investor in a Registered Certificate unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus.

(a)               The Depositor will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement (other than by reason of Rule 429 under the 1933 Act) or any amendment or supplement to the

 

  - 23 -  

Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus relating to or affecting the Registered Certificates, unless the Depositor has furnished a copy to you for your review a reasonable time period prior to filing, and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Depositor shall cause the Prospectus to be transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act or shall cause the Prospectus to be filed with the Commission pursuant to said Rule 424. The Depositor promptly will advise you or counsel for the Underwriters (i) when the Prospectus shall have been filed or transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424, (ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for any additional information in respect of the offering contemplated hereby, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto which shall have become effective on or prior to the Closing Date or preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Depositor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registered Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose.

under which they were made, not misleading, in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus or that arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless (A) to the extent the Depositor is entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor (I) under the indemnity of any Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (II) set forth in any Indemnification Agreement, or (B) with respect to information that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information, or (C) to the extent such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information supplied by the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller to an Underwriter which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter at any time prior to the Time of Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence will apply only if such misstatement or omission was not also a misstatement or omission in the Prospectus. Furthermore, no Underwriter shall be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless the Depositor or any other person or entity otherwise entitled to such indemnification or to be held harmless under this subsection (b) for any liability that is based upon or arises from the information set forth in the first sentence of the ninth paragraph and the first sentence of the tenth paragraph under the caption “Method of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the Preliminary Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the corresponding language in the Prospectus to the extent that both (1) such information is based upon and is in conformity with the information set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus (or such amendment or supplement thereto) or the Prospectus, respectively, that is not Underwriter Information and (2) such non-Underwriter Information either contains an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or fails to comply with Regulation AB.

 

It is hereby acknowledged that the statements set forth in (i) the penultimate paragraph on the cover of the Preliminary Prospectus, (ii) the third sentence of the seventh paragraph under the caption “Important Notice Regarding the Offered Certificates” in the Preliminary Prospectus and (iii) the first and third sentences of the fourth paragraph, the first sentence of the ninth paragraph, the first sentence of the tenth paragraph and the eleventh paragraph under the caption “Method of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the Preliminary Prospectus and in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the corresponding language in the Prospectus constitute the only written information furnished to the Depositor by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

 

(c)                Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof (unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure) or any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity provided by this Section 8. Upon request

 

  - 32 -  

of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from the indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of such action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, within a reasonable period following the indemnifying party’s receiving notice of such action, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (or, in the event the Depositor or Wells Fargo Bank is the indemnifying party, one counsel for each Underwriter) (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its or their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel or any other expenses for which the indemnifying party is obligated under this subsection, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, which release does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.

 

(d)               The indemnity provided by this Section 8 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, the Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Registered Certificates.

The indemnity provided by this Section 8 will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter, the Depositor or Wells Fargo Bank may otherwise have.

(a)               In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided by Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, or if such indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is unavailable or insufficient in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by the indemnity provided by Section 8 hereof incurred by the Depositor and the Underwriters, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank on the one hand and each Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Registered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank on the one hand and of each Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations (taking into account the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission or failure to comply, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances). The relative benefits received by the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same respective portions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor from the sale of the Registered Certificates and the total underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees received by the Underwriters in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the Registered Certificates. The relative fault of the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank on the one hand and of each Underwriter on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank or by the Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and no Underwriter shall be obligated to contribute more than its share of underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees pertaining to the Registered Certificates less any damages otherwise paid by such Underwriter with respect to any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense. It is hereby acknowledged that the respective Underwriters’ obligations under this Section 9 shall be several and not joint. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and such Underwriter’s officers and directors, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Depositor, each officer of the Depositor who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls

 

  - 34 -  

the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Depositor.

 

(b)               The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the considerations referred to in subsection (a) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to in Section 8 hereof or this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal fees and disbursements or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such claim except where the indemnified party is required to bear such expenses, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent that it is reasonable to believe that the indemnifying party will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment. The remedies provided for in Section 8 hereof and this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

 

(c)               The contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, the Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Registered Certificates.

 

10.              Default by an Underwriter.

 

If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Registered Certificates agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally and not jointly (in the respective proportions which the portion of the Registered Certificates set forth below their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Registered Certificates set forth below the names of all the remaining Underwriters) to purchase the Registered Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated under this Section 10 to purchase Certificates of a Class that it is not otherwise obligated to purchase under this Agreement, and provided, however, that in the event that the amount of Registered Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Registered Certificates set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Registered Certificates, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Registered Certificates, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Depositor, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12 hereof. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date for the Registered Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding ten (10)

 

  - 35 -  

business days, as you shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Depositor and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

 

11.              Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

 

All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and shall survive delivery of the Registered Certificates to the Underwriters.

 

12.              Termination of Agreement; Survival.

 

(a)               The Underwriters may terminate their obligations under this Agreement, by notice to the Depositor, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (i) if there has been, since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank or any other Mortgage Loan Seller whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) if there has occurred any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of any Underwriter, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Registered Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Registered Certificates, (iii) if trading in any securities of the Depositor or of Wells Fargo Bank has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market or the over-the-counter market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York authorities, or (v) if a material disruption in securities settlement, payments or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred and be continuing on the Closing Date, or the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of such Underwriter, impractical to market the Registered Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Registered Certificates.

 

(b)               If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12(c) hereof.

 

  - 36 -  

(c)               The provisions of Section 5(e) hereof regarding the payment of costs and expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement, whether such termination is pursuant to this Section 12 or otherwise.

18.              Counterparts.

 

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

20.              Obligations Solely Contractual in Nature; No Fiduciary Relationship.

 

The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that the responsibility to the Depositor of the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement is solely contractual in nature and that none of the Underwriters or their affiliates will be acting in a fiduciary or advisory capacity, or will otherwise owe any fiduciary or advisory duty, to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the offering of the Registered Certificates and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

21.              Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

 

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

 

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

“Covered Party” means any party to this Agreement that is one of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b), or any subsidiary of such a covered bank to which 12 C.F.R. Part 47 applies in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

 

  - 39 -  

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

 

“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

22. Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings.

 

(a)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 21, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of December 1, 2021, among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

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

In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Exchangeable Class Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the distributions thereon shall be classified as a grantor trust (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes under Section 301.7701-4 of the income tax regulations and that the holders of the Class A-3 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-S Exchangeable Certificates, the Class B Exchangeable Certificates and the Class C Exchangeable Certificates shall be treated as owners of the Grantor Trust. Solely for tax purposes, the Class A-3 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-S Exchangeable Certificates, the Class B Exchangeable Certificates and the Class C Exchangeable Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the corresponding Exchangeable Class Specific Grantor Trust Assets. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its classification as a grantor trust beneficially owned by the holders of the Class A-3 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-S Exchangeable Certificates, the Class B Exchangeable Certificates and the Class C Exchangeable Certificates, and not be treated as part of the Trust REMICs.

The REMIC structure set forth in this Preliminary Statement is intended to cause all of the cash flow from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on the Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interests issued hereunder. To the extent that any party hereto believes the structure to diverge from such intention (without implying any duty of any such party to identify any such ambiguity), the party or parties identifying the subject defect or ambiguity in this Agreement shall notify the other parties hereto, whereupon the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to rectify or resolve the subject defect or ambiguity to accomplish the intended result without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel), including,

to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 13.01(a) of this Agreement, but subject to any conditions in Section 13.01. The other parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator in connection with any amendment to this Agreement in furtherance of the foregoing.

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

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans and will issue the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LASB, Class LA3, Class LA4, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LFRR, Class LGRR, Class LHRR, Class LJRR, Class LKRR and Class LLRR Uncertificated Interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates comprising the interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder.

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

Class Designation	Interest Rate	Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount
Class LA1	(1)	$18,512,000
Class LA2	(1)	$108,135,000
Class LASB	(1)	$28,529,000
Class LA3	(1)	$116,100,000
Class LA4	(1)	$263,816,000
Class LAS	(1)	$24,844,000
Class LB	(1)	$38,221,000
Class LC	(1)	$41,087,000
Class LD	(1)	$27,711,000
Class LE	(1)	$8,817,000
Class LFRR	(1)	$11,249,000
Class LGRR	(1)	$12,421,000
Class LHRR	(1)	$10,511,000
Class LJRR	(1)	$10,511,000
Class LKRR	(1)	$7,644,000
Class LLRR	(1)	$36,310,400
Class LR	None(2)	None(2)

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

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

 -2-

payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts shall be distributed to the holder of the Class LR Interest until all prior realized losses have been reimbursed to the holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests. Amounts, if any, the Certificate Administrator believes are otherwise distributable to the holder of the Class LR Interest shall be held in a reserve fund (which may be a subaccount of the Distribution Account) to protect the holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests against future losses except to the extent that the Certificate Administrator is required by Code Section 860G(a)(7) and Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(g) to reduce such reserve fund.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR, Class J-RR, Class K-RR and Class L-RR Certificates and the Class A-3, Class A-3-X1, Class A-3-X2, Class A-4, Class A-4-X1, Class A-4-X2, Class A-S, Class A-S-X1, Class A-S-X2, Class B, Class B-X1, Class B-X2, Class C, Class C-X1 and Class C-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests, each of which will represent a “regular interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (the “Upper-Tier Regular Interests”). Each of the Upper-Tier Regular Interests designated Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR, Class J-RR, Class K-RR and Class L-RR will be represented by a Class of Regular Certificates with the same alphanumeric designation and Pass-Through Rate, Certificate Balance or Notional Amount and entitlements as such Class of Regular Certificates. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall also issue the uncertificated Class UR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

THE UPPER-TIER REGULAR INTERESTS AND CLASS UR INTEREST

The following table (and related paragraphs) sets forth the designation, the approximate initial Pass-Through Rate and the aggregate initial principal amount (the “Original Certificate Balance”) or Notional Amount (the “Original Notional Amount”), as applicable, for each Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interests and the Class UR Interest comprising the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

 -79-

from the principal portion of future general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

“Nonrecoverable P&I Advance”: Any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) which, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, as the case may be, determines will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan), make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer, and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but shall not be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Trustee or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that any P&I Advance with respect to a related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise). In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer

 -80-

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

 -81-

recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

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

Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but, in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but shall not be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.

The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original to the Master Servicer (which letter of credit shall be titled in the name of, or assigned to, “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the registered holders of Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C61, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61”), and a copy to the Custodian or, if such original has been submitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled above) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the

 -132-

delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering with respect to any letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), one of which shall be delivered to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the related Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

(c)          Except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required at its sole cost and expense, to itself, or to engage a third party to, put each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and, individually, “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and to submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b). Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of this Section 2.01(c) and except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will itself, or a third party at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense will, promptly (and in any event within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each Assignment. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a file copy thereof in the case of a UCC Assignment) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage File and be deemed a part thereof, and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee

 -133-

shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the expenses for the preparation of replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause (iii) or (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” or to file any UCC-3 to the Trustee referred to in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, such recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.

(d)         All documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to the Mortgage Loans (including, in each case, financial statements, operating statements and any other information provided by the respective Mortgagor from time to time, but excluding the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney-client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data) that (i) are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof and (ii) are reasonably necessary for the servicing of each such Mortgage Loan, together with copies of all documents in each Mortgage File, shall be delivered by the Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date (except that copies of any instruments of assignment that are returned to the Custodian by the related public recording office in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(c) shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Master Servicer when the originals are returned to the Custodian) and shall be held by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holder; provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that some or all of the items in this Section 2.01(d) have, as of the Closing Date, been posted to websites to which various parties to this Agreement have

 -134-

access, and if any such items have been so posted to any such website(s) to which the Master Servicer has access, such items will be deemed to have been delivered to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.01(d); and provided, further, that if the Master Servicer is unable to download such items from such website(s) after making reasonable efforts to do so and provides notice (which may be delivered by electronic means) to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor shall cause such Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver such items to the Master Servicer by such means as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer. Such documents and records shall be any documents and records (with the exception of any items excluded under the immediately preceding sentence) that would otherwise be a part of the Servicing File.

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

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

(g)          With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 25 and 30 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the respective Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor (with a copy of such notice or request to the Master Servicer) within forty five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter). If the Master Servicer is unable to acquire any such replacement comfort letter (or new document or acknowledgement, as applicable) within 120 days of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller that no such replacement comfort letter has been received.

(h)          Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall provide that within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Diligence Files for each of its Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence Files to the Designated Site. Promptly upon completion of such delivery of the Diligence Files (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the applicable Mortgage Loan

(j)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01 or in Section 2.02, in connection with each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, (1) instruments of assignment to the Trustee may be in blank and need not be recorded pursuant to this Agreement (other than the endorsements to the note(s) evidencing the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) until the earlier of (i) the Servicing Shift Date, in which case such instruments shall be assigned and recorded in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, (ii) the Servicing Shift Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Servicing Shift Date and (iii) 180 days after the Closing Date, in which case assignments and recordations shall be effected in accordance with this Section 2.01 until the occurrence, if any, of the Servicing Shift Date, (2) no letter of credit need be amended (including, without limitation, to change the beneficiary thereon) until the earliest of (i) the Servicing Shift Date, in which case such amendment shall be in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, (ii) the Servicing Shift Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Servicing Shift Date in which case such amendment shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.01 and (iii) the earlier of (A) 180 days after the Closing Date and (B) any such time as any such letter of credit is required to be drawn upon by the Master Servicer in which case such amendment shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.01, and (3) on and following the Servicing Shift Date, the Person selling the related Servicing Shift Control Note to the related Non-Serviced Depositor, at its own expense, shall be (a) entitled to direct in writing, which may be conclusively relied upon by the Custodian, the Custodian to deliver the originals of all the Mortgage Loan documents relating to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan in its possession (other than the original note(s) evidencing the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee or the related Non-Serviced Custodian, (b) if the right under clause (a) is exercised, required to cause the retention by or delivery to the Custodian of photocopies of Mortgage Loan documents related to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan so delivered to such Non-Serviced Trustee or such Non-Serviced Custodian, (c) entitled to cause the completion (or, in the event of a recordation as contemplated by clause (1)(ii) of this paragraph, the preparation, execution and delivery) and recordation of instruments of assignment in the name of the related Non-Serviced Trustee or related Non-Serviced Custodian, (d) if the right under clause (c) is exercised, required to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian photocopies of any instruments of assignment so completed and recorded, and (e) entitled to require the Master Servicer to transfer, and to cooperate with all reasonable requests in connection with the transfer of, the Servicing File, and any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and items specified in clauses (x)

and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” for the Servicing Shift Whole Loan to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer.

Section 2.02        Acceptance by Trustee. (a)  The Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement (1) acknowledges receipt by it or the Custodian on its behalf, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, of the applicable documents specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” with respect to each Mortgage Loan (or electronically recorded copies thereof) and of all other assets included in the Trust Fund and (2) declares (a) that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers that constitute the Mortgage Files in the name of the Trust for the benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Noteholders, as applicable, and (b) that it holds and will hold such other assets included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders (and for the benefit of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), as applicable. If any Mortgage Loan Seller is unable to deliver or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note, such Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a signed lost note affidavit and appropriate indemnity and shall thereby be deemed to have satisfied the document delivery requirements of Section 2.01 and of this Section 2.02.

(b)          Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days after the Payment Due Date in the month of substitution), the Custodian, shall review the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files; and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and only with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded DCH Loan), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full)) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) subject to the first proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and to relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iii), (vii) and (viii) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct. With respect to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Custodial Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan together with the nature of such exception (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for filing or recording and have not been returned by the filing office or the recorder’s office).

 -137-

(c)           The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) or any related Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing) that, (i) subject to the first proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and relate to such Mortgage Loan, if applicable, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iii), (vii) and (viii) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Material Defect in any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the Master Servicer an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such Material Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b)

 -138-

and Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b). All such funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.

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

 -139-

Statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.

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

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

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

A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) is so provided only to assist the Mortgage Loan Sellers and

 -140-

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

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a ‘15Ga-1 Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C61, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

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

In the event that a Mortgage Loan is repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor of such repurchase or replacement.

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

(i)          The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of North Carolina, and the Depositor has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this

 -141-

Agreement by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the power and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement;

(ii)         Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each other party hereto, this Agreement and all of the obligations of the Depositor hereunder are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

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

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

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

(b)         After receipt of a Repurchase Request, the Enforcing Servicer shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of such Repurchase Request or, if earlier, such Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, the earlier of (x) discovery by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to this Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding

 -142-

any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the related Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date for so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Directing Certificateholder (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that such Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a Qualified Mortgage shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price

 -143-

remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account.

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, in either case, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, any “Defect” (or analogous term) under the related Non-Serviced PSA shall constitute a Material Defect under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the extent the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Defect related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer to the extent not previously paid by the

 -144-

Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If the related Mortgage Loan Seller elects to cure such Breach, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent that any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Payment Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Payment Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer (or by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer who shall remit such funds) to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Article II if (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement) prevented the Mortgage Loan Seller from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

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

 -145-

such release in lieu of repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, (B) result in the disqualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, or (C) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

The parties acknowledge that certain Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements may provide for an Additional Repurchase Obligor that is required to perform the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller described in this Section 2.03(b) or a guarantor of such obligations, in each case, to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(c)                Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following shall cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed to have a Material Defect: (i) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (ii) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (iii) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”; (iv) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (v) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; or (vi) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects previously described in sub-clauses (ii) through (vi) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation; provided, further, that no Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in sub-clauses (ii) through (vi) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in

 -146-

clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5(a) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01.

(d)               In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the same manner as provided in Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, so as to vest in such Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(e)                Section 5 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders (subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Material Defect; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to take any action against (i) BSPRT, to the extent provided for pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 19 and 20 thereof or (ii) LC Holdings, LC REIT or LC TRS, to the extent provided for pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 19 thereof or (iii) OCMF, to the extent provided for pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 19 and 20 thereof.

(f)                The Enforcing Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in the best interest of the Certificateholders in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any

 -147-

costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall, to the extent not recovered from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or the Requesting Certificateholder, be deemed to be Servicing Advances to the extent not otherwise provided for herein. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(viii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account. Any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees related to a repurchase of a Companion Loan shall be paid pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or pursuant to the documents related to an Other Securitization, if applicable.

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

(h)               If (i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this Section 2.03 and (ii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Underlying Loan(s) in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in Section 2.03(b) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event

 -148-

that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan(s) as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated among the related Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Except as provided in this Section 2.03(h) and Section 2.03(i), all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.

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

(j)                 With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required or elects to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(h) or Section 2.03(i) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, will, as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.

(k)               (i)  In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to this Agreement that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”),

 -149-

such party shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Enforcing Servicer shall then promptly forward the Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to a Certificateholder Repurchase Request.

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

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

(iv)          Within two (2) Business Days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request made by any Person other than the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Special Servicer, indicating the Master Servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such Repurchase Request. The Master Servicer shall also deliver to the Special Servicer the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder to the extent set forth in this Agreement for such Non-Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such Servicing File and other material, the Special Servicer shall become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such Repurchase Request.

(l)            (i)  After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting

 -150-

Certificateholder, a party to this Agreement or the Directing Certificateholder), and if applicable, after the Master Servicer sends the Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice, the Enforcing Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, at the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com), indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (a “Proposed Course of Action”). The Certificate Administrator will be required to make the Proposed Course of Action Notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Proposed Course of Action Notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate to the Enforcing Servicer their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action, by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such 30-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that if any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer shall be compelled to follow (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth below relating to the delivery of Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices (c) a statement that the responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for the responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received and clearly indicating agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from the Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(l) shall be limited solely to tabulating the Certificateholders’ responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation shall not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation of the responses of the responding Certificateholders. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not

 -151-

agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration. In the event (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicated a recommendation to undertake mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration, (b) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner entitled to do so delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and (c) the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicating a recommendation to undertake mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration, such additional responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners will also be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority of responding Certificateholders.

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

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

(iv)         If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the

 -152-

Enforcing Servicer, then the Enforcing Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and will remain obligated under this Agreement to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the rights of the Trust with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

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

(vi)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) shall not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

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

(viii)       For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan or any of their respective affiliates (other than the Special Servicer or a Controlling Class Certificateholder) shall be entitled to be an

 -153-

Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder or to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such affiliate(s) with respect to a course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described herein.

(ix)          Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.03(l), the Requesting Certificateholder is entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration in its sole discretion; however, the Requesting Certificateholder shall not be entitled to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful.

(m)         If the Enforcing Party selects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration), the following provisions shall apply:

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

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

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

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

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

(vi)         Out of pocket costs and expenses of the Special Servicer for mediation or arbitration, to the extent not agreed to be paid by the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of mediation) or allocated to the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of arbitration) shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.

 -154-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(b)               Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08) and of the respective Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to Section 3.20, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable.

The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall provide to the Mortgagor related to such Mortgage Loans that it is servicing any reports required to be provided to them pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) on the Closing Date, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

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

 -162-

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

(d)               The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

(e)                The Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents or any related Companion Loan documents, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.

(f)                Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, (x) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled in Section 2.01(b)) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit and (y) the Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has notified the provider of such letter of credit pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller

 -163-

shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

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

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

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

(j)                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being acknowledged that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party); provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation and of enforcement of such indemnity, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while the related Serviced Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer

 -164-

part of the Trust Fund shall be payable out of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after the date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so long as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) has not been entered into, the Master Servicer shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Servicing Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in the case of a Servicing Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder.

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

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

(m)             Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan are limited by, and subject to, the terms of the related

 -165-

Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the benefits of the rights of the Trust (as holder of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

(n)               In connection with the securitization of any Serviced Companion Loan (in each case, only while it is a Serviced Companion Loan), upon the request of (and at the expense of) a related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its designee), each of the Master Servicer (if such Serviced Companion Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan), the Special Servicer (if such Serviced Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan) and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Serviced Companion Noteholder in attempting to cause the related Mortgagor to provide information relating to such Whole Loan and the related notes, and that such holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to such Other Securitization.

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

(p)               Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from or otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Mortgagor as though the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the Servicing Standard.

Section 3.02        Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard); provided, that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that it is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any

 -166-

delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Certificateholder; provided, further, that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights with respect to the foregoing waivers in relation to any Excluded DCH Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the right to waive any Penalty Charge shall be provided to both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer individually and not cumulatively (in total).

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

first, as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to such Mortgage Loan and unpaid interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid additional trust fund expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees previously paid by the Trust from general collections);

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

fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts but for such P&I Advance not having been made as a result of a determination that such P&I Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Advance and (B) any unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest) that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (in each case, to the extent collections have not been allocated as recovery of such accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause fifth on earlier dates);

sixth, as a recovery of amounts to be currently allocated to the payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and similar items relating to such Mortgage Loan;

twelfth, as a recovery of any remaining principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance;

provided that to the extent required under the REMIC Provisions, payments or proceeds received (or receivable by exercise of the lender’s rights under the related Mortgage Loan documents) with respect to any partial release of a Mortgaged Property (including in connection with a condemnation) at a time when the loan-to-value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, exceeds 125%, or would exceed 125% following any partial release (based solely on the value of real property and excluding personal property and going concern value, if any, unless otherwise permitted under the applicable REMIC Provisions as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee) must be collected and allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in the manner required by the REMIC Provisions; provided, further, that if a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan comprising a Non-Serviced Whole Loan become REO Loans, the treatment of the foregoing amounts with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA, in that order; provided, further, that with respect to each Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan, amounts collected with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan shall be allocated first pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and then, any amounts allocated to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be subject to application as described above.

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

second, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest on those Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, to the extent previously paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (as described in the first proviso in the definition of Principal Distribution Amount);

 -169-

third, to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause first or second above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the excess of (i)  accrued and unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest) on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause fifth below or clause fifth of the prior paragraph on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in sub-clause (i) of this clause third that either (A)(x) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (y) with respect to any accrued and unpaid interest that was not advanced due to a determination that the related P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the amount of interest that (absent such determination of nonrecoverability preventing such P&I Advance from being made) would not have been advanced because of the reductions in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, or (B) accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;

fourth, to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause first or second above, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance;

fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts but for such P&I Advance not having been made as a result of a determination that such P&I Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Advance and (B) any unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest) that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (in each case, to the extent collections have not been allocated as recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause fifth or clause fifth of the prior paragraph on earlier dates);

sixth, as a recovery of any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan;

seventh, as a recovery of any late payment charges and default interest then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan;

 -170-

Consulting Fees are due and owing, first, allocated to consent fees and then, allocated to Operating Advisor Consulting Fees);

provided that if a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan comprising a Non-Serviced Whole Loan becomes an REO Loan, the treatment of the foregoing amounts with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA, in that order; provided, further, that with respect to each Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan, amounts collected with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan shall be allocated first pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and then, any amounts allocated to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be subject to application as described above.

(iii)                Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, such provisions shall not be deemed to affect the priority of distributions of payments pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that such amounts are paid by a party other than a Mortgagor, such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of a purchase of all or part of the Mortgaged Property (in the case of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) and then paid by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, or in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

(c)                To the extent consistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the related Intercreditor Agreement) and applicable law, the Master Servicer shall apply all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds it receives on a day other than the Payment Due Date to amounts due and owing under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan as if such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received on the Payment Due Date immediately succeeding the month in which Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

(d)               [Reserved.]

(e)                With respect to any Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which the related Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter of credit related to obtaining certain performance objectives, such as targeted debt service coverage levels or leasing criteria with respect to the Mortgaged Property as a whole or particular portions thereof, if the mortgagee has the discretion under the applicable Mortgage Loan documents to retain the cash or letter of credit (or the proceeds of such letters of credit) as additional collateral if the relevant conditions to release are not satisfied, then the Master Servicer may continue to hold such escrows or letters of credit (or the proceeds of such letters of credit) as additional collateral or use such funds to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (to the extent the related Mortgage Loan documents allow such action), unless holding or application of such funds would otherwise be inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan documents or the Servicing Standard.

(f)                Promptly following the Closing Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan and, with respect to the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, promptly following receipt of notice in connection with the Servicing Shift Date, the Certificate Administrator shall send

 -171-

written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer (with a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating that, as of such date, the Trustee is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property.

Section 3.03        Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts. (a)  The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments received by it shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholders collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify the respective interests of any noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion Loan documents, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

(b)               The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other related Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each related Serviced

 -172-

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

(c)                In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid and (ii) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis

 -173-

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

Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, but such determination shall not be binding upon the Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that

 -174-

only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Other Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans, related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Companion Holders), all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans). The Master Servicer or the Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make servicing advances with respect to the related Non-

Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for nonrecoverable servicing advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

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

(e)                To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent that any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the date as of which actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

 -177-

to instead immediately pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto; provided that such amounts shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be reported as if deposited in the Collection Account and then withdrawn.

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

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

Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer shall remit within two (2) Business Days following receipt of available and properly identified funds such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, in accordance with this Section 3.04(a).

The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor of the new location of the Collection Account prior to any change thereof.

(b)               The Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall establish and maintain (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator each month on or before the P&I Advance Date therein, for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, that portion of the Available Funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans (in each case calculated without regard to clauses (a)(iii)(B), (a)(iv), (c) and (d) of the definition of Available Funds) for the related Distribution Date.

With respect to each Companion Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Companion Loan), the Companion Paying Agent shall establish and maintain the Companion Distribution Account, which may be a subaccount of the Collection Account, for distributions to each Companion Holder. Funds in the Companion Distribution Account shall be held for the benefit of

 -178-

On each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, (1) first, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account (or applicable portion thereof) an aggregate amount equal to all payments and/or collections actually received on, and payable in respect of, the applicable Serviced Companion Loan prior to such date and deposit such amount in the Companion Distribution Account; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to transfer to the Companion Distribution Account any portion thereof that is payable or reimbursable to or at the direction of any party to this Agreement under the other provisions of this Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement; and (2) then, the Companion Paying Agent shall make the payments and remittance described in Section 4.01(l). With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, in the event the Master Servicer has received written notice that an Other Servicer or Other Trustee has made an advance of a monthly debt service payment on a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and the Master Servicer subsequently receives late collections in respect of such advanced payment, the Master Servicer shall remit to the applicable Other Servicer or Other Trustee, within two (2) Business Days following receipt of such late collections in properly identified funds, the amount allocable to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement.

The Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account, may be subaccounts of a single Eligible Account, which shall be maintained as a segregated account separate from other accounts.

The Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account any and all amounts received by the Certificate Administrator that are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited therein.

Promptly on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to withdraw from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges for such Distribution Date allocated in payment of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(c) and Section 4.01(e), respectively.

Funds on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account shall not be invested for so long as Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, that such funds may be invested and, if invested, shall be invested by, and at the risk of, the Certificate Administrator (but only if the Certificate Administrator is not Computershare Trust Company, N.A.) in Permitted Investments selected by the party hereunder that maintains such account which shall mature, unless payable on demand, not later than such time on the Distribution Date which will allow the Certificate Administrator to make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, and any such Permitted Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity unless payable on demand.

None of the Trust, the Depositor, the Mortgagors, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any loss incurred on such Permitted Investments.

An amount equal to all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be paid to the Certificate Administrator as additional compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any

 -180-

such investments shall be for the account of the Certificate Administrator which shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, out of its own funds immediately as realized. If the Certificate Administrator deposits in or transfers to the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, any amount not required to be deposited therein or transferred thereto, it may at any time withdraw such amount or retransfer such amount from the Distribution Accounts, as the case may be, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit $250,000 with the Certificate Administrator, to be credited to the Legal Fee Reserve Account.

Any such instruction shall be sent by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com, along with a copy of the invoice, and a subject line reference of “WFCM 2021-C61 - Legal Fee Reserve Account”. The Legal Fee Reserve Account will not be a part of the Trust Fund, the Trust REMICs or the Grantor Trust. The Depositor will be the beneficial owner of the Legal Fee Reserve Account for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned therefrom.

Upon the depletion of the Legal Fee Reserve Account, or if there are insufficient funds to pay any invoice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Depositor, and thereafter the Depositor shall pay any additional legal invoices from its own funds and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility in connection therewith.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility for verifying the accuracy, reasonableness, or appropriateness of any invoice received. On the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Depositor any funds then remaining in the Legal Fee Reserve Account in accordance with directions provided by the Depositor.

As of the Closing Date, the Interest Reserve Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, and the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account shall be located at the offices of the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall give notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor of the proposed location of the Interest Reserve Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, and, if established, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account prior to any change thereof.

Furthermore, for all federal tax purposes, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) treat amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders as paid to and distributed by the Trust REMICs and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Mortgage Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust to such Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.

Default (as determined by the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) (i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (or, in each case, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder)), and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless the Special Servicer determines ((i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (or, in each case, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder)), that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or

 -196-

amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other than REO Properties and other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

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

 -197-

such insurance to be maintained. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Special Servicer, at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of the Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of any Companion Loan, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

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

(ii)                If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single interest or force-placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer naming the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss payee, then to the extent such Insurance Policy

 -198-

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

(c)                Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors or omissions. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions insurance policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

(d)               At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal

 -199-

balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.

(e)                During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party and any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period)), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

(f)                Each of the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

(g)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.07, so long as the long-term debt obligations or the deposit account or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A3” by Moody’s or “A-” by Fitch (if rated by Fitch), the Master Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligations under this Section 3.07.

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

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

 -200-

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

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter is a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof) or the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter is a Major Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that (i) other than with respect to a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof, (A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded DCH Loan, no Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the matter involves a Major Decision, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder shall have been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded DCH Loan, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a), (C) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Operating Advisor if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (D) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period, the prior consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder to the extent required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (provided that, in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C), such consent shall be deemed given or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation, as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Special Servicer’s written recommendation, which may be in the form of an Asset Status Report, and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $35,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregated Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (z) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (y) and (z) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least

 -201-

$10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee, provided that certain conditions contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied.

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

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

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

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and as to which such matter is a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof) or the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter is a Major Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent

 -202-

to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that (i) other than with respect to a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof, (A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded DCH Loan, no Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the matter involves a Major Decision, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder shall have been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded DCH Loan, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a), (C) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Operating Advisor if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (D) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period, the prior consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder to the extent required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (provided that in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C) such consent shall be deemed given or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation, as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Special Servicer’s written recommendation, which may be in the form of an Asset Status Report, and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has obtained Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) if such Mortgage Loan (A) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the Stated Principal Balance of the outstanding Mortgage Loans or (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) or (C) has a debt service coverage ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) or (D) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (E) has a Stated Principal Balance greater than $35,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies)

 -203-

pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph or in Section 3.08(a) shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

If any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee, provided that certain conditions contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied.

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in Section 3.08(a) or this Section 3.08(b) that constitutes a consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan and other than any transfers or assumptions provided for in clause (xiii) of the definition of Master Servicer Decision and other than any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) or clause (xiv) of the definition thereof, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer will be required to process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and except as provided in the next sentence, the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance. The Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the Special Servicer by delivering to the Special Servicer any additional information in the Master Servicer’s possession requested by the Special Servicer relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any request relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause (other than any transfers or assumptions provided for in clause (xiii) of the definition of Master Servicer Decision and other than any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) or clause (xiv) of the definition thereof) and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any such request.

(c)                Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or

 -204-

other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(d)               Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.25) and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

(e)                [RESERVED].

(f)                For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause other than in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) through (d) hereof. In the case of the Special Servicer, no such waiver or consent shall be made without (x) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained if and to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under Section 6.08(a), (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, consultation with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (z) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, consultation with the Operating Advisor if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a).

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

Section 3.09        Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a)  Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such

 -205-

notice to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholder’s and the Operating Advisor’s respective rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

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

(i)                such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or

(ii)                the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

 -206-

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

(i)                such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

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

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

 -207-

environmental insurance policy in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee to receive the maximum proceeds available under such policy for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests).

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

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

 -208-

applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

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

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

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

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

 -209-

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

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

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

Section 3.11        Servicing Compensation. (a)  As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA). As to each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case

 -210-

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

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

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor: (i) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that are Master Servicer Decisions; provided that if any such matter involves a Major Decision (other than with respect to a Payment Accommodation) regardless of who processes, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such Excess Modification Fees (and with respect to a Payment Accommodation, the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any COVID Forbearance Fees), (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received on any Non-Specially Serviced Loans for which the Master Servicer is processing the underlying assumption-related transaction (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that are Master Servicer Decisions and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement); and (iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees) pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) relating to Master Servicer Decisions; provided that if any such matter involves a Major Decision regardless of who

 -211-

processes, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees, and only to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan have been paid. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Specially Serviced Loan) any charges for beneficiary statements and demand charges actually paid by the related Mortgagors to the extent such beneficiary statements or demand charges were prepared by the Master Servicer, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds with respect to the accounts held by the Master Servicer and reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, in each case only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in its Servicing Accounts which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excesses and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

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

 -212-

A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to which the Master Servicer acts as Enforcing Servicer and obtains (i) any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or (ii) Loss of Value Payments (including with respect to any related Companion Loan, if applicable).

(b)               As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property). As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. For the sake of clarity, nothing herein is intended to limit the Special Servicer’s right to share a portion of such compensation with the Directing Certificateholder after it is received nor to imply that there may not be more than one Special Servicer appointed under this Agreement; provided that no one Mortgage Loan may be serviced by more than one Special Servicer at any time. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(c)                Additional servicing compensation in the following form shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by a Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a): (i) 100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of COVID Forbearance Fees related to any Payment Accommodation and 100% of assumption fees and other similar fees received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items on any Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of assumption application fees and other similar items on any Non-Specially Serviced Loans for which the Special Servicer is processing the underlying assumption-related transaction that is a Major Decision, (iii) 100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees, pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Specially Serviced Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor on Specially Serviced Loans, (iv) 50% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan to the extent the matter involves a Major Decision (other than with respect to a Payment Accommodation) and (v) 50% of all assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees received with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan to the extent that the matter involves a Major Decision (other than with respect to a Payment Accommodation). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to

 -213-

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

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

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any fee split (other than a fee split with respect to Penalty Charges) between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however that (x) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee will not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Special Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any percentage interest of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. Similarly, if the Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the Master Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Special Servicer had charged a fee and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any percentage interest of such fee charged by the Master Servicer.

(d)               In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and

 -215-

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

If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as the Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and

 -216-

obligations. If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the applicable Servicing Shift Date, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as the Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer were replacing the Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

(e)                With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Day following the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the related Remittance Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML, Word or Excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date; provided that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

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

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

Section 3.12        Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements; Delivery of Reports. (a)  The Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (i) $2,000,000 or more at least once every twelve (12) months and (ii) less than $2,000,000 at least once every twenty-four (24) months, in each case, commencing in the calendar year 2023 (and each Mortgaged Property shall be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2024); provided, however, that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform, or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further,

 -217-

that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan. The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, in the case of such reimbursement relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, such reimbursement shall be made, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, first, from any related AB Subordinate Companion Loan (if any) and then, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in accordance with their respective outstanding principal balances (provided that, with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise modify the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which any amounts collected with respect to the related Whole Loan are allocated to the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans and the AB Subordinate Companion Loan), in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections. The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy at the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report has knowledge of and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, deems material, (iv) any visible material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection and (v) photographs of each inspected Mortgaged Property. The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall promptly following preparation deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, respectively, to the other party, to the Directing Certificateholder ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan). Within five (5) Business Days after request for copies of such reports by the Rating Agencies, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable, to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for review by NRSROs (including Rating Agencies) that are Privileged Persons. In respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Master Servicer shall deliver or make available a copy of each such report to the Directing Certificateholder and upon request to each Controlling Class Certificateholder (which request may state that such items may be delivered until further notice).

(b)               The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, shall make reasonable efforts to

 -218-

collect promptly and review from each related Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and the quarterly and annual financial statements of such Mortgagor commencing with the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2022 and the calendar year ending on December 31, 2022, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and any other reports or documents required to be delivered under the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and each Serviced Companion Loan), if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be required to request such operating statements or rent rolls more than once if the related Mortgagor is not required to deliver such statements pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. In addition, the Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall deliver all such items to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days of receipt, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or make available copies of all the foregoing items so collected to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the Depositor, in electronic format, in each case within sixty (60) days of its receipt thereof, but in no event, in the case of annual statements, later than June 30 of each year, commencing in 2023 for the 2022 calendar year. Upon the request of any Privileged Person (other than the NRSROs) to receive copies of such items, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver or make available electronic copies of such items to the Certificate Administrator to be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Upon the request of any NRSRO to receive copies of any portion of such items, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or make available additional copies of the requested items so collected thereby to the 17g-5 Information Provider pursuant to Section 3.13(c).

Furthermore, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (and each Serviced Companion Loan), if the related Mortgage Loan documents provide for the annual or quarterly testing of financial conditions of the related Mortgagor and/or Mortgaged Property (e.g. debt yield tests, debt service coverage ratio tests and/or loan-to-value ratio tests) in connection with cash management triggers or the commencement of additional required Escrow Payments, the Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, as applicable (only to the extent the related information required for such testing is to be delivered to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and is actually delivered to either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer), shall use reasonable efforts to conduct such financial testing within the timeframes contemplated by such Mortgage Loan documents. Furthermore, in accordance with this Section 3.12(b), with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to collect financial statements from the related Mortgagor for the periods set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents.

In addition, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties), as applicable, shall prepare with respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and REO Property:

 -219-

(i)                Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a quarterly operating statement, if any, commencing within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such quarterly operating statement for the quarter ending March 31, 2022, a CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report (but only to the extent the related Mortgagor is required by the related Mortgage Loan documents to deliver and does deliver, or otherwise agrees to provide and does provide, such information) for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property as of the end of that calendar quarter, provided, however, that any analysis or report with respect to the first calendar quarter of each year will not be required to the extent provided in the then current applicable CREFC^® guidelines (it being understood that as of the Closing Date, the applicable CREFC^® guidelines provide that such analysis or report with respect to the first calendar quarter (in each year) is not required for a Mortgaged Property or REO Property unless such Mortgaged Property or REO Property is analyzed on a trailing 12 month basis, or if the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is on the CREFC^® Servicer Watch List). Promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer (in electronic format) each CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, along with the related operating statements. The Master Servicer shall deliver or make available copies (in electronic format) of each CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and, upon request, the related operating statements (in each case, promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof) to the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the related Companion Holder (with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan).

(ii)                Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an annual operating statement or rent rolls (if and to the extent that any such information is in the form of normalized year-end financial statements that have been based on a minimum number of months of operating results as recommended by CREFC^® in the instructions to the CREFC^® guidelines) for each calendar year commencing within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such annual operating statement for the calendar year ending December 31, 2022, a CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet (but only to the extent the related Mortgagor is required by the related Mortgage Loan documents to deliver and does deliver, or otherwise agrees to provide and does provide, such information), presenting the computation to “normalize” the full year net operating income and debt service coverage numbers used by the Master Servicer in preparing the CREFC^® Comparative Financial Status Report. Promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof, the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) shall deliver the CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deliver or make available copies (in electronic format) of each CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet and, upon request, the related operating statements or rent rolls (in each case, promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof) to the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Holder (with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan) and, upon request, the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post all such items to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.

(c)                At or before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer and,

 -220-

prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File and any applicable CREFC^® Loan Liquidation Reports, CREFC^® Loan Modification Reports and CREFC^® REO Liquidation Reports with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans (excluding, for the Directing Certificateholder, any Excluded Loans) and any REO Properties (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), providing the information required of the Special Servicer in an electronic format, reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the Business Day preceding such Determination Date, which CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File shall include data, to enable the Master Servicer to produce the following supplemental CREFC^® reports: (i) a CREFC^® Delinquent Loan Status Report, (ii) a CREFC^® Historical Loan Modification/Forbearance and Corrected Mortgage Loan Report, (iii) a CREFC^® REO Status Report, (iv) a CREFC^® Comparative Financial Status Report and (v) a CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet and a CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report, in each case with the supporting financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls submitted by the Mortgagor.

(d)               Not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each P&I Advance Date beginning January 2022, the Master Servicer shall prepare (if and to the extent necessary) and deliver or cause to be delivered in electronic format to the Certificate Administrator the following reports and data files with respect to the Mortgage Loans: (A) to the extent the Master Servicer has received the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File at the time required, the most recent CREFC^® Delinquent Loan Status Report, CREFC^® Historical Loan Modification/Forbearance and Corrected Mortgage Loan Report and the CREFC^® REO Status Report, (B) CREFC^® Loan Setup File (only with respect to the first Distribution Date), (C) the most recent CREFC^® Property File, and CREFC^® Comparative Financial Status Report (in each case incorporating the data required to be included in the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File pursuant to Section 3.12(c) by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer), (D) a CREFC^® Servicer Watch List with information that is current as of such Determination Date, (E) CREFC^® Financial File, (F) CREFC^® Loan Level Reserve/LOC Report, (G) the CREFC^® Advance Recovery Report, (H) CREFC^® Total Loan Report and (I) the report on Disclosable Special Servicer Fees delivered pursuant to Section 3.11(e) to the extent received from the Special Servicer, if any. Additionally, not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the P&I Advance Date beginning January 2022, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered in electronic format to the Certificate Administrator any applicable CREFC^® Loan Liquidation Reports, CREFC^® Loan Modification Reports and CREFC^® REO Liquidation Reports received from the Special Servicer. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date beginning January 2022, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via electronic format the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File and, to the extent received by the Master Servicer, the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template, if provided for such Distribution Date. In no event shall any report described in this subsection be required to reflect information that has not been collected by or delivered to the Master Servicer, or any payments or collections not received by the Master Servicer, as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which the report is due.

Not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each P&I Advance Date, beginning in January 2022, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator the CREFC^® Schedule AL File in EDGAR Compatible Format provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to prepare or deliver the CREFC^® Schedule AL File unless the

 -221-

Depositor has delivered the items required pursuant to Section 2.01(i). If the Certificate Administrator does not receive such CREFC^® Schedule AL File from the Master Servicer by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the P&I Advance Date, it shall immediately request such CREFC^® Schedule AL File from the Master Servicer via email at ssreports@wellsfargo.com and send a copy of such request to the Depositor via email to CRRCompliance@wellsfargo.com. In preparing the CREFC^® Schedule AL File and any Schedule AL Additional File for any given Distribution Date, and without any due diligence, investigation or verification, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely, absent manifest error, on the content, completeness, accuracy and compliance with any applicable requirements of Items 1111(h) and 1125 of Regulation AB and Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act as in effect on the Closing Date of the Initial Schedule AL File, any Initial Schedule AL Additional File and Annex A-1 to the Prospectus. The Master Servicer may concurrently with the delivery of the related CREFC^® Schedule AL File, deliver any related Schedule AL Additional File in EDGAR Compatible Format. The CREFC^® Schedule AL File and the Schedule AL Additional File shall each be a single file. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be required to combine multiple CREFC^® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files unless, solely with respect to the Master Servicer, multiple Sub-Servicers prepare and submit such CREFC^® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files to the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to review, redact, reconcile, edit or verify the content, completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any CREFC^® Schedule AL File or Schedule AL Additional File. The Certificate Administrator shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the contents of any CREFC^® Schedule AL File or Schedule AL Additional File solely by its receipt thereof.

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

(e)                The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the reports and information required of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(e), Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c), and the Master Servicer shall deliver or make available to the Certificate Administrator the reports and data files set forth in Section 3.12(d). The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(e), Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c). The Certificate Administrator may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(d), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn, based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(e), Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) and to the extent that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(e), Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports to the Certificate Administrator until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(d) caused by the

 -222-

Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.11(e), Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement.

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

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

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

Section 3.13        Access to Certain Information. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Mortgage Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder, and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by applicable law. At the election of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Certificateholder and the Trustee and the

 -223-

Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders, as applicable) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.

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

Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in the next succeeding paragraph, but subject to the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder (or with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan related to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may provide (or make available electronically) or make available at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as the case may be) obtained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, generally

 -224-

to the effect that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (other than as permitted in the preceding paragraph with respect to any Certificateholder or as specifically provided for herein with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder (except, with respect to a Mortgage Loan Seller, to the extent necessary for such party to comply with its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and except for the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, acting in such capacities) or beneficial owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Excluded Information shall be made available under a separate tab or heading designated “Excluded Information” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (and not under any of the tabs or headings described in items (i) through (vii) above) and made available to Privileged Persons other than any Excluded Controlling Class Holder that is a Borrower Party (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)).

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

 -229-

the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s). In the event the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such party shall promptly notify each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E that such party has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F listing each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder and directing the Certificate Administrator to restrict such Excluded Controlling Class Holder’s access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

With respect to any Excluded Information sent for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall mark or label such information as “Excluded Information” prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and, if possible at a later time, on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Certificateholder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or disclosure of any information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including any related Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.33.

 -230-

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that it is not or is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (D) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

In the case of a licensed or registered investment advisor acting on behalf of a current or prospective Certificateholder, the Investor Certification shall be executed and delivered by both the investment advisor and such current or prospective Certificateholder.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for its dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement or by others in violation of the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible or have any liability for the completeness or accuracy of the information delivered, produced or

 -235-

otherwise made available pursuant to this Section 3.13 unless such information was produced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.

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

(h)               Without limiting the Operating Advisor’s consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.08, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Operating Advisor prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, Final Asset Status Reports and approved or deemed approved Major Decision Reporting Packages (only with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans) and after an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, Asset Status Reports and Major Decision Reporting Packages. In addition, the Special Servicer, subject to the limitations on delivery of Privileged Communications, shall provide to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Directing Certificateholder (other than, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Reports that are not Final Asset Status Reports), or Certificateholders generally, requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

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

 -236-

(unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.13(i).

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

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

(b)               The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds, all REO

 -237-

Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.

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

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

Section 3.15        Management of REO Property. (a)  If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect, operate and lease such REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holders, as applicable, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard).

 -238-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s) on a net after-tax basis as compared with net leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a different basis. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such properly identified funds) in the applicable REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:

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

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

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

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

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event)) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.

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

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

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

(iii)                authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on

 -239-

the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

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

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

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

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

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

(iii)                any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;

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

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

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

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

 -240-

Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.15(a) and Section 3.15(b).

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

(ii)                If any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(iii)                If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, or if the related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing

 -241-

and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (and provided that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation fee), the Special Servicer will be entitled to the liquidation fee that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer would have otherwise been entitled to in connection with the sale of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan and only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the related Subordinate Companion Holder (with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, but only prior to the occurrence of an AB Control Appraisal Period) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan.

(iv)                (A)  In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall solicit offers and, subject to sub-clause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Loan, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror), the Trustee shall determine whether the offer constitutes a fair price unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (x) it is the highest offer received and (y) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee must (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at

 -242-

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

(B)              The Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holders constituted a single lender). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer from any Person other than an Affiliate of the Special Servicer if it determines, in its reasonable judgment consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

(C)              In connection with any such sale involving a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall have the right (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement), but not the obligation (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement), to sell the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan if such Special Servicer

 -243-

determines that such sale is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (taking into account the subordinate nature of the applicable AB Subordinate Companion Loan).

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

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

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

(C)              The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer

 -244-

determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer.

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

(ii)            Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special

 -245-

Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

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

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

 -246-

determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(c)                Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the

 -247-

Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one month collection period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such collection period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month collection period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or in respect of Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which shall mean that (i) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (i) above, or (iii) in the case of the Master Servicer, it has not timely received from the Trustee information required by the Master Servicer to determine whether to defer reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence apply, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give the 17g-5 Information Provider a notice for posting of the anticipated reimbursement as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding or second preceding sentence shall in no way affect the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to

 -248-

defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by this Section 3.17(c).

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this Section 3.17(c) or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.17(c) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines, in its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as the case may be, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.17(c) or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this Section 3.17(c).

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

 -249-

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

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

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

Section 3.18        Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a)  The Special Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and all such matters that involve a Major Decision for all Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Loans, and the Master Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and does not involve a Major Decision. Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i), Section 3.18(m) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder, as applicable, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or related Companion Loan that would constitute a Major Decision without (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, the Special Servicer having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) or (z) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special

 -250-

Servicer having consulted with the Operating Advisor if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a); and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a) shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease, ten (10) years, prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, the Special Servicer shall (1) provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, consult with the Directing Certificateholder, in each case pursuant to the process described in Section 6.08(a) and (z) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer having consulted with the Operating Advisor if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, without the consent of the Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder, may modify or amend the terms of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

Any fees or other charges charged by the Special Servicer in connection with processing any Payment Accommodation with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (in the aggregate with each other such Payment Accommodation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan), in each case as a result of the COVID-19 emergency, shall not exceed an amount equal to $45,000 (“COVID Forbearance Fees”) (excluding attorneys’ fees and third party expenses) and shall only be borne by the Mortgagor, not the Trust. To the extent that a Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan defaults under

 -251-

a Payment Accommodation, all caps and limitations on fees, as described in the preceding sentence, will no longer be applicable and the Special Servicer will be entitled to all other fees that would otherwise be payable to the Special Servicer from the Trust or otherwise, including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees, Default Interest and all other Mortgagor-paid fees.

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and except as provided in the next sentence, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. The Master Servicer will deliver to the Special Servicer any additional information in the Master Servicer’s possession requested by the Special Servicer relating to such Major Decision. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any Major Decision and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and/or analysis with respect to any Major Decision.

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

 -252-

(b)               If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (w) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x) with respect to any such Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in Section 6.08, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, consultation with the Operating Advisor if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (z) additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement; provided that with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the prior consent of the related Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights regarding the matter; provided, further, that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Mortgagor of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining

 -253-

Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.

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

The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and, ((A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 and (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, after consulting with the Operating Advisor if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a)) ten (10) years prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate (including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan, or Serviced Whole Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.

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

(d)               To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a), and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and this Section 3.18 if such matter constitutes a Master Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision) may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will

not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for purposes of the Code or (y) any Trust REMIC to be subject to any tax under the REMIC Provisions. In making this determination, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Payment Due Date, or if not made on a Payment Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Payment Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan.

(e)                Subject to Section 3.18(c), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection with such request; provided that the charging of such fee is not a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(f)                All modifications (including extensions), waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans and/or Companion Loans entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be in writing, signed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the related Mortgagor (and by any guarantor of the related Mortgage Loan, if such guarantor’s signature is required by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard).

(g)               With respect to any modification, waiver, amendment or consent for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), the Directing Certificateholder (other than (i) following the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a Subordinate Companion Holder, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable), the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver, amendment or consent (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the

 -255-

date thereof. With respect to any modification, waiver, amendment or consent (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to this Section 3.18, the Master Servicer shall provide written notice of any such modification, waiver, amendment or consent to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer (and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall be required to forward any such notice to the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded DCH Loan)), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a Subordinate Companion Holder, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller (so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller is not the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)). The party responsible for delivering notice shall deliver to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if such notice is being delivered by the Special Servicer) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver, amendment or consent, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution thereof, with a copy to the applicable Companion Holder, if any. Following receipt of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, delivery of the aforesaid modification, waiver, amendment or consent to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall forward a copy thereof to each Holder of a Certificate (other than the Class R Certificates). With respect to the processing of any modification, waiver or consent related to any Mortgagor incurring additional secured debt or mezzanine debt, the Special Servicer (if the Special Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.18(a)) or the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.18(m)) shall, on or before the later of (i) 3:00 p.m. on the related P&I Advance Date and (ii) five (5) Business Days immediately following the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtaining actual knowledge of the incurrence of such additional secured debt or mezzanine debt, deliver notice of the Mortgagor’s incurrence of such debt, substantially in the form of Exhibit KK, to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com and an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit EE. The notice contemplated in the preceding sentence shall set forth, to the extent the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, has the requisite information or can reasonably obtain such information, (1) the amount of additional secured debt that was incurred in the related Collection Period, (2) the total debt service coverage ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and additional secured debt, and (3) the aggregate LTV Ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and additional secured debt. In the event that either (i) the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package is amended to include such information set forth above, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and the Master Servicer confirms with the Certificate Administrator that such amended CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package enables the Certificate Administrator to include such information on Form 10-D in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, or (ii) the Trust is no longer subject to the Exchange Act, the additional report in the form of Exhibit KK shall no longer be required hereunder. From time to time, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.

(h)               Subject to the consent rights and process set forth in Section 6.08 with respect to Major Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Mortgage Loans

 -256-

(other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25); provided, further, however, that no such confirmation from any Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $35,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of all Mortgage Loans, and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, such reasonable costs shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

 -257-

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents or Serviced Whole Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable or Companion Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any Trust REMIC; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to an RDRO Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its assignee. Until such time as the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides the Master Servicer with written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance request of an RDRO Mortgage Loan relating to such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to such Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with Section 13.05. With respect to any such RDRO Mortgage Loan that is subject to defeasance, if the successor borrower is not designated or formed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate or successor thereto, the successor borrower shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(j)                 If required under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested by the Master Servicer in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii). To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate

 -258-

account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan in advance of its Payment Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Available Funds” and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

(k)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall, unless it has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) (the cost of which shall be paid by the related Mortgagor, if so allowed by the terms of the related loan documents and otherwise paid out of general collections) grant or accept any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the related property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager, with respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan that (i) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans a by Stated Principal Balance or (ii) has an unpaid principal balance that is at least equal to five percent (5%) of the then-aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans or $35,000,000.

(l)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any modification, waiver, consent or amendment in connection with any release of collateral securing any Mortgage Loan in connection with a defeasance of such collateral, the Special Servicer shall not approve any such modification, waiver or amendment or consent thereto without first having received a copy of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer that such modification, waiver, consent or amendment will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to the extent the Special Servicer determines in its reasonable good faith business judgment consistent with the Servicing Standard that such Opinion of Counsel is reasonably necessary.

In addition to the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall be allowed to grant a forbearance on a Mortgage Loan related to the global COVID-19 emergency if (i) prior to October 1, 2021 (or prior to a later date provided by the IRS in any future guidance), the period of forbearance granted, when added to any prior periods of forbearance granted before or after the Trust acquired such Mortgage Loan (whether or not such prior grants of forbearance were covered by Section 5.02(2) of Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12)), does not exceed six months (or such longer period of time as may be allowed by future guidance that is binding on federal income tax authorities) and such forbearance is otherwise covered by Section 5.02(2) of Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12), (ii) such forbearance is permitted under another provision of this Agreement and the requirements under such provision are satisfied, or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the effect that such forbearance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

 -259-

(m)             Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.18 or Section 3.08, but subject to any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer may, without any Directing Certificateholder approval or consent (except as otherwise provided below in the definition of Master Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer’s approval or consent, take any of the following actions with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan (each such action, a “Master Servicer Decision”): (i) grant waivers of non-material covenant defaults (other than financial covenants), including late (but not waived) financial statements except that (other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required to grant waivers of more than three consecutive late deliveries of financial statements; (ii) consents to releases of non-material, non-income producing parcels of a Mortgaged Property that do not materially affect the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan as and when due, provided such releases are required by the related Mortgage Loan documents; (iii) approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way (including, without limitation for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose) or subordination of the lien of the Mortgage Loan to easements, except that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required to approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way that materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a Mortgagor’s ability to make payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan; (iv) grant other routine approvals, including granting of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements and consents involving leasing activities (other than for ground leases) (provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required for leasing activities that affect an area greater than or equal to 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property), including approval of new leases and amendments to current leases; (v) consent to actions and releases related to condemnation of parcels of a Mortgaged Property (provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required in connection with any condemnation with respect to a material parcel or a material income producing parcel or any condemnation that materially affects the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan when due); (vi) consent to a change in property management relating to any Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan if the replacement property manager is not a Borrower Party (provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required for any Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loans) that has an outstanding principal balance equal to or greater than $10,000,000); (vii) approve annual operating budgets for Mortgage Loans; (viii) consent to any releases or reductions of or withdrawals from (as applicable) any letters of credit, escrow funds, reserve funds or other additional collateral with respect to any Mortgage Loan, except that (other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be

 -260-

required for earnout, holdback or performance reserve releases specifically scheduled on Schedule 3 to this Agreement for which there is lender discretion; (ix) grant any extension or enter into any forbearance with respect to the anticipated refinancing of a Mortgage Loan or sale of a Mortgaged Property after the related Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan so long as (A) such extension or forbearance does not extend beyond 120 days after the related Maturity Date and (B) the related Mortgagor has delivered documentation (and the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such documentation to the Directing Certificateholder) reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Master Servicer, which provides that a refinancing of such Mortgage Loan or sale of the related Mortgaged Property will occur within 120 days after the date on which such Balloon Payment will become due; (x) any modification, amendment, consent to a modification or waiver of any term of any Intercreditor Agreement, except that (other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan and other than with respect to amendments to split or resize notes consistent with the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement) the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required for any such modification, amendment, consent to a modification or waiver of any term of any Intercreditor Agreement other than during a Control Termination Event, and if any modification or amendment would adversely impact the Special Servicer, such modification or amendment will additionally require the consent of the Special Servicer as a condition to its effectiveness; (xi) any determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, except that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for any such determination; (xii) approve or consent to any defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan other than agreeing to (A) a modification of the type of defeasance collateral required under the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan documents other than direct, non-callable obligations of the United States would be permitted or (B) a modification that would permit a principal prepayment instead of defeasance if the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan documents do not otherwise permit such principal prepayment; (xiii) any assumption of the Mortgage Loan or transfer of the Mortgaged Property, in each case, that the loan documents allow without the consent of the mortgagee but subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the loan documents where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied; and (xiv) grant or agree to any other waiver, modification, amendment and/or consent that does not constitute a Major Decision; provided that (w) any such action would not in any way affect a payment term of the Certificates, (x) any such action would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Trust to the extent not reimbursed or paid by the related Mortgagor), to the extent requesting such opinion is consistent with the Servicing Standard), (y) agreeing to such action would be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (z) agreeing to such action would not violate the terms, provisions or limitations of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement; provided, further, that, in the case of any Master Servicer Decision that requires the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, such consent shall be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided within 10 Business Days after receipt of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the Master Servicer, in order to grant or withhold such consent; provided, further, that (1) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, the

 -261-

foregoing matters shall not include (and Master Servicer Decision shall not include) any action that constitutes a “major decision” under the related Intercreditor Agreement and (2) in the case of any Master Servicer Decision that requires the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to consult with the Master Servicer on a non-binding basis (provided that if the Directing Certificateholder fails to respond to a request for consultation within 10 Business Days after receipt of such request for consultation (together with all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the Master Servicer, in order to so consult) from the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation to consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Master Servicer Decision, provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not relieve the Master Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters). The foregoing is intended to be an itemization of actions the Master Servicer may take without having to obtain the approval of any other party and is not intended to limit the responsibilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.

(n)               Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify any Mortgage Loan into an AB Modified Loan unless the documents evidencing such modification provide that all payments on the junior or “B” portion of such AB Modified Loan (including interest, principal and other amounts) shall only be payable after the point in time at which all interest and principal on the senior or “A” portion of such AB Modified Loan shall have been paid in full and such senior or “A” portion shall no longer be outstanding; provided, however, that interest and other amounts in respect of such junior or “B” portion may accrue prior to such point in time.

Section 3.19        Transfer of Servicing Between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Recordkeeping; Asset Status Report. (a)  Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall promptly give notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan) the Directing Certificateholder thereof, and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Special Servicer and concurrently provide a copy of such Servicing File, exclusive of all Privileged Communications, to the Operating Advisor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event (or, in the case of clauses (viii) or (ix) of the definition of “Servicing Transfer Event”, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice from the Special Servicer of such Servicing Transfer Event when the Special Servicer makes the determination) and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan and, if

 -262-

applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event or (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan) the Directing Certificateholder, a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer, or by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer, pursuant to this Section 3.19. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each Controlling Class Certificateholder a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.19.

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

(b)               In servicing any Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, the Special Servicer will provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File to the extent within its possession (with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and provide the Master Servicer with copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan information including material written correspondence with the related Mortgagor.

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

(d)               No later than sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan (the “Initial Delivery Date”), the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if

 -263-

applicable, and the related Mortgaged Property to the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (but only in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than (A) any Excluded DCH Loan or (B) any Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence of an AB Control Appraisal Period, and in any event prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (but, other than with respect to an Excluded DCH Loan, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent the related Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) and, with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the related Companion Holder or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the master servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold; the Special Servicer shall also deliver a summary of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall post the summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Subsequent to the issuance of a Final Asset Status Report to the extent that during the course of the resolution of such Specially Serviced Loan material changes in the strategy reflected in the initial Final Asset Status Report (or subsequent Final Asset Status Reports) are necessary to reflect the then current circumstances and recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall prepare one or more additional Asset Status Reports with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan (each such report a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall not make any Asset Status Reports available to any Certificateholders on its website. None of the parties to this Agreement shall provide any Asset Status Report or any Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator. Further, the Certificate Administrator shall not request any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report from the Master Servicer. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable based on the information that was delivered to the Special Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing pursuant to the Servicing Transfer Event:

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

(ii)           a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

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

(iv)          (A) the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how such Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status (including the modification of a monetary term, and any workout, restructure or debt forgiveness) and returned to the Master Servicer for regular servicing or otherwise realized upon (including any proposed

 -264-

sale of a Defaulted Loan or REO Property), (B) a description of any such proposed or taken actions, and (C) the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

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

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

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

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

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

(x)            such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.

If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents. If, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only prior to the occurrence

 -265-

and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and during an AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan), the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.19(d) until the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period, the prior consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder, to the extent required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan); provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of sixty (60) Business Days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall follow the direction of the Directing Certificateholder provided, such direction would be consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder’s direction would cause the Special Servicer to violate the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report; and provided, however, that such Asset Status Report does not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for the approvals that are specifically required pursuant to Section 6.08. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to herein as the “Directing Certificateholder Approval Process”. Prior to the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor following the conclusion of the Directing Certificateholder Approval Process.

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

No direction or disapproval of the Directing Certificateholder hereunder or under a related Intercreditor Agreement or failure of the Directing Certificateholder to consent to or approve (including any deemed consents or approvals) any request of the Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or

 -266-

(c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective officers, directors, members, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

If an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, if both a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect), the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder). Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor’s review of a Final Asset Status Report shall only provide background information to support the Operating Advisor’s duties concerning the Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor shall not provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of such Final Asset Status Report. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)).

Promptly upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable (but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder), and deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued). The procedures described in this and the immediately preceding paragraph are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”.

 -267-

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

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

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

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

(f)                Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with

 -268-

respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than any Excluded DCH Loan), the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder a draft notice that will include a draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which briefly summarizes such Final Asset Status Report, but shall not include any Privileged Information) (and shall deliver each Asset Status Report with respect to a Serviced AB Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period (to the extent approved by the related Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), to the Directing Certificateholder). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such draft summary, the Directing Certificateholder approves of, or does not disapprove of such draft summary, then the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b). If the Directing Certificateholder affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder approves such draft summary; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved of the draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the Special Servicer prior to such 20th Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any time the Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Certificateholder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) notwithstanding such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following its completion) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor. The Special Servicer shall prepare a summary of any Final Asset Status Report related to any Serviced AB Whole Loan which is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, which Final Asset Status Report has been approved or deemed approved by the holder of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement requires such approval or deemed approval), and deliver in electronic format notice of such Final Asset Status Report and the summary of such Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b).

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

Section 3.20        Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a)  The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement;

 -269-

(ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g)); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (other than the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that enters into such Sub-Servicing Agreement), any successor master servicer or successor special servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust except through the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, if and only to the extent provided pursuant to Section 6.04; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan; (vii) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to take any action constituting a Major Decision without the consent of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (which consent shall not be granted except in accordance with Section 6.08); (viii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party; (ix) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor under Article XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to; and (x) provides that such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminable if at any time the related Sub-Servicer (other than a Sub-Servicer retained by the Special Servicer) is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2). Any successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and

 -270-

may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (subject to Section 3.20(g)). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee and the Depositor (and the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

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

(c)                As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each of its Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and

 -271-

carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, subject to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it at any time it considers removal to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

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

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

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

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

(h)               With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably

 -272-

in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

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

(j)                 None of the Master Servicer or any Additional Servicer shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a Sub-Servicer that is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer would be a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, may conclusively rely upon a representation of any Sub-Servicer that such Sub-Servicer is not a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, or anything herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged that no Initial Sub-Servicer is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser as of the Closing Date. If at any time the Master Servicer obtains actual knowledge that a Sub-Servicer it has entered into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with, is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) and a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser, the Master Servicer shall terminate such Sub-Servicer in accordance with the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.21        Interest Reserve Account.

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

(b)               On each P&I Advance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw, from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit such amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

Section 3.22        Directing Certificateholder and Operating Advisor Contact with Master Servicer and Special Servicer. Within a reasonable time upon request from the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and no more often than on a monthly basis, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a

 -273-

knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone available to verbally answer questions from (a) the Directing Certificateholder ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan) and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

Section 3.23        Controlling Class Certificateholders, Directing Certificateholder; Certain Rights and Powers of Directing Certificateholder. (a)  Each Controlling Class Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the transfer of any Certificate of a Controlling Class by delivering a notice to each such Person substantially in the form of Exhibit NN attached hereto, the selection of a Directing Certificateholder or the resignation or removal thereof. The Directing Certificateholder (other than the Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor when such Certificateholder is appointed Directing Certificateholder and when it is removed or resigns. To the extent there is only one Controlling Class Certificateholder and it is also the Special Servicer, it shall be the Directing Certificateholder.

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

(b)               Once a Directing Certificateholder has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Controlling Class Certificateholders entitled to appoint the Directing Certificateholder, by Certificate Balance, or such Directing Certificateholder shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Controlling Class Certificateholder, in writing, of the resignation of such Directing Certificateholder or the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor receives written notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders that a Directing Certificateholder is no longer designated and (ii) the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or a representative thereof) becomes the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the proviso of the definition of “Directing Certificateholder”, then the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) shall provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and

 -274-

notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Directing Certificateholder; provided that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the written notification provided by the purported Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class without independently verifying that such Controlling Class Certificateholder actually owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class. The foregoing provisions shall not be applicable to the Directing Certificateholder that is a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder.

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

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

(e)                Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Register, including names and addresses. In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LD III Sub IV LLC shall be the initial Directing Certificateholder and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing.

Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the preceding sentence with respect to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder.

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

(g)               Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests

 -275-

that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class or in its own interest; (iii) the Directing Certificateholder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class (or in the case of a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder has no liabilities or duties to the Controlling Class or the Holders of any Class of Certificates); (iv) the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes including the Controlling Class or itself over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder; provided that a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder shall have no such liability) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Certificateholder for having so acted.

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

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

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

(k)               The Certificate Registrar shall determine which Class of Certificates is the then-current Controlling Class within two (2) Business Days of a request from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, or any Certificateholder and provide such information to the requesting party.

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

 -276-

(ii) any Consultation Termination Event or (iii) any Operating Advisor Consultation Event. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Control Termination Event, a Consultation Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred or is terminated, the Certificate Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days, post a “special notice” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this provision.

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

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

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

With respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded DCH Loan, none of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder shall have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded DCH Loan and a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded DCH Loan.

Section 3.24        Intercreditor Agreements. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan, and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer agrees not to take any action with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt or the related Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the related Companion Holder

 -277-

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

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

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

(d)               With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder hereunder may have to consult

 -278-

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

(e)                Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

 -279-

(f)                Each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

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

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

Section 3.25        Rating Agency Confirmation. (a)  Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) attempting and/or required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again (which may be through direct communication). The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the RAC Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such RAC Requesting Party may, but shall not be obligated to send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.10(d).

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, confirms its

 -280-

original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the replacement master servicer or special servicer has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or a special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns with respect to such replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the replacement master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the replacement special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns with respect to the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by such replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency.

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

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

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

 -281-

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

Section 3.26        The Operating Advisor. (a)  The Operating Advisor shall review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(b), Section 3.19(d), Section 3.26 and Section 6.08) and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Major Decisions relating to any Mortgage Loan, (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and that are relevant to the Operating Advisor’s obligations hereunder and (iii) each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and (iv) each Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer. The Operating Advisor shall perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard. Furthermore, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligation or responsibility at any time to review the actions of the Master Servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor will not be required to consider such Master Servicer actions in connection with any Operating Advisor Annual Report.

(b)               The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report), subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

(c)                (i)  Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of (i) any assessment of compliance report, attestation report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year, (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, any related Final Asset Status Report or approved or deemed approved Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer, and (iii) after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Report and any Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the Operating Advisor with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Operating Advisor shall (but only if any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the prior calendar year) deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without

 -282-

limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, also with respect to Major Decisions on Non-Specially Serviced Loans) during the prior calendar year on a “trust-level basis” and identifying (1) which, if any, standards with which the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply and (2) any material deviations from the Special Servicer’s obligations hereunder with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); provided, further, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the special servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to each Excluded Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) serviced by such Excluded Special Servicer. In preparing any Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviation from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(c), each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the Special Servicer. Only as used in this Section 3.26 in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the term “trust-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, also with respect to Major Decisions on Non-Specially Serviced Loans), taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report

(during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), Final Asset Status Report and any other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to this Agreement.

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

(d)               [RESERVED].

(e)                (i)  With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, after the calculation has been finalized (and, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer) of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer, (ii) Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer, (iii) Collateral Deficiency Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer or (iv) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv) calculated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information that is either in the Special Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Special Servicer and reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and review for accuracy and consistency with this Agreement the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

(ii)                In connection with this Section 3.26(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (in each case, as calculated by the Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the

 -284-

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

(g)               The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace the Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any Excluded DCH Loan) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor

 -285-

may serve in a similar capacity with respect to Other Securitizations that involve the same parties or borrower involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the employees performing operating advisor functions for such Other Securitizations shall not be imputed to the employees of the Operating Advisor involved in this securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor.

(h)               [RESERVED].

(i)                 As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan but excluding each Companion Loan) and each REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. In addition, the Depositor shall pay the Operating Advisor a fee of $10,000 (the “Operating Advisor Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date.

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

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates has not been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such Certificates, only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision that are consistent with the efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, would use to collect any borrower-paid fees not specified in the Mortgage Loan documents owed to it, and, only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take

 -286-

any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or consultation rights in its capacity as operating advisor with respect to: any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

(j)                 After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor), (ii) payment by such requesting Holders to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmations will be obtained by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of such Holders and will not constitute an additional expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), the Trustee shall immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)) by prior written notice to the Operating Advisor, and the proposed successor operating advisor will be appointed.

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

 -287-

it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Depositor, the Directing Certificateholder (only if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), any Companion Loan holder and the Certificateholders.

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

(m)             Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Operating Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.26; provided, further, that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

(n)               The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Directing Certificateholder, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. If no successor operating advisor has been appointed and has accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Directing Certificateholder of the resigning Operating Advisor’s notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

Nothing in this Section 3.32 shall be construed to alter, modify, limit or expand the Operating Advisor’s duties, rights and obligations in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in Section 3.23, Section 3.26, Section 6.04 and Section 7.01, and the Operating Advisor shall not be required to review the actions of the applicable Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Special Servicer’s Litigation Control unless such review is otherwise related to the performance of the Operating Advisor’s duties, rights and obligations in respect of a Final Asset Status Report and/or Asset Status Report.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Trust-Related Litigation otherwise required to be exercised hereunder by the applicable Master Servicer relating to a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder is a Borrower Party) that has either (i) been satisfied or paid in full, or (ii) as to which a Final Recovery Determination has been made, but subject to Section 3.32(d), after receiving the required notice from the applicable Master Servicer set forth above that the applicable Master Servicer became aware of or was named in any such claims or litigation, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) may direct the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer in writing that such Litigation Control nevertheless be exercised by the applicable

 -295-

Special Servicer; provided, however, that the applicable Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event)) has determined and advised the applicable Master Servicer (and the applicable Master Servicer has reasonably concurred) that its actions with respect to such obligations are indemnifiable under Section 6.04 hereof, and accordingly, any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses incurred up until such date of transfer of Litigation Control to the applicable Special Servicer) arising from the related legal action or claim underlying such Litigation Control and not otherwise paid to the applicable Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 of this Agreement shall be payable by the Trust Fund; provided, further, so as long as the Trust Fund and any applicable Other Trustee are fully indemnified and/or made whole with respect to the related legal action or claim underlying such Litigation Control from recoveries with respect to such legal action or claim, the Directing Certificateholder shall be reimbursed up to the amount of compensation paid to the applicable Special Servicer for assuming and handling such Litigation Control but only to the extent that such recoveries exceed the amount necessary to fully indemnify and make the Trust Fund whole.

(d)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, any Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or any Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) in their individual capacity, or if any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, any Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or any Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) in their individual capacity, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, any Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or any Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control), as the case may be, upon prior written notice to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable (i.e., whichever has Litigation Control), may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor under the related loan documents or otherwise relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan, Whole Loan or Mortgaged Property, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, (A) initiate any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, to grant such consent); and (iii) if any court finds that the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, any Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or any Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, the Trustee, the Operating

 -296-

Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer shall each have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interest (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim). Subject to the rights of the Directing Certificateholder under this Section 3.32, nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to preclude either the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, from initiating any Litigation Control-related action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as a representative of the Trust Fund.

(e)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction, objection of, or consent given or withheld by the Directing Certificateholder or Operating Advisor shall (i) require or cause the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan documents, any related Intercreditor Agreement, any related intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the related Mortgage Loan documents, and to maintain the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC, (ii) expose any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust Fund or the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement does not provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, or (iii) materially expand the scope of any Special Servicer’s, any Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s, the Trustee’s or the Operating Advisor’s responsibilities under this Agreement; and neither the applicable Special Servicer nor the applicable Master Servicer shall follow any such advice, direction or objection if given by the Directing Certificateholder, or initiate any such actions, that would have the effect described in clauses (i)-(iii) of this sentence.

Any Excluded Information that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via e-mail (or such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Information” followed by the applicable loan name and loan file to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com. For the avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.33 shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any information appropriately labeled and delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.33 shall be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website under the “Excluded Information” section, as provided under Section 3.13. When so posted, the Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.33 until

 -297-

such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1E to this Agreement. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website on account of it constituting Excluded Information, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to obtain such information in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement.

(b)       [RESERVED].

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

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates or Related Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses, as provided in Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(c). The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The pass-through rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.

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

Charge or Prepayment Premium distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-3 Exchangeable Certificates and the Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates as described above; and

(xiii)       to the Class X-B Certificates, any remaining portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium.

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

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment)) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related Stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Loan that is not, or is not related to, an ARD Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Loan that is, or is related to, an ARD Loan), such interpolated yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield. If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) is no longer published, the Master Servicer shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities.

No Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-D, Class G-RR, Class H-RR, Class J-RR, Class K-RR, Class L-RR or Class R Certificates. After the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class D,

 -309-

Class E and Class F-RR Certificates and the Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Exchangeable Certificates have been reduced to zero, all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Holder of the Class X-B Certificates.

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

(f)       On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests (and, correspondingly, the Exchangeable Certificates) in order of their principal distribution priority (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions. Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future Realized Losses with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related shortfalls allocable to the Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

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

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal

 -310-

procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

(h)       Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:

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

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

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

(i)       Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to the Regular Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(d), as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class on

 -311-

the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.05 at such last address. The amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(h) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.

 -312-

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

On the final Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Certificate Administrator who shall distribute to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Loss of Value Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and that were transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Collection Account on the immediately preceding Remittance Date.

Upon receipt of an Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer required to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include such Asset Review Report Summary in Item 1B on the Form 10-D for such period in which such Asset Review Report Summary was delivered, and (ii) post such Asset Review Report Summary to the Certificate Administrator’s Website not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(b)       [RESERVED].

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.02(c) or of Section 4.02(d) to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting

 -317-

disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(d)       Upon the written request of a Certificateholder, any beneficial owner of a Certificate, or any prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is designated by a Certificateholder or a beneficial owner of a Certificate as such and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as soon as reasonably practicable, at the expense of the requesting party, the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the requesting party such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such person, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

(e)       The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(f)       Upon the reasonable request of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder that, in either case, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan identified to the Master Servicer’s (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer’s (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, through the Certificate Administrator’s Website because the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to another Excluded Controlling Class Loan) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or the

 -318-

Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f) shall include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).

Section 4.03   P&I Advances. (a) On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make such P&I Advances or (iii) make such P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC^® on such Distribution Date.

If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, then it shall provide to the related other master servicer and Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, then it shall provide to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

 -319-

(b)       Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date, and each Mortgage Loan, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Non-Serviced Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on such Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and were not received as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each such Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan), shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan.

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

 -320-

with the related Other Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that a P&I Advance that has been made on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined, or the Non-Serviced Trustee has determined, in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)       In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) if the

 -321-

related Periodic Payment is received on or before the related Payment Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related P&I Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account.

(e)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums, or Balloon Payments or make any P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan or any cure payment payable by a holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an “appraisal reduction amount” has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the Master Servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) then in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this Section 4.03(e), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.

(f)       In no event shall either the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan.

Section 4.04  Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates or Upper-Tier Regular Interest in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than any Exchangeable Certificates) and Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests, to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO

 -322-

Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Collection Period during which the recovery occurred): (i) the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of such Principal Balance Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests that previously were allocated Realized Losses in sequential order according to the priority of payments for such Principal Balance Certificates and Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests (and with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-3 and Class A-4 Upper-Tier Regular Interests (and, correspondingly, to the Class A-3, Class A-3-1, Class A-3-2, Class A-4, Class A-4-1 and Class A-4-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class A-3 Upper-Tier Regular Interest or the Class A-4 Upper-Tier Regular Interest, as applicable), on a pro rata basis according to the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses on such Classes), in each case up to the lesser of (A) the unallocated portion of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests; and (ii) the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests for the next Distribution Date shall be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for the reimbursed Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests had never been written down. If the Certificate Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses of such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be decreased by such amount.

(b)       (i) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than any Exchangeable Certificates) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write-off shall be allocated first, to the Class L-RR Certificates, second, to the Class K-RR Certificates, third, to the Class J-RR Certificates, fourth, to the Class H-RR Certificates, fifth, to the Class G-RR Certificates, sixth, to the Class F-RR Certificates, seventh, to the Class E Certificates, eighth, to the Class D Certificates, ninth, to the Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, to the Class C, Class C-1 and Class C-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest), tenth, to the Class B Upper-Tier Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, to the Class B, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class B Upper-Tier Regular Interest), eleventh, to the Class A-S Upper-Tier Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, to the Class A-S, Class A-S-1 and Class A-S-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class A-S Upper-Tier Regular Interest) and then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-3 and Class A-4 Upper-Tier Regular Interests (and, correspondingly, to the Class A-3, Class A-3-1, Class A-3-2, Class A-4, Class A-4-1 and Class A-4-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class A-3 Upper-Tier Regular Interest or the Class A-4 Upper-Tier Regular Interest, as applicable), in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests have been reduced to zero.

 -323-

(ii)       Any Realized Losses applied to the Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B or Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest shall be allocated to the corresponding Classes of Exchangeable Certificates with Certificate Balances that represent an interest therein pro rata to reduce their Certificate Balances in accordance with their Class Percentage Interests therein.

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

Section 4.05  Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) shall be allocated to each Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than any Exchangeable Certificates) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class L-RR Certificates, second, to the Class K-RR Certificates, third, to the Class J-RR Certificates, fourth, to the Class H-RR Certificates, fifth, to the Class G-RR Certificates, sixth, to the Class F-RR Certificates, seventh, to the Class E Certificates, eighth, to the Class D Certificates, ninth, to the Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest, tenth, to the Class B Upper-Tier Regular Interest, eleventh, to the Class A-S Upper-Tier Regular Interest, and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-3 and Class A-4 Upper-Tier Regular Interests). Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to any Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest as set forth above will be allocated to the Classes of Exchangeable P&I Certificates representing interests therein pro rata in accordance with their respective Class Percentage Interests in such Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest.

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

 -324-

respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining actual knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Master Servicer thereof. None of the Master Servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, calculated for purposes of determining (i) the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor or (ii) the Controlling Class or the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as is” basis.

The Special Servicer (in the case of a Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (and the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator), of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (which notification from the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator shall be made by delivery of the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.12(d)), any Collateral Deficiency Amount and (except in the case of the Master Servicer) any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, if any (which notification shall be satisfied through delivery of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount as included in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template included in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package or such other report or reports mutually agreed upon between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator (which shall be delivered by the Master Servicer simultaneously with the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.12(d))) and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and notify the Servicer and the Special Servicer if a Control Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred. Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder and the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(l) (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository being an expense of the Trust).

(b)       (i) The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as applicable) in respect of such Class shall have the right and,

 -325-

with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the Other Servicers shall have the right upon the request of similarly situated holders of certificates in the related Other Securitization, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the Master Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). With respect to any such Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such second Appraisal to be (A) delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and (B) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal). With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer and to forward such second appraisal to the Special Servicer.

(ii)       Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Master Servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to the extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and applicable Intercreditor Agreement) and the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as applicable) is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and (in the case of a Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any information received from the Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the next most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates, if any.

(c)       With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred

 -326-

(unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of the occurrence or of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan) the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer that is in the possession of the Master Servicer and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan) the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template format; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Following the Master Servicer’s receipt from the Special Servicer of the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Certificate Administrator in the form of the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File and the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template provided to it by the Special Servicer or such other report or reports mutually agreed upon between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. Such report shall also be forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the

 -327-

Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation.

The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor; provided that the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request.

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

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

Section 4.06  Grantor Trust Reporting. (a) The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under subpart E, part I

 -328-

of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements in the following clause (B), and (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

(b)       As of the Closing Date no Exchangeable Certificate is held through a “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations. If the Certificate Administrator receives notice that the Exchangeable Certificates are held through a “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations, then the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.

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

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

 -329-

(e)       To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIP for the Exchangeable Certificates. The CUSIP so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent such CUSIP has been received. Absent the receipt of such CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator shall use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

Section 4.07  Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry; and Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A Forum” shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders and beneficial owners of Certificates that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (A) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement, (B) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and Section 3.13(e), the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the related Mortgaged Properties or (C) the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Report or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor or actions by the Special Servicer referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report (each an “Inquiry” and collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: REAM_InvestorRelations@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information

 -330-

(subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) that answering the Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or disclosure of attorney work product or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional costs or expenses to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Underwriters, Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require the Operating Advisor to provide information to such inquiring Certificateholders that they are otherwise not entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Certificate Owner that is a Privileged Person, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry shall certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder or a Certificate Owner and a Privileged Person and (b) it grants authorization to the Certificate Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least forty-five (45) days from the date of such certification to persons entitled to access to the Investor Registry. Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and email address, as well as certain optional

 -331-

fields such as address, phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned. If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within forty-five (45) days of its registration), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry. The Certificate Administrator will not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor Registry, or for monitoring or otherwise maintaining the accuracy of any information thereon. The Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Registry.

(c)       The 17g-5 Information Provider shall make available, only to NRSROs, the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The “Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool” shall be a service available on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, where NRSROs may (i) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to any Distribution Date Statements, or submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, relating to the reports prepared by such parties (each such submission, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”), and (ii) view Rating Agency Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the responses thereto. In addition, NRSROs may use the forum to submit requests (each such submission also, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”) to the Master Servicer for loan-level reports and other related information. Upon receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry for the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall forward the Rating Agency Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: RAInvRequests@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry from the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, unless it determines not to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry as provided below, shall reply by email to the Certificate Administrator. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of such response) such Rating Agency Inquiry with the related response thereto (or such reports, as applicable) to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. Any reports posted by the 17g-5 Information Provider in response to an inquiry may be posted on a separate website or web page accessible by a link on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The 17g-5 Information Provider will not be liable for the failure by any other such Person to so answer.

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

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether the type, number or contents of any Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates to the transaction or confirm that all documents and information constituting any Diligence File have actually been delivered to the Certificate Administrator. In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of, or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document or information is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document or information from the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation to produce physical or electronic copies of any document or information provided to it for posting to the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or held liable for any other Person’s use or dissemination of the documents or information contained on the Secure Data Room; provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to restrict access to the Secure Data Room on a loan-by-loan basis and any Person with access to the Secure Data Room shall covenant to access only the information necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

Following the date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust, the Special Servicer may direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room. Upon deletion, in no event shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

Section 5.01  The Certificates. (a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through and including A-4, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement or as may, in the reasonable judgment of the Certificate Registrar, be necessary, appropriate or convenient to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required by law, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof. The Class X Certificates shall be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Notional Amount of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. The Registered Certificates (other than the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates) shall be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. The Non-Registered Certificates (other than the Class X-D and Class R Certificates) shall be issuable in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. If the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class of Certificates does not equal an integral multiple of $1.00, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of (i) the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Class over (ii) the largest integral multiple of $1.00 that does not exceed such amount. The Class R Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class R Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

(b)       One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Registrar by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a

 -334-

Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Registrar countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

Section 5.02  Form and Registration. No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or by the Initial Purchasers to the Third Party Purchaser) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then the following subsections (a)-(d) shall apply.

(a)       Each Class of the Non-Registered Certificates sold to institutions that are non-United States Securities Persons in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary book-entry certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Non-Registered Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided;

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is removed

 -335-

as Certificate Administrator, then Computershare Trust Company, N.A. shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.

(b)       Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than any Risk Retention Certificates during the Transfer Restriction Period) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

(c)       Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates that are initially offered and sold to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers (the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class R Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates, and the Risk Retention Certificates shall be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates at all times during the Transfer Restriction Period.

(d)       Owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Book-Entry Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository

 -336-

Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

(e)       From and after the Closing Date and during the Transfer Restriction Period, the Risk Retention Certificates shall only be held as Definitive Certificates and shall be held in the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and the Retaining Party’s respective interest shall be tracked in the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust accounting system under the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account), as custodian for, and for the benefit of, the Holder of the related Certificate. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the Risk Retention Certificates in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of written instructions from the Holder of the Risk Retention Certificates and the Retaining Sponsor, indicating whether such release is in connection with the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period or in connection with the Retaining Party’s intent to transfer pursuant to Section 5.03(i), in each case, in accordance with any additional authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and in accordance with this Agreement. After its release of the Risk Retention Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation or liability with respect to the safekeeping of the Risk Retention Certificates. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account” and in which the Risk Retention Certificates shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account for the Retaining Party. Such subaccounts shall be marked or evidenced as being for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Risk Retention Certificates to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable to the Holders of the Risk Retention Certificates shall be remitted to the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted directly to the Retaining Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately by the Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the Risk Retention Certificates shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retaining Party. During the Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the Retaining Party may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificates representing the Risk Retention Certificates at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to the Retaining Party of such new location:

Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
Attn: Security Control and Transfer (SCAT)

Minneapolis, MN 55414

On the Closing Date, and upon completion of each transfer of the Risk Retention Certificates during the Transfer Restriction Period, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to the Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and the Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Risk Retention Certificate shall be subject to Section 5.03(g) and Section 5.03(i).

For the sake of clarity, after the Transfer Restriction Period, the Risk Retention Certificates may be transferred at the direction of the Holder thereof in the same manner prescribed herein for other Certificates, subject to Section 5.03(i).

The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

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

 -341-

Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.

(h)       Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), and subject to the issuance and transfer of a Risk Retention Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period in accordance with Section 5.03(i), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

(i)       Transfers of Risk Retention Certificates. During a Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of any Risk Retention Certificate after the Closing Date is to be made, then the following documents shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, who shall facilitate such transfer in conjunction with the Certificate Registrar and shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) instruction from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and the Retaining Sponsor pursuant to Section 5.02(e) directing the Certificate Administrator to release such Risk Retention Certificate from the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account in connection with a transfer of such Risk Retention Certificate, (ii) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor, (iii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor, (iv) an IRS Form W-9 completed by the prospective Transferee and (v) wiring instructions and contact information of the prospective Transferee.

Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e) and Section 5.03(n), reflect such Risk Retention Certificate, in the name of the prospective Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Risk Retention Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period.

(j)       Other Exchanges. In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate, such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of subsections (c) through (f) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with

 -342-

Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

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

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

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

(n)       With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to the Initial Purchasers or, with respect to the Risk Retention Certificates, the Retaining Party) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not and will not be (A) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or any other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60) under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, where the purchase, holding and disposition by such Plan would not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of applicable Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation

 -343-

of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any sub-servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. The Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received either the representation letter described in clause (i) above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii) above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any sub-servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become a Person specified in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

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

(p)       Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

 -344-

Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

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

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

 -345-

At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Persons for all purposes of this Agreement.

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

Section 5.05   Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).

Section 5.06  Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices. (a) The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders.

In addition, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (if applicable) that has provided an Investor Certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner of the identity of the then-current Directing Certificateholder. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which information was derived. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from time to time upon request therefor.

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

(ii)       In verifying the identity of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner in connection with any request to communicate, (i) if the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner is the holder of record with respect to any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall not require any further verification or (ii) if the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner is not the holder of record with respect to any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall require no more than (x) a written certification from such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that it is the beneficial owner of a Certificate and (y) one of the following documents confirming ownership of such Certificate: a trade confirmation, an account statement, a letter from a broker-dealer or another document acceptable to the Certificate Administrator that is similar to any of the foregoing documents. The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation to verify the information provided by any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner in any request to communicate and may rely on such information conclusively. Additionally, any expenses the Certificate Administrator incurs in connection with any request to communicate will be paid by the Trust.

Section 5.08  Appointment of Certificate Administrator. (a) Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is hereby initially appointed Certificate Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 5.09 [RESERVED].

Section 5.10   Voting Procedures. With respect to any matters submitted to Certificateholders for a vote, the Certificate Administrator shall administer such vote through the Depository with respect to Book-Entry Certificates and directly with registered Holders by mail with respect to Definitive Certificates. In each case, such vote shall be administered in accordance with the following procedures, unless different procedures are otherwise described herein with respect to a specific vote:

(a)       Any matter submitted to Certificateholders for a vote shall be announced in a notice prepared by the Certificate Administrator. Such notice shall include the record date determined by the Certificate Administrator for purposes of the vote and a voting deadline which shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is distributed. The notice and related ballot shall be sent to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates through the Depository and by mail to the registered Holders of Definitive Certificates. In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

(b)       In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein. Holders may only vote in accordance with their Voting Rights. Voting Rights with respect to any outstanding Class of Certificates shall be calculated by the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the definition of Voting Rights as of the record date for the vote. Only Classes with an outstanding Certificate Balance greater than zero as of the record date of the vote shall be permitted to vote. Once a Holder has cast its vote, the vote may be changed or retracted on or before the vote deadline. Any changes or retractions

 -350-

shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates are subject to and shall be bound by all votes of Holders initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate.

(c)       The Certificate Administrator may take up to fifteen (15) Business Days to tabulate the results of any vote. The Certificate Administrator shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve any illegible or incomplete ballots received prior to the voting deadline. Illegible or incomplete ballots that are received on the voting deadline or that cannot be resolved by the voting deadline shall not be counted. Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.10(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

(d)       Any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

(e)       If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of Certificateholders is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures. Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

Section 5.11   Exchangeable Certificates. (a) On the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust shall issue the several Classes of Exchangeable Certificates. Each Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests in an amount equal to the Class Percentage Interest of such Class in each such Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest. All amounts allocated to an Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest hereunder, including principal and interest payable thereon, shall be allocated to the Classes of Exchangeable Certificates representing an interest therein, in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests therein.

(b)       Certificates of each Class of Exchangeable Certificates (each such Class, in connection with any exchange, an applicable “Surrendered Class”) may be exchanged on the books of DTC for Certificates of the corresponding Classes of Exchangeable Certificates set forth next

 -351-

to such Class in the table below (each, an applicable “Received Class”), and vice versa. The Denomination of each of the Received Classes of Certificates must be equal to the Denomination of each of the Surrendered Classes of Certificates. No fee shall be required with respect to any exchange of Exchangeable Certificates. Following any exchange of Certificates of one or more Surrendered Classes for Certificates of one or more Received Classes, the Class Percentage Interests in the Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests that are represented by the Surrendered Classes (and consequently their related Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts) shall be decreased, and those of the Received Classes (and consequently their related Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts) shall be increased. The Certificate Administrator or Certificate Registrar, as applicable, shall (i) make the appropriate notation of such exchange on the Certificate Register and on the Book-Entry Certificate for each Class of Exchangeable Certificates involved in such exchange to reflect such reductions and increases and (ii) give appropriate instructions to the Depository to reflect such reductions and increases.

Surrendered Classes (or Received Classes) of Certificates	Received Classes (or Surrendered Classes) of Certificates
Class A-3	Class A-3-1, Class A-3-X1
Class A-3	Class A-3-2, Class A-3-X2
Class A-4	Class A-4-1, Class A-4-X1
Class A-4	Class A-4-2, Class A-4-X2
Class A-S	Class A-S-1, Class A-S-X1
Class A-S	Class A-S-2, Class A-S-X2
Class B	Class B, Class B-X1
Class B	Class B, Class B-X2
Class C	Class C, Class C-X1
Class C	Class C, Class C-X2

For example, a Certificateholder holding Class A-S Certificates with a Denomination of $24,844,000 may surrender Class A-S Certificates with a Denomination of $12,422,000 (the Certificates of the applicable Surrendered Class) and receive in exchange Class A-S-1 Certificates with a Denomination of $12,422,000 and Class A-S-X1 Certificates with a Denomination of $12,422,000 (collectively, the Certificates of the applicable Received Classes). In such event, (i) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S Certificates in each of the Class A-S, Class A-S-X1 and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced from 100% to 50%, (ii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-1 Certificates in each of the Class A-S and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be increased from 0% to 50%, and (iii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-X1 Certificates in the Class A-S-X1 Upper-Tier Regular Interest would be increased from 0% to 50%.

Similarly a Certificateholder holding Class A-S-1 Certificates with a Denomination of $12,422,000 that seeks to surrender all such Certificates in exchange for Class A-S Certificates will be required to surrender all such Certificates, as well as Class A-S-X1 Certificates with a Denomination of $12,422,000 in order to accomplish such exchange. In such event, (i) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-1 Certificates in each of the Class A-S and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced from 50% to 0%, (ii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-X1 Certificates in the Class A-S-X1 Upper-Tier Regular Interest would be reduced from 50% to 0%, and (iii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S Certificates in

 -352-

each of the Class A-S, Class A-S-X1 and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be increased from 0% (assuming no other Class A-S Certificates are then outstanding) to 50%.

(c)       The maximum Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Class A-3 Exchangeable Certificates that may be issued in an exchange is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class A-3 Upper-Tier Regular Interest, the maximum Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates that may be issued in an exchange is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class A-4 Upper-Tier Regular Interest, and the maximum Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Class A-S Exchangeable Certificates that may be issued in an exchange is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class A-S Upper-Tier Regular Interest, the maximum Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Class B Exchangeable Certificates that may be issued in an exchange is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class B Upper-Tier Regular Interest, and the maximum Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Class C Exchangeable Certificates that may be issued in an exchange is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest.

(d)       In order to effect an exchange of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificateholder shall deliver a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit UU to the Certificate Administrator by e-mail to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com (with a subject line referencing “WFCM 2021-C61” and setting forth the proposed Exchange Date) no later than three (3) Business Days before the proposed exchange date (the “Exchange Date”). The Exchange Date may be any Business Day other than the first or last Business Day of the month. The notice must (i) be set forth on the applicable Certificateholder’s letterhead, (ii) carry a medallion stamp guarantee and (iii) set forth the following information: (x) the CUSIP number, outstanding Certificate Balance or Notional Amount and Original Certificate Balance or Original Notional Amount of each proposed Surrendered Class and of each proposed Received Class; (y) the Certificateholder’s DTC participant number; and (z) the proposed Exchange Date. A notice shall become irrevocable on the second Business Day before the proposed Exchange Date.

(e)       Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to an exchange described in this Section 5.11, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver Certificates of the applicable Received Classes to the requesting Certificateholder. The Certificate Administrator shall reduce the outstanding Certificate Balance(s) or Notional Amount(s) of the Surrendered Classes, and increase the outstanding Certificate Balance(s) or Notional Amount(s) of the Received Classes, on the Certificate Register. The Certificateholder and the Certificate Administrator shall utilize the “deposit and withdrawal system” at the Depository to effect the exchange.

(f)       The Certificate Administrator shall make the first distribution on Certificates of any Received Classes related to an exchange on the Distribution Date in the month following the month of exchange to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificates and Distribution Date. If an Exchange Date occurs in any month before the Distribution Date in such month, then any distributions to be made on such Distribution Date on Certificates of any Surrendered Classes shall be so made to the Certificateholders of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificates and such Distribution Date. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to ensure the availability in the market of the applicable Certificates to accomplish any exchange.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer herein.

Section 6.03   Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer or the Asset Representations Reviewer. (a) Subject to subsection (b) below, each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as an entity under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, and each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

(b)       Each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets (which may be limited to all or substantially all of its assets related to commercial mortgage loan servicing, asset representations reviewing or commercial mortgage surveillance, as the case may be) to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer (such Person, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in each of the foregoing cases, the “Surviving Entity”), as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper (other than an assumption agreement wherein the successor shall agree to perform the obligations of and serve as the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that with respect to such merger, consolidation or succession, Rating Agency Confirmation is received from each Rating Agency with respect to the Classes of Certificates and, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, a confirmation is received from each applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates as described in Section 3.25); provided, further, that if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor enters into a merger and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, is the surviving entity under applicable law, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall not, as a result of the merger, be required to provide a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to ratings of the Classes of Certificates or, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, a confirmation of the rating agencies that

 -360-

such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings; provided, further, that for so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan included as part of the trust in a related Other Securitization, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor notifies the Depositor in writing (a “Merger Notice”) of any such merger, consolidation, conversion or other change in form, and the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, notifies the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, in writing that the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, has discovered that such successor entity has not complied with its Exchange Act reporting obligations under any other commercial mortgage loan securitization (and specifically identifying the instance of noncompliance), then it shall be an additional condition to such succession that the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such successor entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor may remain the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, under this Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any Person that is a Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets to any Person if such Person is a Prohibited Party, except to the extent (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, is the surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer and has been and continues to be in compliance with its Regulation AB reporting obligations hereunder or (ii) the Depositor consents to such merger, consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, within sixty (60) days following the date of delivery of the Merger Notice to the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, the Depositor or depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have failed to notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in writing of the Depositor’s determination, or depositor’s determination, in the case of an Other Securitization, to grant or withhold such consent, such failure shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such consent. If the conditions to the provisions in the second preceding sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate, and if the conditions set forth in the third proviso of the third preceding sentence are not met the Trustee shall terminate, the applicable Surviving Entity’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, such termination to be effected in the manner set forth in Section 7.01.

(i)       The Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep in full effect its existence and rights as an entity under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and shall be in compliance with the laws of all jurisdictions to the extent necessary to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(ii)       Any Person into which the Asset Representations Reviewer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Asset Representations Reviewer, shall be the successor of the Asset Representations Reviewer hereunder, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of such Asset Representations Reviewer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the Trustee has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such successor or surviving Person.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent of any of the foregoing shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation and of enforcement of this indemnity, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law) or claim relating to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans, the Companion Loans or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty made by it herein; (iii) incurred by reason of bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations or duties; or (iv) in the case of the Depositor and any of its partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees and agents, incurred in connection with any violation by any of them of any state or federal securities law. In addition, absent actual fraud (as determined by a final non-appealable court order), neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator (including in its capacity as Custodian, Certificate Registrar and 17g-5 Information Provider) shall be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. Each of the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor conclusively may rely on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate,

 -362-

(b)       None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law), proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement or which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability not recoverable from the Trust; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer may in its discretion undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the Certificateholders and the holders of a Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole) taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of such Serviced Companion Loan); provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan and/or the holder of any related Companion Loan are involved, such expenses, costs and liabilities will be payable out of funds related to the applicable Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and will also be payable out of the other funds in the Collection Account if amounts on deposit with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient therefor. If any such expenses, costs or liabilities relate to a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, then any subsequent recovery on that Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, will be used to reimburse the Trust for any amounts advanced for the payment of such expenses, costs or liabilities. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loan on deposit in the Collection Account (including, without duplication, any subaccount thereof), as provided by Section 3.05(a)(xii).

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

 -367-

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

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

Section 6.07   The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer as Certificate Owner. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.

Section 6.08   The Directing Certificateholder.

(a)       Other than with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan that is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period (or with respect to the Meadowood Mall Whole Loan, at no time), for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Major Decisions for Specially Serviced Loans (other than any Excluded DCH Loan), (2) the Special

 -368-

Servicer with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans (other than any Excluded DCH Loan), as to all Major Decisions and (3) the Master Servicer to the extent the Directing Certificateholder’s consent is required by the definition of Master Servicer Decision. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, the third and fourth paragraphs of this Section 6.08(a) and Section 6.08(b), for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (such limitation not to be applicable to a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder), the Special Servicer shall only be permitted to take any of the following actions (each, a “Major Decision”) as to which the Directing Certificateholder has consented in writing within ten (10) Business Days after the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the Special Servicer’s written recommendation, which may be in the form of an Asset Status Report, and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent, which report may (in the sole discretion of the Special Servicer) take the form of an Asset Status Report (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”) (provided that if such written consent has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action):

(xi)       any acceptance of an assumption agreement or any other agreement permitting a transfer of interests in a Mortgagor or guarantor releasing a Mortgagor or guarantor from liability under a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan other than pursuant to the specific terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and for which there is no lender discretion;

(xix)       other than in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, any determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default;

provided, however, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for

 -371-

the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be); provided that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the Operating Advisor, if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer is required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any of the foregoing actions or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder (only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded DCH Loan (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect thereof. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response (which initial request shall include a Major Decision Reporting Package) from the Directing Certificateholder within 10 Business Days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with respect to such party) or Serviced Whole Loan. The Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor (a) prior to the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, promptly after the Special Servicer receives the Directing Certificateholder’s approval or deemed approval with respect to such Major Decision or (b) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Certificateholder; provided, however, that, with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan, no Major Decision Reporting Package shall be required to be delivered prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. With respect to any particular Major Decision and related Major Decision Reporting Package and any Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor a Servicing Officer with relevant knowledge regarding the related Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report. In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall also consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within 10 Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which request shall include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating

 -372-

Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event, a Consultation Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08(a) for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major Decision” with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan).

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and except as provided in the next sentence, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. With respect to such request, the Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the Special Servicer by delivering any additional information in the Master Servicer’s possession to the Special Servicer requested by the Special Servicer relating to such Major Decision. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any Major Decision and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any Major Decision.

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the first paragraph of this Section 6.08(a) or this paragraph may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master

 -373-

Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

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

The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Certificateholder (exclusive of a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in its own interests or the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class except in the case of a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in its own interests or the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, and that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced PSA including the holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced PSA over other classes of the certificates issued under the Non-Serviced PSA and/or any Class of

 -374-

Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and that the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

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

Section 6.09 Knowledge of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting in any particular capacity hereunder will not be deemed to be imputed with knowledge of (a) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in a capacity that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in any other capacity hereunder, except, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), where some or all of the obligations performed in such capacities are performed by one or more employees within the same group or division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or where the groups or

 -375-

divisions responsible for performing the obligations in such capacities have one or more of the same Responsible Officers or Servicing Officers, as applicable.

(b)       If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan) the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 25% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall terminate (and the Depositor may direct the Trustee to terminate each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice if there is a Servicer Termination Event under clause (A) in the parenthetical in Section 7.01(a)(iii) above), by notice in writing to the Affected Party, with a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Operating Advisor, all of the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Affected Party under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than as a Certificateholder or Companion Holder, if applicable); provided, however, that the Affected Party shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement through the date of such termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred. From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities and rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account or any Servicing Account (if it is the Affected Party), by the Special Servicer to the REO Account (if it

 -378-

is the Affected Party) or thereafter be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) or pursuant to Section 7.01(d) (with respect to the Special Servicer), continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances (in the case of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer) or otherwise, and it and its Affiliates and the directors, managers, officers, members, employees and agents of it and its Affiliates shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11 and Section 6.04 notwithstanding any such termination).

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

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer shall occur and be continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, the Holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the Other Trustee appointed under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. The Special Servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be (without the prior written consent of the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the person (or Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. The Special Servicer under this paragraph shall meet the eligibility requirements of Section 7.02 and the eligibility requirements of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the appointment thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.02. Any appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

(d)       Subject to the rights of the holder of any Subordinate Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate

 -379-

Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d) provided that, with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the ten (10) Business Days’ notice set forth in this Section 7.01(d) shall not apply to the related Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder’s right to terminate the Special Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without cause with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. Upon a termination of the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded DCH Loan) shall appoint a successor special servicer to assume the duties of the Special Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation and, in the case of any class of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies deliver a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. For the sake of clarity, the recommendation of replacement of the Special Servicer by the Operating Advisor and the approval of the Certificateholders of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement special servicer, provided that such replacement may not be the removed Special Servicer or its Affiliate.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.05) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction to assume the duties of the Special Servicer hereunder, (b) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and which will not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such Holders) and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and concurrently by mail, conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard, which requisite affirmative votes must be received within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum of Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer to assume the duties of the Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall include on

 -380-

each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholder’s direction to remove the Special Servicer shall not apply to any Serviced AB Whole Loan that is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period or to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

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

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced PSA remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA, by the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder.

If at any time the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (i) the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written report in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with any information the Operating Advisor

 -381-

considered relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a replacement Special Servicer (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer to assume the duties of the Special Servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which quorum, for this purpose, is the Holders of Certificates that (A) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances of such Certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio, and (B) consist of at least three Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not Risk Retention Affiliated with each other) and (ii) receipt by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i) of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Trustee shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor special servicer approved by the holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (as set forth above) and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. In the event that the Trustee does not receive at least a majority of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement or with respect to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan. For the sake of clarity, the recommendation of replacement of the Special Servicer by the Operating Advisor and the approval of the Certificateholders of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement special servicer, provided that such replacement may not be the removed Special Servicer or its Affiliate.

 -382-

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

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

(e)       The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii).

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

(g)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded DCH Loan, the Directing Certificateholder shall select an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded DCH Loan, the resigning Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint the related Excluded Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the Certificates and each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities makes the equivalent confirmation, (ii) the related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified

 -383-

Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor and Other Certificate Administrator, the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the Special Servicer that had previously acted as the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) such original Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) such original Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided that the Special Servicer shall remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

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

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

 -384-

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

 -385-

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

Section 7.03   Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b)       Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after the Certificate Administrator would be deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section 8.02(vii), the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders (and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

Section 7.04   Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), (ii) or (viii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes, and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) of Section 7.01(a) (with respect to

 -386-

obligations under Article XI) may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, subject to the rights of any affected holder of a Serviced Companion Loan under Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(f), such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.

Section 7.05   Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured.

The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

(vi)       The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, affiliates or attorneys; provided, however, that the appointment of such agents, affiliates or attorneys shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties or obligations hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may not perform any duties hereunder through any Person that is a Prohibited Party;

(vii)       For all purposes under this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of any Servicer Termination Event or Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event or any act, failure or breach of any Person upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or Certificate Administrator may be required to act unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event, act, failure or breach, as applicable, which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Certificates or this Agreement;

(xi)       Nothing herein shall require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to act in any manner that is contrary to applicable law; and

The Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited to any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall constitute the Trustee’s sole form of compensation for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee hereunder, except for the reimbursement of expenses specifically provided for herein.

A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the Trust.

(b)       If at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 (and in the case of the Certificate Administrator, Section 5.08) and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if the Trustee or Certificate Administrator (if different than the Trustee) shall fail to timely publish any report to be delivered, published or otherwise made available by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.02 and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) days, or if the Certificate Administrator fails to make distributions required pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 9.01, then the Depositor

 -394-

may remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the requesting Master Servicer, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or certificate administrator in the case of the removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust.

(c)       The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, with or without cause, remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Special Servicer and the remaining Certificateholders by the Master Servicer. In the event of any such termination without cause pursuant to this Section 8.07(c), the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, shall be responsible for all costs and expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

(d)       Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until (i) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or certificate administrator as provided in Section 8.08 and (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.

If the same party is acting as Trustee and Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, any removal of either such party in its capacity as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall also result in such party’s removal in its capacity as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and the Depositor shall appoint a successor certificate administrator and a successor trustee, in each instance meeting the eligibility requirements set forth hereunder.

Upon any succession of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator under this Agreement, the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred (including without limitation, unreimbursed Advances). No Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall be personally liable for any action or omission of any successor trustee or certificate administrator.

Upon termination of the Trust pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, at the address provided in Section 13.05 of this Agreement or to such other address designated by the Master Servicer in writing, any Mortgage Files remaining in its possession.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Upper-Tier Regular

 -402-

Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. In the event that the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(b), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited into the related REO Account). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) on the applicable Distribution Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the aggregate remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates, Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests and Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

The obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Paying Agent shall terminate with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent (i) its related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Trust Fund and (ii) no amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement remain due and owing.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their

 -403-

option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement. This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then-outstanding Certificates. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such P&I Advance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans as assets of the Trust and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.

For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, then the Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of the Class R Certificates. For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Certificateholder with the consent of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.

Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(e) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b) and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the Class of Certificates so presented and (ii) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest or the Class UR Interest, as applicable. Amounts transferred from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date, shall be distributed in termination and liquidation of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest in accordance with Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(c), Section 4.01(e) and Section 4.01(f). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section 9.01 and Section 4.01(h). The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, via e-mail, upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to this Section 9.01.

Section 9.02  Additional Termination Requirements.

 -407-

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

(h)       In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(c) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a) or

 -408-

Section 4.01(b), as applicable, to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

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

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

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

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

(m)       None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust, (iii) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or Article III of this Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust or any Trust REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the REO Account for gain unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, cause the Trust or any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

(n)       The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections

 -409-

allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to any Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Holder of a Class R Certificate, past or present. Each Holder of a Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections, and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Certificate Administrator in connection with any such elections the Certificate Administrator determines in its discretion are necessary or advisable.

(o)       The Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be held in the Grantor Trust and have been placed in the Grantor Trust through the efforts of the Underwriters. The Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, which Exchangeable Certificates, in the aggregate, will evidence 100% beneficial ownership of such assets from and after the Closing Date. Each Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests in an amount equal to the Class Percentage Interest of such Class in each such Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest.

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

Section 10.03 Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer to Cooperate with Certificate Administrator. (a) The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator within ten (10) days after the Depositor receives a request from the Certificate Administrator, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, Prepayment Assumptions and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

(b)       The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each furnish such reports, certifications and information, and upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the Certificates or the Trust and as shall be reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.

Section 10.04 Appointment of REMIC Administrators. (a) The Certificate Administrator may appoint at the Certificate Administrator’s expense, one or more REMIC Administrators, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator in

 -410-

performing the functions set forth in Section 10.01 herein. The Certificate Administrator shall cause any such REMIC Administrator to execute and deliver to the Certificate Administrator an instrument in which REMIC Administrator shall agree to act in such capacity, with the obligations and responsibilities herein. The appointment of a REMIC Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of the REMIC Administrator. Each REMIC Administrator must be acceptable to the Certificate Administrator and must be organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State and be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. In the absence of any other Person appointed in accordance herewith acting as REMIC Administrator, the Certificate Administrator hereby agrees to act in such capacity in accordance with the terms hereof. If Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Computershare Trust Company, N.A. shall be terminated as REMIC Administrator.

(b)       Any Person into which any REMIC Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which any REMIC Administrator shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any REMIC Administrator, shall continue to be the REMIC Administrator without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the REMIC Administrator.

(c)       Any REMIC Administrator may at any time resign by giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any REMIC Administrator by giving written notice of termination to such REMIC Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any REMIC Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.04, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor REMIC Administrator, in which case the Certificate Administrator shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders; provided, however, that no successor REMIC Administrator shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 10.04. Any successor REMIC Administrator upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as REMIC Administrator. No REMIC Administrator shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Certificate Administrator.

ARTICLE XI

EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING AND REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE

Section 11.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance

 -411-

by the Depositor (and any Other Depositor of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”). In connection with the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C61, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61, and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, and any Other Depositor, Other Trustee and Other Certificate Administrator of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator, and any such Other Depositor, Other Trustee or Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information (in its possession or reasonably attainable) necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), reasonably believed by the Depositor or the related Other Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor and each Other Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements. For purposes of this Article XI, to the extent that any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

Section 11.02 Succession; Subcontractors. (a) As a condition to the succession to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or to any Sub-Servicer (but only if such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2)) as servicer or sub-servicer or succession to the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, such Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or to any such Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator, the person removing and replacing the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or Certificate Administrator shall provide to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and each Other Depositor, as applicable, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such

 -412-

succession or appointment (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor), (x) written notice to the Depositor, the Other Depositor and the Other Certificate Administrator of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information relating to such successor reasonably requested by the Depositor, Other Depositor or Other Certificate Administrator in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act); provided, however that if disclosing such information prior to such effective date would violate any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Additional Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall submit such disclosure to the Depositor and the Other Depositor no later than the effective date of such succession or appointment.

(b)       Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, such Mortgage Loan Seller or such Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator or Other Depositor, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor. As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall (i) with respect to any such Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other subcontractor with which it has entered into a servicing relationship, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. With respect to any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, such Servicer shall be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer, such Servicer shall obtain from each such Servicing Function Participant and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, in each case, as and when required to be delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor, other than an Initial Sub-Servicer in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any such Subcontractor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines,

 -413-

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

(d)       In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), in each case at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or if such prior notice is violative of applicable law or any applicable confidentiality agreement, no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession) and shall furnish to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section 11.07, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

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

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

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

 -414-

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

(b)       In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 10-D, ABS-EE, 10-K or 8-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Forms 10-D, ABS-EE and 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that any previously filed Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A, Form 10-K/A or Form 8-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.03 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K is contingent upon the parties observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under Sections 11.03, 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10, 11.11 and 11.15 of this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

The Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements required to be delivered by the related Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

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

ARTICLE XII

THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER

Section 12.01Asset Review.

(a)On or prior to each Distribution Date, based either on the CREFC^® Delinquent Loan Status Report and/or the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article XII shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the reporting period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following Mortgage Loans identified below are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.” On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) in the form of Exhibit SS within two (2) Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders (with a copy to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.10 to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Holders of Certificates evidencing at least (i) a majority of those Certificateholders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within one-hundred fifty (150) days

 -440-

of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder and the other Certificateholders (the “Asset Review Notice”). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit RR (which shall be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any case within two (2) Business Days after such receipt) grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received any Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)(i)  Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1)-(5) below for all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) below for Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) below for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case, to the extent in such party’s possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, provide the following materials in electronic format to the extent in their possession to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files posted on the Secure Data Room by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.08, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

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

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

 -441-

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

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

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

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

(7)copies of any other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan that the Asset Representations Reviewer has determined are necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review and that are requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer, in the time frames and as otherwise described in clause (ii) hereof.

 (ii)In addition, in the event that, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing document(s), and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing document(s) to the extent in its possession. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such missing document only to the extent such document is in the possession of such party but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

(iii)The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset

 -442-

Representations Reviewer) and is determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”).

(iv)Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, that the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, (x) modify any Test and/or (y) modify any associated Review Materials to include any items not specified for the particular Test on Exhibit QQ (but in no event shall the modified Review Materials include materials not contemplated by the definition of “Review Materials”), in either case, only to the extent the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

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

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

(vii)The Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within fifty-six (56) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the possession of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or from the related Mortgage Loan Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the request by the Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, as described in Section 12.01(b)(ii), the

 -443-

Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents or explanations to support the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be sent by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.

(viii)The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or within the ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, (A) in the case of BSPRT Finance, against BSPRT, in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (B) in the case of Ladder, against any of LC Holdings, LC REIT and LC TRS in respect of its payment guarantee and (C) in the case of OCMF, against Oceanview Holdings, in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), which, in each case, shall be a responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 12.01(b)(x) of this Agreement.

 -444-

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

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

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

(d)The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset

 -445-

Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(e)The Asset Representations Reviewer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its asset representations reviewer portfolio, provided that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (A) is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under this Agreement, (B) assumes in writing each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the asset representations reviewer under this Agreement and (C) is not a prohibited party under this Agreement; (ii) the asset representations reviewer will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation; (iii) the rate at which each of the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee and the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (or any component thereof) is calculated may not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning asset representations reviewer will be required to be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee will be required to provide notice to each party to this Agreement and then will be the successor asset representations reviewer under this Agreement.

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

(a)The Depositor shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and shall be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00030% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

(b)As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and each Mortgage Loan that is a Delinquent Loan and is subject to an Asset Review (for purposes of this paragraph, each a “Subject Loan”), upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee equal to (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with Cut-off Date Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, but less than $40,000,000 or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $40,000,000 (any such fee, the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”). The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a

 -446-

certification to the Master Servicer that the requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b) have been met. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not deliver any such certificate unless it has invoiced payment of such amount and otherwise met the requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b), including receipt of evidence of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount. A Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have failed to pay such amount hereunder ninety (90) days after delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of an itemized invoice to such Mortgage Loan Seller by registered mail or overnight courier to the address listed in this Agreement for such Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notices in accordance with this Agreement, or ninety (90) days following attempted delivery of such invoice by registered mail or overnight courier and reasonable follow-up by telephone or e-mail. Notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer shall pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust.

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

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

Section 12.03Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. If no successor asset representations reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation.

Section 12.04Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations

 -447-

(a)An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing greater than 25% of the Voting Rights, provided that any such failure that is not curable within such thirty (30) day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial thirty (30) day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

(ii)any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

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

 -448-

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

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

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

 -449-

Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

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

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

(d)Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor, each Rating Agency and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement, without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-1-15

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

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

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [____________________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the percentage interest specified on the face hereof. The Certificates are designated as the WELLS FARGO COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE TRUST 2021-C61, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

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

This Class R Certificate represents the “residual interests” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment

A-2-5

of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. The Certificate Administrator is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) of each Trust REMIC. Each holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, consents to the Certificate Administrator making any elections allowed under the Code (a) to avoid the application of Section 6221 (or successor provision) to the Trust REMICs and (b) to avoid payment by the Trust REMICs under Section 6225 of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on a Holder of this Certificate. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to any such elections and to reasonably cooperate with the Certificate Administrator in connection with any such elections the Certificate Administrator determines in its discretion are necessary or advisable.

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

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

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

A-2-6

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

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

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

A-2-7

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

The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)          to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(v)         to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(o) or Section 5.03(p) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)          reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)         reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)        adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)        change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller, related Additional Repurchase Obligor or related guarantor under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller, related Additional Repurchase Obligor or related guarantor as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller, related Additional Repurchase Obligor or related guarantor; or

(v)         amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the

A-2-11

downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the Subordinate Companion Holder(s) for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Designated Intercreditor Agreement, without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-2-12

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

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

Re: Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C61, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61 (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2021, among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer

STATE OF	)
	)   ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

1.         I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

2.       The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC” or “Trust REMIC”) designated as the (i) “Lower-Tier REMIC” and (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

3.       The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is

Exhibit D-1-1

any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause a Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

4.        The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.        The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

6.        No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.       The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.

8.         Check the applicable paragraph:

☐         The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)         the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)        the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

Exhibit D-1-2

(iii)    the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b) of the Code may be used in lieu of the corporate income tax rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

☐      The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)      the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)     at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)    the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)    the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐      None of the above.

9.     The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

10.     The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.    The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially

Exhibit D-1-3

the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.

12.          The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.          The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.          The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

15.          The Purchaser consents to the (i) designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” (as defined in Section 6223 of the Code) of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) Certificate Administrator making any elections allowed under the Code (a) to avoid the application of Section 6221 (or successor provision) to the Trust REMICs and (b) to avoid payment by the Trust REMICs under Section 6225 of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on a Holder of Class R Certificates. The Purchaser agrees, by acquiring such certificate, to any such elections and to reasonably cooperate with the Certificate Administrator in connection with any such elections the Certificate Administrator determines in its discretion are necessary or advisable.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61 (the “Certificates”)                     

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)        No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)      The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

(3)      The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for

Exhibit D-2-1

United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Very truly yours,
(Transferor)

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

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

Exhibit P-2-3

Information to Be Held in Confidence.

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

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

You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

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

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

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

Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you been informed by

Exhibit P-2-4

written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

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

Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

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

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

You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed

Exhibit P-2-5

that no failure to or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

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

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

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

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

         ____________________

Exhibit U-1

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

(a)         Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

____    a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

____    a partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(b)         Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

(i)         The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

(ii)        The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

(iii)       The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

(iv)       The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(v)        The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

Exhibit U-2

(vi)       The defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

(vii)      The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

(viii)     The Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date, (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

(ix)       The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).

(x)       The Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first priority security interest in

Exhibit U-3

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

(c)        Certify that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.

(d)       Certify that the individual under whose hand the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.

(e)       Agree to provide copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.

Based on the requirements and qualifications set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as well as the items listed below, the Operating Advisor (in accordance with the Operating Advisor’s analysis requirements outlined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) has undertaken a limited review of the Special Servicer’s reported actions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on the loans identified in this report. Based solely on such limited review and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year on an “asset-level basis”. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer has failed to materially comply with the Servicing Standard as a result of the following material deviations.]

In addition, the Operating Advisor notes the following: [PROVIDE SUMMARY OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION].

● [ADD RECOMMENDATION OF REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICER, IF APPLICABLE]

III. List of Items that were Considered in Compiling this Report

In rendering the assessment set forth in this report, the Operating Advisor examined and relied upon the accuracy and the completion of the items listed below:

1. Any Major Decision Reporting Package that is delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

2. Reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website that is relevant to the Operating Advisor’s

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit, legal review or legal conclusion. For instance, we did not review each page of the Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), review underlying lease agreements or similar underlying documents, re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculator, visit any related property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Directing Certificateholder or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

IV. Assumptions, Qualifications Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

1. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor is (i) not required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the special servicer’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial and (ii) will not be required in the ordinary course to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion as part of that assessment.

2. In rendering our assessment herein, we have assumed that all executed factual statements, instruments, and other documents that we have relied upon in rendering this assessment have been executed by persons with legal capacity to execute such documents.

Exhibit V-3

3. Other than the receipt of any Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report that is delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer’s and Directing Certificateholder’s discussion(s) regarding any Specially Serviced Loan. The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Directing Certificateholder directly. As such, the Operating Advisor generally relied upon the information delivered to it by the Special Servicer as well as its interaction with the Special Servicer, if any, in gathering the relevant information to generate this report. The services that we perform are not designed and cannot be relied upon to detect fraud or illegal acts should any exist.

The Operating Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein or direct the actions of the Special Servicer.

5. Confidentiality and other contractual limitations limit the Operating Advisor’s ability to outline the details or substance of any communications held between it and the Special Servicer regarding any Specially Serviced Loans and certain information it reviewed in connection with its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As a result, this report may not reflect all the relevant information that the Operating Advisor is given access to by the Special Servicer.

6. There are many tasks that the Special Servicer undertakes on an ongoing basis related to Specially Serviced Loans. These include, but are not limited to, assumptions, ownership changes, collateral substitutions, capital reserve changes, etc. The Operating Advisor does not participate in any discussions regarding such actions.

7. The Operating Advisor is not empowered to speak with any investors directly. If the investors have questions regarding this report, they should address such questions to the certificate administrator through the certificate administrator’s website.

8. This report does not constitute recommendations to buy, sell or hold any security, nor does the Operating Advisor take into account market prices of securities or financial markets generally when performing its limited review of the Special Servicer as described above. The Operating Advisor does not have a fiduciary relationship with any Certificateholder or any other party or individual. Nothing is intended to or should be construed as creating a fiduciary relationship between the Operating Advisor and any Certificateholder, party or individual.

Terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Re: Access to Certain Information Regarding Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C61, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

[Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)/CWCapital Asset Management LLC (“CWCAM”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder. The Company is requesting or may from time to time request such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related mortgage loan documents.

[Wells Fargo/CWCAM] will provide the Company with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential Information”) pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and borrowers. The Company acknowledges that the

Exhibit X-1

Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Wells Fargo/CWCAM], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that [Wells Fargo/CWCAM], the [“Master Servicer”/”Special Servicer”] (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and its respective Representatives (as defined below) shall not have any liability to the Company or its Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential Information, (y) any use of the Confidential Information, or (z) [Wells Fargo/CWCAM]’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from [Wells Fargo/CWCAM]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to [Wells Fargo/CWCAM]; (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.

The Company may have access to the Confidential Information through (at [Wells Fargo/CWCAM]’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Wells Fargo/CWCAM]’s surveillance group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or any successor or replacement system (“System”). [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential Information in the event that (a) the Company or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] determines (in its sole discretion) that such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] determines that the provision, notice or access to such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company’s obligations and the restrictions applicable to the protection of the Confidential Information hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company’s access to the Confidential Information. [Wells Fargo/CWCAM]’s remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.

The Company agrees that it will not, and it shall not permit its Representatives, to disclose the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever to any other person or entity, other than its Representatives (but only to the extent necessary to accomplish the Permitted Purpose) who have a need to know the information, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order or any governmental agency or regulator. The Company acknowledges (i) its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii) that any disclosure of the Confidential Information by it or its Representatives for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose, in addition to being a breach of this letter agreement, may constitute a violation of federal and state securities laws. The Company will take reasonable measures to ensure that each Representative is advised

Exhibit X-2

of this letter agreement and agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential. The Company shall be liable for any breach of this letter agreement by its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may subsequently provide all or any part of such Confidential Information to any other person or entity that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein, but only if such person or entity confirms such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and provided that, prior to the delivery of such Confidential Information, such persons shall have executed and delivered to the Company an agreement that is substantially similar in form and substance to this agreement.

If the provisions of this Agreement are breached by the Company or its Representatives, Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] their successors and assigns, from and against any resulting loss, cost, damage or expense undertaken, paid, awarded, assessed, incurred or suffered by [Wells Fargo/CWCAM]. Company shall be liable to [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] for all court costs, reasonable and out of pocket attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] in enforcing its rights under this Agreement, recovering damages and/or obtaining other appropriate relief.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application of conflict of laws principles. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, [Wells Fargo/CWCAM] intends at all times to comply with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or qualify any of [Wells Fargo/CWCAM]’s rights or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

This agreement shall terminate with respect to the information received by the Company one year after the Company receives such information or ceases to be a Certificateholder. Company agrees that this letter agreement supersedes and replaces and survives any click-through agreement regarding confidentiality of Confidential Information agreed to in connection with accessing the System whether agreed to in accessing the System before or after signing this letter agreement.

Please have an authorized signatory countersign in the space provided below to indicate the Company’s confirmation of, and agreement to, the matters set forth herein.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “PSA”), the Asset Representations Reviewer (“Asset Representations Reviewer”) shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller only with respect to each Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth below (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in this Exhibit QQ if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the PSA or, solely with respect to a representation and warranty, the meaning set forth in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the performance of the following Tests:

(A) With respect to any representation and warranty that includes a knowledge qualifier (e.g., to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, etc.), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be responsible for any investigation or review beyond that set forth in the applicable Test related to such representation and warranty;

(B) With respect to any representation and warranty that includes the examination of an insurance policy or Title Policy, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be permitted to engage a qualified consultant to perform a review of the applicable policy, and will be allowed to rely upon the conclusions of the consultant when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

(C) The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under no duty to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion;

(D) Unless otherwise provided in the Test, the “as of” date for the testing of a representation is as of the Closing Date;

(E) Unless otherwise provided in the Test, if there is more than one version of the same document with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, the document that will be used by the Asset Representations Reviewer in testing is the document that is dated as of the Closing Date or, if none, the document closest prior to the Closing Date;

(F) With respect to each representation and warranty and its related Test(s), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account any exceptions to such

Exhibit QQ-1

representation and warranty described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and a Test pass shall be deemed to have occurred

with respect to such Test if the sole reason for not satisfying the applicable Test is caused by such exception(s);

(G) Evidence of a failure of a Test could result from (i) an affirmative determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the Test failed to achieve a Test pass, or (ii) a determination by Asset Representations Reviewer that the documentation included in the Review Materials (after making such request for any missing documents in the manner provided for in the PSA) is not sufficient to perform the Test; and

(H) A determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a Test pass or a Test failure shall not constitute a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of (i) the existence or nonexistence of a Material Defect, or (ii) whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests described in this Exhibit QQ, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures on any Delinquent Loan, even if a different set of procedures or review Materials could produce a different outcome. Notwithstanding the required Tests, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (1) Review Materials specified in the related Test and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information. The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider Unsolicited Information relevant to the Tests subject to the terms of the PSA. If the Asset Representations Reviewer considers Unsolicited Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account such Unsolicited Information, in addition to the Review Materials referred to in the applicable Test(s) procedure when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

1. Intentionally Omitted.	1	N/A	N/A
2. Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.	2a	Review the amounts listed on the original Mortgage Note and Mortgage for an indication that they match the amounts listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the amounts are the same, then such Mortgage Loan would be considered a Whole Loan. If there is more than one property then the Mortgage for each Mortgaged Property would need to be aggregated. If identified as such, it will be a Test pass.	Mortgage; Mortgage Note; Loan agreement related to the Mortgage Loan (“Loan Agreement”); Mortgage Loan guaranty; Assignment of Leases; and Environmental Indemnity Agreement (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Documents”); Mortgage Loan Schedule.
	2b	Review any notice previously delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan (collectively, the “MS Servicer Notices”) for notation of any Mortgage Note or Mortgage that was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Trustee for the non-serviced securitization trust), participation or pledge, or that the Mortgage Loan Seller did not have good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. If no such notation is found, it will be a Test pass.	MS Servicer Notices

	2d	Review the MS Servicer Notices for notation of any claim or assertion regarding the assignment to the Depositor not constituting a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML. The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the		and/or certificates of insurance) and Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if the Mortgage Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

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

 

In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust Designated Portions shall be classified as an “investment trust” under section 301.7701-4(c) of the Treasury Regulations and that the holders of the Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-5 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-S Exchangeable Certificates, the Class B Exchangeable Certificates, the Class C Exchangeable Certificates and the holders of the RR Interest shall be treated as holding undivided beneficial ownership interests in the corresponding Grantor Trust Designated Portion, under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code (such arrangement, the “Grantor Trust”). The Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the Grantor Trust remains classified as a trust and that the holders of the Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-5 Exchangeable Certificates, the Class A-S Exchangeable Certificates, the Class B Exchangeable Certificates, the Class C Exchangeable Certificates and the RR Interest continue to be the owners of their Grantor Trust Designated Portions for federal income tax purposes. The Grantor Trust shall not be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.

 

The REMIC structure set forth in this Preliminary Statement is intended to cause all of the cash flow from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on the Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interest issued hereunder. To the extent that any party hereto believes the structure to diverge from such intention (without implying any duty of any such party to identify any such ambiguity), the party or parties identifying the subject defect or ambiguity in this Agreement shall notify the other parties hereto, whereupon the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to rectify or resolve the subject defect or ambiguity to accomplish the intended result without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel), including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 13.01(a) of this Agreement, but subject to any conditions in Section 13.01. The other parties hereto agree

 

 

 

 

to reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator in connection with any amendment to this Agreement in furtherance of the foregoing.

 

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

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

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

If any Mortgage Loan Seller is unable to deliver or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note, such Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a signed lost note affidavit and appropriate indemnity and shall thereby be deemed to have satisfied the document delivery requirements of Section 2.01 and of this Section 2.02.

 

(b)       Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days after the Due Date in the month of substitution), the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files; and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Directing Certificateholder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and only with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full)) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) subject to the first proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and to relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct. With respect to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Custodial Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan together with the nature of such exception (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for filing or recording and have not been returned by the filing office or the recorder’s office).

 

(c)        The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on

(d)       Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Material Defect in any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the applicable Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the applicable Master Servicer an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the related Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the applicable Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the applicable Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies such Master Servicer that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time such Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, if the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such Material Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the

 

 -155-

 

 

Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the applicable Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), such Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into its Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b). All such funds deposited in the Collection Accounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.

 

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

 

 -156-

 

 

jurisdiction(s) where such UCC Financing Statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines.

 

 -157-

 

 

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

 

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, either Special Servicer, either Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request to the applicable Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the applicable Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a ‘15Ga-1 Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the BANK 2021-BNK37, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK37 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

 

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

 

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

 -160-

 

 

recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a Qualified Mortgage shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into its Collection Account. In the event the Special Servicer is required to enforce the Repurchase Request related to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan under this Section 2.03(b), within five (5) days of request by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a copy of the Servicing File with respect to any such Non-Specially Serviced Loan.

 

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement. In connection with any Loss of Value Payment with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide the applicable Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frames and in the manner provided in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event), with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the applicable Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the applicable Master Servicer, and reasonably required by the applicable Special Servicer to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment, to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event). The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) and not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such

 

 -161-

 

 

Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

 

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer to the extent not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided that if the Breach relates to a Joint Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of all such costs and expenses unless such Breach relates solely to the Mortgage Note contributed by such Mortgage Loan Seller. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and, upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-off Date and received by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by such Master Servicer (or by such Special Servicer to the Master Servicer who shall remit such funds) to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Article II if (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise

 

 -162-

 

 

discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement) prevented the Mortgage Loan Seller from being able to cure such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

 

Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(c)       Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following shall cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed to have a Material Defect: (i) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (ii) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (iii) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”; (iv) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (v) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; or (vi) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects

 

 -163-

 

 

previously described in sub-clauses (ii) through (vi) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation; provided, further, that no Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in sub-clauses (ii) through (vi) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5(a) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01.

 

(d)       In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the same manner as provided in Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, so as to vest in such Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan

 

 -164-

 

 

(including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 -165-

 

 

to the related Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be payable to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that such Special Servicer may waive the collection of amounts due on behalf of such Mortgage Loan Seller in its sole discretion in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 -166-

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 -167-

 

 

(iv)       Within two (2) Business Days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request made by any Person other than the applicable Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the applicable Special Servicer, indicating such Master Servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such Repurchase Request. The applicable Master Servicer shall also deliver to the applicable Special Servicer the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in such Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to such Master Servicer, and reasonably requested by the applicable Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder to the extent set forth in this Agreement for such Non-Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such Servicing File and other material, the applicable Special Servicer shall become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such Repurchase Request.

 

(l)         (i) After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder, a party to this Agreement or the Directing Certificateholder), and, if applicable, after the applicable Master Servicer sends the Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice, the Enforcing Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com). The Certificate Administrator shall make the Proposed Course of Action Notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (a “Proposed Course of Action”). The Proposed Course of Action Notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action, by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such thirty (30)-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that in the event any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) shall be compelled to follow the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures relating to the delivery of Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices described in this Section 2.03(l), (c) a statement that responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received

 

 -168-

 

 

from the Certificateholders and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received that clearly indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(l) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation shall not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation of the responses of the responding Certificateholders and whether that amount constitutes a majority. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder (other than the Holder of the RR Interest) or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days after the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration. In the event that (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicated a recommendation to undertake mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration, (b) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and (c) the Enforcing Servicer also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such additional responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners will also be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority of responding Certificateholders.

 

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

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

 

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

 

(v)       If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If there is more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders shall collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders shall be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect to a Requesting Certificateholder, any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances

 

 -170-

 

 

known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the certificate administrator’s website, and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

(vi)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) shall not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

 

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

 

(viii)    For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan or any of their respective affiliates shall be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder, to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such affiliate(s) with respect to a course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described under this Section 2.03(l).

 

(ix)      Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.03(l), the Requesting Certificateholder is entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration in its sole discretion; however, the Requesting Certificateholder shall not be entitled to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful.

 

(m)      If the Enforcing Party selects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration), the following provisions shall apply:

 

(i)        The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of mediation (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures (the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

 

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

 

 -171-

 

 

mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

(iv)      After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than 10 Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days.

 

 -172-

 

 

The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

(ix)      Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration or related responsibilities under this Agreement shall be reimbursable as additional Trust Fund expenses.

 

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

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

 

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

 

 -178-

 

 

any other Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its capacity as a Master Servicer or Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.19(a). Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19 and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan. The applicable Special Servicer shall make the property inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls (or, with respect to residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedules) and forward to the applicable Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan if efforts by such Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact shall be coordinated through and with the cooperation of the applicable Master Servicer. No provision herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer of the collectability or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loan or be construed to impair or adversely affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer (including with respect to Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances and interest accrued thereon). Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by either Master Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loans. No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

 

(b)       Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08) and of the respective Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to Section 3.20, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer, in its own name (or in the name of the Trustee and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder), is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) and the Trustee or any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan it is obligated to service under this Agreement: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, and shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments as necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or

 

 -179-

 

 

other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.18 and 6.08, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to, under or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, pledge agreements and other documents in connection with a defeasance, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments; and (iv) any or all complaints or other pleadings to initiate and/or to terminate any action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Trust in their representative capacities (except as set forth below in this paragraph). The applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall provide to the Mortgagor related to such Mortgage Loans that it is servicing any reports required to be provided to them pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) on the Closing Date, furnish to the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding, and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

 

(c)        To the extent the applicable Master Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its discretion with respect to any action that requires Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to

 

 -180-

 

 

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

 

(d)       The relationship of each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

 

(e)       Each Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents or any related Companion Loan documents, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.

 

(f)        Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the applicable Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the applicable Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee and that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor.

 

With respect to letters of credit delivered in accordance with subclause (B) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, (a) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date or such shorter period as is required by the terms of such letter of credit or other applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify the bank issuing the letter of credit that the applicable Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be the beneficiary under such letter of credit, and (b) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, the applicable Master Servicer shall present such letter of credit and the related assignment documentation delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with such subclause of the definition of “Mortgage File” to the letter of credit bank issuing such letter of credit and request

 

 -181-

The applicable Master Servicer shall otherwise use reasonable efforts to obtain such reissued letter of credit back from the issuing letter of credit bank within sixty (60) days (and in any event within ninety (90) days) following the Closing Date. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide such reasonable cooperation as requested by the applicable Master Servicer, including without limitation by delivering such additional assignment or amendment documents required by the issuing bank in order to reissue a letter of credit as provided above.

 

(g)       If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date that the letter of credit has been revised as contemplated in clause (f) above, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the applicable Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then such Master Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

 

Each Master Servicer acknowledges that any letter of credit held by it shall be held in its capacity as agent of the Trust, and if such Master Servicer sells its rights to service the applicable Mortgage Loan, such Master Servicer shall assign the applicable letter of credit to the Trust or (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer to such party as such Special Servicer may instruct, in each case at the expense of the applicable Master Servicer. Each Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trust for any loss caused by the ineffectiveness of such assignment.

 

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

 

 -182-

 

 

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

 

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

 

(k)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being acknowledged that neither the Master Servicers nor the Special Servicers shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party); provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while the related Serviced Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund shall be payable out of the Trust Fund and the applicable Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after the date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so long as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) has not been entered into, the applicable Master Servicer shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Servicing Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in the case of a Servicing Advance that

 

 -183-

 

 

needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by such Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by such Master Servicer hereunder.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(o)       In connection with the securitization of any Serviced Companion Loan (in each case, only while it is a Serviced Companion Loan), upon the request of (and at the expense

 

 -184-

 

 

of) a related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its designee), each of the applicable Master Servicer (if such Serviced Companion Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan), the applicable Special Servicer (if such Serviced Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan) and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Serviced Companion Noteholder in attempting to cause the related Mortgagor to provide information relating to the related Whole Loan, and that such Serviced Companion Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to such Other Securitization.

 

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

 

(q)       Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property, except, in the case of an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, any such indebtedness as to which the NCB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been satisfied, which indebtedness may be secured by a lien on the related Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from or otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Mortgagor as though the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the Servicing Standard.

The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that it is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that such

 

 -185-

 

 

Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, has, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Certificateholder; provided, further, that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights with respect to the foregoing waivers in relation to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder. For the avoidance of doubt, the right to waive any Penalty Charge shall be provided to both the applicable Master Servicer and applicable Special Servicer individually and not cumulatively (in total).

 

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

(c)       To the extent consistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the related Intercreditor Agreement) and applicable law, the applicable Master Servicer shall apply all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds it receives on a day other than the Due Date to amounts due and owing under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan as if such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received on the Due Date immediately succeeding the month in which Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

 

(d)       In the event that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer receives Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee and the

 

 -190-

 

 

Certificate Administrator two (2) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date. None of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).

 

(e)       With respect to any Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which the related Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter of credit related to obtaining certain performance objectives, such as targeted debt service coverage levels or leasing criteria with respect to the Mortgaged Property as a whole or particular portions thereof, if the mortgagee has the discretion under the applicable Mortgage Loan documents to retain the cash or letter of credit (or the proceeds of such letters of credit) as additional collateral if the relevant conditions to release are not satisfied, then the related Master Servicer may continue to hold such escrows or letters of credit (or the proceeds of such letters of credit) as additional collateral or use such funds to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (to the extent the related Mortgage Loan documents allow such action), unless holding or application of such funds would otherwise be inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan documents or the Servicing Standard.

 

(f)        Promptly following the Closing Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan and, with respect to the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, promptly following receipt of notice in connection with the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (with a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating that, as of such date, the Trustee is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master Servicer to remit to the applicable Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the applicable Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. The applicable Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Accounts all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property.

 

Section 3.03      Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.  (a) Each Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments received by it shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholders collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify the respective interests of any noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion Loan documents, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan

documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the applicable Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the applicable Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the applicable Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the applicable Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the applicable Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

 

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

 

 -192-

 

 

applicable, that it is responsible for servicing hereunder, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

 

(c)       In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the applicable Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after such Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid and (ii) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The applicable Special Servicer shall give the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which such Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis provided, further, that the applicable Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The applicable Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the applicable Special Servicer, in which case such Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The applicable Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, such Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable Master Servicer a request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in such Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as such Master Servicer may reasonably request, and such Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse such Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by such Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Special Servicer. Upon the applicable Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the applicable Special Servicer of any

 

 -193-

 

 

Servicing Advance and payment to such Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, such Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as such Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, such Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Servicing Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time such Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the applicable Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of such Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if such Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by such Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The applicable Master Servicer shall notify such Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall instead be reimbursed to such Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

 

Any request by a Special Servicer that the applicable Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by such Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and such Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on such Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the applicable Special Servicer shall report to the applicable Master Servicer if such Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by such Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Such Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, and such determination shall be binding upon such Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of such Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the applicable Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Other Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. Any such determination by the applicable Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be binding on the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal

 

 -194-

 

 

balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans, related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, so permit. If a Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, the Master Servicers shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicers shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the applicable Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the applicable Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in its Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the applicable Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the applicable Special Servicer has notified the applicable Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Companion Holders), all as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Companion Loans). The applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make servicing advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for nonrecoverable servicing advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(d)       In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance out of the applicable Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer and then the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be and in that order, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the applicable Collection Account interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the

 

 -195-

 

 

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

 

(e)        To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the applicable Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the applicable Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the applicable Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the applicable Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the date as of which actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

(v)       any amounts required to be transferred from the applicable REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c);

 

(vi)      any amounts required to be deposited by either Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in its Collection Account; and

 

(vii)     any amounts required to be deposited by either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in connection with losses resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket hazard or master single interest policy.

 

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

 

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, assumption fees, modification fees, extension fees, defeasance fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks returned for insufficient funds or other amounts either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer would be entitled to retain as additional servicing

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

 

Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the applicable Special Servicer shall remit within two (2) Business Days of properly identified and available amounts to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into the applicable Collection Account, in accordance with this Section 3.04(a).

Funds in the Companion Distribution Account shall be held for the benefit of the related Serviced Companion Noteholders.

Section 3.06      Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund.  (a) Each Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining its Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Master Servicer (for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”), each Special Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining its REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund (also for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”) to invest or if it is such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein, only in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any funds held in an Investment Account shall be held in the name of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, on behalf of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Master Servicer), each Special

 

 -214-

 

 

Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Special Servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous physical possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in such Collection Account, such Companion Distribution Account, such Servicing Accounts, such Loss of Value Reserve Fund or such REO Account, as applicable, that is either (i) a “certificated security,” as such term is defined in the UCC (such that the Trustee shall have control pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC) or (ii) other property in which a secured party may perfect its security interest by physical possession under the UCC or any other applicable law. In the case of any Permitted Investment held in the form of a “security entitlement” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC), each Master Servicer or each Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall take or cause to be taken such action as the Trustee deems reasonably necessary to cause the Trustee to have control over such security entitlement. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the applicable Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Master Servicer) or the applicable Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Special Servicer) shall:

 

(i)        consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) all amounts then payable thereunder and (b) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

 

(ii)       demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

 

(b)       Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the applicable Master Servicer to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the applicable Master Servicer to the extent (with respect to Servicing Accounts) not required to be paid to the related Mortgagor and shall be subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at its direction, in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.05(a), as the case may be. Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the applicable Special Servicer, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each period from and including any Distribution Date to and including the immediately succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the applicable Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.14(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment (as to which the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been entitled to any Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, and on deposit in any of the

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

 

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

 

Section 3.07      Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.  (a) Each Master Servicer (with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be). If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing Advance, each Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or each Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined (provided that any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially reasonable rates shall be made (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing

 

 -216-

 

 

Certificateholder, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, and (iii) with respect to any REO Property and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (pursuant to Section 6.08(a) or, in each case, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan) and, after consultation by the applicable Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party)). Such determination shall be made by the Master Servicer (with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by such Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or such Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan); provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, such Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, such Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, a Master Servicer shall be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan)) (i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, (iii) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (or, in each case, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the applicable Special Servicer with the consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder) and (iv) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. Each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the applicable Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, such Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO

 

 -217-

 

 

Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless such Special Servicer determines ((i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, and (iii) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to the applicable Special Servicer, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (or, in each case, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder)) that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the applicable Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days’ prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by a Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other than REO Properties and other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by such Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the applicable Collection Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and

 

 -218-

 

 

Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by a Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the applicable Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no Master Servicer shall be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the applicable Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions; provided that such Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such policies contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, notify the applicable Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon such Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. In addition, upon the written request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any individual triggering event, the applicable Special Servicer will be required to consult on a non-binding basis pursuant to Section 6.08(a) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) within the same time period as it would obtain consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any such determination, by such Special Servicer, of an Acceptable Insurance Default. If the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, such Special Servicer (with respect to such determination made by the Special Servicer) shall notify the applicable Master Servicer and such Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. Each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. Each Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining

 

 -219-

 

 

whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, each Master Servicer or each Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of any Companion Loan, and/or (solely with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consulting (on a non-binding basis) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure and such Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

 

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

 

(ii)        If either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single interest or force-placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer naming such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss payee, then to the extent such

 

 -220-

 

 

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

 

(c)       Each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors or omissions. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). Each Special Servicer and each Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions insurance policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

 

(d)       At the time the applicable Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), such Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by such Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such

 

 -221-

 

 

coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, such Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.

 

(e)       During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the applicable Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by such Special Servicer prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party)) and, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder in accordance with and to the extent provided in Section 6.08 (in either such case, in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

(f)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.07, so long as the long-term debt obligations or the deposit account or claims-paying ability of the applicable Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the applicable Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A3” by Moody’s or “A-” by Fitch (if rated by Fitch), such Master Servicer (or its public parent) or such Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligations under this Section 3.07.

 

(g)       Each of the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

 

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

 

(i)        provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other

 

 -222-

 

 

transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

 

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

 

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter does not involve a Major Decision) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter involves a Major Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that if such matter is a Major Decision, (i) the applicable Special Servicer (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder has obtained the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under Section 6.08(a), (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (C) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (x) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (y) a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (provided that in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C) such consent shall be deemed given or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation, as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the applicable Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, and reasonably available to such Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregated Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (z) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to

 

 -223-

 

 

Section 3.25), provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (y) and (z) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

 

With respect to any “due-on-sale” matter described above that is a Major Decision related to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, Specially Serviced Loans; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, all Mortgage Loans, within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Major Decision.

 

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

 

If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee, provided that certain conditions contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied.

 

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

 

(i)        provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any

 

 -224-

 

 

additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

 

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

 

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter does not involve a Major Decision) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter involves a Major Decision), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that, if such matter is a Major Decision, (i) (A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, no Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the matter involves a Major Decision, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder shall have been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), and (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (C) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (x) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (y) a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (provided that in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C) such consent shall be deemed given or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation, as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the applicable Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, and reasonably available to such Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, has obtained Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) if such Mortgage Loan (A) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the Stated Principal Balance of the outstanding Mortgage Loans or (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) or (C) has a debt service coverage ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed

additional lien) or (D) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (E) has a Stated Principal Balance greater than $20,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

 

With respect to any “due-on-encumbrance” matter described above that is a Major Decision related to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest, upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, Specially Serviced Loans; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, all Mortgage Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to any transfer or assumptions provided for in clause (xiv) or (xvi) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision” or any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiv), (xv) or (xvi) of the definition thereof), within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Major Decision.

 

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the applicable Special Servicer shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

 

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph or in Section 3.08(a) shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the applicable Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

 

If any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee, provided that certain conditions contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to all Non-Specially

 

 -226-

 

 

Serviced Loans) and the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied.

 

After receiving a request for any matter described in Section 3.08(a) or this Section 3.08(b) that constitutes a consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan as to which such matter involves a Major Decision, the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide the applicable Special Servicer with written notice of any such request for such matter, and, unless the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer mutually agree that such Master Servicer shall process such request, such Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and such Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with regard to such request or due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance, except as provided in the next sentence. The applicable Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the applicable Special Servicer by delivering any additional information in such Master Servicer’s possession to such Special Servicer requested by such Special Servicer relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause. If the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer mutually agree that the applicable Master Servicer shall process such request, the applicable Master Servicer will be required to provide the applicable Special Servicer with such Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis, to the extent such Master Servicer is recommending approval, and all information in such Master Servicer’s possession that may be reasonably requested in order to grant or withhold such consent by the applicable Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder or other person with consent or consultation rights; provided that in the event that such Special Servicer does not respond within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such written recommendation and analysis and all such reasonably requested information, plus the time period provided to the Directing Certificateholder or other relevant party under this Agreement and, if applicable, any additional time period provided to a Companion Holder under a related Intercreditor Agreement, such Special Servicer’s consent to such matter shall be deemed granted.

 

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

 

(d)       Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicers nor the Special Servicers shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.25) and, with respect to a Whole

Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

 

(e)       [RESERVED].

 

(f)        For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause other than in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) through (d) hereof or, with respect to an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, in compliance with the provisions of the following paragraph. In the case of a Special Servicer, no such waiver or consent that constitutes a Major Decision shall be made without (x) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained if and to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under Section 6.08(a), (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, after having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) or (z) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, after having consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a).

 

(g)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of whether a particular NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan contains specific provisions regarding the incurrence of subordinate debt, or prohibits the incurrence of subordinate debt, or requires the consent of the mortgagee in order to incur subordinate debt, the NCB Master Servicer may, nevertheless, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, without the need to obtain any consent or approval of, or to consult with, the Directing Certificateholder hereunder (and without the need to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation), permit the related Mortgagor to incur subordinate debt if the NCB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been met; provided that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the NCB Master Servicer shall not waive any right it has, or grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, in accordance with any related “due-on-encumbrance” clause under any Mortgage Loan, pursuant to this paragraph, unless in any such case, all associated costs and expenses are covered without any expense to the Trust.

 

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

 -228-

 

 

or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the applicable Special Servicer. The applicable Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholders’ and the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s respective rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless such Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance, and such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the applicable Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by such Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

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

 

(i)        such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by such Special Servicer; or

(ii)     such Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

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

 

(i)       such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

 

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

 

The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance, unless it is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be withdrawn in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement by the applicable Master Servicer from its Collection Account, including from the Companion Distribution Account (such withdrawal to be made from amounts on deposit therein that are otherwise payable on or allocable to such Serviced Whole Loan)); and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the applicable Special Servicer shall, except with respect to any Companion Loan and any Environmental Assessment ordered after such Mortgage Loan has

 

 -230-

 

 

been paid in full, perform such additional environmental testing at the expense of the Trust as it deems necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied. With respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, the applicable Master Servicer and, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the applicable Special Servicer (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall review and be familiar with the terms and conditions relating to enforcing claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim or action must be taken (including delivering any notices to the insurer and using reasonable efforts to perform any actions required under such policy) under each environmental insurance policy in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee to receive the maximum proceeds available under such policy for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests).

 

(d)      If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 4 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 5 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the applicable Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case, (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the applicable Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party ((A) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (B) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the applicable Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of

 

 -231-

 

 

the Trust; provided that the applicable Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 3.10   Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), or the receipt by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special

 

 -232-

 

 

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

 

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

 

(c)       Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the applicable Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the applicable Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note (including any note evidencing a related Companion Loan) or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The applicable Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such

 

 -233-

 

 

documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Trustee shall not be required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.

 

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

 

Section 3.11   Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, each Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA) for which it acts as a master servicer. As to each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, except that if such Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan and such Serviced Whole Loan continues to be serviced and administered under this Agreement notwithstanding such Liquidation Event, then the applicable Servicing Fee shall continue to accrue and be payable as if such Liquidation Event did not occur. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). Each Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any applicable Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a).

 

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

 

 -234-

 

 

Each Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in its Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor and any related Companion Loan for which it acts as Master Servicer: (i) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that are Master Servicer Decisions; provided, that if any such matter involves a Major Decision (other than with respect to a Payment Accommodation or a Government-Sponsored Relief Modification) (regardless of whether it relates to a Master Servicer Decision), then such Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such Excess Modification Fees; provided, however, that no Master Servicer shall be entitled to any COVID Forbearance Fees with respect to a Payment Accommodation or any fees or other charges with respect to a Government-Sponsored Relief Modification; (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received on any Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent the applicable Master Servicer is processing the underlying transaction and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees in connection with a defeasance that the applicable Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement); and (iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees) or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) relating to Master Servicer Decisions; provided, that if any such matter involves a Major Decision (regardless of whether it relates to a Master Servicer Decision), then such Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees. In addition, the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any charges for beneficiary statements or demands (to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands are prepared by the applicable Master Servicer) and other customary charges, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds (relating to the accounts held by such applicable Master Servicer) and reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, in each case only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in its Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the applicable Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in its Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in its Servicing Accounts which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excesses and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls

 

 -235-

 

 

collected on the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments. The applicable Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of its Collection Account and the applicable Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

 -236-

 

 

A Liquidation Fee shall be payable to each Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to which such Master Servicer is acting as Enforcing Servicer and obtains Liquidation Proceeds described in clauses (iv) or (vii) of the definition thereof.

 

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

 

(c)       Each Special Servicer shall be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of

 

(i)       100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans, 100% of COVID Forbearance Fees related to any Payment Accommodation and 100% of any fees or other charges related to any Government-Sponsored Relief Modification,

 

(ii)      100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent such Special Servicer processes the underlying transaction,

 

(iii)     100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees, or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Specially Serviced Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor on Specially Serviced Loans,

 

(iv)     100% of assumption fees and other similar fees received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans,

 

(v)     50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees and defeasance fees) received with respect to any Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced

 

 -237-

 

 

Mortgage Loans, but including any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s)) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent that the matter involves a Major Decision (other than with respect to a Payment Accommodation or a Government-Sponsored Relief Modification),

 

(vi)     with respect to the accounts held by such applicable Special Servicer, 100% of charges by such Special Servicer collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, and

 

(vii)    100% of charges for beneficiary statements and demand charges actually paid by the Mortgagors to the extent such beneficiary statements or demand charges are prepared by the applicable Special Servicer,

 

shall be promptly paid to the applicable Special Servicer by the applicable Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the applicable Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date). In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. Each Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the applicable Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount received by the applicable Special Servicer; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) being equal to $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to the Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicers shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the applicable Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or

 

 -238-

 

 

resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. If the applicable Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The applicable Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to (a) each Non-Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which the Special Servicer acts as the Enforcing Servicer, (b) each Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), (c) each REO Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the applicable Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and (d) each Mortgage Loan repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller or for which a Loss of Value Payment was paid, in each case, subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the applicable Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Companion Loan, the Liquidation Fee, Workout Fee and Special Servicing Fees, if any, will be computed as provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement or to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement is silent or refers to this Agreement or indicates such fees are paid in accordance with this Agreement, as provided herein as though such Companion Loan were a Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.11(b), each Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. The applicable Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the REO Account, and the applicable Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof (other than a split fee with respect to Penalty Charges), the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each have the right in their sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided, that (A) neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer will have the right to reduce or

elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee will not have any right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the applicable Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the applicable Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the applicable Special Servicer would have been entitled if the applicable Master Servicer had charged a fee and the applicable Master Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the applicable Special Servicer. Similarly, if the applicable Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the applicable Master Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the applicable Master Servicer would have been entitled if the applicable Special Servicer had charged a fee and the applicable Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such fee charged by the applicable Master Servicer.

Penalty Charges (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which shall be payable as additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced PSA) remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the applicable Master Servicer, if and to the extent accrued while such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan was a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, and to the applicable Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on such Mortgage Loan during the period such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan. Any Penalty Charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall be distributed between the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on such Master Servicer’s and such Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, Penalty Charges with respect to any Companion Loan will be allocated pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor

With respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if such Special Servicer were being terminated as the Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer were replacing such Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

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

 

(g)       Pursuant to the CREFC^® License Agreement, CREFC^® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC^® may provide to the Master Servicers in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis.

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. A Master Servicer and a Special Servicer may

 

 -247-

 

 

disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. A Master Servicer or a Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

(i)        None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the applicable Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the applicable Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the applicable Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the applicable Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the applicable Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, servicing operations in general; provided that such Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans, to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website or (z) the Rating Agency confirms that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates; provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered under this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.13(i).

Section 3.14   Title to REO Property; REO Account. (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired (directly or through a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) and thus becomes REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holders, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan. REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.14. Each Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless such Special Servicer either (i) applies for a qualifying extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in then-applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains

 

 -262-

 

 

for the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which acquisition occurred will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. If the applicable Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, such Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by such Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection Accounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

 

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

 

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

 

 -263-

 

 

applicable Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to such Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, as applicable, on such date. Such Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts as instructed by such Special Servicer on the Determination Date (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date) for the related Distribution Date.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 -264-

 

 

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

 

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the applicable Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the applicable Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event)) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.

 

(b)       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Special Servicer shall:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 -265-

 

 

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

 

(iii)      any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the applicable Special Servicer upon receipt;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 -266-

 

 

(ii)       If any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) or the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(iii)      If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, or if the related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the applicable Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis, if and when the applicable Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer will be entitled to sell ((i) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) after consulting with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), in each case, provided such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (and provided that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation fee), the applicable Special Servicer will be entitled to the liquidation fee that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer would have otherwise been entitled to in connection with the sale of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Each Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than in respect of any Excluded Loan as to such party) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, the applicable Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan.

 

 -267-

 

 

(iv)      (A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the applicable Special Servicer for such price), the applicable Special Servicer shall solicit offers and, subject to sub-clause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by such Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Loan, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror), the Trustee shall determine whether the offer constitutes a fair price unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (x) it is the highest offer received and (y) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the applicable Master Servicer.

 

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

 

 -268-

 

 

(B)      The applicable Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the applicable Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, subject to the limitations on consultation set forth in and in accordance with Section 6.08(b) (in each case, unless a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender). In addition, the applicable Special Servicer may accept a lower offer from any Person other than an Affiliate of such Special Servicer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the applicable Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of such Special Servicer. The applicable Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

 

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

 

(b)       (i) The applicable Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan). The applicable Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such sale shall be a sale of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan), if and when the applicable Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the related Companion Holders. Each Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer, each Companion Holder, the Certificate

Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party ((A) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party and (B) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Purchase Price and its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (ii) sell any REO Property, in which case such Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the Servicing Standard, the applicable Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or an Affiliate of such Special Servicer, or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.

 

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

 

(iii)      The Special Servicers shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if such Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, such Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the applicable Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of such Special Servicer.

 

(iv)      In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert

 

 -270-

 

 

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

 

(v)      Subject to the Servicing Standard, the applicable Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

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

 

(d)      With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the applicable Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the applicable Special Servicer shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to such Special Servicer in writing. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder as to whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for a Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the applicable Special Servicer unless the offeror is an Interested Person and by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person and the offer is less

 

 -271-

 

 

than the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the applicable Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the applicable Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the applicable Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the applicable Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.

 

(e)       (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, with respect to each Serviced AB Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Subordinate Companion Holder will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable. Such right of such Subordinate Companion Holder shall be given priority over any provision described in this Section 3.16 as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. If the related Mortgage Loan or

 

 -272-

 

 

related REO Property is purchased by such Subordinate Companion Holder, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan will no longer be subject to this Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(c)     Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Accounts and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement

 

 -273-

 

 

with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Master Servicer to be received until the end of such Collection Period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or in respect of Mortgage Loans deposited in the applicable Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which shall mean that (i) the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (i) above, or (iii) in the case of a Master Servicer, it has not timely received from the Trustee information required by such Master Servicer to determine whether to defer reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence apply, the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give the 17g-5 Information Provider a notice for posting of the anticipated reimbursement as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding or second preceding sentence shall in no way affect the applicable Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by this Section 3.17(c).

 

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this Section 3.17(c) or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.17(c) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such

 

 -274-

 

 

Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines, in its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement, then such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the applicable Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The applicable Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as the case may be, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over such Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.17(c) or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this Section 3.17(c).

 

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

 

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

 

(d)      With respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), if the related loan documents permit the lender to (but do not require the lender to), at its option, prior to an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), apply amounts 

 

 -275-

 

 

held in any reserve account as a prepayment or hold such amounts in a reserve account, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may not apply such amounts as a prepayment, and will instead continue to hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account, unless not applying those amounts as a prepayment would be a violation of the Servicing Standard. Such amount may be used, if permitted under the loan documents, to defease the loan, or may be used to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), or for other purpose consistent with the Servicing Standard and the loan documents, upon a subsequent default.

 

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

 

Section 3.18   Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.  (a) The applicable Special Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and all such matters that involve a Major Decision for all Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans, and the applicable Master Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that, in either case, is not a Specially Serviced Loan and does not involve a Major Decision. The applicable Master Servicer and applicable Special Servicer may mutually agree that a modification, waiver, amendment or consent that constitutes a Major Decision shall be processed by the applicable Master Servicer, subject to the applicable Special Servicer’s consent. Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i), Section 3.18(m) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder, as applicable, to advise or consult with the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), the applicable Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan (and the applicable Special Servicer shall not consent to any such modification, waiver or amendment by the applicable Master Servicer) that would constitute a Major Decision without (x) (i) prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained by the applicable Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a) or (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a); and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a) shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured

 

 -276-

 

 

solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease, ten (10) years, prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, (1) the applicable Special Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party), with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Special Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, consult with the Directing Certificateholder and (z) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in each case, pursuant to the process described in Section 6.08(a).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the applicable Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, without the consent of the applicable Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder, may modify or amend the terms of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

 

Any fees or other charges charged by the applicable Special Servicer in connection with processing any Payment Accommodation with respect to any Mortgage Loan or

 

 -277-

 

 

Serviced Whole Loan (in the aggregate with each other such Payment Accommodation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan), in each case as a result of the COVID-19 emergency, shall not exceed an amount equal to 0.30% of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (“COVID Forbearance Fees”) (excluding attorneys’ fees and third party expenses) and shall only be borne by the borrower, not the Trust.

 

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

 

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall forward such request to the applicable Special Servicer and, unless the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer mutually agree that such Master Servicer shall process such request, such Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and, except as provided in the next sentence, such Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. With respect to such request, the applicable Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the applicable Special Servicer by delivering any additional information in the applicable Master Servicer’s possession to the applicable Special Servicer requested by the applicable Special Servicer relating to such Major Decision. The applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and/or analysis with respect to any Major Decision. If the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer mutually agree that such Master Servicer will (subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of such Special Servicer) process a request with respect to a Major Decision and such Master Servicer is recommending approval of such request, such Master Servicer will prepare and submit its written analysis and recommendation to such Special Servicer with all information in the possession of such Master Servicer that such Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases such

 

 -278-

 

 

Special Servicer will be entitled (subject to any applicable consultation rights of the Operating Advisor or any applicable consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder or any applicable consultation rights of any related Companion Holders) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver, amendment or other action that constitutes a Major Decision. In addition, the applicable Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the Mortgagor under a Ground Lease where the collateral for the Mortgage Loan is the Ground Lease, and such Special Servicer will determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the Trust as lender should cure any Mortgagor defaults relating to Ground Leases. Any costs relating to any such cure of a Mortgagor default relating to a Ground Lease shall be paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

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

 

(b)       If the applicable Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the applicable Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of such Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the applicable Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (w) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x) (a) the approval of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Major Decision, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Loan as to such party (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in Section 6.08, and (b) with respect to any Major Decision in respect of a Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, upon consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party as provided in Section 6.08, and (y) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, any rights of the related Subordinate Companion Holder to consent to such modification, waiver or amendment and (z) additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, to advise or consult with the applicable Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the

related Intercreditor Agreement; provided that with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, the related Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent or consultation rights, and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no consultation rights, regarding the matter; provided, further, that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the applicable Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

 

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

 

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

 

The applicable Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Loan for which it is acting as special servicer if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of

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

 

(d)      To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a), and Section 6.08), the applicable Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18 if such matter constitutes a Master Servicer Decision) or the applicable Special Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision or relates to a Specially Serviced Loan) may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. In making this determination, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan.

 

(e)       Subject to Section 3.18(c), the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as the

(f)       All modifications (including extensions), waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans and/or Companion Loans entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be in writing, signed by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the related Mortgagor (and by any guarantor of the related Mortgage Loan, if such guarantor’s signature is required by the applicable Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard).

 

(g)      With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18, the applicable Special Servicer shall notify the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, other than following the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), the applicable Companion Holder (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the applicable master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) (unless, with respect to a holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable), the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof.

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

If a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, if both a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect), the applicable Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)). The Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the applicable Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The applicable Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and the

 

 -294-

 

 

Directing Certificateholder (in each case, if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) in connection with the applicable Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The applicable Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)), to the extent the applicable Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)). Promptly upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued) or notice that the applicable Special Servicer has decided not to revise such Asset Status Report, as applicable.

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

 

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

If the Directing Certificateholder affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the applicable Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder approves such draft summary; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved of the draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the applicable Special Servicer prior to such 20th Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any time the applicable Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Certificateholder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the

The applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the applicable Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of each Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the applicable Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the applicable Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the applicable Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such

 

 -298-

 

 

interest to be allocable between the applicable Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement.

The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee and the Depositor (and such Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that a Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

 

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

 

(c)       As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each of its Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the applicable Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The applicable Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it pursuant to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

 

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

 

(e)       Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the applicable Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the applicable Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the applicable Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

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

 

(i)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Special Servicer shall enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement that provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the applicable Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

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

 

(e)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the applicable Special Servicer shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined

in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by the applicable Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the applicable Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, such Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if such Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the applicable Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

 

(f)       Each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be) annual meetings with the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer at the offices of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

 

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

 

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

Section 3.25   Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) attempting and/or required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again (which may be through direct communication). The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the RAC Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such RAC Requesting Party may, but shall not be obligated to send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.10(d).

 

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

 

 -309-

 

 

not publicly cited servicing concerns with respect to the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by such replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)      With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as to which there exists Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the related Whole Loan or any related REO Property (including, but not limited to, the replacement of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or a sub-servicer) (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then such action will also require delivery of a confirmation of each Companion Loan Rating Agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency

 

 -310-

 

 

Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) as a condition precedent to such action, which confirmation shall be sought by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action.

 

Section 3.26   The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) all information made available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (A) that relates to any Specially Serviced Loan, and (B) that is contained in the CREFC^® Servicer Watch List prepared by the applicable Master Servicer and (ii) each Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the applicable Special Servicer.

 

(b)       The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as Privileged Information received from the applicable Special Servicer or Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report), subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the applicable Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

 

(c)       (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating Advisor by such Special Servicer, including each Asset Status Report delivered during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if any Mortgage Loans were Specially Serviced Loans during the prior calendar year) deliver to the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Special Servicer and the 17g-5 Information Provider within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year for which a Control Termination Event was continuing as of December 31, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans that the applicable Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement; provided, further, however, that in the event the applicable Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to such Special Servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance in

 

 -311-

 

 

respect of such Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(c), each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the applicable Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the applicable Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions); provided that the Operating Advisor shall not be required to report on any instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the applicable Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, to be immaterial. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)); provided, however, that the applicable Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the applicable Special Servicer. The Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be prepared on the basis of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, taking into account the applicable Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of the items required to be reviewed by it pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor with respect to any calendar year as to which no Final Asset Status Report was prepared by the applicable Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property.

 

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

(d)      Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both a Control Termination Event and a related AB Control Appraisal Period), the applicable Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount and net present value calculations used in the applicable Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Operating Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not opine on or take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations (except that if the Operating Advisor discovers a material mathematical error contained in such calculations, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer of such error).

 

(e)       (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, and with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event and an AB Control Appraisal Period, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the applicable Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amount (if the applicable Special Servicer has calculated any such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount) or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the applicable Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information that is either in the applicable Special Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the applicable Special Servicer and reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

 

(ii)       In connection with this Section 3.26(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (if calculated by the applicable Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The applicable Master Servicer shall cooperate with such Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by such Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount that is either in such Master Servicer’s possession or, solely with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by such Master Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the

 

 -313-

 

 

Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply and shall provide such parties prompt written notice of its determination.

 

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consultation duties of the Operating Advisor set forth in this Agreement shall not be permitted to be exercised by the Operating Advisor with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) and a related AB Control Appraisal Period.

 

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor will be limited to an after-the-action review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Final Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the applicable Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the Operating Advisor), and, therefore, it shall have no specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, lockbox management, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions and other similar actions that such Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement.

 

(g)       The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all labeled Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace the applicable Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the applicable Special Servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and other than any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor.

 

(h)       Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating

 

 -314-

 

 

Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).

 

(i)        As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and each REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. In addition, the Depositor shall pay the Operating Advisor a fee of $5,000 (the “Operating Advisor Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date.

 

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 3.26(d) and/or 6.04(b), such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the applicable Collection Account as provided by Section 3.26(e). Each successor operating advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

 

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Accounts as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates has not been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such Certificates, only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents, and in no event will it take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee. The applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or consultation rights in its capacity as operating advisor with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property, (ii) any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both an AB Control Appraisal Period and a Control Termination Event or (iii)

 

 -315-

 

 

any Servicing Shift Whole Loan or related REO Property; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

 

(j)        After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor), (ii) payment by such requesting Holders to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmations will be obtained by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of such Holders and will not constitute an additional expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), the Trustee shall immediately replace the Operating Advisor with the replacement Operating Advisor.

 

(k)       After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall promptly terminate the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination shall be effective until a successor operating advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. No such termination shall terminate, change, reduce, or otherwise modify the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor that accrued prior to such termination, including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicers, the Master Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Depositor, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, any Companion Holder and the Certificateholders.

 

(l)        The Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event hereunder may waive such Operating

 

 -316-

 

 

Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Trustee of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event by certificateholders, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

 

(m)      Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Operating Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.26; provided, further, that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

 

(n)       The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

 

(o)       In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor shall terminate without payment of any termination fee (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). In connection with any termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o), no successor operating advisor shall be appointed. Upon receipt of written notice of such acts by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall provide the Operating Advisor with prompt notice upon its termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o).

 

(p)       In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.26(i) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

Section 3.30   Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.

 

(a) If a Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller”) repurchases the Mortgage Note(s) (as such term is

 

 -322-

 

 

defined in this Section 3.30(a)) (a “Repurchased Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase the Mortgage Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.30 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 13.01(l), of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth in this Section 3.30 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or more of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased from the Trust and at least one other Mortgage Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 3.30, Section 13.01(l) and Section 13.08(a) only, “Mortgage Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, clauses (b)–(j) below shall not apply, and the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall continue to govern the relationship between the related Mortgage Notes as if each related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable. With respect to any other Joint Mortgage Loan, clauses (b)–(j) below shall apply to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

 

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

 

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

 

 -323-

 

 

shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the applicable Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this Section 3.30 shall be allocated to each related Mortgage Note pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof.

 

(ii)       If the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive from such Master Servicer an amount equal to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the applicable Mortgage Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Mortgage Notes pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof. In no event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Mortgage Loan or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

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

 

(iv)      With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder on a pari passu basis. Funds collected by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to holders of promissory notes comprising Serviced Whole Loans that are pari passu in right of payment. Compensation shall be paid to the applicable Master

 

 -324-

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(e)       With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder and any consultation rights of the Operating Advisor), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all decisions and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable Mortgage Loan documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as

 

 -325-

 

 

applicable, may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related Mortgagor on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 3.30, without the consent of the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(f)       In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loans that are not Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and to which this Section 3.30 applies as is consistent with this Agreement and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller only to the same extent as set forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

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

 

(h)       Each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right to assign the related Repurchased Note; provided that, with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, the assignee of the related Repurchased Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(i)        With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller as a holder of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or

other security document related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to the related Joint Mortgage Loan documents, and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the related Repurchased Note or related Repurchased Notes and the related Mortgaged Property all in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement. Each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan; provided, that such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided, further, that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, without the written consent of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, shall not initiate any action in the name of such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller without indicating its representative capacity or take any action with the intent to cause and that actually causes, such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller to be registered to do business in any state.

 

(j)        Pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller is required to deliver to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan documents related to the applicable Repurchased Note, any requests for release and any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of the related Mortgaged Property or to any legal action or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note(s) or the Mortgage(s) or otherwise available at law or equity with respect to the related Repurchased Note.

(e)       Notwithstanding the right of a Special Servicer to represent the interests of the Trust in Trust-Related Litigation, and subject to the rights of such Special Servicer to direct the applicable Master Servicer’s actions in this Section 3.32, such Master Servicer shall retain the right to make determinations relating to claims against such Master Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf in such Master Servicer’s reasonable discretion, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

 

(f)       Further, nothing in this section shall require a Master Servicer to take or fail to take any action which, in such Master Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, may (i) result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions or (ii) subject such Master Servicer to liability or materially expand the scope of such Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(g)       Notwithstanding either Master Servicer’s right to make determinations relating to claims against such Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right at any time in accordance with the Servicing Standard to (i) direct such Master Servicer to settle any claims asserted against such Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the applicable Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation) (and with respect to any material settlements with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively) and (ii) otherwise reasonably direct the actions of such Master Servicer relating to claims against such Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the applicable Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation), provided in either case that (A) such settlement or other direction does not require any admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of such Master Servicer, (B) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (C) such Master Servicer is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses of such Master Servicer incurred in defending and settling the Trust-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (D) any such action taken by such Master Servicer at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to such Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (E) the applicable Special Servicer provides such Master Servicer with assurance reasonably satisfactory to such Master Servicer as to the items in clauses (A), (B) and (C).

 

(h)       In the event both a Master Servicer and a Special Servicer or Trust are named in Trust-Related Litigation, such Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall cooperate

 

 -329-

 

 

with each other to afford such Master Servicer and Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.32.

 

This Section 3.32 shall not apply in the event the applicable Special Servicer authorizes the applicable Master Servicer, and such Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Trust-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, none of the applicable Master Servicers or Special Servicers shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, (A) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state (provided that none of the Master Servicers or Special Servicers shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee to grant such consent); and (iii) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to any material Trust-Related Litigation with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively, to the extent required in Section 3.32(c), respectively) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trustee of the Trust.

When so posted, the Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans). None of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.33 until such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1E to this Agreement. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website on account of it constituting Excluded Information, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to obtain such information in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement, and each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer may require and rely on such certifications and other reasonable information prior to releasing any such information.

receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount or Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount, as applicable, in respect of its Related Certificates or Related Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests, plus (A) a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LASB, Class LA4 and Class LA5 Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LAS and Class LB Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-B Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LD and Class LE Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-D Certificates, (iv) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-F Certificates, (vi) in the case of the Class LG Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-G Certificates, and (vii) in the Case of the Class LH Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-H Certificates, and (B) in the case of the LRR Uncertificated Interest, the Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount in respect of the RR Interest, in each case, computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate over the Pass-Through Rate of the Class of Related Certificates or Related Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests and a notional amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount, in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(b), as applicable. Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

 

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates or Related Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as provided in Section 4.01(b) and 4.04(c). The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The pass-through rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.

 

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

 

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

 

(e)     Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date that represent Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges received by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan during the related Collection Period, in each case net of any Liquidation Fees payable therefrom, shall be distributable as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any particular Collection

certificates, any remaining portion of the Non-Retained Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium; and (y) to the RR Interest, the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium.

 

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

 

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the applicable Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Loan that is not related to an ARD Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Loan that is related to an ARD Loan)), such interpolated yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield. If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) is no longer published, the Certificate Administrator shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities.

 

No Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium shall be distributed to the Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class F, Class G, Class H or Class R Certificates. After the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates, Class A-5 Exchangeable

 

 -342-

 

 

Certificates, Class A-S Exchangeable Certificates, Class B Exchangeable Certificates and Class C Exchangeable Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Non-Retained Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Class X-B Certificates and the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the RR Interest.

 

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

 

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

 

(g)       All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 4.01(h), 4.01(i) and 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related

 

 -343-

 

 

Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

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

 

(h)       Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:

 

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

 

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

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the

 

 -344-

 

 

surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

 

(i)        Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to the Regular Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(d), as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.05 at such last address. The amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(h) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.

 

(j)       On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Holders of the RR Interest in an amount equal to the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of such Excess Interest, in each case, from the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Excess Interest will not be available to pay any other amounts except for distributions on the RR Interest as set forth in the prior sentence.

 

(k)       On each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Companion Paying Agent shall make withdrawals and payments from the Companion Distribution Account for each Companion Loan in the following order of priority:

 

(i)        to pay to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, as applicable, any amounts deposited by such Master Servicer in the Companion Distribution Account not required to be deposited therein;

 

(ii)       to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement and not otherwise previously reimbursed, to pay the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or any of their directors, officers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable or reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section 8.05, to the extent any such amounts relate solely to a Serviced Whole Loan related to such Companion Loan,

 

 -345-

 

 

and such amounts are to be paid by the related Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement;

 

(iii)      to pay all amounts remaining in the Companion Distribution Account related to such Serviced Companion Loan to the related Companion Holder, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement; and

 

(iv)      to clear and terminate the Companion Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

 

All distributions from the Companion Distribution Account required hereunder shall be made by the Companion Paying Agent to the related Companion Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date (and on each additional date required by this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the account of such Companion Holder or an agent therefor appearing on the Serviced Companion Noteholder Register on the related Record Date (or, if no such account so appears or information relating thereto is not provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check sent by first class mail to the address of such Companion Holder or its agent appearing on the Serviced Companion Noteholder Register). Any such account shall be located at a commercial bank in the United States.

 

On the final Remittance Date, each Master Servicer shall withdraw from Collection Account and deliver to the Certificate Administrator who shall distribute to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Loss of Value Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and that were transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to its Collection Account on the immediately preceding Remittance Date.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Certificate, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (i) and (x) above as to the applicable Class, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which person was a Certificateholder, together with such other information as the Certificate Administrator deems necessary or desirable, or that a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner reasonably requests, to enable Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year.

Upon receipt of an Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer required to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include such Asset Review Report Summary in Item 1B on the Form 10-D for such period in which such Asset Review Report Summary was delivered, and (ii) post such Asset Review Report Summary to the Certificate Administrator’s Website not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

(b)       [RESERVED].

 

(c)       Each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website (in addition to making information available as provided herein) any reports or other information such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any party to this Agreement, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder or any prospective Certificateholder that has provided such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 3.13 (which may be a licensed or registered investment advisor) to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, any requirements to keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the availability of such information or reports on the Internet or similar electronic media shall not be deemed to satisfy any specific delivery requirements in this Agreement except as set forth herein. In connection with providing access to the applicable Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s Internet website, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take reasonable measures to

 

 -350-

 

 

ensure that only such parties listed above may access such information including, without limitation, requiring registration, a confidentiality agreement and acceptance of a disclaimer. No Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, and no Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any information delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Section 3.13, other than information produced by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.

 

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

 

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

 

(d)      Upon the written request of a Certificateholder, any beneficial owner of a Certificate, or any prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is designated by a Certificateholder or a beneficial owner of a Certificate as such and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as soon as reasonably practicable, at the expense of the requesting party, the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the requesting party such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such person, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A

 

 -351-

 

 

or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

 

(e)       The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

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

 

Section 4.03   P&I Advances. (a) On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the applicable Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Master Servicer to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date,

 

 -352-

 

 

(ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make such P&I Advances or (iii) make such P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the applicable Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the applicable Master Servicer’s records and replaced by such Master Servicer by deposit in its Collection Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The applicable Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by such Master Servicer for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances with respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by such Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the applicable Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless such Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the applicable Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the applicable Collection Account for payment to CREFC^® on such Distribution Date.

 

If the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan with a related Serviced Companion Loan, then it shall provide to the related other master servicer and Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

 

If the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, then it shall provide to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

 

(b)       Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by each Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date, and each Mortgage Loan for which it acts as Master Servicer, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Non-Serviced Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on such Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) for which it acts as Master Servicer during the related Collection Period and were not received as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the applicable Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each such

 

 -353-

 

 

Mortgage Loan for which it acts as Master Servicer that is delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the applicable Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan), shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan.

 

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

 

 -354-

 

 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that a P&I Advance that has been made on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the applicable Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined, or the Non-Serviced Trustee has determined, in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

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

 

 -355-

 

 

applicable Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account.

 

(e)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Excess Interest, Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums, or Balloon Payments or make any P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, an “appraisal reduction amount” has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable Master Servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) then in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this Section 4.03(e), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of any Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.

 

(f)       In no event shall either the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan.

 

Section 4.04   Allocation of Realized Losses.  (a)On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Realized Loss and Retained Certificate Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular or Exchangeable Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the applicable Class of Certificates or Upper-Tier Regular Interest in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than any Exchangeable Certificates) and Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal

 

 -356-

 

 

Distribution Amount (and corresponding to a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount and Retained Certificate Principal Distribution Amount) are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests that previously were allocated Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, and in the case of Realized Losses, in sequential order according to the priority of payments for the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest and any Exchangeable Certificates) and Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests (and with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-4 and Class A-5 Upper-Tier Regular Interests (and, correspondingly, to the Class A-4, Class A-4-1, Class A-4-2, Class A-5, Class A-5-1 and Class A-5-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class A-4 Upper-Tier Regular Interest or the Class A-5 Upper-Tier Regular Interest, as applicable), on a pro rata basis according to the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses on such Classes), in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests.

 

(b)       (I) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest and any Exchangeable Certificates) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests with respect to such Distribution Date; (II) on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of the RR Interest will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Retained Certificate Realized Losses with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write off under (I) above shall be allocated in the following order:

 

(i)        first, to the Class H certificates;

 

(ii)       second, to the Class G certificates;

 

(iii)      third, to the Class F certificates;

 

(iv)      fourth, to the Class E certificates;

 

(v)       fifth, to the Class D certificates;

 

(vi)      sixth, to the Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, to the Class C, Class C-1 and Class C-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest);

 

(vii)     seventh, to the Class B Upper-Tier Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, to the Class B, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class B Upper-Tier Regular Interest);

 

(viii)    eighth, to the Class A-S Upper-Tier Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, to the Class A-S, Class A-S-1 and Class A-S-2 Certificates, pro rata in

 

 -357-

 

 

proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class A-S Upper-Tier Regular Interest); and

 

(ix)      then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-4 and Class A-5 Upper-Tier Regular Interests (and, correspondingly, to the Class A-4, Class A-4-1, Class A-4-2, Class A-5, Class A-5-1 and Class A-5-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class A-4 Upper-Tier Regular Interest or the Class A-5 Upper-Tier Regular Interest, as applicable), in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests have been reduced to zero.

 

Any Realized Losses applied to the Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B or Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest shall be allocated to the corresponding Classes of Exchangeable Certificates with Certificate Balances that represent an interest therein pro rata to reduce their Certificate Balances in accordance with their Class Percentage Interests therein.

 

(c)       With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than any Exchangeable Certificates) or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interest pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b), with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interest with respect thereto as a write-off.

 

Section 4.05   Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts.  (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates (other than the RR Interest and any Exchangeable Certificates) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class H Certificates, second, to the Class G Certificates, third, to the Class F Certificates, fourth, to the Class E Certificates, fifth, to the Class D Certificates, sixth, to the Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interest, seventh, to the Class B Upper-Tier Regular Interest, eighth, to the Class A-S Upper-Tier Regular Interest and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-4 and Class A-5 Upper-Tier Regular Interests. Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Allocated Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to any Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest as set forth above will be allocated to the Classes of Exchangeable P&I Certificates representing interests therein pro rata in accordance with their respective Class Percentage Interests in such Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest.

 

Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan will be allocated between the RR Interest on the one hand

and the Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates, on the other hand, based on the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Non-Retained Percentage, respectively.

 

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) becoming an AB Modified Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the applicable Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the applicable Master Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall (i) promptly request from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the applicable Master Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the applicable Master Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the applicable Master Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the applicable Master Servicer thereof. Upon reasonable prior written request, the applicable Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. None of the Master Servicers (with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans)), the Special Servicers (with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

 

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to an AB Modified Loan will be allocated to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates in Reverse Sequential Order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Control Eligible Certificates is reduced to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which shall constitute the applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with this Section 4.05(a), but only to the extent of the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

 

With respect to (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the applicable Special Servicer or Operating Advisor and (ii) any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the

 

 -359-

 

 

occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as is” basis.

 

The applicable Special Servicer (in the case of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) or the Master Servicer (in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall promptly notify the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the applicable Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator, to the extent it receives such information, of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which notification shall be satisfied through delivery of such Appraisal Reduction Amount as included in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package with respect to the Collateral Deficiency Amount and the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount) and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder and the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m) (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository being an expense of the Trust).

 

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

 

(ii)  Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the applicable Master Servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced

 

 -360-

 

 

PSA and applicable Intercreditor Agreement) and the applicable Special Servicer (for any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as applicable) is warranted, and if so warranted, such Person shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and (for any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) any information received from the applicable Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable. The Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicers shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Master Servicer’s calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the applicable Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the applicable Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the applicable Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the next most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any.

 

(c)       With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the applicable Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of the occurrence or of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the applicable Master Servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section

 

 -361-

 

 

4.05(b) above) and receipt of information reasonably requested by the applicable Special Servicer from the applicable Master Servicer that is in the possession of such Master Servicer and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the applicable Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template format; provided, however, that the applicable Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the applicable Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the applicable Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the applicable Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Following the applicable Master Servicer’s receipt from the applicable Special Servicer of the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the applicable Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Certificate Administrator in the form of the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File and the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template provided to it by the applicable Special Servicer or such other report or reports mutually agreed upon between the applicable Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator will calculate the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount and the Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report of the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be promptly forwarded by the applicable Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer and Other Trustee of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the applicable Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). If the applicable Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and unless the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Loan as to such party), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the applicable Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the applicable Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the applicable Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole

 

 -362-

 

 

Loan; provided that the applicable Special Servicer has no knowledge of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation.

 

The applicable Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the applicable Special Servicer any information in its possession or, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by such Master Servicer, that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the applicable Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor; provided that the applicable Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the applicable Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the applicable Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the applicable Special Servicer’s reasonable request. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 4.06   Grantor Trust Reporting. (a) The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Holders of the Exchangeable

 

 -363-

 

 

Certificates or the RR Interest in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements in the following clause, (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the RR Interest, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code, and (C) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Exchangeable Upper-Tier REMIC Regular Interests, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

 

(b)       The Exchangeable Certificates are held through a “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations, and accordingly the Grantor Trust will be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT. Therefore, the Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the notice provided by the first sentence of this Section 4.06(b) and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that such notice provided by the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.

 

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

 

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

 

 -364-

 

 

(e)       To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIP for the Exchangeable Certificates. The CUSIP so published shall represent the Rule 144A CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent such CUSIP has been received. Absent the receipt of such CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

 

Section 4.07     Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry; and Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A Forum” shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders and beneficial owners of Certificates that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (A) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement, (B) the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and Section 3.13(e), the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the related Mortgaged Properties or (C) the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Report or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor or actions by the applicable Special Servicer referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report (each an “Inquiry” and collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the General Master Servicer to the following: REAM_InvestorRelations@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of such Master Servicer, such Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special

 

 -365-

 

 

Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) that answering the Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or disclosure of attorney work product or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered.

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

Access to the Secure Data Room shall be granted by the Certificate Administrator to (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) any other Person at the direction of the Depositor, in each case, upon the occurrence of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote and receipt by the Certificate Administrator of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit RR hereto (which shall be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s website). In no case whatsoever shall Certificateholders be permitted to access the Secure Data Room. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to post any documents or information to the Secure Data Room other than the contents of the Diligence Files initially delivered to it by the Depositor.

 

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether the type, number or contents of any Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates to the transaction or confirm that all documents and information constituting any Diligence File have actually been delivered to the Certificate Administrator. In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of, or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document or information is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document or information from the Secure Data Room.

The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or held liable for any other Person’s use or dissemination of the documents or information contained on the Secure Data Room; provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Following the date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust, the applicable Special Servicer may direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room. Upon deletion, in no event shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

 

Section 5.02     Form and Registration. No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or by the Initial Purchasers to BIG BNK37, LLC) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then the following subsections (a)-(d) shall apply.

After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial

 

 -370-

 

 

interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided;

 

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided.

If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.

 

(b)       Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than any RR Interest during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository.

(c)       Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates that are initially offered and sold to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers (the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners. Additionally, the Class R Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates, and the RR Interest shall be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates at all times during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period.

 

(d)       Owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that under no

 

 -371-

 

 

circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Book-Entry Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

 

(e)       Subject to the following provisions, during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, any RR Interest shall only be held as a Definitive Certificate in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and each Retaining Party’s respective interest shall be tracked in the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust accounting system under the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account), for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the RR Interest in safekeeping and shall release the Definitive Certificate representing a portion of the requesting Retaining Party’s RR Interest only upon receipt of written instructions from the applicable Holder of the RR Interest and the Retaining Sponsor’s written consent, or in connection with a transfer, in accordance with Section 5.03(i), and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and with this Agreement. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account” and into which the RR Interest shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retaining Party. The RR Interest to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable to the RR Interest shall be remitted to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted directly to each Retaining Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately by each Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the RR Interest shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retaining Parties. During the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the Retaining Parties may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificate representing the RR Interest at the below location, or any other location;

(f)       Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate.

The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

(g)       Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than (a) an RR Interest during the Transfer Restriction Period or (b) a Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the

 

 -376-

 

 

Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit M hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled. Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.

 

(h)       Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), and subject to the issuance and transfer of an RR Interest during the Transfer Restriction Period in accordance with Section 5.03(i), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

 

(i)       Transfers of RR Interest. At all times, if a Transfer of any RR Interest after the Closing Date is to be made, then the following documents shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, who will facilitate the transfer in conjunction with the Certificate Registrar who shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) if such RR Interest is in the possession of the Certificate Administrator, a letter notifying the Certificate Administrator in writing of the Holder of an RR Interest’s intention to transfer such RR Interest from the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account and identifying the transferee, (ii) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (iii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (iv) if such RR Interest will be in the possession of the Certificate Administrator after such transfer, a completed W-9 by the prospective transferee and (v) contact information and wiring instructions for the prospective transferee. Upon the completion of any transfer during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, the Certificate Administrator shall issue a receipt to such transferor and transferee. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e) and Section 5.03(n), reflect such RR Interest in the name of the prospective Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an RR Interest be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period. Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of this Section 5.03(i) shall be null and void ab initio

 

 -377-

 

 

and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(n)       With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to the Initial Purchasers or, with respect to the RR Interest, the applicable Retaining Parties) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not and will not be (A) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company will be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, where the purchase, holding and disposition of such Certificate will not constitute

 

 -378-

 

 

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

 

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

 

(p)       Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

 

(i)       Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is

 

 -379-

 

 

not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(p) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

 

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

 

(iii)       Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an

 

 -380-

 

 

agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

 

(q)       The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

 

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

(i)       Such Certificate Owner (A)(i) is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (ii) is acquiring such Non-Registered Certificate for its own account or for the account of another Qualified Institutional Buyer, as the case may be, and (iii) is aware that the sale of the Non-Registered Certificates to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (B)(i)(except with respect to the Class R Certificates) is an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer and that is purchasing such Non-Registered Certificate for its own account or for the account of another Institutional Accredited Investor, and (ii) is not acquiring such Non-Registered Certificate with a view to any resale or distribution of such Non-Registered Certificate other than in accordance with the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.03(s), or (C) (except with respect to the Class R Certificates) is an institution that is not a United States Securities Person, and is purchasing such Non-Registered Certificate in an Offshore Transaction.

(iii)       Such Certificate Owner understands that, if the purchaser of a Non-Registered Certificate is not a Qualified Institution Buyer or a non-United States Securities Person, the Non-Registered Certificates purchased by such purchaser may not be transferred in book-entry form and may be transferred in physical form only in compliance with the restrictions in clause (ii)(C) above and no such transfer of the Non-Registered Certificates owned by such Certificate Owner will be permitted unless the purchaser provides certification that the transfer complies with such restrictions, as described in this Section 5.03(s).

 

(iv)       Such Certificate Owner is duly authorized to purchase the Non-Registered Certificates and its purchase of investments having the characteristics of the Non-Registered Certificate is authorized under, and not directly or indirectly in contravention of, any law, rule, regulation, charter, trust instrument or other operative document, investment guidelines or list of permissible or impermissible investments that is applicable to such Certificate Owner.

Section 5.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute,

Section 5.05    Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).

(a) The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders. If any Certificateholder that has provided an Investor Certification (i) requests in writing from the Certificate Registrar a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders, (ii) states that such Certificateholder desires to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (iii) provides a copy of the communication which Certificateholder proposes to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, furnish such Certificateholder (at such Certificateholder’s sole cost and expense) a current list of the Certificateholders. In addition, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (if applicable) that has provided an Investor Certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner of the identity of then-current Directing Certificateholder. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which information was derived. The Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from time to time upon request therefor.

 

(b)       (i) The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form 10-D any written request received in accordance with Section 11.04(a) prior to the Distribution Date to which the Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution Date) from a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to communicate with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners related to Certificateholders or Certificate Owners

Section 5.09    [RESERVED]

 

Section 5.10    Voting Procedures. With respect to any matters submitted to Certificateholders for a vote, the Certificate Administrator shall administer such vote through the Depository with respect to Book-Entry Certificates and directly with registered Holders by mail with respect to Definitive Certificates. In each case, such vote shall be administered in accordance with the following procedures, unless different procedures are otherwise described herein with respect to a specific vote:

 

(a)       Any matter submitted to Certificateholders for a vote shall be announced in a notice prepared by the Certificate Administrator. Such notice shall include the record date determined by the Certificate Administrator for purposes of the vote and a voting deadline which shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is distributed.

In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

 

 -385-

 

 

Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

 

(b)       In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein. Holders may only vote in accordance with their Voting Rights. Voting Rights with respect to any outstanding Class of Certificates shall be calculated by the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the definition of Voting Rights as of the record date for the vote. Only Classes with an outstanding Certificate Balance greater than zero as of the record date of the vote shall be permitted to vote. Once a Holder has cast its vote, the vote may be changed or retracted on or before the vote deadline. Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates are subject to and shall be bound by all votes of Holders initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate.

 

(c)       The Certificate Administrator may take up to fifteen (15) Business Days to tabulate the results of any vote. The Certificate Administrator shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve any illegible or incomplete ballots received prior to the voting deadline. Illegible or incomplete ballots that are received on the voting deadline or that cannot be resolved by the voting deadline shall not be counted. Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.10(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

 

(d)       Any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

 

(e)       If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of Certificateholders is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures. Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

 

 -386-

 

 

Section 5.11     Exchangeable Certificates. (a) On the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust shall issue the several Classes of Exchangeable Certificates. Each Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests in an amount equal to the Class Percentage Interest of such Class in each such Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest. All amounts allocated to an Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest hereunder, including principal and interest payable thereon, shall be allocated to the Classes of Exchangeable Certificates representing an interest therein, in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests therein.

 

(b)       Certificates of each Class of Exchangeable Certificates (each such Class, in connection with any exchange, an applicable “Surrendered Class”) may be exchanged on the books of DTC for Certificates of the corresponding Classes of Exchangeable Certificates set forth next to such Class in the table below (each, an applicable “Received Class”), and vice versa. The Denomination of each of the Received Classes of Certificates must be equal to the Denomination of each of the Surrendered Classes of Certificates. No fee shall be required with respect to any exchange of Exchangeable Certificates. Following any exchange of Certificates of one or more Surrendered Classes for Certificates of one or more Received Classes, the Class Percentage Interests in the Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests that are represented by the Surrendered Classes (and consequently their related Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts) shall be decreased, and those of the Received Classes (and consequently their related Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts) shall be increased. The Certificate Administrator or Certificate Registrar, as applicable, shall (i) make the appropriate notation of such exchange on the Certificate Register and on the Book-Entry Certificate for each Class of Exchangeable Certificates involved in such exchange to reflect such reductions and increases and (ii) give appropriate instructions to the Depository to reflect such reductions and increases.

 

Surrendered Classes (or Received Classes) of Certificates	Received Classes (or Surrendered Classes) of Certificates
Class A-4	Class A-4-1, Class A-4-X1
Class A-4	Class A-4-2, Class A-4-X2
Class A-5	Class A-5-1, Class A-5-X1
Class A-5	Class A-5-2, Class A-5-X2
Class A-S	Class A-S-1, Class A-S-X1
Class A-S	Class A-S-2, Class A-S-X2
Class B	Class B-1, Class B-X1
Class B	Class B-2, Class B-X2
Class C	Class C-1, Class C-X1
Class C	Class C-2, Class C-X2

 

For example, a Certificateholder holding Class A-S Certificates with a Denomination of $143,001,000 may surrender Class A-S Certificates with a Denomination of $71,500,500 (the Certificates of the applicable Surrendered Class) and receive in exchange Class A-S-1 Certificates with a Denomination of $71,500,500 and Class A-S-X1 Certificates with a Denomination of $71,500,500 (collectively, the Certificates of the applicable Received Classes). In such event, (i) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S Certificates in each of the Class A-S, Class A-S-X1 and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced from

 

 -387-

 

 

100% to 50%, (ii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-1 Certificates in each of the Class A-S and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be increased from 0% to 50%, and (iii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-X1 Certificates in the Class A-S-X1 Upper-Tier Regular Interest would be increased from 0% to 50%.

 

Similarly a Certificateholder holding Class A-S-1 Certificates with a Denomination of $71,500,500 that seeks to surrender all such Certificates in exchange for Class A-S Certificates will be required to surrender all such Certificates, as well as Class A-S-X1 Certificates with a Denomination of $71,500,500 in order to accomplish such exchange.

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

 

(k)        The NCB Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the General Master Servicer and its partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees or agents from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the General Master Servicer or such Persons in connection with any CREFC® Schedule AL File prepared by the General Master Servicer that arise out of or are based upon any error, inaccuracy or incompleteness in any NCB CREFC® Schedule AL File or NCB Schedule AL Additional File delivered by the NCB Master Servicer to the General Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d) or any failure by the NCB Master Servicer to deliver to the General Master Servicer any NCB CREFC® Schedule AL File or NCB Schedule AL Additional File by the time specified in Section 3.12(d).

 

Section 6.05       Depositor, Master Servicers and Special Servicers Not to Resign.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, none of the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on each of them except upon (a) determination that such party’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (b) in the case of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), and receipt by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25). Any such determination permitting the resignation of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder. Unless applicable law requires the resignation of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer (as the case may be) to be effective immediately, and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no such resignation by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer under clause (a) above shall become effective until

 

 -403-

 

 

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

 

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

 

Section 6.07       The Master Servicers and the Special Servicers as Certificate Owner.  Either Master Servicer, either Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.

 

Section 6.08       The Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.  (a) (A) Other than with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan that is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to advise (1) the applicable Special Servicer with respect to all Major Decisions (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) and (2) the applicable Master Servicer to the extent the Directing Certificateholder’s consent is required by the applicable clauses of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”, and (B) the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall (other than with

 

 -404-

 

 

respect to any applicable Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party) be entitled to consult on a strictly non-binding basis with the applicable Special Servicer with respect to any Major Decision (provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the related Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan). For the avoidance of doubt, any consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party under this Agreement shall occur only upon the written request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any individual triggering event, and any such consultation shall be on a strictly non-binding basis and shall be subject to all limitations with respect to the procedures and timing of such consultation set forth in this Section 6.08.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, the third and fourth paragraphs of this Section 6.08(a) and Section 6.08(b), for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be permitted to take (or consent to any Master Servicer’s taking) a Major Decision as to which the Directing Certificateholder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to clause (ix) of the definition of “Major Decision”) after the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the applicable Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the applicable Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent (provided that if such written consent has not been received by the applicable Special Servicer within the applicable time period, then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action); provided, however, that, in the event that the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters or any Master Servicer Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be); provided that if such matter requires consent of or consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Agreement, the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the Operating Advisor, if applicable) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. None of the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers is required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any of the foregoing actions or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder (only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to

 

 -405-

 

 

the Directing Certificateholder (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect thereof. If the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer have mutually agreed that the applicable Master Servicer will process any Major Decision, the applicable Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions that constitute Major Decisions unless it has obtained the consent of the applicable Special Servicer, which consent will be deemed given (unless earlier objected to by the applicable Special Servicer) ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Special Servicer’s receipt from the applicable Master Servicer of the applicable Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect to such Major Decision and all information reasonably requested by the applicable Special Servicer and reasonably available to the applicable Master Servicer in order to make an informed decision with respect to such Major Decision plus the time period provided to the Directing Certificateholder or other relevant party under this Agreement and, if applicable, any additional time period permitted in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Additionally, upon request, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on a non-binding basis (provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the related Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in respect thereof. In the event the applicable Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party within ten (10) Business Days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond shall not relieve the applicable Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with respect to such party) or Serviced Whole Loan. In addition, after a Control Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the applicable Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor and reasonably available to the applicable Special Servicer related to the subject matter of such consultation, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the applicable Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the

 

 -406-

 

 

Controlling Class (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), (i) the applicable Special Servicer shall process all requests in respect of Specially Serviced Loans and any matter (other than as described in clause (ii)(B) below) that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, and (ii) the applicable Master Servicer shall process all requests in respect of (A) any matter that constitutes a Master Servicer Decision with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans and (B) any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan that such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer have mutually agreed such Master Servicer shall process.

 

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall forward such request to the applicable Special Servicer and, unless such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer mutually agree that such Master Servicer shall process such request, such Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and such Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. With respect to such request, the applicable Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the applicable Special Servicer by delivering any additional information in the applicable Master Servicer’s possession to the applicable Special Servicer requested by the applicable Special Servicer relating to such Major Decision. The applicable Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any such Major Decision and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any such Major Decision. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer shall within ten (10) Business Days forward such request to the Directing Certificateholder together with the Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis. The Directing Certificateholder shall promptly provide notice to the applicable Special Servicer of any objection the Directing Certificateholder has to such Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis (provided that if such written consent has not been received by the applicable Special Servicer within the applicable time period, then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action).

 

With respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision relating to a Specially Serviced Loan, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision relating to a Mortgage Loan (in each case, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest), the Special Servicer shall provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Major Decision to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, within the same time frame it is required to provide such notice, information or report to the Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the

Directing Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event).

 

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the applicable Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, may direct the applicable Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6.08(a) or this paragraph may require or cause the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of either Master Servicer and either Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause either Master Servicer or either Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

 

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

 

With respect to any matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder is required, to the extent no specific time period for deemed consent is expressly stated, in the event no response from the Directing Certificateholder is received within ten (10) Business Days following written request for consent and its receipt of all reasonably requested information on any required consent, the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to or approved the specific matter; provided that the failure of the Directing

 

 -411-

 

 

Certificateholder to respond will not affect any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

 

The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, including the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, and that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

 

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to a Holder of an RR Interest that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Holders of the RR Interest or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Holders of the RR Interest. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of an RR Interest over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Holders of an RR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the RR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holder of the RR Interest, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

 

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to a Directing Certificateholder), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (other than a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the applicable Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Directing Certificateholder and, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from being taken to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class), the Directing Certificateholder (other than a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) shall have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder and, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of a majority of the RR Interest, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the applicable Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from being taken to the extent set forth herein.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholder’s direction to remove a Special Servicer shall not apply to any Serviced AB Whole Loan that is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period or to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

 

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

 

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced PSA remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA, by the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace such Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such

Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder.

 

Following the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Operating Advisor determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that the applicable Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to such Special Servicer, a written report in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with any information the Operating Advisor considered relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a replacement Special Servicer (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances of such Certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio, and (ii) receipt by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i) of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Trustee shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor special servicer approved by the Certificateholders and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. In the event that the Trustee does not receive at least a majority of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove such Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as such Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of a Special Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement or with respect to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

 

 -420-

 

 

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

 

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

 

(e)        Each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency with respect to such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii).

 

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of a Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if such Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of a Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then such Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, such Master Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

 

(g)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the related Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing Certificateholder shall select an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer but does not so appoint within 30 days of notice of resignation, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The resigning Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to

 

 -421-

 

 

the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the Certificates and each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities makes the equivalent confirmation, (ii) the related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor and Other Certificate Administrator, the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

 

If at any time the applicable Special Servicer that had previously acted as a Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) such original Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) such original Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

 

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the applicable Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided that the applicable Special Servicer shall remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

 

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

 

Section 7.02       Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.  On and after the time a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that

 

 -422-

 

 

arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor master servicer or special servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loans which that Master Servicer would have been entitled to if such Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to such Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which such Special Servicer would have been entitled if such Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to such Special Servicer) ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner

 -423-

 

as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) such appointment (solely with respect to such Special Servicer) has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Pending appointment of a successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the non-terminated Master Servicer or the non-terminated Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor master servicer or special servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust. In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating a Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.

 

Section 7.03       Notification to Certificateholders.  (a) Upon any resignation of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

 

(b)       Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after the Certificate Administrator would be deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section 8.02(ix), the

 

 -424-

 

 

Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders (and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

 

Section 7.04      Waiver of Servicer Termination Events.   The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), (ii) or (viii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes, and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) of Section 7.01(a) (with respect to obligations under Article XI) may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, subject to the rights of any affected holder of a Serviced Companion Loan under Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(f), such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.

 

Section 7.05      Trustee as Maker of Advances.  In the event that a Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by a Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of such Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, such Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and a Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of such Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) on the applicable Distribution Date, (i) the Certificate Administrator shall remit to the Holders of the RR Interest in immediately available funds an amount equal to the product of the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Termination Purchase Amount and (ii) the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicers, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02.

acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special Servicer, either Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement (in order to make such determination, the General Master Servicer may, at any time, request that the NCB Master Servicer commence to periodically inform the General Master Servicer of the Stated Principal Balance of the NCB Mortgage Loans and, commencing upon such request of the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer shall inform the General Master Servicer (which may be through providing the General Master Servicer access to the NCB Master Servicer’s website) of the Stated Principal Balance of the NCB Mortgage Loans on a monthly basis, or at an accelerated interval as requested by the General Master Servicer of the NCB Master Servicer). This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire then-outstanding Certificates. In the event that a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer purchases, or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account of the General Master Servicer). In addition, each Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such P&I Advance Date from its Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in its Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans as assets of the Trust and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. If the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer (if not then NCB), the General Master Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer (if not then NCB) makes such an election, then NCB (so long as NCB is either the NCB Special Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer) will have the option, by giving written notice to the other parties hereto no later than 30 days prior to the anticipated date of purchase, to purchase all of the NCB Mortgage Loans and each related

 

 -443-

 

 

REO Property remaining in the Trust, and the other party will then have the option to purchase only the remaining Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property.

 

For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, then the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, then the other Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, then the other Master Servicer, and then the Holders of the Class R Certificates. For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Certificateholder with the consent of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.

 

Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans is an asset of the Trust and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates, or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust will terminate and final payment of the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein designated.

 

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(e) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in each case pursuant to Section 3.04(b) and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the Class of Certificates so presented, (ii) to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates or the RR Interest so presented, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, and (iii) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest or the Class UR Interest, as applicable. Amounts transferred from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date, shall be distributed in termination and liquidation of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest in accordance with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) and Section 4.01(f).

For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, each Class of the Regular Certificates and each of the Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as the “regular interests” and the Class UR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

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

 

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

 

(c)       The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Accounts as provided by Section 3.05 unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. The Certificate Administrator is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) of each Trust REMIC and shall perform all the functions thereof. By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the Class R Certificates hereby agree to such designation.

 

(d)       The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file, or cause to be filed, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means.

(f)        The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicers nor the Special Servicers shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust, any Trust REMIC created hereunder, cause the loss of such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”). The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

 

(g)       In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the applicable Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the applicable Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the applicable Master Servicer shall request in order to pay

 

 -447-

 

 

such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer shall withdraw from the applicable Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(c), and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(b), as applicable, to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(k)       Solely for the purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” by which the Certificate Balance or

 

 -448-

 

 

Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests and by which the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced to zero is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

(l)        None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust, (iii) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or Article III of this Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust or any Trust REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the applicable Collection Account or the REO Account for gain unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, cause the Trust or any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

 

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

 

(n)      The Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be held in the Grantor Trust and have been placed in the Grantor Trust through the efforts of the Underwriters.

Section 11.01     Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor (and any Other Depositor of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”). In connection with the BANK 2021-BNK37, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK37, and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, and any Other Depositor, Other Trustee and Other Certificate Administrator of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator, and any such Other Depositor, Other Trustee or Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information (in its possession or reasonably attainable) necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Asset Representations

Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), reasonably believed by the Depositor or the related Other Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor and each Other Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements. For purposes of this Article XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

 

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

 

(b)       Each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, such Mortgage Loan Seller or such Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator or Other Depositor, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing

 

 -452-

 

 

Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor. As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall (i) with respect to any such Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other subcontractor with which it has entered into a servicing relationship, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. With respect to any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, such Servicer shall be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer, such Servicer shall obtain from each such Servicing Function Participant and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, in each case, as and when required to be delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

 

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

 

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

 

 -453-

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

 

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

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

 

(b)       In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 10-D, ABS-EE, 10-K or 8-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Forms 10-D, ABS-EE and 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that any previously filed Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A, Form 10-K/A or Form 8-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE, Form 10-K or Form 8-K shall be

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

compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in Exhibit PP if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

 

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

 

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

 

(vii)     The Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within fifty-six (56) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the possession of the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, or from the related Mortgage Loan Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the request by the Asset Representations Reviewer to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, as described in Section 12.01(b)(ii), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), and the related Mortgage Loan

(viii)    The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or within the ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be a responsibility of the applicable Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 12.01(b)(x) of this Agreement.

 

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

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

(a)       The Depositor shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts

The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate,

subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included therein by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

 A-1-15

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

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicers, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the percentage interest specified on the face hereof.

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

The Holders of the Class R Certificates, by their acceptance hereof, agree to such designation.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) thereof and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date.

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

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to

 A-2-6

which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and each Person holding any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives (I) an affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03(p) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them and (II) a representation letter, substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2 from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not an ERISA Prohibited Holder; (C) notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed

 A-2-7

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

The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)          to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(ii)         to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(iv)        to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or Companion Holder;

(v)         to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(o) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(vi)        to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies with respect to such amendment or supplement and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

(vii)       to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency

(viii)      to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage-backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

(ix)        to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(xi)        to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions in the event the Risk Retention Rules or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for

 A-2-10

this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the provision related to the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)          reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)         reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)        adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)        change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)         amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be

 A-2-11

considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the Subordinate Companion Holder(s) for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included therein by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special Servicer, either Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicers, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the

 A-2-12

Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

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

A-3-5

of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

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

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

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

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

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

A-3-6

withdrawals from the Collection Accounts shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Retained Certificate Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate from the prospective Transferee in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certificate from the prospective Transferor, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-3-7

The RR Interest will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $1, and in integral multiples of $0.01 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)         to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(iv)      to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions

A-3-8

of the Code at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) or Companion Holder;

(v)       to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(o) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(vii)     to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) not consenting to such amendment or supplement, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;

(ix)       to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the RR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

A-3-10

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)         reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)        reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iv)       change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)       amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the Subordinate Companion Holder(s) for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified

A-3-11

person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included therein by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without in each case the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the other Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special Servicer, either Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicers, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:

1.       Check one of the following:^*

☐ The Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institution that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1),

The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

☐ The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act.

Re: BANK 2021-BNK37, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK37 (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of November 1, 2021, between Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as General Special Servicer, National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer and as NCB Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer

STATE OF	)
	) ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

1.       I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

2.       The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “Trust REMIC”) designated as the (i)  “Lower-Tier REMIC” and (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

3.       The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership

Exhibit D-1-1

thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause a Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

4.       The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.       The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

6.       No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.       The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.

8.       Check the applicable paragraph:

☐       The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)       the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)      the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

Exhibit D-1-2

(iii)     the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related Trust REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

☐       The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)       the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)      at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)     the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)     the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐       None of the above.

9.       The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

10.     The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.     The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in

Exhibit D-1-3

substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.

12.       The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.       The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.       The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

15.       The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser has caused this instrument to be duly executed on its behalf by its duly authorized officer this ___day of _________, 20__.

Re: BANK 2021-BNK37, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK37 (the “Certificates”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as General Special Servicer, National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer and as NCB Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)       No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)       The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

(3)       The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in

Exhibit D-2-1

the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

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

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

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

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

Information to Be Held in Confidence.

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

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

You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

Exhibit P-2-3

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

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

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

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

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

Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

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

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

Exhibit P-2-4

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

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

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

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

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

This appointment is to be construed and interpreted as a limited power of attorney. The enumeration of specific items, rights, acts or powers herein is not intended to, nor does it give rise to, and it is not to be construed as a general power of attorney.

Solely to the extent that the [General][NCB] Master Servicer has the power to delegate its rights or obligations under the Agreement, the [General][NCB] Master Servicer also has the power to delegate the authority given to it by Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, under this Limited Power of Attorney, for purposes of performing its obligations and duties by executing such additional powers of attorney in favor of its attorneys-in-fact as are necessary for such purpose. The [General][NCB] Master Servicer’s attorneys-in-fact shall have no greater authority than that held by the [General][NCB] Master Servicer.

This limited power of attorney is not intended to extend or limit the powers granted to the [General][NCB] Master Servicer under the Agreement or to allow the [General][NCB] Master Servicer to take any action with respect to Mortgages, deeds of trust or Mortgage Notes not authorized by the Agreement.

The [General][NCB] Master Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by reason or result of the negligent use, or negligent or willful misuse, of this Limited Power of Attorney by the [General][NCB] Master Servicer. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Limited Power of Attorney and the Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee under the Agreement.

This Limited Power of Attorney is entered into and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles of such state.

Third parties without actual notice may rely upon the exercise of the power granted under this Limited Power of Attorney; and may be satisfied that this Limited Power of Attorney shall continue in full force and effect and has not been revoked unless an instrument of revocation has been made in writing by the undersigned.

The [General][NCB] Special Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee and its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by reason or result of the negligent use, or negligent or willful misuse, of this Limited Power of Attorney by the [General][NCB] Special Servicer. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Limited Power of Attorney and the Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee under the Agreement.

Mortgage Loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) identified by loan number _____ [and loan number [_______]] on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and heretofore secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule by the following names:____________________
____________________

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As [General][NCB] Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

(a)       Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

____  a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

____  a partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(b)       Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the [General][NCB] Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

(i)The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

(ii)The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

(iii)The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

(iv)The [General][NCB] Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the [General][NCB] Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

 Exhibit U-2

(v)The [General][NCB] Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

(vi)The defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

(vii)The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the [General][NCB] Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

(viii)The [General][NCB] Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the [General][NCB] Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date, (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

 Exhibit U-3

(ix)The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).

(x)The [General][NCB] Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(c)       Certify that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.

(d)       Certify that the individual under whose hand the [General][NCB] Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.

(e)       Agree to provide copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.

For instance, we did not review each page of the [General][NCB] Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculation, visit any property, visit the [General][NCB] Special Servicer, visit the Directing Certificateholder or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

Re: Access to Certain Information Regarding BANK 2021-BNK37, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK37

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as General Special Servicer, National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer and as NCB Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

[Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)][National Cooperative Bank, N.A. (“NCB”)][CWCapital Asset Management LLC (“CWCap”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder. The

 Exhibit X-1

[________] [____ ], 20[___]
Page 2

Company is requesting such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related mortgage loan documents.

[Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap] will provide the Company with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential Information”) pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and borrowers. The Company acknowledges that the Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap], the [“General Master Servicer”][“NCB Master Servicer” and “NCB Special Servicer][“General Special Servicer”] (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and its respective Representatives (as defined below) shall not have any liability to the Company or its Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential Information, (y) any use of the Confidential Information, or (z) [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap]’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap]; (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.

The Company may have access to the Confidential Information through (at [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap]’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap]’s surveillance group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or any successor or replacement system (“System”). [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap] may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential Information in the event that (a) the Company or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap] determines (in its sole discretion) that such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap] shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap] determines that the provision, notice or access to such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company’s obligations and the restrictions applicable to the protection of the Confidential Information

 Exhibit X-2

[________] [____ ], 20[___]
Page 3

hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company’s access to the Confidential Information. [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap]’s remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.

The Company agrees that it will not, and it shall not permit its Representatives, to disclose the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever to any other person or entity, other than its Representatives (but only to the extent necessary to accomplish the Permitted Purpose) who have a need to know the information, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order or any governmental agency or regulator. The Company acknowledges (i) its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii) that any disclosure of the Confidential Information by it or its Representatives for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose, in addition to being a breach of this letter agreement, may constitute a violation of federal and state securities laws. The Company will take reasonable measures to ensure that each Representative is advised of this letter agreement and agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential. The Company shall be liable for any breach of this letter agreement by its Representatives and shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense incurred thereby with respect to any such breach by the Company or any of its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may subsequently provide all or any part of such Confidential Information to any other person or entity that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein, but only if such person or entity confirms such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and provided that, prior to the delivery of such Confidential Information, such persons shall have executed and delivered to the Company an agreement that is substantially similar in form and substance to this agreement.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application of conflict of laws principles. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap] intends at all times to comply with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or qualify any of [Wells Fargo][NCB][CWCap]’s rights or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

This agreement shall terminate with respect to the information received by the Company one year after the Company receives such information or ceases to be a Certificateholder. Company agrees that this letter agreement supersedes and replaces and survives any click-through agreement regarding confidentiality of Confidential Information agreed to in connection with accessing the System whether agreed to in accessing the System before or after signing this letter agreement.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

Subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Exhibit sets forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s review procedures for each Delinquent Loan based on the information provided for an Asset Review. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Exhibit QQ and the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall control and govern the Asset Representations Reviewer’s responsibilities and duties with respect to Asset Reviews.

Call for Review and Collection and Inventory of Review Materials

Step 1 Asset Representations Reviewer (“ARR”) receives the following items before beginning its review:

● CREFC^® Doelinquent Loan Status Report

● Notice of Asset Review Trigger (with attachments)

● Notice of Asset Review Vote Election

● Notice of Affirmative Asset Review Vote

● Asset Review Notice

● List of all Subject Loans

● Review Materials for each Subject Loan via Secure Data Room access, including the Diligence File

● Any Unsolicited Information (if applicable)

Step 2 For each Subject Loan, ARR inventories all Review Materials to which ARR is provided access in the Secure Data Room to determine what, if any, Review Materials for such Subject Loan are missing, using the list of documents provided in the definition of “Mortgage File” of this Agreement, any comparable lists included in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and any closing checklist from the origination of such Subject Loan, to guide its review and determination.

Step 3 If ARR determines that the information made available to it in the Secure Data Room with respect to any Subject Loan is missing any documents required to complete an Asset Review of such Subject Loan, ARR prepares list of such

Exhibit QQ-1

missing documents and, within the time periods specified in Section 12.01 of this Agreement, (i) notifies the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) of such missing documents, and requests that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, deliver to the ARR such missing document(s) to the extent in its possession and (ii) in the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the ARR shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

Analysis and Testing of Representations and Warranties

Step 4 For each Subject Loan for which ARR has received all Review Materials required to complete an Asset Review of such Subject Loan, ARR tests such Subject Loan for compliance with each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Subject Loan as follows:

■ ARR reviews each representation and warranty and each item included in the Review Materials applicable or related to such representation or warranty to determine whether there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

■ For each representation and warranty, ARR lists

● all items from the Review Materials reviewed or used in its testing of such representation and warranty;

● whether ARR has determined that there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; and

° if so, stating the aspect of the applicable representation or warranty that does not appear to have been true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and ARR’s basis for its conclusion;

° completing the Asset Review Report by setting forth, for each Subject Loan, the information contemplated herein with respect to each representation and warranty.

ARR will not attempt (and has no obligation) to determine the materiality of any potential breach of a representation or warranty that it discovers evidence of during its review as contemplated herein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subordinated Lender consents to, and shall not object to, any action or proceeding at any time initiated by Lender for the appointment of a receiver and Subordinated Lender further agrees that it shall not institute any action or proceeding for the appointment of a receiver at any time during which a receiver shall have already been appointed for the benefit of Lender, and if Subordinated Lender shall have appointed or caused the appointment of a receiver prior to Lender’s initiation of proceedings to do so, Subordinated Lender agrees to take all action reasonably necessary to terminate such appointment in order to facilitate Lender’s appointment of same.

8.       Rights of Subrogation. No payment or distribution to Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and no Protective Advance by Subordinated Lender shall entitle Subordinated Lender to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof prior to the payment in full of the Loan, and Subordinated Lender agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies under the Subordinated Loan Documents permitted hereunder, prior to the

Exhibit TT-12

satisfaction of all obligations under the Loan it shall not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any portion of the Project or any other collateral now securing the Loan or the proceeds therefrom that is or may be prior to, or of equal priority to, any of the Loan Documents or the liens, rights, estates and interests created thereby.

9.       Transfer of Subordinated Loan or Loan. Subordinated Lender shall not Transfer more than 49% of its beneficial interest in the Subordinated Loan unless either (i) a Rating Agency Confirmation has been given with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes of this Agreement, or (ii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of Subordinated Lender hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof. Such proposed transferee shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the Lender.

At least five (5) days prior to a transfer to a Qualified Transferee, the Subordinated Lender shall provide to Lender a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 9, such certification to include the name and contact information of the Qualified Transferee, and a statement as to how it meets the definition of Qualified Transferee.

Subordinated Lender acknowledges that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge customary fees in connection with any such action, which fee, together with any and all other reasonable costs and expenses of Rating Agencies or Lender incurred in connection with the processing of same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Subordinated Lender.

Lender may, from time to time, in its sole discretion Transfer all or any of the Loan or any interest therein, and notwithstanding any such Transfer or subsequent Transfer, the Loan and the Loan Documents shall be and remain a senior obligation in the respects set forth in this Agreement to the Subordinated Loan and the Subordinated Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, Subordinated Lender agrees that it shall in no event Transfer all or any part of the Subordinated Loan to Borrower or to any Person which is an Affiliate of Borrower and any such Transfer shall be void ab initio.

10.       Notices. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be sent by first class, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered by hand, to either party at such party’s address first set forth above. Notices shall be deemed to have been given when received. Either party may change its address for notices hereunder by written notice to the other party.

Exhibit TT-13

11.       Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of Lender and Subordinated Lender under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i)        any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or the Subordinated Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)       any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any portion of the Loan or the Subordinated Loan;

(iii)      any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any portion of the Loan or the Subordinated Loan, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any portion of the Loan or the Subordinated Loan or any other assets of Borrower or any other Affiliates of Borrower;

(iv)      any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any other Affiliates of Borrower; or

(v)       any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or a subordinated creditor or a Lender subject to the terms hereof.

12.       Continued Effectiveness; Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of all or any portion of the Loan is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender or Subordinated Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

13.       Estoppel.

(a).      Subordinated Lender shall, within ten (10) days following a request from Lender, provide Lender with a written statement setting forth the then current outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loan, the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest under the Subordinated Loan, and stating whether to Subordinated Lender’s knowledge any default or Event of Default exists under the Subordinated Loan, it being intended that any such estoppel delivered pursuant to this Section 13 may be relied upon by Lender and by any prospective purchaser of all or any interest in the Loan.

(b).     Lender shall, within ten (10) days following a request from Subordinated Lender, provide Subordinated Lender with a written statement setting forth the then current outstanding principal balance of the Loan, the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest under the Loan, and stating whether to Lender’s knowledge any default or Event of Default exists under the Loan, it being intended that any such estoppel delivered pursuant to this Section 13 may be relied upon by Subordinated Lender and by any prospective purchaser of all or any interest in the Subordinated Loan.

Exhibit TT-14

14.       No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Modification. The parties hereto do not intend the benefits of this Agreement to inure to Borrower, or any other Person other than the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties hereto. This Agreement may not be changed or terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any change is sought.

15.       Counterpart Originals. This Agreement may be executed in counterpart originals, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

16.       No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

17.       No Joint Venture. Nothing provided herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common or joint tenancy relationship between or among any of the parties hereto.

18.       Captions. The captions in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and are not and shall not be deemed to be a part hereof.

19.       Conflicts. In the event of any conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any of the Loan Documents or the Subordinated Loan Documents, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

20.       No Release. Nothing herein contained shall operate to release Borrower from (a) its obligation to keep and perform all of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Loan Documents or (b) any liability of Borrower under the Loan Documents or to release Borrower from (x) its obligation to keep and perform all of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Subordinated Loan Documents or (y) any liability of Borrower under the Subordinated Loan Documents.

21.       Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application hereof to any party hereto shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Agreement and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provisions to parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

22.       Expenses.

(a)       Subordinated Lender agrees upon demand to pay to Lender the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and

Exhibit TT-15

expenses of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which Lender may incur in connection with the (i) exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Lender against Subordinated Lender hereunder to the extent that Lender is the prevailing party in any dispute with respect thereto or (ii) failure by Subordinated Lender to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(b)       Lender agrees upon demand to pay to Subordinated Lender the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which Subordinated Lender may incur in connection with the (i) exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Subordinated Lender against Lender hereunder to the extent that Subordinated Lender is the prevailing party in any dispute with respect thereto or (ii) failure by Lender to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

23.       Injunction. Lender and Subordinated Lender each acknowledge (and waive any defense based on a claim) that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy to redress a breach by the other hereunder and that a breach by either Lender or Subordinated Lender hereunder would cause irreparable harm to the other. Accordingly, Lender and Subordinated Lender agree that upon a breach of this Agreement by the other, the remedies of injunction, declaratory judgment and specific performance shall be available to such non breaching party.

24.       Each of Lender and Subordinated Lender acknowledges that the Loan, the Loan Documents, the Subordinated Loan and the Subordinated Loan Documents are distinct, separate transactions and loans, separate and apart from each other. Each of Lender and Subordinated Lender agrees that the other shall be treated as a separate lender with a distinct and separate loan.

25.       Waiver of Jury Trial. LENDER AND SUBORDINATED LENDER EACH EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

26.       Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and benefit both Lender and Subordinated Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Lender shall have the right to record this Agreement.

27.       Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

28.       Amendments. No provision of this Agreement shall be waived, amended or supplemented except by written agreement of the party charges with such waiver, amendment or supplement.

29.       Continuing Agreement. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (a) payment in full of the Loan, (b) transfer of the Project by foreclosure of the Loan Documents or the exercise of the power of sale

Exhibit TT-16

contained therein or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, (c) transfer of the Project by foreclosure of the Subordinated Loan Documents or the exercise of the power of sale contained therein or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or (d) payment in full of the Subordinated Loan; provided, however, any rights or remedies of either party hereto arising out of any breach of any provision herein occurring prior to such date of termination shall survive such termination.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

THIS TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of August 6, 2021, among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, Argentic Services Company LP, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Terms not defined in this Introductory Statement shall have the meanings specified in Article 1 hereof.

Reference is made to that certain ten year, interest-only, fixed-rate mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”), evidenced by three promissory notes (the “Notes”).

The Mortgage Loan was originated by Column Financial, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2021 (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Sponsor and 980 Madison Owner LLC (the “Loan Borrower”). As of the Cut-off Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan was $197,600,000.

The Mortgage Loan consists of (a) a portion that has an unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $71,500,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note A-1 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note A-1”), (b) a portion that has an unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $101,100,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note B (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note B” and together with Note A-1, the “Trust Loan Notes”) and (d) a portion that has an aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $25,000,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note A-2 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note A-2”). Note A-1 and Note A-2 are collectively referred to herein as the “A-Notes” and, each, as an “A-Note”. Note B is referred to herein as the “B-Note”. The Trust Loan Notes and Note A-2 are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes” and, each, as a “Note”.

As of the Cut-off Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Note A-1 and Note B is $172,600,000 (the “Trust Loan”). As of the Cut-off Date, the outstanding principal balance of Note A-2 is $25,000,000 (the “Companion Loan”).

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Sponsor sold the Trust Loan to the Depositor pursuant to a Trust Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021, by and between the Sponsor and the Depositor (the “Loan Purchase Agreement”).

As of the Closing Date, Note A-1 and the B-Note shall be held by the Trust, and Note A-2 was held by the Sponsor. The relative rights of the respective lenders in respect of the Mortgage Loan are set forth in a co-lender agreement dated as of July 6, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Co-Lender Agreement”), by and between the initial holders of the A-Notes and the initial holder of the B-Note. From and after

the Closing Date, the entire Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered in accordance with this Agreement.

As provided for herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause elections to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust Fund for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and, each, a “Trust REMIC”). Each Class of Regular Certificates will represent a single Class of “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as further described herein. Each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests will represent a single class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC as further described herein. The Class R Certificates will evidence the sole Class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.

In exchange for the Trust Loan and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, the Trust shall issue to the Depositor all the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class HRR and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), which Certificates in the aggregate shall evidence the entire beneficial interest in the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund consists principally of the Trust Loan Notes, the Mortgage and related Loan Documents (exclusive of the rights of the Companion Loan Holders thereunder) and all payments under, and proceeds of, the Trust Loan on and after the Cut-off Date.

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Initial Purchaser in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

As further described in Section 2.11, the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class HRR Certificates will evidence “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class UT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder, and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the class designation, the Pass-Through Rate and the aggregate initial Certificate Balance (the “Initial Certificate Balance”) or Notional Amount (“Initial Notional Amount”), as applicable, for each Class of Certificates and the Class UT-R Interest comprising the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

2

⁽¹⁾ The Class X Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance and will not be entitled to receive distributions of principal. Interest will accrue on such Class at the Pass-Through Rate thereof on the Notional Amount thereof. The Notional Amount of the Class X Certificates will be equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A, Class B and Class C Certificates. The Class X Pass-Through Rate for any Certificate Interest Accrual Period is a variable per annum rate and will equal the weighted average of the Class X Strip Rates for the Class A, Class B and Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of their respective Certificate Principal Balances immediately prior to that Distribution Date.

⁽³⁾ For any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rates of the Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class HRR Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the Net Trust Loan Rate for the related Certificate Interest Accrual Period (adjusted, if necessary, to accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months).

⁽⁴⁾ The Class UT-R Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each other Class of Certificates and the Class LT-R Interest, will be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the UT-R Interest.

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LHRR Uncertificated Interests will evidence “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class LT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the initial Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and Pass-Through Rates for the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Class LT-R Interest comprising the interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

3

Class Designation	Pass-Through Rate	Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount

Class LE	(1)	$ 16,000,000
Class LF	(1)	$ 24,600,000
Class LG	(1)	$ 24,700,000
Class LHRR	(1)	$ 14,950,000
Class LT-R	None(2)	None(2)

⁽¹⁾ For any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be the Net Trust Loan Rate for such Distribution Date.

⁽²⁾ The Class LT-R Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Charges. Any Available Funds constituting assets remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account after distributing the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LT-R Interest (but only to the extent of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, if any, remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account).

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

(b)       Collections by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of the Foreclosed Property (exclusive of amounts to be applied to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of such Foreclosed Property) shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, as a recovery of any related and unreimbursed Advances plus interest accrued on such advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Trust Loan, as applicable, and, without duplication, unreimbursed Loan Borrower Reimbursable Trust Fund Expenses; second, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances or interest on Nonrecoverable Advances to the extent previously reimbursed from principal collections with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Trust Loan, as applicable (which amount in respect of the Trust Loan is required to be treated as a collection on the Trust Loan in respect of principal in calculating the Regular Principal Distribution Amount); third, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on each Trust Loan Note that has not been the subject of a Monthly Payment Advance, to the extent of the excess of (i) accrued and unpaid interest on such outstanding Note at the applicable Note Rate (without giving effect to any increase in the Note Rate required under the Loan Agreement as a result of a Loan Event of Default) through and including the end of the Loan Interest Accrual Period in which such

61

collections were received by or on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of a full Monthly Payment from the Loan Borrower, through the related Distribution Date), over (ii) (x) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related Monthly Payment Advances for such Trust Loan Note that have occurred in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts and (y) with respect to any accrued and unpaid interest that was not advanced due to a determination that the related Monthly Payment Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the amount of interest that (absent such determination of nonrecoverability preventing such Monthly Payment Advance from being made) would not have been advanced because of the reductions in the amount of the interest portion of the related Monthly Payment Advances that would have occurred in connection with the application of the related Appraisal Reduction Amounts (to the extent that collections have not been applied as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to clause fifth in Section 1.3(a) or clause fifth below on earlier dates) (such accrued and unpaid interest to be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement); fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan, to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance (such principal to be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement); fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on each Trust Loan Note to the extent of the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related Monthly Payment Advances for such Note that have occurred in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts or would have occurred in connection with the application of related Appraisal Reduction Amounts but for such Monthly Payment Advances not having been made as a result of a determination by the Servicer that such Monthly Payment Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Advance (to the extent that collections have not been applied as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to clause fifth above or this clause fifth on earlier dates) (such accrued and unpaid interest to be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement); sixth, as a recovery of any Prepayment Charge then due and owing under the Loan Documents (such Prepayment Charge to be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement); seventh, as a recovery of any Default Interest or late charges then deemed to be due and owing under the Loan Documents; eighth, as a recovery of any assumption fees, assumption application fees, consent fees, defeasance fees (if applicable), release fees, substitution fees, Modification Fees and similar fees then due and owing under the Loan Documents; and ninth, as a recovery of any other amounts deemed to be due and owing in respect of the Loan Documents.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Co-Lender Agreement, but without changing any allocations under the Co-Lender Agreement between the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan, upon liquidation of the Trust Loan, a Note related to the Trust Loan or a Foreclosed Property, all Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or Note will be applied so that amounts allocated as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, will not, for purposes of making distributions on the Certificates, include accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan that has not been advanced by the Servicer as a result of Appraisal Reductions Amounts with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable (“Appraised Out Interest”). After the adjusted interest amount is so allocated, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, will be allocated to pay principal on the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, until the unpaid principal amount thereof has been reduced to zero. Any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, would then be allocated to pay Appraised Out Interest.

62

(d)       All net present value calculations and determinations made under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan, the Companion Loan or the Property or the Foreclosed Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Accepted Servicing Practices”) shall be made by the Special Servicer using a discount rate appropriate for the type of cash flows being discounted; namely (i) for principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan or such Companion Loan or sale of the Mortgage Loan or any portion thereof if it is a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the highest of (1) the rate determined by the Special Servicer that approximates the market rate that would be obtainable by the Loan Borrower on similar debt of the Loan Borrower as of such date of determination, (2) the Weighted Average Note Rate on the Mortgage Loan, Trust Loan or such Companion Loan, as the case may be based on their respective outstanding principal balances and (3) the yield on the most recently issued 10-year U.S. treasuries and (ii) for all other cash flows, including property cash flow, the “discount rate” set forth in the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provisions hereunder shall be construed to impose liability on the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor solely for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of the Trust Loan at any time after a determination of net present value is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

The Depositor shall cause the Sponsor to provide the Servicer a copy of the Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date and promptly following the Closing Date, at its own expense, with copies of all such other documents in its possession constituting part of the Mortgage File.

In addition, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for its review, all required insurance policies or certificates issued by the insurers showing such insurance to be in effect on the Closing Date, together with proof of payment of premiums relating thereto (which may consist of such policies or certificates).

The Depositor shall cause the Sponsor, within ten (10) Business Days after a request by the Servicer and Special Servicer, to deliver one (1) PDF power of attorney (and ten (10) originals of such power of attorney) to the requesting party that permits such party to take such other action as is necessary to effect the delivery, assignment and/or recordation of any documents and/or instruments relating to the Mortgage Loan which have not been delivered, assigned or recorded at the time required for enforcement by the Trust. Pursuant to the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor shall effect (at the expense of the Sponsor) the assignment and recordation of the Loan Documents until the assignment and recordation of all applicable Loan Documents have been completed.

The Assignment of the Mortgage, assignment of a Collateral Security Document (to the extent such documents are required to be recorded or filed) and UCC-3 financing statements to be filed in the appropriate public recording office for real property records or UCC financing statements shall be filed or recorded, as applicable, by the Sponsor or their designees, with instructions to return all such recorded documents, or other evidences of filing issued by the applicable governmental offices, to the Custodian at the office located at 1055 10^th Avenue Southeast, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55414, Attention: Document Custody Group CSMC 2021-980M, with a copy to the Servicer.

The Sponsor or its designee shall file or record (or cause to be filed or recorded) such substitute document upon its receipt thereof in the appropriate filing offices or record depositories. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1(b), in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgages, Assignment of Mortgages or assignment of a Collateral Security Document, if applicable, after any has been recorded, the obligations of the Depositor hereunder and the obligations of the Sponsor under the Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of a copy of such Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage or assignment of a Collateral Security

The Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer agree to take no action inconsistent with the Trustee’s ownership of the Trust Loan and to promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Trust Loan has been sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Trust Loan. All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loan that are not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.1(b) to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian.

The conveyance of the Trust Loan and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is absolute and is intended by the Depositor to constitute an absolute sale and transfer of the Trust Loan and such other related rights and property by the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in exchange for the Certificates being sold by the Depositor. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for the Trust Loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for the Trust Loan, however, the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust Loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee also intend and agree that, in such event, (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, (ii) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the assets constituting the Trust Fund, including the Trust Loan subject hereto from time to time, all amounts received on or with respect to the Trust Loan after the Closing Date, all amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, and, if established, the Foreclosed Property Account, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest under the Loan Purchase Agreement, (iii) the possession by the Custodian or its agent of the Notes with respect to the Trust Loan subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law, and (iv) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

(c)       Upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall (i) deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Loan Borrower, the Servicer and the Special Servicer a final exception report as to any remaining documents that are not in the Mortgage File and (ii) request that the Sponsor cause such document deficiency to be cured.

The Servicer (if the Trust Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Trust Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan) shall determine if any such Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Trust Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein or causes the Trust Loan to not be a Qualified Mortgage (any such Defect or Breach, a “Material Document Defect” and a “Material Breach,” respectively).

The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement (it being understood that a Liquidation Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer as and only to the extent provided herein): first, from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the Sponsor; second, out of the Repurchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to clause (viii) of Section 3.4(c) out of collections on the Trust Loan on deposit in the Collection Account.

(A)      any relationship that the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any affiliate thereof may have with the Loan Borrower, the Sponsor, the Depositor, any Companion Loan Holders or any of their respective affiliates;

Subject to the above-described servicing standards (hereinafter referred to as “Accepted Servicing Practices”) and the terms of this Agreement and of the Loan Documents, the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through one or more sub-servicers as provided in Section 3.2, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan in accordance with applicable state and federal law. At the written request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, accompanied by the form of power of attorney or other documents being requested, the Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney (in the form of either Exhibit N-1 or Exhibit N-2, as applicable, hereto or such other form that is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and to the Trustee) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or the Special Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be held responsible (and shall be indemnified by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, including all reasonable costs, expenses, losses and liabilities incurred by the Trustee in bringing any type of suit or action against the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in a court of law or in any other forum) for any negligence or misuse by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its uses of any such powers of attorney or other document. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s prior written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the representative capacity of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (ii) take any action with the intent to, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

81

The liability of each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, for actions and omissions in its capacity as Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.3). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectibility of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan.

The parties hereto acknowledge that the Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the Co-Lender Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and of the Companion Loan Holders under the Co-Lender Agreement, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Companion Loan Holders; (ii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to the Mortgage Loan to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Companion Loan Holders and (iii) to the extent provided for under the Co-Lender Agreement, the consultation rights of the Companion Loan Holders. With respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer (if the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan or any Property has been converted to a Foreclosed Property) shall prepare and provide to each Companion Loan Holder all notices, reports, statements and communications to be delivered by the holder of the Trust Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement, and shall perform all duties and obligations to be performed by a servicer and perform all servicing related duties and obligations to be performed by the holder of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Co-Lender Agreement, the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement shall control with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall the Servicer or the Trustee be required to make any advance of delinquent scheduled monthly payments of principal or interest with respect to the Companion Loan.

To the extent required under the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, the Servicer shall, on behalf of the Loan Lender, maintain a note register for the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement. The Sponsor is the initial and sole holder of the Companion Loan as of the Closing Date, and notices regarding such ownership shall be addressed to the Sponsor at the address set forth in Section 10.4.

Section 3.2.     Sub-Servicing Agreements.   (a) The Special Servicer shall not engage any sub-servicer or enter into any sub-servicing agreement. The Servicer, at its own expense without a right of reimbursement under this Agreement or otherwise, may enter into sub-servicing agreements with sub-servicers for the servicing and administration of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan, provided that (i) any such sub-servicing agreement shall be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer and the sub-servicer have agreed, and (ii) no sub-servicer retained by the Servicer shall grant any modification, waiver, or amendment to the Loan Documents without the approval of the Servicer. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loan include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer. Each sub-servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business and licensed in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer

82

to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement, and (ii) qualified to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any amount when the sub-servicer receives such amount, irrespective of whether such amount is remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, any Cash Management Account, any Reserve Account or the Distribution Account, and actions taken by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer. The Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Loan Borrower and the Depositor in writing promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon its request, with a copy of the sub-servicing agreement. No sub-servicer shall be permitted to enter into any sub-servicing agreement with other sub-servicers without the prior written consent of the Servicer.

(b)       Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement, or by virtue of indemnification from a sub-servicer, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan.

(c)       Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or if the Servicer is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a successor Servicer if such successor Servicer has assumed the duties of the Servicer, without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the successor Servicer, the Trust or the Trust Fund.

(d)       Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loan involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such sub-servicer alone, and the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, and no provision herein shall be construed so as to require the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor to indemnify any such sub-servicer. The Servicer is permitted, at its own expense, or to the extent that a particular expense is provided herein to be an Advance or an expense of the Trust, at the expense of the Trust, to utilize other agents or attorneys typically used by servicers of mortgage loans underlying commercial mortgage backed securities in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(e)       Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to a third party, including an Affiliate of the Servicer or Special Servicer, respectively. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions

83

hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan as required hereby.

Section 3.3.     Cash Management Account.   A Cash Management Account has been or shall be established pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. The Servicer shall exercise and enforce the rights of the Trust Fund with respect to the Cash Management Account under the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the other terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.4.     Collection Account.   (a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (or subaccounts) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders substantially in the name of “KeyBank National Association, as Servicer on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders of CSMC 2021-980M, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-980M” (collectively, the “Collection Account”). The Collection Account must be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified and available funds the following amounts representing payments and collections received or made during each Collection Period on or with respect to the Mortgage Loan:

(i)        all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loan;

(iv)      any other amounts payable for the benefit of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under the Trust Loan;

The foregoing requirements for deposits in the Collection Account by the Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments (if any) in the nature of additional compensation (other than Default Interest and late payment charges) to which the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable are entitled pursuant to Section 3.17 and any reimbursement made by the Loan Borrower of expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer or Special Servicer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such fees and expense reimbursements received with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

(b)       Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8. The Servicer shall on the Closing Date give written notice to the Certificate Administrator of the location and account number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall withdraw from the related Collection Account and remit to the Companion Loan Holders (or, if the Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization Trust, to the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, any amounts that represent late collections on the related Companion Loan (exclusive of any portion of such amount payable or reimbursable to any other party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, unless such amount would otherwise be included in the remittances set forth in clauses (vii) and (viii) ; provided, however, to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such late collections to the Companion Loan Holders (or, if the Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization Trust, to the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing

87

Agreement) within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds but, in any event, the Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Remittance Date, in no event will the Servicer be permitted to make a withdrawal pursuant to clauses (iii), (v)(b), (vi), (ix) or (xi) to the extent that, as a result of such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to the withdrawal would be less than the amount of the Required Advance Amount; provided that the Servicer shall be permitted to make withdrawals up to the amount on deposit in the Collection Account up to an amount that would result in funds equaling or exceeding the Required Advance Amount remaining in the Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such withdrawal limitations shall not apply (and accrued amounts previously eligible for withdrawal pursuant to clauses (iii), (v)(b), (vi), (ix) or (xi) but which remain unpaid due to the operation of this paragraph may then be withdrawn and paid) upon (1) the final liquidation of the Trust Loan or the Property, (2) the final payment of the Trust Loan and release of the Mortgages or (3) the determination that any Advance that would increase the currently unreimbursed Advances in the aggregate would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer shall advance, to the extent it determines that such amounts are recoverable, all amounts owed to itself (other than Servicing Fees), CREFC^®, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee pursuant to such clauses (iii), (v)(b), (vi) (to the extent reimbursements of such amounts are owed to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator), (ix) or (xi) (other than unreimbursed Property Protection Advances and Monthly Payment Advances made by the Servicer, which shall continue to remain outstanding) (such advances, “Administrative Advances”) to the extent it determines (x) the Borrower is obligated to reimburse the Trust for such amounts pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and (y) such amounts have not otherwise been paid specifically by the Borrower. All Administrative Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.21. Notwithstanding any provision herein, the Servicer shall not be obligated to make any Administrative Advance that it determines, together with interest thereon, will constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made.

The Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator (on behalf of itself and the Trustee), the Operating Advisor and advance or pay to the Special Servicer, if applicable, from the Collection Account as provided above amounts permitted to be paid to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, therefrom, promptly upon receipt of certificates of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer and a Responsible Officer of the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee, respectively, are entitled; provided, however, that the Servicer shall pay the Certificate Administrator Fee to the Certificate Administrator without requiring the delivery of such certificate. The Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate, shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein and shall have no liability if the amount paid in reliance thereon is an amount to which the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is not entitled.

(d)       The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a segregated non-interest bearing reserve account (which may be a subaccount of the Distribution

88

Account) (the “Interest Reserve Account”). The Interest Reserve Account must be an Eligible Account or a subaccount of an Eligible Account. Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account shall be uninvested. On each Distribution Date occurring in any February and on any Distribution Date occurring in any January that occurs in a year that is not a leap year (unless, in either case, such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to one day’s net interest collected on the principal balance of each Trust Loan Note as of the Loan Payment Date occurring in the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs at the applicable Net Trust Loan Rate (net of the Servicing Fee, the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee, the Operating Advisor Fee and the Certificate Administrator Fee payable therefrom and exclusive of Default Interest) to the extent a full Monthly Payment or Monthly Payment Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On each Remittance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January and February, if any, and transfer such amounts into the Distribution Account.

Section 3.5.     Distribution Account.   (a) The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Distribution Account”), which shall be deemed to include the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, which shall be subaccounts of the Distribution Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. The Distribution Account must be an Eligible Account. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall transfer from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account all Available Funds remaining on deposit therein, after giving effect to the withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.4(c). The Certificate Administrator shall credit the funds remitted by the Servicer from the Collection Account to the Distribution Account. Amounts held in the Distribution Account shall be uninvested.

The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Distribution Account to make distributions to the Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1.

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall make or be deemed to have made withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in the following order of priority and only for the following purposes:

(i)        to make deposits of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.3(b) into the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and to make distributions to the Holder of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) pursuant to Section 4.1(b);

(ii)       to withdraw amounts deposited into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in error and pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto; and

(iii)      to clear and terminate the Lower-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.1.

89

(c)       The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in the following order of priority and only for the following purposes:

(i)        to withdraw amounts deposited in error and to withdraw amounts due to it under Section 3.4(c), to the extent such amounts were not withdrawn and paid to it by the Servicer under Section 3.4(c);

(ii)       to make distributions to Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 9.1 as applicable; and

(iii)      to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.

Section 3.6.     Foreclosed Property Account.   The Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more deposit accounts (the “Foreclosed Property Account”) in the name of either (a) “Argentic Services Company LP, as Special Servicer on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of CSMC 2021-980M, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-980M” related to the Foreclosed Property, if any, held in the name of the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders or (b) in the name of the limited liability company formed under Section 3.14. The Foreclosed Property Account must be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Foreclosed Property Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt all funds collected and received in connection with the operation or ownership of such Foreclosed Property. On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw the funds in the Foreclosed Property Account, net of certain expenses and/or reserves, and deposit them into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a). The Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing of the location and account number of the Foreclosed Property Account and shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.

Section 3.7.     Appraisal Reductions.   (a) Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event of which the Special Servicer has knowledge, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (and so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) (i) of the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, (ii) (A) order and (B) use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to obtain an independent Appraisal of the Property (unless an appraisal of the Property was performed within nine (9) months prior to the Appraisal Reduction Event and the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change in the market or condition or value of the Property since the date of such Appraisal (in which case, such appraisal shall be used by the Special Servicer)) and (iii) determine (no later than the first Distribution Date on or following the receipt of such appraisal or determination to use an existing Appraisal) (so long as such Appraisal was received at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date (in which case it shall determine no later than the second Distribution Date following the receipt of such Appraisal)) on the basis of the applicable Appraisal, and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer in the Servicer’s possession (or reasonably

90

obtainable by the Servicer) necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount (which information shall be delivered within two (2) Business Days after receipt of any such request) whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and, if so, give reasonably prompt notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders (or, in the case of the Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the master servicer, special servicer and trustee with respect to such Other Securitization Trust) and the Certificate Administrator. The cost of obtaining such appraisal shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and in such case, as an expense of the Trust. Updates of appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer and paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) every nine (9) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists, and the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly, and, if required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Certificates that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored (or reduced if applicable) to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is then in effect. Any such appraisal obtained shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and, so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative, in electronic format (which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator), and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates that is or would be determined to no longer be the Controlling Class (such Class, an “Appraised Out Class” and such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”) as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of any Property an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred. The Requesting Holders shall cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards, and the Appraisal shall be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.

An Appraised Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until 10 days following its receipt of written notice of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, unless the Requesting Holders provide written notice of their intent to challenge such Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator within such 10-day period pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Requesting Holders provide such notice, then the Appraised Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until the earliest of (i) 120 days following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, unless the Requesting Holders provide the second appraisal within such 120 day period, (ii) the determination by the Special Servicer (described below) that a recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is not warranted or that such recalculation does not result in the

91

Appraised Out Class remaining the Controlling Class and (iii) the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event. After the Appraised Out Class is no longer entitled to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, no Class of Certificates will be permitted to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, unless a recalculation results in the reinstatement of the Appraised Out Class as the Controlling Class.

In addition to the foregoing, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Appraised Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of the Property if an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and if an event has occurred at or with regard to the Property that would have a material effect on its Appraised Value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that no events at or with regard to the Property have occurred that would have a material effect on such Appraised Value of the Property.

Upon receipt of an Appraisal provided by, or requested by, Holders of an Appraised Out Class pursuant to this Section and any other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer (but only to the extent in the Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Servicer) reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation in its monthly report, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by, or obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of, Holders of an Appraised Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised Out Class.

(b)       While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, (i) the amount of any Monthly Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.21(a), and (ii) the existence thereof will be taken into account for purposes of determining (a) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c) or (b) if a Control Termination Event is continuing.

(c)       The Certificate Balance of each class of the Sequential Pay Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of the related Classes and the Controlling Class and (y) whether a Control Termination Event is continuing on any Distribution Date) on any Distribution Date, to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount

92

allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. The Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated, first, to Note B, up to its respective outstanding principal balance, and then to Note A-1 and the Companion Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on their relative outstanding principal balances). The Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Trust Loan Notes for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class HRR Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Certificates; and seventh, to the Class B Certificates; (provided that in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of any Class A Certificate.

(d)       In the event that a portion(s) of one or more Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Trust Loan was reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amounts of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal have been applied to pay the principal of the Trust Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 1.3.

(e)       If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) with respect to the Property, either (A) no Appraisal or update of the Appraisal has been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the nine (9) month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until the new Appraisal is obtained for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the appraised value of the Property for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be equal to 75% of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (the “Assumed Appraised Value”), and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, shall be based on such new Appraisal and the Appraisal Reduction Amount will be recalculated in accordance with the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for purposes of determining whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is then in effect or the allocation of Voting Rights for certain purposes, the Assumed Appraised Value shall not be allocated to any Class of Certificates; provided, however, this sentence shall not affect in any manner the effect of Appraisal Reduction Amounts based upon anything other than the Assumed Appraised Value.

Section 3.8.     Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, Any Foreclosed Property Account, the Cash Management Account and Any Reserve Account.   (a) The Servicer (and, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account, the Special Servicer) may direct any

93

depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Cash Management Account, any Reserve Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower) or the Foreclosed Property Account, respectively (each, for purposes of this Section 3.8, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction, which shall be in the control of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account) as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent (which shall initially be the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or its nominee. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

(i)         consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(ii)        demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.

(b)       All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Cash Management Account and any Reserve Account, but only to the extent that the Loan Documents do not require such funds to be remitted to the Loan Borrower, shall be for the benefit of the Servicer in accordance with the terms and priorities of this Agreement. All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer. Any net losses on funds in the Collection Account, the Cash Management Account any Reserve Account or the Foreclosed Property Account shall be reimbursed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its own funds promptly, but in any event on or prior to the Remittance Date following the realization of such loss.

94

(c)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Servicer shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Servicer takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.4(c), for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Servicer in connection therewith.

(d)          For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account (other than the portion of the Collection Account relating to amounts held on behalf of the Companion Loan Holders describe in clause (ii) of the definition thereof), the Foreclosed Property Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC, each for federal income tax purposes.

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer, nor the Special Servicer shall cover any losses from the bankruptcy or insolvency of a depository institution holding an account described in this Section 3.8, so long as (i) such depositary institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution at the time such deposit was made and such institution was not an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable and (ii) such loss was incurred within 30 days after the earlier of (a) the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency or (b) the date on which the depositary institution or trust company failed to satisfy the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution.

Section 3.9.     Payment of Taxes, Assessments, etc. The Servicer (other than with respect to the Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Foreclosed Property) shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Property (or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the Property (or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof. The Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums). The Servicer shall pay (or cause to be paid) real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with the Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Loan Documents. If the Loan Borrower does not make the necessary payments and/or a Loan Event of Default has occurred and amounts in the applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments, the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.21, from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to the Property when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer shall ensure that the amount of funds in the applicable Reserve Account is increased when and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items, ground rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

Section 3.10.    Appointment of Special Servicer. (a) Argentic Services Company LP is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan while a Special

95

Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing and perform the other obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder.

(b)          If there is a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to any Special Servicer, such Special Servicer may be removed and replaced pursuant to Section 7.1. The Trustee shall, promptly after receiving notice of any such removal, so notify the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders and, subject to Section 10.17, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16). The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified above shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer. No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee and Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee. Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5(a) mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession. The terminated Special Servicer shall retain all rights accruing to it under this Agreement, including the right to receive fees accrued prior to its termination and other amounts payable to it (including indemnification payments).

(c)           Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, and the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto (and concurrently provide a copy of such Mortgage File, exclusive of all Privileged Information, to the Operating Advisor). The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Servicer in any event shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of the Mortgage Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, which shall occur, in the case of a Special Servicing Loan Event, upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. The Special Servicer shall instruct the Loan Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the Loan Borrower while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing.

(d)          Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event is no longer continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Companion Loan Holders, and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation

96

to service the Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.

(e)           In making a Major Decision or in servicing the Mortgage Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Certificate Administrator originals of documents entered into in connection therewith that are required to be included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the Loan Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer as well as copies of any related analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

(f)           During any period in which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, no later than the Business Day preceding each date on which the Servicer is required to furnish a report under Section 3.18(a) to the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer a written statement (or, if applicable, one or more CREFC^® reports that contain the information in clause (i) below) describing (i) the amount of all payments on account of interest received on each Note, the amount of all payments on account of principal received on each Note, the amount of Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received, the amount of any Foreclosure Proceeds received with respect to the Property, and the amount of net income or net loss, as determined from management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any rental income that does not constitute rents from real property with respect to, the Foreclosed Property, in each case in accordance with Section 3.15 and (ii) such additional information relating to the Mortgage Loan as the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(g)           Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to the Mortgage Loan and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(h)          The Special Servicer, at the earlier of (x) within 60 days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and (y) prior to taking action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the Mortgage Loan. Each Asset Status Report will be delivered in electronic format to the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect), the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders (as and to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement) and, subject to Section 10.17, the Rating Agency; provided, however, that (1) the Special Servicer shall not be required to deliver an Asset Status Report to the Controlling Class Representative if they are the same entity or affiliates of each other and (2) the Special Servicer shall not deliver any Asset Status Report to the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling

Class Certificateholder that is a Borrower Related Party. Such Asset Status Report shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

(i)           summary of the status of the Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the Loan Borrower;

(ii)          a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known at such time to the Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the Mortgage Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

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

(iv)         the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how the Mortgage Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise realized upon;

(v)          the appraised value of the Property together with the appraisal or the assumptions used in the calculation thereof;

(vi)         the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect thereto, any proposed workouts with respect thereto and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of additional Loan Events of Default;

(vii)        a description of any proposed actions;

(viii)       a description of any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of a ground lease, if applicable;

(ix)          the alternative courses of action considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed actions;

(x)           the decision that the Special Servicer made or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives; and an analysis of whether or not taking such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable discount rate used) and all related assumptions. In connection with the foregoing analysis, if the Loan Borrower has indicated its refusal to pay any Work-out Fees, Special Servicing Fees or Liquidation Fees due to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer must consider the costs to the Trust and analyze the exercise of alternative remedies;

(xi)          a summary of the status of any action that was described in the most recent prior Asset Status Report and subsequently effected by the Special Servicer; and

98

(xii)         such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed action and Accepted Servicing Practices.

For so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Controlling Class Representative will have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Asset Status Report. For so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if within 10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Controlling Class Representative does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the disapproval by the Controlling Class Representative (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders, then the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, Accepted Servicing Practices or the terms of the applicable Loan Documents. In addition, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative may object to any asset status report within ten (10) business days of receipt; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer determines that action recommended in an Asset Status Report is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Certificateholders from potential harm if such action is not taken, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and (so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Class Representative. If, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made an affirmative determination pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the related Companion Loan Holders and, subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. So long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the Controlling Class Representative shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constitute a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note) provided that, if the Controlling Class Representative has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of sixty (60) Business Days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall act on the direction of the Controlling Class Representative unless such direction is not consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred

99

to as the “Controlling Class Representative Approval Process”. For so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall provide each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor promptly after the completion of the Controlling Class Representative Approval Process.

The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with the Specially Serviced Loan to (i) the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred). After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with, and provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of each Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Controlling Class Certificates), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action, if any, and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing. The Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Controlling Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Co-Lender Agreement or the terms of the applicable Loan Documents and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole. Promptly upon determining to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative), the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor (and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative) the revised Asset Status Report until a Final Asset Status Report is issued.

In connection with the approval or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative and/or Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report, if the Special Servicer determines that action recommended in an Asset Status Report is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Certificateholders from potential harm if such action is not taken, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor, as applicable.

100

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10(h). After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor, shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer (telephonically or electronically) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the Special Servicer shall only be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor (provided that an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing) with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative.

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided that such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.10(h). In any event, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if the Controlling Class Representative does not approve an Asset Status Report within sixty (60) Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the Controlling Class Representative, provided that such action does not violate Accepted Servicing Practices.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10(h). The Special Servicer will be required to (x) deliver to the Certificate Administrator a proposed notice to the Certificateholders that will include a summary of the Final Asset Status Report in an electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator (which must be a brief summary of the current status of the Property and current strategy with respect to the Mortgage Loan), and the Certificate Administrator will be required to post such notice and summary (but not such Final Asset Status Report) on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (y) implement the Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the Depositor. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and, following delivery of such modified Asset Status Report to the 17g-5 Information Provider and a summary of the same to the Certificate Administrator, which the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Certificate Administrator, respectively shall post on their respective Websites pursuant to Section 8.14(c) or Section 10.16, as applicable.

101

(i)           During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Loan Borrower and take any actions consistent with Section 3.22, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Asset Status Report.

(j)           In addition, during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, on the last day of each Collection Period the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

(k)          The Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer if any Property is abandoned or foreclosed and requires reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness or cancellation of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall report to the IRS and the Loan Borrower, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Servicer shall report, via Form 1099C or 1099A, all forgiveness or cancellation of indebtedness and abandonment or foreclosure of any Property to the extent such information has been provided to the Servicer by the Special Servicer. The Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, and, upon request, to the Special Servicer.

(l)           Beginning in 2022, the Special Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of the Property required by Section 6050J of the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.

(m)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor that would require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law or provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”), be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.

Section 3.11.  Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall use efforts consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices to cause to be maintained by the Loan Borrower (or if the Loan Borrower fail to maintain such insurance in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, has an insurable interest) insurance with respect to the Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained (to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided that the commercially reasonable requirement shall not apply with respect to terrorism insurance which will be governed by the Loan Documents) by the Loan Borrower under the Loan Documents. The cost of any such insurance maintained by the

102

Servicer shall be advanced by the Servicer, as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be paid by the Trust, and as applicable, by the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain, and shall not cause the Loan Borrower to be in default with respect to the failure of the Loan Borrower to obtain, all-risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve-out for terrorist or similar acts, if and only if the Special Servicer has determined, on an annual basis, that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default. In making any determination related to an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, is entitled to rely on the opinion of an insurance consultant. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain terrorism insurance pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Loan Borrower would not be obligated to maintain terrorism insurance under the Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof.

(b)          The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained such insurance (including environmental insurance) with respect to the Foreclosed Property the Loan Borrower is required to maintain with respect to the Property referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3.11 or, at the Special Servicer’s election, coverage satisfying insurance requirements consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of any such insurance with respect to the Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under subsection (a) of this Section 3.11) that is required to be maintained with respect to the Foreclosed Property shall only be so required to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the Servicer’s failure to make such Advance) shall make an Advance of the premiums to maintain such insurance, provided that, in each such case, such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances, the Trustee as mortgagee of record having an insurable interest and the availability of such insurance at commercially reasonable rates.

(c)           The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may satisfy its obligations to cause insurance policies to be maintained by maintaining a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against losses on the Property or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be for which coverage is otherwise required to be maintained as set forth in the preceding subsections of this Section 3.11. The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to the Property or the Foreclosed Property, if not borne by the Loan Borrower, shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited therein but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the Mortgage Loan, or in the absence

103

of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(d)          Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, the issuer of which is rated no lower than the applicable Qualified Insurer Ratings, covering its directors, officers and employees, as applicable, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Each such insurance policy shall protect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, against losses resulting directly from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons. Coverage of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate thereof and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.11(d) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.11(d). The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and the Special Servicer. If no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan for FNMA or FHLMC or as otherwise approved by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy. Each of the Servicer and Special Servicer shall use reasonable effort to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements as described above. In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to such risks so long as its (or its immediate or ultimate parent’s) long term unsecured debt rating is rated no lower than “A-” by S&P, “A-” by Fitch, “A3” by Moody’s, “A-:VIII” by A.M. Best, “A(low)” by DBRS, Inc., or “A-” or its equivalent by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC (if rated by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC) (or such other rating as to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained).

(e)           No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect. The Certificate Administrator will make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder on a confidential basis.

(f)           The Operating Advisor shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy, the issuer of which is rated no lower than the applicable Qualified Insurer Ratings, covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

Section 3.12.   Procedures with Respect to the Mortgage Loan; Realization upon the Property. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default, the Special Servicer on behalf

104

of the Trustee, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall promptly pursue the remedies set forth therein, including foreclosure or other realization on the Property and the other collateral for the Mortgage Loan. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the applicable Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(b)          Such proposed acceleration of the Mortgage Loan and/or foreclosure on the Property shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Loan Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Mortgage Loan to cure the Loan Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Section 860G(c) of the Code).

(c)           In connection with such foreclosure as described in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Property, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore the Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, permitted the related insurance policy to lapse in violation of its respective obligations hereunder. If the Servicer does expend its own funds to restore the Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause (which insurance policy did not lapse in violation of the Servicer’s obligations), such expense shall be a Property Protection Advance. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not foreclose on the Property on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders and thereby cause the Trust to be the beneficial owner of the Property, or take any other action with respect to the Property that would cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of the Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared at the expense of the Trust by an independent person who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties (a copy of such report to be provided by the Special Servicer to the Companion Loan Holders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator), that (i) the Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that taking the remedial actions necessary to comply with such laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions and (ii) there are no circumstances known to the Special Servicer relating to the use of hazardous substances or petroleum-based materials which require investigation or remediation, or that if such circumstances exist taking such remedial actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions. The Special Servicer

105

shall deliver a copy of any such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, subject to Section 10.17).

If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note) (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, then subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to consent to, and the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor to consult in respect of, such action, as applicable, and subject to the rights of the Mezzanine Lender, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any Collateral other than the Property unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) to the effect that such acquisition will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (other than the imposition of a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Section 860G(c) of the Code).

The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(e)           The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(d) shall be prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the Servicer in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of each such environmental site assessment shall qualify as a Property Protection Advance and shall be advanced by the Servicer unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(f)           Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to the Property following a Loan Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan and cancellation of the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan, the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding and, in the case of the Trust Loan, held in the Trust Fund for purposes of the application of collections and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan or the Companion Loan immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(b) and the Co-Lender Agreement.

(g)           Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire and hold for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property (including any non-real property Collateral) pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:

106

(i)      such personal property is incident to interests in real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or

(ii)     the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be treated as a trust fund expense) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding (and such Opinion of Counsel may be premised on the designation hereby of any such personal property as being deemed part of an “outside reserve fund” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h)) with the owner of such personal property for federal income tax purposes to be designated at such time).

Section 3.13.   Trustee, Certificate Administrator and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Items in the Mortgage File. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of the Mortgage Loan or Foreclosure of or realization on the Property, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of written request of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a request for release in the form of Exhibit B hereto, release or cause to be released any items from the Mortgage File to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within the lesser of (i) seven (7) calendar days and (ii) five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the related receipt for release. The Special Servicer shall institute all Foreclosures as an authorized delegate of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, pursuant to a limited power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 hereto from the Trustee to the Special Servicer. In the event that the Special Servicer cannot institute a Foreclosure in its own name, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer, execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such Foreclosure. Such receipt for release shall obligate the Servicer or the Special Servicer to (and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall) return such items to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer exists.

Section 3.14.   Title and Management of Foreclosed Property. (a) In the event that title to the Property is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly-owned by the Trust (such limited liability company, the “Foreclosure LLC”) and which is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer, provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance). Promptly after such acquisition of title, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to such Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a reimbursable expense of the Special Servicer related to the foreclosure. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property held by the Trust as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in any event within the time

107

period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section 3.15 and Section 12.2. Subject to Section 12.2 and Section 3.14(e), the Special Servicer shall hire on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders a Successor Manager to manage, conserve, protect and operate such Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such Foreclosed Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property. In connection with such management, the Successor Manager shall be entitled to the REO Management Fee solely from the Foreclosed Property Account or the Collection Account.

(b)          The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the Foreclosed Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to the Foreclosed Property a Foreclosed Property Account in (A) the name of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.6 or (B) the name of the Foreclosure LLC.

(c)           The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note) on such terms as are appropriate and necessary for the efficient operation or liquidation, as applicable, of the Foreclosed Property, so long as the Special Servicer deems such actions to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer may retain an independent contractor to operate and manage the Foreclosed Property; provided, however, the retention of an independent contractor will not relieve the Special Servicer of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Foreclosed Property.

The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Foreclosed Property Account all revenues received with respect to the Foreclosed Property, and the Special Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the Foreclosed Property and for other expenses related to the preservation and protection of the Foreclosed Property, including, but not limited to:

(i)           all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of the Foreclosed Property;

(ii)          all taxes, assessments, charges or other similar items in respect of the Foreclosed Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

(iii)         all costs and expenses necessary to preserve the Foreclosed Property, including the payment of ground rent, if any.

108

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)          On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the Foreclosed Property Account and deposit into the Collection Account the properly identified proceeds and collections received or collected since the preceding Remittance Date through the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date on or with respect to the Foreclosed Property (including any funds no longer needed in any reserves established as provided below), net of expenses paid therefrom and amounts reasonably expected to be needed to fund any reserves deemed necessary for the operation, preservation and protection of the Foreclosed Property, including without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for working capital, repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

(e)          The Special Servicer, in the name of the Trust, shall (subject to Section 3.14(a)) contract with any Successor Manager for the operation and management of the Foreclosed Property; provided that no such contract shall impose individual liability on the Trustee or the Trust; provided, further, that:

(i)           the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii)          any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Successor Manager (A) request that the Special Servicer pay from the Foreclosed Property Account all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Foreclosed Property, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account;

(iii)         none of the provisions of this Section 3.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Successor Manager shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties and obligations to the Trust on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders with respect to the operation and management of such Foreclosed Property; and

(iv)         the Successor Manager shall be permitted to perform construction (including renovations) on such Foreclosed Property only if the construction was more than 10% complete at the time default on the Trust Loan became imminent.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required, to enter into an agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. All REO Management Fees shall be Trust Fund Expenses

109

payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(xi). The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders. Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.

Section 3.15.   Sale of Foreclosed Property. (a) The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, shall sell the Foreclosed Property on a servicing released basis in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, in no event later than the Rated Final Distribution Date in a manner provided under this Section 3.15 and Section 12.2(b) and subject to Section 12.2(c).

(b)          Subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in Section 6.5 and the consultation rights of the Operating Advisor to the extent set forth in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid for the Foreclosed Property received from any person that is at least equal to the Repurchase Price attributable to the Foreclosed Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of any such bid, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, that the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) determines is a fair price based on Appraisals obtained within the last nine (9) months. If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisal and such determination shall be binding upon all parties. The requirements of this Agreement may result in lower sales proceeds than would otherwise be the case. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any person other than an Interested Person) if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note). Any Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate, the Controlling Class Representative or any affiliate of the foregoing shall be entitled to participate in, and submit a bid in connection with, any sale of Foreclosed Property, to the same extent as any other Certificateholder; provided that any such Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate and the Controlling Class Representative shall for all purposes be considered an Interested Person.

(c)           Subject to the provisions of Section 3.14, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the Foreclosed Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Foreclosed Property shall be without recourse to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer, the

110

Special Servicer, the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Special Servicer shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(d)          The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to this Section 3.15, after deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a).

(e)           Within 30 days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders and the Certificate Administrator a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the Repurchase Price of the Foreclosed Property, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request.

(f)           Upon the Servicer’s written request, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer such reports and other information in its possession or reasonably obtainable by the Special Servicer as the Servicer needs in its reasonable discretion to perform its obligations under this Agreement. In no event shall the Special Servicer be required to deliver a summary of any interim or draft Asset Status Report.

Section 3.16.     Sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Trust Loan. (a) (i) Promptly upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) Appraisals. The Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to promptly notify in writing the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, and the Companion Loan Holders, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect), and the Trustee, and, within the time period specified in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Mezzanine Lender, of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event. Upon delivery by the Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, and subject to the rights of the Mezzanine Lender to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person, the Mortgage Loan or may offer to purchase the Mortgage Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note) on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is in effect) not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Mortgage Loan, in

111

which case the Special Servicer shall be required to accept the highest offer received from any Person (other than any Interested Person) for the Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Par Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Par Price therefor, the Special Servicer may purchase the Mortgage Loan at the Par Price. The Companion Loan is to be sold together with the Trust Loan, subject to this Section 3.16 and any additional requirements set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.

(ii)           In the absence of any offer at least equal to the Par Price (or purchase by the Special Servicer for the Repurchase Price), the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received that is determined by the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) to be a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisal and such determination shall be binding upon all parties. All reasonable costs and fees of the Trustee in making such determination will be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then as an expense of the Trust. The Trustee, in its individual capacity, may not make an offer for or purchase the Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Mortgage Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by, and will be paid in advance by the Interested Person as a condition to the Trustee’s determination; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. Any Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate, the Controlling Class Representative or any Affiliate of the foregoing will be entitled to participate in, and submit a bid in connection with, any sale of the Mortgage Loan to the same extent as any other Certificateholder; provided that any such Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate and the Controlling Class Representative shall for all purposes be considered an Interested Person.

(iii)         The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Applicable Servicing Practices, that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Applicable Servicing Practices, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion

112

Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Note), provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of any of them. So long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the foregoing rights of the Special Servicer shall be subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative. The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to sell the Mortgage Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

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

(b)          The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Mortgage Loan after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as set forth in clause (a) above (or if exercised but the purchase of the Mortgage Loan has not yet occurred, the Special Servicer’s right shall terminate and such exercise shall be of no further force or effect) if the Mortgage Loan is no longer delinquent as a result of any of the following: (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Defaulted Mortgage Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of the workout arrangement, (iii) the Mortgage Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off) or (iv) the Mezzanine Lender has exercised its purchase option for the Mortgage Loan set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)          Any sale of the Mortgage Loan shall be for cash only, and shall be in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(a) without the written consent of the Companion Loan Holders (provided that such consent is not required from a Companion Loan Holder if such Companion Loan Holder is the Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the Companion Loan Holders: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisals for the Property, and any documents in the Loan File reasonably requested by such Companion Loan Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided that such Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Any Companion Loan Holder will be permitted to make offers to purchase, and either such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the Mortgage Loan.

113

(e)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, a Mezzanine Lender will have the right to purchase the Mortgage Loan, and cure defaults relating thereto, as and to the extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 3.17.   Servicing Compensation. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including any Foreclosed Property) payable monthly from the Collection Account or otherwise in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(c). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain as compensation any late payment charges and certain other customary charges and fees to the extent described below, as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder, in each case, to the extent actually received from the Loan Borrower and permitted by, or not prohibited by, and to be allocated to such amounts by the terms of the Loan Documents and this Agreement, other than: (i) fees of any sub-servicer and the expenses of any sub-servicer that would not be reimbursable to Servicer if such expenses were incurred by the Servicer; (ii) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (iii) overhead expenses of the Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Servicer associated with employees of the Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Servicer hereunder; and (iv) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (the “Servicer Customary Expenses”). So long as no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees and Default Interest (including any late payment fees and Default Interest collected after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event but accrued prior to such Special Servicing Loan Event) (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, substitution fees, release fees, Modification Fees, defeasance fees, consent fees, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, charges for beneficiary statements or demands and other processing fees and similar fees and expenses to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected and allocated to such amounts as permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) the terms of the Loan Documents and this Agreement (and with respect to any period prior to the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event, assumption fees, substitution fees, release fees, Modification Fees, consent fees and other similar fees, to the extent set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.17); provided, however, that the Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any Default Interest or any late payment charges, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, with respect to which a default thereunder or Loan Event of Default is continuing unless and until such default or Loan Event of Default has been cured and all delinquent amounts (including any Default Interest) due with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been paid in full and all interest on Advances has been paid in full. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation release fees and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent not payable to the Loan Borrower).

If a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Special Servicing Fee (including any Foreclosed Property) with respect to the Mortgage Loan for so long as such Special Servicing Loan Event continues as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder

114

other than: (i) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (ii) overhead expenses of the Special Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Special Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Special Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Special Servicer associated with employees of the Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder; and (iii) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Special Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (the “Special Servicer Customary Expenses”). If a Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Loan Borrower negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Work-out Fee. No Work-out Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer if (i) the Mezzanine Lender purchases the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement if the Mortgage Loan is purchased within ninety (90) days of the purchase option first becoming exercisable by the Mezzanine Lender during that period in which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced by the Special Servicer or (ii) a repurchase of the Trust Loan by the Sponsor pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement (so long as such repurchase occurs within the cure period required under such Loan Purchase Agreement). If at any time the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to collect the amount of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Work-out Fee from the Loan Borrower pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, including exercising all remedies available under the Loan Agreement that would be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Realized Loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders in connection therewith as opposed to the Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the Loan Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Work-out Fee or a Liquidation Fee, but not both.

If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns after such written agreement is entered into and before or after the Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Work-out Fees on all payments of principal and interest made on the Mortgage Loan following such written agreement (negotiated by such Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation) for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur and the successor Special Servicer shall have no rights with respect to such Work-out Fee. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to any Liquidated Property or the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or any portion thereof or the Notes (whether through judicial foreclosure, sale, discounted payoff or other liquidation) as to which the Special Servicer receives Liquidation Proceeds. However, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee in connection with (i) a repurchase of the Trust Loan by the Sponsor pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement to the extent such repurchase occurs within the time frame set forth in the Loan Purchase Agreement, (ii) a sale of the Mortgage Loan or any portion thereof by the Special Servicer to an Interested Person in accordance with Section 3.16, (iii) a purchase of the Trust Loan or a Foreclosed Property by the Controlling Class Representative or any Affiliate thereof, if such purchase occurs within 90 days after the date on which the Special Servicer first delivers to the Controlling Class Representative notice of a Loan Event of Default or (iv) a purchase of the Mortgage Loan by the Mezzanine Lender pursuant to a purchase option set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, if such

115

purchase option set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement occurs within 90 days after the date that the first option related to the subject Special Servicing Loan Event first becomes exercisable. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement requires the Loan Borrower to be responsible for the payment of Liquidation Fees and the Special Servicer will be entitled to, and may collect, any Liquidation Fees payable to it from the Loan Borrower pursuant to such Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement as would be calculated hereunder. The Liquidation Fee with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property shall be reduced by the amount of any Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the Loan Borrower with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property and received by the Special Servicer as compensation within the prior 18 months, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Work-out Fee or Liquidation Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Special Servicing Event solely due to an event described in clause (iii) of the definition of “Special Servicing Loan Event” and the related Liquidation Proceeds are received within 90 days following the Stated Maturity Date as a result of the Mortgage Loan being refinanced or receipt of other final payment (other than a discounted pay-off), the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to deduct a Liquidation Fee from amounts due to the Certificateholders but may collect and retain appropriate fees from the Loan Borrower in connection with such liquidation.

The Special Servicing Fee and any Liquidation Fee payable from Liquidation Proceeds (and not the Loan Borrower) shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4(c). The Special Servicer during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), Default Interest (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, Modification Fees, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, defeasance fees, consent fees and similar fees and expenses and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account (and with respect to any period prior to the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event, assumption fees, substitution fees, release fees, Modification Fees, consent fees and other similar fees, to the extent set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.17(a)).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to charge the Loan Borrower reasonable review fees in connection with any Loan Borrower request to the extent such fees are not prohibited under the related Loan Documents and are actually paid by or on behalf of the Loan Borrower.

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

116

have been entitled if the Servicer had charged a fee and the Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for an expense incurred under this Agreement or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder unless (i) the amount of such payment to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is reimbursed to the Trust Fund by the Loan Borrower (to the extent the Loan Borrower is required to do so under the Loan Agreement); (ii) failure of the Loan Borrower to reimburse for such payment constitutes a Loan Event of Default; (iii) such expense is an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or is otherwise an unanticipated expense (it being understood that the Servicer Customary Expenses and the Special Servicer Customary Expenses are not unanticipated); or (iv) such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or such expense is expressly described herein as an expense of the Trust Fund or as an Advance.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Servicing Fee (or the Special Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Special Servicing Fee) or other servicing compensation provided for herein shall be made, and any such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless such transfer is made to a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with the assumption by such successor of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.2.

KeyBank National Association, and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), to any QIB or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Benefit Plan), provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit DD-1 hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to KeyBank National Association, and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit DD-2 hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. KeyBank National Association, and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and KeyBank National Association, hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws

117

or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose such information in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. Following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right or the termination of KeyBank National Association, as the Servicer, the Person then acting as the Servicer, shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Servicer as Servicing Fees, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to such Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to such Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer on the Determination Date, and the Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, without charge on the Remittance Date, an electronic report that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period; provided that no report regarding Disclosable Special Servicing Fees shall be required to be delivered if there are no Disclosable Special Servicing Fees for the related Collection Period.

The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates and appraisal fees or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, the Loan Borrower, the Property Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of the Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of the Mortgage Loan or the Foreclosed Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of the Foreclosed Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.17; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to 50% of any Modification Fees incurred in connection with the extension of the Stated Maturity Date of the Mortgage Loan to which Special Servicer’s consent is required pursuant to clause (vii)(c) of the definition of Special Servicing Loan Event and (ii) the Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing) and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to 50% of any Modification Fees, assumption fees (excluding assumption application fees), substitution fees, release fees, consent fees and other similar fees incurred in connection with any Major Decision for which the Special Servicer’s consent is required pursuant to Section 6.5(a).

118

(b)          In determining the compensation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Default Interest and late payment charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Default Interest and late payment charges actually collected on the Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Servicer and the Trustee for all Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Advances) made by each and not previously reimbursed from late payments received during the applicable period on the Mortgage Loan, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds (to the extent not needed for the repair or restoration of the Property) and other collections on the Mortgage Loan, (ii) to the extent not previously reimbursed by the Borrower as a Borrower Reimbursable Trust Fund Expense, the Servicer and the Trustee for unpaid interest on such Advances at the Advance Rate, and (iii) the Trust for all Trust Fund Expenses, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees. Default Interest and late payment charges remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on the Mortgage Loan for so long as no Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on the Mortgage Loan during a Special Servicing Loan Event. Any Default Interest or late payment charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence.

Section 3.18.   Reports to the Certificate Administrator; Account Statements. (a) The Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Certificate Administrator, in an electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, not later than (i) 2:00 p.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File and (ii) 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the remaining CREFC^® Reports (except the CREFC^® Bond Level File, the CREFC^® Collateral Summary File, the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File, the CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet).

Additionally, the Servicer shall deliver the CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheet on a monthly basis to the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, the Servicer shall have no obligation to update such reports except as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraphs, and no analysis shall be required to the extent such analysis or update is not required to be provided under the then-current applicable CREFC^® Guidelines.

119

In addition, on a calendar quarterly basis within 30 days after the Servicer’s receipt of each of the Loan Borrower’s quarterly financial statements (commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2021), the Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator such financial statements.

The Servicer shall make the CREFC^® Reports (except the CREFC^® Bond Level File, the CREFC^® Collateral Summary File, the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File, the CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC^® NOI adjustment worksheet) available (i) prior to the securitization of the Companion Loan, to the Companion Loan Holder on each Distribution Date; and (ii) following securitization of the Companion Loan, to the master servicer of the Other Securitization Trust no later than two (2) Business Days after the Determination Date.

(b)          The Servicer shall furnish to the Certificate Administrator, in electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, the CREFC^® Reports produced by it pursuant to this Agreement not later than the time period specified in Section 3.18(a), and thereafter, upon the request of the Rating Agency, furnish to the 17g-5 Information Provider for delivery to the Rating Agency the CREFC^® Reports produced by it pursuant to this Agreement, who shall promptly post such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 10.16.

(c)           The Servicer shall produce the reports described in this Section 3.18 solely from information provided to the Servicer by the Loan Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (without modification, interpretation or analysis) or by the Special Servicer, Sponsor or Depositor pursuant to this Agreement. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the completeness or accuracy of such information (except that the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to correct patent errors).

(d)          If the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provision of this Agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) making such statement, report or information available on the Servicer’s Website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery; provided that all reports required to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered in accordance with clause (y) unless otherwise specifically provided for herein or unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator.

Section 3.19.   Access to Certain Documentation Regarding the Mortgage Loan and Other Information. (a) The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect), the Trustee, the Initial Purchaser, the Depositor, any Certificateholders that are federally insured financial institutions, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other governmental or regulatory body to the jurisdiction of which any Certificateholder is subject,

120

access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loan required by applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or any such governmental or regulatory body, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer or Special Servicer.

(b)          The Depositor hereby authorizes the Certificate Administrator to, and the Certificate Administrator shall, make available to Bloomberg Financial Markets, L.P., CMBS.com, Inc., Trepp, LLC, Intex Solutions, Inc., Moody’s Analytics, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., RealINSIGHT, KBRA Analytics, LLC, DealView Technologies Ltd/StructureIt and Markit Group Limited or such other vendor chosen by the Depositor that submits to the Certificate Administrator a certification in the form of Exhibit Q to this Agreement, all the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC^® Reports and supplemental notices delivered or made available pursuant to Section 8.14(c) to Privileged Persons and providing such information shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Certificate Administrator.

(c)           If any of the parties to this Agreement receives a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E from any party in connection with any third-party due diligence services such party may have provided with respect to the Trust Loan (“Due Diligence Service Provider”), such receiving party shall promptly forward such Form ABS Due Diligence-15E to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. The 17g-5 Information shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any Form ABS Due Diligence-15E it receives directly from a Due Diligence Service Provider or from another party to this Agreement, promptly upon receipt thereof.

(d)          The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit P if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge that the Mezzanine Lender has either accelerated the Mezzanine Loan or commenced foreclosure proceedings against the equity collateral pledged to secure the Mezzanine Loan then the Special Servicer shall direct the Certificate Administrator to require each Restricted Holder to resubmit any Investor Certification previously executed by such Restricted Holders. In addition, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge that any Special Servicer Termination Event has occurred.

Section 3.20.    Inspections. With respect to the Mortgage Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event is not occurring, the Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Property not less frequently than once each year commencing in 2022; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to inspect the Property if it has been inspected by the Special Servicer in the preceding 12 months. The Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Property as applicable and as soon as practicable following the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and annually for so long as a Specially Serviced Loan Event is continuing. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall further inspect, or cause to be inspected, the Property whenever it receives information that the Property has been materially damaged, left vacant, or abandoned, or if waste is being committed thereto. All such inspections shall be performed in such manner as shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of the annual inspections referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be an expense of the Servicer; the cost of all additional inspections referred to in this paragraph shall be a Trust Fund

121

Expense and if paid by the Servicer shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall prepare a written report of inspection and deliver it to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

Section 3.21.    Advances. (a) In the event that a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than the Balloon Payment) or any portion of a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than any Balloon Payment) on the Trust Loan has not been received by the close of the Business Day immediately prior to the Remittance Date, the Servicer, subject to its determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, shall make an advance on such Remittance Date to the Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable), or any such portion of the Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) on the Trust Loan that was delinquent as of the close of the Business Day immediately prior to such Remittance Date, in each case, net of the Servicing Fee (which will not be paid to the Servicer until the funds in the Collection Account are available for payment of such fee); provided that neither the Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance with respect to any the Trust Loan if the related Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) in respect of the Trust Loan is received by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on such Remittance Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the amount of interest on the Trust Loan is reduced as a result of any modification to the Trust Loan, any future Monthly Payment Advance made with respect to such modified Trust Loan shall be in such amounts as may be required as a result of such reduction. The Servicer shall maintain a record of each Monthly Payment Advance it has made pursuant to this Section 3.21(a) on the Trust Loan and the amount allocated to the related Trust Note on a Note-by-Note Basis and shall notify the Certificate Administrator thereof in the appropriate CREFC^® Reports in order to permit allocation thereof pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5. In the event that the Servicer does not remit any amounts required to be remitted to the Certificate Administrator on each Remittance Date (including any amounts required to be remitted pursuant to Section 3.5 and any required Monthly Payment Advance) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator interest on such amounts at the federal funds rate for the period from and including the Remittance Date to but excluding the Distribution Date or, if earlier, the actual remittance date. The Servicer and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.21(c), the Trustee, shall notify each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee under any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance on the Trust Loan it has made within two (2) Business Days of making any such Monthly Payment Advance.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Monthly Payment Advances (other than any Nonrecoverable Advance) with respect to the Trust Loan shall be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to the Trust Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement and will not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Companion Loan, and Companion Loan Advances (other than any Nonrecoverable Advance) with respect to the Companion Loan shall be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to such Companion Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement

122

and will not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Trust Loan or the other Companion Loan.

At any time that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, the amount that would otherwise be required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of delinquent payments of principal and interest on the Trust Loan shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan minus the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount and the denominator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan.

(b)          Subject to Section 3.21(e), the Servicer shall advance for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, to the extent it determines that such amount is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited, to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the preservation, restoration, operation and protection of the Property which, in the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, sole discretion, exercised in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, are necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s interest in the Property, (ii) the payment of (A) real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges that may be levied or assessed against the Loan Borrower or any of its affiliates or the Property or revenues from the Property or which become liens on such Property, (B) insurance premiums, (C) ground lease rents or other amounts required to be paid under any ground leases and (D) the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent not paid by the Loan Borrower that are incurred in connection with assumption of the Mortgage Loan or a release of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage, (iii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures and including, but not limited to, court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs for third-party experts, including appraisers and environmental and engineering consultants, and (iv) the management, operation and liquidation of the Property if such Property is acquired by the Special Servicer or its affiliate in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust (collectively, “Property Protection Advances”). During the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Foreclosed Property; provided, however, that only three (3) Business Days’ written notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property Protection Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with such information in its possession as the Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Servicer to determine whether a requested Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Property Protection Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Property Protection Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Protection Advances. If and to the extent such information is not already included in the Distribution Date Statement for the month in which

123

such Monthly Payment Advance is made, the Servicer and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.21(c), the Trustee shall notify each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee under any Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the amount of any Property Protection Advance it has made within two (2) Business Days of making any such Property Protection Advance.

(c)           To the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance that it is required to make under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance pursuant to Section 7.6. It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer and the Trustee (pursuant to Section 7.6) to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and shall continue to apply after any modification or amendment of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.22 hereof, beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the Mortgage Loan if a payment default shall have occurred on such date and through any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of the Loan Borrower or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the requirement of recoverability, and shall continue, subject to the requirement of recoverability, until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Trust Loan and (ii) the date on which the Property becomes liquidated.

(d)          Interest on each Advance made by the Servicer or the Trustee shall accrue for each day that such Advance is outstanding at a rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate (the “Advance Rate”) for each such day (or the most recent day on which the Prime Rate was reported, if not reported on such day) on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in a month. Interest on the Advances shall compound annually.

(e)           Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make an Advance only to the extent that the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with any previous unreimbursed Advances and interest on all those Advances at the Advance Rate, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made. The Trustee and the Servicer, in that order, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such Advances from the Collection Account and shall obtain such reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.4(c). If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance shall be deemed to include, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through the date of payment or reimbursement.

(f)           The determination by the Servicer or the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders, the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Servicer and the Trustee (if such determination is made by the Servicer), detailing the reasons for such determination with supporting documents attached. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The costs of any appraisals, reports or surveys and other information requested by the Servicer or the Trustee establishing an Advance as a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be treated as Trust Fund Expenses, payable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c), and shall constitute a Property

124

Protection Advance, if paid by the Servicer or the Trustee from its funds. The Servicer’s determination of nonrecoverability in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in its reasonable business judgment.

(g)           The Servicer and the Trustee are not obligated to advance or pay (i) the delinquent scheduled payments with respect to the Companion Loan, (ii) the Balloon Payment with respect to the Trust Loan or the Companion Loan (but are required to advance the Assumed Monthly Payment with respect to the Trust Loan), (iii) any Default Interest, (iv) amounts required to cure any damages resulting from Uninsured Causes (except as required pursuant to Section 3.12(c)), any failure of the Property to comply with any applicable law, including any environmental law, or (except in connection with the foreclosure or other acquisition of the Property in accordance with Section 3.12 upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Property, (v) any losses arising with respect to defects in the title to the Property, (vi) subordinated obligations, including the Mezzanine Loan, (vii) any costs of capital improvements to the Property other than those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s and Senior Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s interest in the Property or (viii) any Prepayment Charges.

(h)          The Servicer or the Trustee may consider (among other things) the following when making a non-recoverability determination: (a) the obligations of the Loan Borrower under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, (b) the Property in its “as is” or then-current condition and occupancy, (c) future expenses, (d) the subordinate nature of Note B to Note A-1 and Note A-2 and recoveries of Monthly Payment Advances thereon and (e) the timing of recoveries, in the case of clauses (b) through (e), each as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices in the case of the Servicer or in its commercially reasonable judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Property.

Section 3.22.  Modifications of Loan Documents. (a) The Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred or is continuing) or the Special Servicer (if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing), subject to (w) the rights of the Mezzanine Lender under the Intercreditor Agreement, (x) the consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event with respect to Major Decisions, (y) the consultation and review rights of the Controlling Class Representative after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to Major Decisions and (z) the consultation and review rights of the Operating Advisor provided for in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event with respect to Major Decisions, may modify, waive or amend any term of the Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (a) is consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices and (b) does not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel in connection with such determination) or cause any REMIC related to any Other Securitization Trust securities to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may the Servicer or the Special Servicer permit an extension of the Stated Maturity Date beyond the date

125

that is five years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. In connection with (i) the release of the Property or a portion of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage or (ii) the taking of the Property or portion of the Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Loan Documents require the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining portion of such Property, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the Trust Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any.

(b)          All modifications, waivers or amendments of the Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holders, the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and the Depositor, in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of the Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian an original and, if applicable, recorded counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within ten (10) Business Days following the execution and, if applicable, recordation thereof . In the event the Servicer or Special Servicer modifies the interest rate applicable to any Note, any aggregate adverse economic effect of the modification shall be applied to the Certificates, in reverse order of seniority. If the Mortgage Loan is modified, the Note Rate on each Note shall not change for purposes of distributions on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify the Note Rates unless the Trust Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable.

(c)           Subject to Section 3.24, any modification of the Loan Documents that requires a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation in the Loan Documents, shall not be made without the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, first receipt of such Rating Agency Confirmation. Such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the Loan Borrower’s expense in accordance with the Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in the Loan Agreement or if the Loan Borrower does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(d)          Promptly after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to request from the Certificate Administrator the name of the current Controlling Class Representative; provided, however, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make such request and shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notice with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to Section 6.5(d). The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for providing the name of the current Controlling Class Representative only to the extent the Controlling Class Representative has identified itself as such to the Certificate Administrator; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative is determined pursuant to the proviso in the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall request from the Depository at the expense of the Trust, the list of Beneficial Holders of the Controlling Class, and the Certificate

126

Administrator shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) such list to the Special Servicer and the Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(e)          Subject to Section 3.24, prior to implementing any of the following actions, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action:

(i)           approval of the termination or replacement of the Property Manager, to the extent the Loan Lender’s approval is required by the Loan Documents; and

(ii)          any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (xi) or (xii) of the definition of “Major Decision”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and Special Servicer may, subject to certain conditions (but without any Rating Agency Confirmation) grant a Loan Borrower’s request for consent to subject the Property to an easement, right-of-way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another similar purpose and may consent to subordination of the Mortgage Loan to such easement, right-of-way or similar agreement.

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit the substitution of the Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Loan Agreement unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the Loan Documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments required under the terms of the Mortgage Loan when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on the Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the Loan Documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the Loan Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, the Loan Borrower shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, the Loan Borrower shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agency, (v) to the extent permissible under the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the Loan Borrower to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the Loan Borrower, Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency.

(g)         The Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for the Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan in advance of its Payment Date, and not as a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

127

Section 3.23.   Servicer and Special Servicer May Own Certificates. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and any agent thereof in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Servicer, the Special Servicer or such agent except as otherwise provided herein subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in the definition of Certificateholder.

Section 3.24.    Rating Agency Confirmations. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Co-Lender Agreement or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency has made a request to the Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, the Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that the Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall be required (without providing notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider) to (i) confirm that the Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again and (ii) if there is no response to the Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such confirmation or such second request (after seeking to confirm that the Rating Agency received such second Rating Agency Confirmation request), as applicable, then (x) with respect to any condition in the Loan Documents requiring a Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the Loan Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will be required to determine, in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether or not such action would be in the best interest of Certificateholders, and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the Loan Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that such action would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, then the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation will not apply (provided, however, that with respect to the release of any collateral relating to the Trust Loan, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement that the Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive pursuant to this Agreement will not apply without any such determination by the Requesting Party (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) (it being understood that the Requesting Party (or the Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will in any event review the conditions required under the Loan Documents with respect to such release and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied)), and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition will not apply if such Servicer or Special Servicer is a Qualified Servicer. For all other matters or actions (a) not specifically discussed above in clauses (x) or (y) or (b) that are not the subject of a Rating Agency Declination, the applicable Requesting Party shall be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency.

(b)          Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (an email shall be sufficient as a writing), which writing shall contain a cover

128

page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, reasonably deems necessary for the Rating Agency (including those for Companion Loan Securities) to process such request. Subject to Section 10.17, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall furnish such written Rating Agency Confirmation request to the 17g-5 Information Provider in electronic format, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.16.

(c)           Promptly following the Special Servicer’s determination to take any action described in Section 3.24(a) without receiving Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special Servicer shall, subject to Section 10.17, provide written notice of such determination to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.16.

(d)          Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of the Certificates, acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing with respect to Rating Agency Confirmations.

Section 3.25.    Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, with respect to the Companion Loan as to which there exists Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan or a Foreclosed Property (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except as set forth below in this paragraph, such action will also require delivery of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided that the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterpart (i.e., the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable), the counterpart providing or posting Rule 17g-5 information, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization Trust), at the expense of the Other Securitization Trust to the extent not borne by the Loan Borrower, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation at least two (2) Business Days before it is sent to the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency, (ii) all materials forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

129

(b)          [Reserved].

(c)          So long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall provide notice to the Controlling Class Representative of any proposed sale of the Property by the Loan Borrower, and shall provide the Controlling Class Representative upon request copies of any offering documentation related thereto received pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 3.26.   Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters. (a) If, pursuant to Section 2.9, or Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Trust Loan is, in its entirety, purchased or repurchased from the Trust, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Notes related to the Trust Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of the Trust Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Notes related to the Trust Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Notes) on behalf of the holders of the Notes that represent the Companion Loan. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Trust Loan or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the Companion Loan Holders as their interests appear under the Co-Lender Agreement. If the related servicing file is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Mortgage Loan.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to each Companion Loan Holder to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)           [Reserved].

(d)          At any time after the Companion Loan has become part of an Other Securitization Trust and provided that the applicable parties hereto have received written notice (which may be by email) thereof including contact information for the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Companion Loan Holders pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement shall be delivered to the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and special servicer, the party hereto that is obligated under this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement to deliver such notices, reports, information or other deliverables shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Co-Lender Agreement.

Section 3.27.  The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan when it is a Specially Serviced Loan (as provided in Section 3.10(h), this Section 3.27 and Section 6.5) and the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Major Decisions relating to the Mortgage Loan

130

when it is not a Specially Serviced Loan (as provided in Section 6.5) and with respect to which a Major Decision Reporting Package has been delivered to the Operating Advisor, (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer.

(b)    Subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Controlling Class Representative in connection with the Controlling Class Representative’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with this transaction, except under the circumstances described in Section 3.27(f) and subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

With respect to the determination of whether a Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, the Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor are each entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof or any notice posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this Agreement, and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor, Servicer or Special Servicer that are performed only after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event and/or Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor, Servicer or Special Servicer shall have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event or Consultation Termination Event, as applicable. The Operating Advisor may at any time request from the Certificate Administrator confirmation of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the previous year and upon such request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver such confirmation to the Operating Advisor within fifteen (15) days of such request.

(c)           (i) Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), Final Asset Status Report and other reports required to be delivered by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if, at any time during the prior calendar year, (i) the Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) there existed an Operating Advisor Consultation Event during which the Operating Advisor had consultation obligations hereunder with respect to a Major Decision) prepare an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit S (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to

131

Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to its performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year and identifying which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply; provided, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to such Special Servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.27(d) hereof, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations from (i) Accepted Servicing Practices and (ii) the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of the Mortgage Loan when it is a Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to a Privileged Information Exception). In preparing such Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to (i) report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligation under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial and (ii) provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.17) and the Depositor; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the Special Servicer.

(ii)           In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver notice of action and information required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance hereunder.

(d)          (i) After the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.3(d) used in the Special Servicer’s determination of the course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of the Mortgage Loan when it is a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy

132

of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and review for accuracy the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

(ii)          In connection with this Section 3.27(d) in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any non-de minimis inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by such Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is in the Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply (and shall provide prompt written notice of such determination to the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer).

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall have no specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, lockbox management, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement.

(f)           The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Controlling Class Representative in connection with the Controlling Class Representative’s exercise of any rights under this Agreement confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Controlling Class Representative, disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class Representative), other than (i) to the extent expressly set forth herein, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (ii) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (iii) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from Accepted Servicing Practices (A) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (B) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace the Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives information that is appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged

133

Information shall not, without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Controlling Class Representative, disclose such Privileged Information to any Person other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor.

(g)           Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.5.

(h)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to the Trust Loan. As to the Trust Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the same principal amount, in the same manner and for the same period respecting which any related interest payment on the Trust Loan is computed.

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.4. Each successor Operating Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Asset Status Report or Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4 of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the Loan Borrower. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to an Asset Status Report or Major Decision under this Agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use efforts to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the Loan Borrower in connection with such Asset Status Report or Major Decision that are consistent with the efforts that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, would use to collect the Loan Borrower-paid fees owed to it in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Loan Borrower if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Servicer or such Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

(i)           Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a

134

vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating Advisor provided that the proposed successor Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor) and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders and the Operating Advisor of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b), and concurrently by mail at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of holders of more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates exercise their right to vote), the Trustee will terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)) by written notice to the Operating Advisor, and the proposed successor operating advisor will be appointed.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of Certificates may access notices under the “U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices” tab of a request of a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of Certificates may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Certificate Administrator will be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting notices of such requests.

(j)           After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates) the Trustee shall, promptly terminate the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination shall be effective until a successor Operating Advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. If the Trustee is unable to find a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Upon receipt by the Trustee of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders electronically by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that such Operating Advisor Termination Event has been remedied.

(k)          The Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights hereunder may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been

135

remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

(l)           [Reserved].

(m)         The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Controlling Class Representative, if applicable, if the Operating Advisor has secured a replacement that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. If no successor Operating Advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.27.

(n)          In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.27(h) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

(o)          The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.3, the Operating Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Operating Advisor shall act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Operating Advisor shall have no (A) fiduciary duty, or (B) other duty except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no duty to any particular Class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(p)          The Operating Advisor shall not make any investment in any Class of Certificates.

(q)          The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors to the extent such agents or subcontractors satisfy clause (c), (d) and (f) of the definition of “Eligible Operating Advisor” and so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.27. However, the

136

Operating Advisor shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any actions required to be performed by it hereunder without diminution of any such obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Operating Advisor alone were performing its obligations hereunder.

(r)           For the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations that involve the same parties or Loan Borrower involved in this securitization, any experience or knowledge gained by the Operating Advisor from such other engagements may not be imputed to the Operating Advisor for this transaction; provided, however, the Operating Advisor may consider such experience or knowledge as pertinent information for discussion with the Special Servicer during its periodic meetings.

Section 3.28.    Credit Risk Retention. (a) The Third Party Purchaser, prior to its acquisition of Certificates that constitute the Required Third Party Purchaser Retention Amount, will be required to enter into an agreement with the Retaining Sponsor (the “Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement”). Such agreement shall be deemed to refer initially to that certain TPP Risk Retention Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2021, by and among the Depositor, the Retaining Sponsor and the Third Party Purchaser.

(b)          None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (other than as set forth in clause (c) below) or the Custodian shall be obligated to monitor, supervise or enforce the performance of any party under the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement.

(c)           The Operating Advisor, on behalf of the Retaining Sponsor, shall provide notice to the Third Party Purchaser to prompt the timely delivery of the quarterly certification required to be provided by the Third Party Purchaser pursuant to Section 3(g) of the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreement and notify the Retaining Sponsor of any noncompliance by the Third Party Purchaser with such delivery requirement of which the Operating Advisor has actual knowledge.

(b)          On each Distribution Date, each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be deemed to receive (A) distributions in respect of principal in an amount equal to the amount of principal actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.1(a), and (B) distributions with respect of reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the reimbursement of Realized Losses actually distributable to its respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.1(g). On each Distribution Date, each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the sum of the Interest Distribution Amount and Interest Shortfall in respect of its Related Certificates and, in the case of the Class LA, Class LB, Class LC and Class LD Uncertificated Interest, the Interest Distribution Amount and Interest Shortfall in respect of the Class X Certificates (in each case computed based on an interest rate equal to the Class X Strip Rate for the related Regular Certificate and a Notional Amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount), in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.1(a). Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after both the distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and any Prepayment Charge distributed pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest, but only to the extent of the amount remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, if any).

Distributions to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) and to other Certificateholders from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date shall be made by the Certificate Administrator (after withdrawing any amounts deposited in the Distribution Account in error to the extent funds are available for such purpose) to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.1 in respect of the final distribution), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor; provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.

140

(c)           All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1(a) on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record at the close of business on the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:

(i)           the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates shall be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified; and

(ii)          if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificate from and after the Certificate Interest Accrual Period related to such Distribution Date.

(e)           Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. All such amounts shall be held by the Certificate Administrator in trust in accordance herewith until the expiration of a two-year period following such second notice, notwithstanding any termination of the Trust Fund. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall hold all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof for the benefit of such Holders, subject to Applicable Law, until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund, at which time such amounts shall be distributed, subject to applicable law, to the Depositor. No

141

interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.1(e). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator will remain uninvested. In the event the Certificate Administrator is permitted or required to invest any amounts in Permitted Investments under this Agreement in the event of its assumption of the duties of, or becoming the successor to, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it shall invest such amounts in Permitted Investments under clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

(f)           Subject to the following sentence, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the calculations with respect to distributions from the Trust so long as the Trust Fund has not been terminated in accordance with this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall have no duty to recompile, recalculate or verify the accuracy of information provided to it by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.18(a) and, in the absence of manifest error in such information, may conclusively rely upon it.

(g)          On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses with respect to the Trust Loan shall be allocated to and applied as a reduction of the Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order:

first, to the Class HRR Certificates;

second, to the Class G Certificates;

third, to the Class F Certificates;

fourth, to the Class E Certificates;

fifth, to the Class D Certificates;

sixth, to the Class C Certificates;

seventh, to the Class B Certificates; and

eighth, to the Class A Certificates.

in each case, until the Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

The Notional Amount of the Class X Certificates shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of Realized Losses allocated to the Class A, Class B and Class C Certificates.

Section 4.2.   Withholding Tax. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders or payees that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for any such withholding and each Certificateholder or payee is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership

142

interest in such Certificate) to provide all information required by the Certificate Administrator. In the event the Certificate Administrator withholds any amount from interest payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been entirely distributed to such Certificateholder or payee, and the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or payee through a report.

Section 4.3.    Allocation and Distribution of Prepayment Charges. On any Distribution Date, Prepayment Charges, if any, collected in respect of the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributed to the Holders of the Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class X Certificates, in the following manner: (A) to each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Sequential Pay Certificates representing principal payments in respect of the Trust Loan on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Base Interest Fraction for the related principal prepayment and such Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, and (iii) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Charges collected during the related Collection Period and (B) the portion of such Prepayment Charges remaining after such distributions to the applicable Class(es) of Sequential Pay Certificates, to the Class X Certificates.

No Prepayment Charges will be distributed to holders of the Class R Certificates.

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall apply amounts related to Prepayment Charges then on deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and received during or prior to the related Collection Period to the Class LA Uncertificated Interest pursuant to this Section 4.3.

Section 4.4.   Statements to Certificateholders. (a) On each Distribution Date, based in part on information provided by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and make available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) to any Privileged Person and any Borrower Related Party that certifies to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit BB-2 that it is a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner of a Certificate, a statement, based in part upon the information provided to it by the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of the distributions made on such Distribution Date (a “Distribution Date Statement”) setting forth, among other things:

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall, on each Distribution Date make the Distribution Date Statement available to Privileged Persons and any Borrower Related Party that certifies to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit BB-2 that it is a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner of a Certificate, pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The Certificate Administrator’s obligation to provide such information to Certificateholders and others shall be contingent on the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such information from the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such information provided to it by the Servicer or the Special Servicer without independent verification. To the extent that the information required to be furnished by the Servicer is based on information required to be provided by the Loan Borrower or the Special Servicer, the Servicer’s obligation to furnish such information to the Certificate Administrator shall be contingent on its receipt of such information from the Loan Borrower or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, in each case via email within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall be by email to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is not of a type described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Loan Documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would, or is, reasonably expected to result in a waiver of attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney client work-product; (v) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (vi) answering any Inquiry would violate the applicable confidentiality provisions, (vii) answering any Inquiry would require disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception) or (viii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable to answer, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is not of a type described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Loan Documents or the Trust and Servicing Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would, or is, reasonably expected to result in a waiver of attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney client work-product, (v) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (vi) answering any Inquiry would violate the applicable confidentiality provisions, (vii) answering any Inquiry would require disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception) or (viii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason,

147

not advisable to answer, no inference should be drawn from the fact that the Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” No party may post or otherwise disclose information known to such party to be Privileged Information; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to review any inquiry or answer received by it for posting to the Investor Q&A Forum to determine if such inquiry or answer contains any such direct communication with the Controlling Class Representative, or otherwise to consult with the party from whom such inquiry or answer is received to confirm the same, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no liability in connection with its posting to the Investor Q&A Forum of any inquiry or answer containing such direct communication. Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser or the Certificate Administrator (as applicable) or any of their respective affiliates.

No party to this Agreement shall be permitted to disclose Privileged Information in the Investor Q&A Forum.

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Beneficial Owner, the Investor Registry.

Section 5.2.    Form and Registration. (a) Each Class of the Certificates (other than the Class HRR Certificates (unless otherwise consented to by the Retaining Sponsor pursuant to Section 5.1(d)) and Class R Certificates) sold to institutions that are non-”U.S. persons” in “offshore transactions”, as defined in, and in reliance on, Regulation S shall be initially be represented by a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and/or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”). Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream.

During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

151

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Global Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph.

(b)          Certificates of each Class (other than the Class HRR Certificates (unless otherwise consented to by the Retaining Sponsor pursuant to Section 5.1(d))) offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Certificate” and, together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificates and the Regulation S Global Certificates, the “Global Certificates”), which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

(c)           Certificates of each Class that are offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not QIBs, the Class HRR Certificates and the Class R Certificates (the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners.

(d)          Owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Global Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.

152

(e)           If any Beneficial Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a QIB, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a QIB, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Non-Book Entry Certificate in Section 5.3(h) of this Agreement. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 5.3(h) of this Agreement applicable to transfers of Non-Book Entry Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Non-Book Entry Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Non-Book Entry Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

(a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office books (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). In such capacities, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, (i) maintaining the Certificate Register and a record of the aggregate holdings of Certificates of each Class represented by a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Global Certificate and a Rule 144A Global Certificate and accepting Certificates for exchange and registration of transfer and (ii) transmitting to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer any notices from the Certificateholders.

(c)           Rule 144A Global Certificate to Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate for an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 hereof, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s

(d)          Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate for an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange, or cause the exchange of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 hereof, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit D hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating (A) that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Certificates and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, or (B) that the transferee is otherwise entitled to hold its interest in the applicable Certificates in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, without any registration of such Certificates under the Securities Act (in which case such certificate shall enclose an Opinion of Counsel to such effect and such other documents as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require), then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate, and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such exchange or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate that is being exchanged or transferred.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 hereof, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate (but not the Regulation S Global Certificate) for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, a certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate is a QIB and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate that is being transferred.

(f)           Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate. Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate as to which the Certificate Registrar has received from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate (a “Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification”) to the effect that Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class. The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Global Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary

155

Regulation S Global Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Global Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Global Certificate and Rule 144A Global Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

(g)           Non-Book Entry Certificate to Global Certificate. If a Holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than a Class HRR Certificate (unless otherwise consented to by the Retaining Sponsor pursuant to Section 5.1(d)) or a Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Global Certificate, such Holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Global Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.7 hereof, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such Holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit G hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate), in the form of Exhibit H hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Regulation S Global Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit I hereto (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Rule 144A Global Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled.

(h)          Exchanges of Non-Book Entry Certificates. If a holder of a Rule 144A Global Certificate, Regulation S Global Certificate or Non-Book Entry Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, Regulation S Global Certificate or Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of

156

a Non-Book Entry Certificate, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon): (i) an investment representation letter from the proposed transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J-1 to this Agreement and (ii) if required by the Certificate Registrar, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer shall be made without registration under the Securities Act, together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or the proposed transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (such opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such).

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

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

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

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

(m)         No Class E, Class F, Class G, Class HRR or Class R Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be an employee benefit plan or plan that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is, to a material extent similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) (each, a “Benefit Plan”), or any Person acting on behalf of any such Benefit Plan or using the assets of a Benefit Plan to purchase such Class E, Class F, Class G, Class HRR or

157

Class R Certificate, other than an insurance company general account acquiring the Class E, Class F, Class G or Class HRR Certificates under circumstances that meet all of the requirements of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or, in the case of a Benefit Plan subject to Similar Law, where the acquisition, holding and disposition of any such Certificate will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. Each prospective transferee of a Class E, Class F, Class G, Class HRR or Class R Certificate in definitive form (other than the Initial Purchaser) shall deliver to the transferor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit O, stating that the prospective transferee meets the requirements of the preceding sentence. Each transferee of an interest in a Class E, Class F, Class G, or Class HRR Certificate in the form of a Global Certificate will be deemed to have represented that it meets the requirements of the second preceding sentence. No Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C or Class D Certificates may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Benefit Plan, or any Person acting on behalf of a Benefit Plan or using the assets of a Benefit Plan to purchase such Certificate, unless (A) the purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of the Securities Act and (B) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate by the purchaser will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or a similar non-exempt violation of Similar Law). Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 5.3(m) shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any such purported purchaser or transferee.

(n)          In addition, each purchaser of Certificates that is a Benefit Plan subject to ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) or that or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (and the applicable regulations) to the ERISA Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the ERISA Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the ERISA Plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Certificates.

(o)          Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

158

be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(ii)          No Residual Ownership Interest may be transferred, and no such transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the transfer, and such proposed transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit J-2 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.3(o) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J-3 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.

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

159

Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(iv)         The Class R Certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates and transferred to and owned by QIBs.

(p)          During the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of the Class HRR Certificates is to be made, then the following documents shall be submitted to the Certificate Administrator at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 9062 Old Annapolis Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045, Attention: Risk Retention Custody (CMBS)—CSMC 2021-980M, who shall facilitate such transfer with the Certificate Registrar who shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) each of the following: (i) an executed written request for the Retaining Sponsor’s consent to such release for the purposes of transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-6, (ii) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-4, (iii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-5, (iv) a W-9 completed by the prospective transferee and (v) wire instructions and contact information of the prospective transferee.

(q)          After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of the Class HRR Certificates is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with the transfer restrictions of this Article 5 and the Certificate Registrar receives (and upon receipt may conclusively rely upon) each of the following: (A) the original Class HRR Certificate released to the Certificate Registrar, (B) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-4 and (C) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-5.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Class HRR Certificates be held as a Global Certificate with a balance in excess of $0 at any time prior to termination of the HRR Transfer Restriction Period.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new

160

Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust Fund. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.

The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure

161

of any such Special Notice to Certificateholders, regardless of the information set forth in such Special Notice.

Each of the Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor shall keep in full effect its existence and rights as an entity under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and shall be in compliance with the laws of all jurisdictions to the extent necessary to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor (which, in the case of the Operating Advisor, may be limited to succeeding to all or substantially all of its assets relating to acting as a trust advisor or operating advisor for commercial mortgage securitizations), shall be the successor of the Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor as the case may be, hereunder, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of such Servicer, Special Servicer, Depositor or Operating Advisor hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such successor or surviving Person (except that if the successor or surviving Person is the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, the obligation to provide a Rating Agency Confirmation shall not apply).

Section 6.3.    Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and Others. (a) Neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor nor any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers,

162

partners, employees, Affiliates or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or any Companion Loan Holder for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, actions taken or not taken at the direction of Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders in accordance with this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or any such other person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, members, managers, partners, Affiliates or agents may reasonably rely on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, agents, Affiliates or other “controlling persons” within the meaning of the Securities Act (“Controlling Persons”), shall be indemnified by the Trust (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4(c)) and held harmless against any loss, liability, claim, demand or expense incurred in connection with any legal action or other claims, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities relating to this Agreement (including attorneys’ fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity), the Co-Lender Agreement, the Mortgage Loan, the Property, or the Certificates (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable and reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement), other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence by it in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

(b)          The Depositor shall not be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor may, but shall not be obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee under this Agreement.

Section 6.4.    Termination of the Special Servicer Without Cause. (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer with a proposed successor Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer),

163

(ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor (with the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights that vote so long as they constitute a Certificateholder Quorum of the Certificates or (b) Holders of those Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, and the proposed successor Special Servicer (if such successor is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and provided that such successor Special Servicer is not the current special servicer of the Mezzanine Loan) shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.4(a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.

So long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee. Upon a termination (pursuant to the prior sentence) or a resignation of the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative shall appoint a successor Special Servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative shall (at no expense to the Trust) obtain and deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner that are Privileged Persons or Borrower Related Parties that submit Exhibit BB-2 may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner that are Privileged Persons or Borrower Related Parties that submit Exhibit BB-2 may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided

164

that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

(b)          The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, that none of the Trustee, the Servicer (solely in its capacity as Servicer), or the initial Special Servicer specified in Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement shall be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. Any termination fee payable to the terminated Special Servicer and any costs incurred by the Trust or the terminated Special Servicer in connection with the replacement of a Special Servicer shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative or Certificateholders so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

(c)           No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until (i) the successor Special Servicer shall have executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement and (ii) subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor.

(d)          Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5 of this Agreement mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession.

(e)           In the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.4, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Special Servicer, terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including without limitation the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 of this Agreement and the right to receive ongoing Work-out Fees or Liquidation Fee in accordance with the terms hereof and any indemnification that the Special Servicer is entitled to pursuant to the terms hereof).

Section 6.5.    The Controlling Class Representative.

(a)          So long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to (1) if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, advise the Special Servicer and (2) if a Special Servicing Loan Event has not occurred, advise the Special Servicer as to all matters for which the Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer for a Major Decision. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to Section 6.5(b) and the second and third paragraphs of this Section 6.5(a), both (a) the Servicer shall not be

165

permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have ten (10) Business Days (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information from the Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision (provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Servicer that it will not consent, to such Major Decision within the required ten (10) Business Days the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision) and (b) so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and other information reasonably requested by the Controlling Class Representative from the Special Servicer unless such actions are part of an asset status report approved by the Controlling Class Representative (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”), which the Special Servicer will be required to deliver to the Controlling Class Representative within five (5) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s receipt of notice of the proposed action; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Controlling Class Representative will be deemed to have approved such action; provided, further, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Servicer (in the event the Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Class Representative so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event.

In addition, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Class Representative may reasonably deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement (including the provisions regarding certain consultation rights with the Companion Loan Holders), applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation each of the Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or expose the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interest of the Certificateholders. With respect to any action requiring the consent of the Controlling Class Representative hereunder, such consent will be deemed given if the Controlling Class Representative does not object within ten (10) Business Days.

166

In the event the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative or any advice from the Controlling Class Representative would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee and, subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agency of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Controlling Class Representative that does not violate any law or Accepted Servicing Practices or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for error in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to any Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.

Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates, including owning certificates backed by the Mezzanine Loan, acting as operating advisor with respect to any mezzanine securitization or owning all or any portion of a Mezzanine Loan; (ii) the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Controlling Class Representative does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative or any affiliate, director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent

167

rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Controlling Class Representative. In the event that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator, then, until such time as the new Controlling Class Representative is identified, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Controlling Class Representative, as the case may be.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but, with respect to the Controlling Class Representative only, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Controlling Class Representative prior to a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by Controlling Class Representative in respect thereof. Such consultation will not be binding on the Special Servicer. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Controlling Class Representative within 10 days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Controlling Class Representative on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Controlling Class Representative to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Controlling Class Representative on any future matters with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Controlling Class Representative. With respect to any particular Major Decision and related Major Decision Reporting Package and any Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report and potential conflicts of interest and compensation with respect to such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically) in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the Operating Advisor hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which initial request will be required to include a Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

168

In connection with the Controlling Class Representative’s right to consent or consult or the Operating Advisor’s right to consult with respect to a Major Decision, as applicable, if the Special Servicer determines that action is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Certificateholders from potential harm if such action is not taken, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Property before the expiration of the applicable period for the Operating Advisor or Controlling Class Representative to respond as described in this section, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and shall have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Controlling Class Representative. However, the Controlling Class Representative shall maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder.

(c)           Each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of a Class HRR Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Registrar and to notify the Certificate Registrar of the transfer of any Class HRR Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Class HRR Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Class HRR Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Class HRR Certificate) to notify in writing the Certificate Registrar when such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. The initial Controlling Class Representative and any subsequent Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed and acknowledged by virtue of its purchase of the Class HRR Certificates (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificates) that its identity will be reported monthly by the Certificate Registrar in the Distribution Date Statement. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Class HRR Certificate. In addition, upon the request of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Registrar shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) the identity of the then current Controlling Class, a list of the Certificateholders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) and confirmation as to whether a Control Termination Event or Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred in the previous calendar year preceding any such request. Each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such information so provided by the Certificate Registrar and shall be entitled to assume

169

that the identity of the Controlling Class Representative has not changed absent notice of a replacement of the Controlling Class Representative by a majority of the Controlling Class, or the resignation of the then-current Controlling Class Representative. In the event that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Controlling Class Representative is identified, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Controlling Class Representative as the case may be.

If at any time that ES Ventures Holding, Inc. or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) or the designee of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance and the Certificate Registrar has neither (i) received notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance nor (ii) received notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement, then a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue until such time as the Certificate Registrar receives either such notice. The Certificate Registrar and the other parties hereto will be entitled to assume that the entity identified in this Agreement as the initial Controlling Class Representative or any successor Controlling Class Representative selected thereby and identified to the Certificate Registrar in writing is the Controlling Class Representative, until the Certificate Registrar and other parties to the TSA receive (i) notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance or (ii) notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement.

Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Registrar shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.

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

Section 6.6.   Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign. (a) Each of the Servicer and Special Servicer may resign and assign its respective rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement to any Person or to an entity, provided that:

(i)           the Person accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed

170

by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; provided, however that to the extent such agreement modifies in any respect any of the covenants, terms or conditions in this Agreement to be performed by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, such agreement shall be subject to the approval of the Trustee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and (C) shall make such representations and warranties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as provided in Section 2.4 and Section 2.5;

(ii)          Rating Agency Confirmation has been received;

(iii)         the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.6(a);

(iv)         the rate at which the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Fee, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; and

(v)          the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust and the Rating Agency for any expenses of such assignment, sale or transfer.

Any attempted resignation and assignment shall be void, unless such resignation and assignment satisfies the conditions set forth above. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and acceptance of such assignment, such Person shall be the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder.

(b)          Other than as set forth in Section 6.2 and Section 6.6(a), none of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor. No resignation by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement shall become effective until a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, each of the Servicer or Special Servicer may assign its duties and obligations under this Agreement under certain limited circumstances as described herein.

(c)           In the event the Special Servicer obtains knowledge that it has become a Borrower Related Party, the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each of the other parties to this Agreement of such event and resign as Special Servicer and use reasonable efforts to replace itself with a special servicer that is a Qualified Servicer, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the proviso to Section 6.6(a) and the agreement of a proposed successor to accept the same or lower compensation; provided that if no such appointment is made within thirty (30) days of the Special Servicer becoming a Borrower Related Party, such failure shall be deemed a Special Servicer Termination Event and the Trustee shall promptly deliver written notice to the Special

171

Servicer of the Special Servicer’s failure to perform the foregoing obligation. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to appoint (and replace with or without cause) a successor special servicer that is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and not a Borrower Related Party in accordance with the terms herein, unless the Controlling Class Representative is a Borrower Related Party. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if the Controlling Class Representative is a Borrower Related Party, the resigning Special Servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor special servicer that is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and not a Borrower Related Party in accordance with the terms herein and shall, at the expense of the Trust, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor special servicer if one is not appointed within 60 days.

Section 6.7.    Indemnification by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor. Each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Companion Loan Holders and each other party to this Agreement from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Trust, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or such other party that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as the case may be, of its representations and warranties under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as the case may be, in the performance of such obligations or its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in this Agreement providing that the Trust, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor is required to indemnify the Trust or another party to this Agreement for costs, fees and expenses, such costs, fees and expenses are intended to include attorney’s fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity.

(iv)         a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; provided, however, that, with respect to any such decree or order that cannot be discharged, dismissed or stayed within such sixty (60) day period, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, will have an additional period of thirty (30) days to effect such discharge, dismissal or stay so long as it has commenced proceedings to have such decree or order dismissed, discharged or stayed within the initial sixty (60) day period and has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such discharge, dismissal or stay;

(ix)         so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any primary servicer, Sub-Servicer or Servicing Function Participant (such entity, the “Sub-Servicing Entity”) retained by the Servicer or Special Servicer, shall fail to deliver the items required to be delivered by this Agreement to enable such Other Securitization Trust to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act within the time frame set forth for delivery in Article 11 (including any applicable grace periods) (any Sub-Servicing Entity that defaults in accordance with this Section 7.1(a)(ix) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor).

(b)          Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event has been cured or waived, the Trustee, upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer thereof, shall (i) provide written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and 17g-5 Information Provider and the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post notice of the same upon its receipt thereof on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, as applicable; (ii) subject to Section 10.16, provide written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16; (iii) provide notice to the Companion Loan Holders to the addresses provided to the Certificate Administrator and (iv) provide notice thereof to all Certificateholders by mail to the addresses set forth on the Certificate Register. For avoidance of doubt, (i) the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicer shall not cause there to have occurred a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer unless the relevant event also constitutes a Special Servicer Termination Event and (ii) the occurrence of a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer shall not

174

cause there to have occurred a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicer unless the relevant event also constitutes a Servicer Termination Event.

(c)           If a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may, or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates having at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of the Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) of the Certificates, the Trustee shall, at all times, with respect to clause (iii) of a Special Servicer Termination Event that is based upon the failure of the Special Servicer to resign and replace itself after becoming a Borrower Related Party as required pursuant to Section 6.6(c), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination or that survive such termination, and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof by notice in writing to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon any termination of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website such written notice thereof and furnish the same to the Depositor, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) and to the Certificateholders by mail to the addresses set forth in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if a Special Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer affects the Companion Loan, any holder thereof or the rating on a class of Companion Loan securities, then the related affected Companion Loan Holder will be able to require termination of the Special Servicer (subject to the right of the Controlling Class Representative to appoint a successor Special Servicer so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing) and (b) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Servicer affects the Companion Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Companion Loan securities, and if the Servicer is not otherwise terminated, then the Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related Companion Loan Holder, but upon the written direction of the related Companion Loan Holder, the Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Mortgage Loan.

(d)          If at any time the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (i) the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, then the Operating Advisor may recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer. In such event, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, a written report in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written report contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer (which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer). In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall

175

promptly notify each Certificateholder of the recommendation and post such notice and report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.10(b), and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which, for this purpose, is the Holders of Certificates that (A) evidence at least twenty percent (20%) of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Sequential Pay Certificates on an aggregate basis, and (B) consist of at least three (3) Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not affiliated with each other) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency with respect to the termination of the Special Servicer and the appointment of a successor special servicer recommended by the Operating Advisor by the Trustee following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (upon receipt of confirmations from the Certificate Administrator) (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint such successor special servicer and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) of the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor associated with the Certificate Administrator’s obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be a Trust Fund Expense. In the event that the Trustee does not receive the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the quorum described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within one hundred eighty (180) days after the notice is posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder, provided, such successor Special Servicer shall not also be the current special servicer of the Mezzanine Loan.

(e)           In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”) (with a copy to the Loan Borrower), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Trust Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section 7.1 and, without limitation, the Terminating Party is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Trust Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, each agrees that, in the event it is

176

terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, or resigns under Section 6.6(b), to promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Terminating Party (which term shall include for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(e), the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or the Terminating Party, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(e), the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) to the Collection Account, the Foreclosed Property Account or shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (which may include the Trustee), all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the function of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage File to the Terminating Party or to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Terminated Party upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the Terminated Party has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Special Servicer is terminated without cause pursuant to Section 6.4, all costs and expenses incurred or payable by the terminated Special Servicer under this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Trust Fund.

(f)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Trustee of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware. In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

Section 7.2.    Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, or resigns pursuant to Section 6.6(b), the Terminating Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer including a successor appointed under Section 6.4(a)) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) shall, unless prohibited by law, be the successor to the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the

177

remainder of this Section 7.2, the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer of the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) in all respects under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Terminated Party by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) neither the Trustee nor the Terminating Party (or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) shall have responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Terminated Party and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or monies or failure to cooperate as required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Terminating Party or such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Servicer, and any other successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Trustee under this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any liability of the Terminated Party that may have arisen prior to its termination as such. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Terminated Party herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the Terminated Party or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Terminated Party nor shall the Terminating Party or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer be required to purchase the Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all compensation with respect to the Mortgage Loan to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled that accrues after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder and, in the case of a successor Special Servicer, the Special Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates so request in writing to the Trustee, or the Trustee is not approved by the Rating Agency as a Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation, or if the Rating Agency do not provide written confirmation that the succession of the Trustee as Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established loan servicing institution reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee the appointment for which a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided that so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to approve any such successor Special Servicer. No appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Terminated Party’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in the applicable capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loan as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party hereunder, except that if no successor to the

178

Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided, further; that, so long as no Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in effect, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (on a non-binding basis) prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at amounts in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party as set forth in the immediately preceding proviso. The Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer (as applicable), the Special Servicer (as applicable) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b)          Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(e) or Section 7.2(a), if a Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.1(vii), (viii) or (ix) and the terminated Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after such termination, then such Servicer shall continue to serve as Servicer, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Mortgage Loan from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.2 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as are Qualified Bidders; provided, however, that (i) the terminated Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons who are Qualified Bidders (subject to receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation) from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the Trust Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the terminated Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor Servicer entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer to service the Mortgage Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to 0.01875% (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Servicer. Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of reasonable “out of pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

(c)           If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.2 as successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer, it may reduce such terminated Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Servicer would

179

otherwise be below market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.2, it may reduce such Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.2 and Section 6.6.

Section 7.3.     Notification to Certificateholders, the Depositor and the Rating Agency.

(a)          Upon any termination of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.1 or appointment of a successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as practicable, give written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Depositor and, subject to Section 10.17, to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16).

(b)          Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and to the Depositor and, subject to Section 10.17, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16) notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event or shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.4.    Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, or so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.1, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from the Collection Account. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

Section 7.5.   Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Special Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then-outstanding Certificates and each affected Companion Loan Holder may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and upon adequate indemnification of the Trustee by the requesting Holders of Certificates, waive any default by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the

180

performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits (including Monthly Payment Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or the Foreclosed Property Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and the related Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right related thereto.

Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator of its duties hereunder. In case a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent institution would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such institution’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. The Trustee (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have the power to exercise all the rights of a holder of the Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (or, if a Companion Loan Holder is an Other Securitization Trust, the related Other Depositor or Other Trustee), subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement.

(b)          Subject to Sections 8.2(a) and 8.3, each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator that are specifically required to be furnished to such Person pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine, or cause to be examined, such instruments to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall make a request to the Depositor to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders. None of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Special Servicer and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)           Subject to Section 8.3, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own willful misconduct or bad faith, provided, however, that:

(i)           the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Custodian’s duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in regard to such party in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator and each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may request and conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee, the Custodian and/or the

(iii)         the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement;

(iv)         for all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer to comply with any of their respective obligations referred to in Section 7.1 or any other act, breach or failure of any Person, or circumstance upon the occurrence of which the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to take action unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure, act or circumstance or the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, receives written notice, pursuant to Section 10.4, of such failure from the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Loan Borrower or Holders of the Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates.

In the absence of receipt of such notice and such actual knowledge otherwise obtained, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively assume that there is no Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

The fees and expenses of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be paid by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

(b)          The Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by the legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more fully conferring such title, rights or duties to such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it, he, she or they shall be vested with such title to the Property or any part thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties and obligations as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee, or the Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee subject to all the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, as the case may be. Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Trustee, its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its, her or his name. In the event that any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Property and all assets, property, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is appointed.

(c)          All provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10, and to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator in each capacity that it may assume hereunder, including without limitation, its capacity as Custodian, 17g-5 Information Provider, Certificate Administrator, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent, as applicable.

If, at any time, the Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to any such law, the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any co-trustee or separate trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee by the Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligations, duties, or responsibilities in any way or to any degree.

(e)          Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Trustee to any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient warrant to such co-trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so required, approved or consented to.

(f)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.10, the powers of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of the Trustee hereunder, and such co-trustee or separate trustee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.6.

Section 8.11.     Appointment of Authenticating Agent. (a) The Certificate Administrator may appoint an agent or agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator to authenticate Certificates (each such agent, an “Authenticating Agent”), and Certificates so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Certificate Administrator hereunder. Wherever a reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication and delivery of Certificates by the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Administrator’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall, at all times, be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such law to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $15,000,000 authorized under such laws to do trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.11 the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If, at any time, an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11, such

195

Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 8.11. The initial Authenticating Agent shall be the Certificate Administrator.

(b)          Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 8.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

(c)          An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice thereof to the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Depositor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first class mail, postage prepaid to all Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear in the Certificate Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.11.

Section 8.12.     Indemnification by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and each other party to this Agreement from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Trust, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as applicable, that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, of its representations and warranties under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in this Agreement providing that the Trust, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor is required to indemnify the Trust or another party to this Agreement for costs, fees and expenses, such costs, fees and expenses are intended to include attorney’s fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity.

196

thereof, the Certificate Administrator shall report the amount of such prepayment or payment to the Depository based on information received from the Servicer or Special Servicer in reliance on notices received from the Loan Borrower. In the event of any inconsistencies in payments or prepayments made by the Loan Borrower with the previously delivered notices by the Loan Borrower, all costs and expenses incurred as a result of a failure by the Loan Borrower to make any such payments or prepayment, shall be paid by the Loan Borrower in accordance with the Loan Agreement provided that the amount of payment reported to the Depository by the Certificate Administrator was consistent with the information received from the Servicer or Special Servicer. If the Loan Borrower fail to do so, such costs and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator and to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

(i)           within eighty-nine (89) days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall designate the first day of the 90-day liquidation period of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC which shall be specified in a notice from the Certificate Administrator to the Certificateholders as soon as practicable prior to such final Distribution Date, and shall specify such date in the final tax return of each such Trust REMIC;

Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer if made in the manner provided in this Section 10.11.

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

Within thirty days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Persons that Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any

235

information reasonably requested by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing). The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of the related IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein, and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by Treasury Regulations.

(e)          The Certificate Administrator shall pay without any right of reimbursement the ordinary and usual expenses in connection with the preparation, filing and mailing of tax information reports and returns that are incurred by it in the ordinary course of its business, but extraordinary or unusual expenses, costs or liabilities incurred in connection with its tax-related duties under this Agreement, including without limitation any expenses, costs or liabilities associated with audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC that involve the IRS or state tax authorities, shall be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

(f)           The Certificate Administrator shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, timely furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign), and the Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed all federal, state and local income or franchise or other tax and information returns for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as the direct representative for such Trust REMIC. Except as provided in Section 12.1(e), the expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator. The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession, and is reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such information in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(g)          The Certificate Administrator shall perform on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such Trust REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (i) to the IRS or other Persons (including, but not limited to, the transferor of a Class R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or to an agent that has acquired a Class R Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization) such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis (and in no event later than 30 days after the Certificate Administrator’s request) to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession and is reasonably requested in writing by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection.

(h)          The Certificate Administrator is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs) of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC and each

236

Holder of a Class R Certificate, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, agree to such designation.

(i)           The Certificate Administrator, the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall perform their obligations under this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in a manner consistent with the status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC.

(j)           The Certificate Administrator, any Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any action or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, within their respective control and the scope of their specific respective duties under this Agreement that, under the REMIC Provisions, could reasonably be expected to (i) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) unless permitted under Section 12.2(a), result in the imposition of a tax upon either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on prohibited contributions as defined in Section 860G(d)) of the Code (any such result in clause (i) or (ii), an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless (A) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) with respect to such action or (B) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received an opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that such action will not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC and that no tax will actually be imposed.

(k)          Any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or its assets or transactions, including, without limitation, “prohibited transaction” taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, and any tax on contributions imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, shall be paid from the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer, upon two (2) days prior written notice, shall remit from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator the amount of any such tax that the Certificate Administrator notifies the Servicer is due; provided, further, that if such taxes shall have been imposed on account of the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of any party hereto, or in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by any party hereto in this Agreement, then such taxes shall be paid by such party.

(l)           The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Loan Documents (but subject to Section 1.3), all amounts collected on the Trust Loan shall, for federal income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the Trust Loan (including interest on overdue interest) other than Default Interest. The books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of the investments of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to show that such Trust REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.

237

(m)         None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(n)          In order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Certificate Administrator within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows on the Trust Loan. Thereafter, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the preparation of all federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax and information returns and reports for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Certificate Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Certificate Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 12.1 that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Certificate Administrator (but not resulting from the methodology employed by the Certificate Administrator) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Certificate Administrator.

The Certificate Administrator agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it shall be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers, employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.1) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.

Section 12.2.  Foreclosed Property. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that if the Trust Fund were to acquire the Property as Foreclosed Property and were to own and operate that Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which such Property is currently owned and operated by the related Loan Borrower, through a Successor Manager, some portion or all of the income derived in the Lower-Tier REMIC from such Foreclosed Property may be considered “net income from foreclosure property” for purposes of Section 860G(c) of the Code and subject to tax at normal corporate income tax rates.

In determining whether to acquire and hold the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall take these circumstances into account and shall only acquire such Foreclosed Property if it determines, in its reasonable judgment (after,

238

consultation with counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund), that either (i) there is a commercially feasible alternative method of administering such Foreclosed Property that would not result in such tax, e.g., a net lease that results in Rents from Real Property or (ii) the likely recovery with respect to operating such Foreclosed Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, after taking into account any such taxes that might be imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, will exceed the likely recovery to the Trust Fund if the Trust Fund were to net lease such Foreclosed Property or were not to acquire and hold such Foreclosed Property. If the Trust Fund acquires the Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, if the Manager would not be considered an Independent Contractor, shall either renegotiate the applicable Management Agreement or replace the Manager with a Successor Manager (as appropriate and to the extent permitted under such Management Agreement) so that such Foreclosed Property would be considered to be operated by an Independent Contractor. If, after making the foregoing reasonable efforts, the Special Servicer determines that it is in the best interests of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders on a net after-tax basis to operate such Foreclosed Property in a manner such that the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC shall receive, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, “net income from foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions, the Special Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained such records of income and expense as to enable such amounts to be computed accurately, and shall pay or retain or cause to be paid or retained from Foreclosure Proceeds such amounts as are necessary to pay such tax or, to the extent such amounts are insufficient, from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not, to the extent within its power:

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

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

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

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

(b)          The Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall make reasonable efforts to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value in accordance with Section 3.15. In any event, however, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall dispose of the Foreclosed Property as soon as is practicable but in no event later than the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Acquisition Date occurs unless the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) an

239

extension of time (an “Extension”) by the IRS to sell such Foreclosed Property or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Foreclosed Property for an additional specified period will neither result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code, nor cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period, with the expenses of obtaining any such extension of time being an expense of the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) such Extension, then the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell such Foreclosed Property for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, has not received such an Extension and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell such Foreclosed Property, within the foregoing period or if the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, has received such an Extension, and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell such Foreclosed Property within the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the above-referenced period or the Extended Period, as the case may be, auction such Foreclosed Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(c)          Within thirty (30) days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a statement of accounting for such Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Certificate Administrator and/or Trustee may reasonably request.

Section 12.3. Prohibited Transactions and Activities. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall not permit the sale or disposition of the Trust Loan at a time when the Trust Loan is not the subject of a breach of a representation or is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Lower-Tier REMIC or (ii) the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC in a “qualified liquidation” as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code), nor acquire any assets for either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than Foreclosed Property), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or Distribution Account for gain, nor receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services, nor accept any contributions to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a cash contribution during the three-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting it to take such action) to the effect that such disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or adversely affect the status of the Regular Certificates as representing regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), or (d) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

240

Section 12.4.  Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status. (a) If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties and obligations specifically set forth herein, or by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting therefrom; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, or the Depositor, on which the Certificate Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance of the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or by reason of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and all losses resulting therefrom; provided, however, that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any such losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates on which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of any successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, Argentic Services Company LP, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Custodian and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in September 2021 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest, any Prepayment Charges then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Trustee with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in September 2021 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest, any Prepayment Charges then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Trustee with a written request for payment by wire transfer, together with wire instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any manner the obligations of the Sponsor under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Sponsor, and the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than

Re: CSMC 2021-980M, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-980M, Class [__]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, Argentic Services Company LP, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Custodian and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, on behalf of the holders of Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2021-980M (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by [             ] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_____ aggregate Certificate Balance of Class [   ] Certificates, in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Certificate”). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:

[For Institutional Accredited Investors only] 1. The Purchaser is an institutional “accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”, i.e., an entity meeting the requirements of Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Certificate, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor) as

J-1-1

to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

[For Qualified Institutional Buyers only] 1. The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.

2.       The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under Rule 144A, or (ii) Institutional Accredited Investors pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (ii) to (a) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (b) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (c) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (including applicable state and foreign securities laws), and (d) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. It understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Non-Book Entry Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

3.       The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Certificate cannot be resold unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

4.       The Purchaser has reviewed the applicable Offering Circular dated July 28, 2021, relating to the Certificates (the “Offering Circular”) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular.

5.       The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Non-Book Entry Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

6.       The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

J-1-2

☐       The Purchaser is not a “U.S. Person” and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Registrar (or its agent) with respect to Distributions to be made on the Certificate(s).

The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY, IRS Form W-8ECI or IRS Form W-8EXP, as the case may be, any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.

STATE OF	)
	)                ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

1.       I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

2.       The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “Trust REMIC”) designated as the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and “Upper-Tier REMIC,” respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

3.       The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership

J-2-1

thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, a State, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality that is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by any such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Code Section 511 on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Code Section 860E(c)(1)) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Code Section 521), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Code Section 1381(a)(2) or (v) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar based upon an opinion of counsel to the effect that any transfer to such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding. The terms “United States”, “State” and “International Organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions thereto.

4.       The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.       The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee. For the purpose hereof, a “Permitted Transferee” is any Person or agent of such Person other than (a) a Disqualified Organization, (b) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar who is unable to provide an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of such Person or the Person requesting the transfer) to the effect that the transfer of an ownership interest in any Class R Certificate to such Person will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, (c) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Person, (d) any partnership if any of its interests are (or under the partnership agreement are permitted to be) owned, directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation), by a Disqualified Non-U.S. Person or (e) a U.S. Person with respect to which income from the Class R Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the transferee or any other U.S. Person.

6.       No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.       The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other U.S. Person.

8.       Check the applicable paragraph:

☐       The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

J-2-2

(i)          the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)         the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

(iii)        the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related Trust REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

☐          The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)          the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)         at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a Person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)        the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)        the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐           None of the above.

9.           The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

J-2-3

10.         The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.         The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any Person that does not provide an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

12.         The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.         The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.         The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

15.         The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, Argentic Services Company LP, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Custodian and as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)         No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)         The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Trust and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit J-2. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee (as defined in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement) and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s representations in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement are false.

(3)         The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant

J-3-1

evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

I.       Executive Summary

Based on the requirements and qualifications set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, as well as the items listed below, the Operating Advisor (in accordance with the Operating Advisor’s analysis requirements outlined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) has undertaken a limited review of the Special Servicer’s actions under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Based solely on such limited review of the items listed below, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to its performance of its duties under the Trust and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer has failed to comply with Accepted Servicing Practices, as a result of the following material deviations.]

In addition, the Operating Advisor notes the following: [PROVIDE SUMMARY OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION].

[ADD RECOMMENDATION OF REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICER, IF APPLICABLE]

II.       List of Items that Were Considered in Compiling this Report

¹ This report is an indicative report and does not reflect the final form of annual report to be used in any particular year. The Operating Advisor will have the ability to modify or alter the organization and content of any particular report, subject to the compliance with the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions relating to Privileged Information.

S-1 

In rendering our assessment herein, we examined and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the items listed below:

1. Major Decision Reporting Packages.

2. Reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website and each Asset Status Report and Final Asset Status Report.

3. The Special Servicer’s assessment of compliance report, attestation report by a third party regarding the Special Servicer’s compliance with its obligations and net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations.

4. [LIST OTHER REVIEWED INFORMATION]

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit. For instance, we did not review underlying lease agreements, re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculator, visit any related property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Controlling Class Representative or interact with the borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

III.       Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

1. In rendering our assessment herein, we have assumed that all executed factual statements, instruments, and other documents that we have relied upon in rendering this assessment have been executed by persons with legal capacity to execute such documents.

2. Except as may have been reflected in any Major Decision Reporting Package or Asset Status Report, the Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer’s and Controlling Class Representative’s discussion(s) regarding the Trust Loan when a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Controlling Class Representative or borrower directly. As such, the Operating Advisor relied solely upon the information delivered to it by the Special Servicer as well as its interaction with the Special Servicer, if any, in gathering the relevant information to generate this report. The services that we perform are not designed and cannot be relied upon to detect fraud or illegal acts should any exist.

3. The Special Servicer has the legal authority and responsibility to service the Trust Loan when a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred pursuant to the Trust and Servicing

S-2 

Agreement. The Operating Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein or the actions of the Special Servicer.

4. Confidentiality and other contractual limitations limit the Operating Advisor’s ability to outline the details or substance of any communication held between it and the Special Servicer regarding the Trust Loan when a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and certain information it reviewed in connection with its duties under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. As a result, this report may not reflect all the relevant information that the Operating Advisor is given access to by the Special Servicer.

5. The Operating Advisor is not empowered to speak with any investors directly. If the investors have questions regarding this report, they should address such questions to the certificate administrator through the certificate administrator’s website.

6. This report does not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, nor does the Operating Advisor take into account market prices of securities or financial markets generally when performing its limited review of the Special Servicer as described above. The Operating Advisor does not have a fiduciary relationship with any Certificateholder or any other party or individual. Nothing in this report is intended to or should be construed as creating a fiduciary relationship between the Operating Advisor and any Certificateholder, party or individual.

Terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of December 1, 2019, among UBS Commercial Mortgage Securitization Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes (each, a “Class”), which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust (exclusive of the Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as two (2) separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).

In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class Z Specific Grantor Trust Assets shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes (the “Grantor Trust”). Solely for tax purposes, the Class Z Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Class Z Specific Grantor Trust Assets. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.

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

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) and will issue the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LASB, Class LA3, Class LA4, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LNR-RR Uncertificated Interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

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

Class Designation	Interest Rate	Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount

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

UPPER-TIER REMIC

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class NR-RR Regular Certificates, each of which is a “regular interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder.

-74-

“Nonrecoverable P&I Advance”: Any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) which, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer, and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the Special Servicer) shall not be binding upon (but may be conclusively relied upon by) the Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Trustee or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Trustee may rely on the non-recoverability determination of the Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement. Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that any P&I Advance with respect to a related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, related Non-Serviced Special Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise). In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current

-75-

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

-76-

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

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

-77-

determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance has been made or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the Special Servicer) shall not be binding upon (but may be conclusively relied upon by) the Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the Special Servicer shall be binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer

-78-

shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan. The determination as to the recoverability of any servicing advance or property protection advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA.

(b)       In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and warrants that it has directed, the Mortgage Loan Sellers pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (A) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (B) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Section 2.01(b) and (c) hereof with regard to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date (which delivery shall be subject to clause (e) and clause (f) of the first proviso to the definition of “Mortgage File”), any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to this Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan.

If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) and (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, if applicable, a copy thereof) with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), solely because of a delay caused by the public filing or recording office where such document or

-129-

instrument has been delivered, or will be delivered within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date, for filing or recordation, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied on a provisional basis as of the Closing Date as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a duplicate original or a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (certified by the applicable public filing or recording office, the applicable title insurance company or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted or to be submitted for filing or recording) is delivered to the Custodian on or before the date set forth herein, and either the original of such non-delivered document or instrument, or a photocopy thereof (certified by the appropriate county recorder’s office or the applicable title insurance company, in the case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording), with evidence of filing or recording thereon, is delivered to the Custodian within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) months, after the Closing Date as the Custodian shall consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, as long as the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee and the Custodian no less often than every ninety (90) days following such 180–day period after the Closing Date, attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public filing office or county recorder’s office such original or photocopy). If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to, but cannot, deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii), and (ix) (or, if applicable, a copy thereof) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), for any other reason, including, without limitation, that such non-delivered document or instrument has been lost or destroyed, the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (with evidence of filing or recording thereon and certified in the case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” by the appropriate county recorder’s office or the applicable title insurance company to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording) is delivered to the Custodian on or before the date set forth herein. Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall in any way be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b). If, on the Closing Date as to any Mortgage Loan, subject to the next sentence, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to, but cannot, deliver (in complete and recordable form or form suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iii), clause (v), or clause (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because of the unavailability of filing or recording information as to any existing document or instrument, such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such assignment by delivering with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date an omnibus assignment of such Mortgage Loan substantially in the form of Exhibit H; provided that all required original assignments with respect to such Mortgage Loan (in fully complete and recordable form or form

-130-

suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) are delivered to the Custodian within one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) months, which the Custodian shall consent to so long as the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee and the Custodian no less often than every ninety (90) days following such 180–day period after the Closing Date, attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public filing office or county recorder’s office the applicable filing or recording information as to the related document or instrument); and provided, further, that in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the delivery of any such assignments shall be subject to clause (e) and clause (f) of the first proviso to the definition of “Mortgage File” herein. As to any Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent is responsible for recording or filing, as applicable, any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iii), clause (v), or clause (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, and such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such assignment by delivering to the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date a copy of such assignment in the form sent for recording or filing or (except for recording or filing information not yet available) to be sent for recording or filing; provided that an original or copy of such assignment (with evidence of recording or filing, as applicable, indicated thereon) shall be delivered to the Custodian as contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the delivery of a letter of credit in the manner described in clause (A) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering to the Custodian within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date with respect to any such letter(s) of credit a copy of such letter of credit, the transfer documentation and such transmittal communication to the issuing bank indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance. If a letter of credit is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver copies of the appropriate transfer or assignment documents to the Custodian promptly following receipt of written notification thereof. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any transfer fee required in order to transfer the beneficiary’s interest from such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust as required hereunder and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is reissued to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust. Regardless of the manner of delivery, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to indemnify the Trust for any liabilities, charges, costs, fees or other expenses accruing from the failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to assign all rights in and to the letter of credit hereunder including the right and power to draw on the letter of credit.

(c)       Except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required at its sole cost and expense, to itself, or to engage a third party to, put each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and, individually, “Assignment”) relating to the Mortgage Loans conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in proper form for filing or recording, as applicable, and to

-131-

submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b). Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of this Section 2.01(c) and except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will itself, or a third party at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense will, promptly (and in any event within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each Assignment. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a file copy thereof in the case of a UCC Assignment) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage File and be deemed a part thereof, and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the expenses for the preparation of replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause (iii) or (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” or to file any UCC-3 to the Trustee referred to in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, such

-132-

recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.

(d)       All documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to the Mortgage Loans (including, in the case of such Mortgage Loan Seller, originals or copies of all financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, Insurance Policies, certificates, guaranty/indemnity agreements, property inspection reports, escrow analysis, tax bills, third-party management agreements, asset summary and financial information on the borrower/sponsor and any guarantor, but in any case excluding the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney-client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data) that (i) are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof and (ii) are reasonably necessary for the servicing of each such Mortgage Loan, together with copies of all documents in each Mortgage File (to the extent not already delivered or made available to the Master Servicer), shall be delivered by the Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date (except that copies of instruments of assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned or delivered, as applicable, to it) and shall be held by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holder. Such documents and records shall be any documents and records (with the exception of any items excluded under the immediately preceding sentence) that would otherwise be a part of the Servicing File.

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

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

(d)       Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Material Defect in any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the

-136-

related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the Master Servicer an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until the same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two (2) immediately preceding sentences, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such Material Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b). All such funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.

(e)       It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (vi), (vii) and (xii) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person (unless identified on the Mortgage Loan Checklist) or (ii) to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (viii) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan funding. Further, with respect to the UCC Financing Statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one (1) state level UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two (2) or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing), or if the Custodian has received notice that a particular UCC Financing Statement was filed as a fixture filing, that the related Mortgage File should include only a local UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two (2) or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing). The assignments of the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trust will be delivered on the national forms (or on such other form as may be acceptable for filing or recording in the applicable jurisdiction) and in a format suitable for filing or recording, as applicable, and will be filed or recorded in the jurisdiction(s) where such UCC Financing Statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.

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

-138-

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

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

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

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a ‘15Ga-1 Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase

-139-

Request Recipient in respect of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

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

In the event that a Mortgage Loan is repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor of such repurchase or replacement.

(h)       The parties hereto acknowledge the obligation of each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 2(d) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver at its expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, to the Special Servicer five (5) originals of limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit TT hereto in favor of the Special Servicer to empower the Special Servicer to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of this Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)); provided that if the Mortgage Loan Seller fails to promptly pay the Special Servicer the expenses associated with recording documents as provided in this sentence, then such expenses shall be payable out of the Trust (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will nonetheless remain responsible for reimbursing the Trust for such expenses). The Special Servicer shall not be liable for any failure of such third party in connection with the foregoing, so long as the third party was chosen in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Each Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed to reasonably cooperate with the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by the Special Servicer for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the third preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or at the time required for enforcement by the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the date set forth above, provided, the Special Servicer shall not submit such assignments for recording if the related Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment

-140-

for recording and certifies that such Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

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

(i)       The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Depositor has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the power and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement;

(ii)       Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each other party hereto, this Agreement and all of the obligations of the Depositor hereunder are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

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

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

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

-141-

(b)       After receipt of a Repurchase Request, the Enforcing Servicer shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of such Repurchase Request or, if earlier, such Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, the earlier of (x) discovery by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to this Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)); provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the related Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date for so long as such

-142-

Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that such Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a Qualified Mortgage shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. In the event the Special Servicer is required to enforce the Repurchase Request related to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan under this Section 2.03(b), within five (5) Business Days of request by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a copy of the Servicing File with respect to any such Non-Specially Serviced Loan.

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not (i) an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or (ii) a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan (prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date)), with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement. In connection with any Loss of Value Payment with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frames and in the manner provided in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event), with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably required by the Special Servicer to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment, to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event). The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or

-143-

settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer to the extent not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and, upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) for the related Mortgage Loan if (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as

-144-

required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report or possession of the Mortgage File), (iii) such delay precludes such Mortgage Loan Seller from curing such Material Defect and (iv) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(c)       Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following shall cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed to have a Material Defect: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects previously described in sub-clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party

-145-

with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation; provided, further, that no Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in sub-clauses (b) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5(a) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01.

(d)       In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner as provided in Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, so as to vest in such Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(e)       Section 5 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and the provisions of this Section 2.03 provide the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders (subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the

-146-

Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Material Defect.

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

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

-147-

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

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

(j)       With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(h) or Section 2.03(i) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, will, as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to

-148-

forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.

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

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

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

(l)       (i) After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder, a party to this Agreement or the Directing Certificateholder), the Enforcing Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com) who shall make such notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on

-149-

the Certificate Administrator’s Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (a “Proposed Course of Action”). Such notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within 30 days of the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such 30-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that in the event any responding Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) shall be compelled to follow the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures relating to the delivery of Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices described in this Agreement, (c) a statement that responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received that clearly indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(l) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation shall not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation of the responses of the responding Certificateholders and whether that amount constitutes a majority. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within thirty (30) days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration. In the event that any Certificateholder or Certificate

-150-

Owner entitled to do so delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such responses shall be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority of Certificateholders.

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

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

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

(v)       If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If there are more than one

-151-

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

(vi)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) shall not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

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

(viii)       For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan nor any of their respective affiliates shall be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder, to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice or otherwise vote Certificates owned by it or such affiliate(s) with respect to a course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.03.

(ix)       The Requesting Certificateholder is entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration in its sole discretion; however, the Requesting Certificateholder shall not be entitled to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful.

-152-

(m)If the Enforcing Party selects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration), the following provisions shall apply:

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

(ii)The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the state of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten (10) potential qualified mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two (2) peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

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

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

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

(vi)Out of pocket costs and expenses of the Enforcing Servicer for mediation or arbitration, to the extent not agreed to be paid by the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of mediation) or allocated to the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of arbitration) shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.

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

(i)The arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Arbitration Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

(ii)The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed

-153-

securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten (10) potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two (2) peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

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

(iv)After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than ten (10) Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

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

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

-154-

the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(iv)In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and

-155-

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

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

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

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

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

(ix)Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration or related responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement shall be reimbursable as additional Trust Fund expenses.

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the related Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans for other third party portfolios and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with a view to (A) the timely recovery of all payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Whole Loans or (B) in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property, the maximization of recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans, and the best interests of the Trust and the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender) (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, the best interests of the Trust, the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the holder or holders of the related Companion Loan constituted a single lender), taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of the related Companion Loan), as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment, in either case giving due consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan servicers, but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from: (i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have with any Mortgagor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any other parties to this Agreement, any Sponsor, any originator of a Mortgage Loan or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate (or any interest in any Companion Loan, mezzanine loan, or subordinate debt relating to a Mortgage Loan) by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; (iii) the obligation, if any, of the Master Servicer to make Advances; (iv) the right of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates to receive compensation for its services and reimbursement for its costs hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction; (v) the ownership, servicing or management for others of (a) a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Non-Serviced Companion Loan or (b) any other mortgage loans, subordinate debt, mezzanine loans or properties not covered by this Agreement or held by the Trust by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates; (vi) any debt that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates, has extended to any Mortgagor or an Affiliate of any Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing); (vii) any option to purchase any Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates, may have; and (viii) any obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or any of their respective Affiliates, to repurchase

-158-

or substitute for a Mortgage Loan as a Mortgage Loan Seller (if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates is a Mortgage Loan Seller) (the foregoing, collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).

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

Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer (i) any Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and any related Serviced Companion Loans as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (each, a “Specially Serviced Loan”) or as otherwise provided herein with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans in connection with any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision and (ii) any REO Properties (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties); provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, except for the reports specified herein as prepared by the Special Servicer, as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Master Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, shall not have any responsibility for the performance by the Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, shall not have any responsibility for the performance by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.19(a). Without limiting the foregoing, subject to (i) the processing of any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision by the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) Section 3.19 and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall perform property inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls and forward to the Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan if efforts by the Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact shall be coordinated through and with the cooperation of the Master Servicer. No provision herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loan or be construed to impair or adversely affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (including with respect to Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees or the right to be

-159-

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

(b)Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08) and of the respective Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to Section 3.20, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (with respect to (x) Special Servicer Decisions and Major Decisions on the Mortgage Loans and (y) the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties), in its own name (or in the name of the Trustee and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder), is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) and the Trustee or any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan it is obligated to service under this Agreement: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, and shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments as necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.18 and 6.08, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to, under or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, pledge agreements and other documents in connection with a defeasance, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments; and (iv) any or all complaints or other pleadings to initiate and/or to terminate any action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Trust (in their representative capacities (except as set forth below in this paragraph). The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall provide to the Mortgagor related to such Mortgage Loans that it is servicing any reports required to be provided to them pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) on the Closing Date, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents necessary or

-160-

appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding, and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

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

-161-

(d)The relationship of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

(e)The Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents or any related Companion Loan documents, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.

(f)Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that (A) the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee, (B) any notice of default under such Ground Lease that is required to be delivered to the leasehold mortgagee pursuant to the terms of such Ground Lease shall be delivered to the Master Servicer (who shall forward such notice to the Special Servicer), and (C) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor.

With respect to letters of credit delivered in accordance with subclause (B) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, (a) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date or such shorter period as is required by the terms of such letter of credit or other applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify the bank issuing the letter of credit that the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be the beneficiary under such letter of credit, and (b) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall present such letter of credit and the related assignment documentation delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with such subclause of the definition of “Mortgage File” to the letter of credit bank issuing such letter of credit and request that such letter of credit bank reissue the letter of credit in the name of “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of registered holders of UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18”. The Master Servicer shall otherwise use reasonable efforts to obtain such reissued letter of credit back from the issuing letter of credit bank within sixty (60) days (and in any event within ninety (90) days) following the Closing Date. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide such reasonable cooperation as requested by the Master Servicer, including without limitation by delivering such additional assignment or amendment documents required by the issuing bank in order to reissue a letter of credit as provided above.

If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date that the letter of credit has been revised as contemplated in the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such

-162-

Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

The Master Servicer acknowledges that any letter of credit held by it shall be held in its capacity as agent of the Trust, and if the Master Servicer sells its rights to service the applicable Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall assign the applicable letter of credit to the Trust or (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) at the direction of the Special Servicer to such party as the Special Servicer may instruct, in each case at the expense of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trust for any loss caused by the ineffectiveness of such assignment.

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

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

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

-163-

(j)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being acknowledged that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party); provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while the related Serviced Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund shall be payable out of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after the date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so long as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) has not been entered into, the Master Servicer shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Servicing Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in the case of a Servicing Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder.

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

(l)The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement, (i) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered by the related

-164-

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

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

(n)[RESERVED].

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

(p)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from and otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Mortgagor as though the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the Servicing Standard.

Section 3.02Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a)  The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation,

-165-

the Servicing Standard); provided that with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has an Anticipated Repayment Date, for so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of the related ARD Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such ARD Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full; provided, further, that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Certificateholder; provided, further, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party with respect to the foregoing waivers.

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

fourth, to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause first or second, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of such Mortgage Loan following a default thereunder (or, if the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance);

fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts but for such P&I Advance not having been made as a result of a determination by the Master Servicer that such P&I Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Advance, and (B) any unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (in each case, to the extent collections have not been allocated as recovery of such accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause fifth on earlier dates);

-169-

Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (in each case, to the extent collections have not been allocated as recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause fifth or clause fifth of the prior paragraph on earlier dates);

tenth, in the case of an ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest;

provided that if a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan comprising a Non-Serviced Whole Loan becomes an REO Loan, the treatment of the foregoing amounts with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA, in that order; provided, further, that with respect to each Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan, amounts collected with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan shall be allocated first pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and then, any amounts allocated to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be subject to application as described above.

(iii)Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, such provisions shall not be deemed to affect the priority of distributions of payments pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that such amounts are paid by a party other than a Mortgagor, such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of a purchase of all or part of the Mortgaged Property (in the case of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) and then paid by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, or in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

(c)To the extent consistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the related Intercreditor Agreement) and applicable law, the Master Servicer shall apply all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds it receives on a day other than the Due Date to amounts due and owing under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan as if such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received on the Due Date immediately succeeding the month in which Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

-170-

(d)In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee and Certificate Administrator two (2) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).

(e)In connection with the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which the related Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter of credit related to obtaining performance objectives, such as targeted debt service coverage levels or leasing criteria with respect to the Mortgaged Property as a whole or particular portions thereof, if the mortgagee has the discretion under the applicable Mortgage Loan documents to retain the cash or letter of credit (or the proceeds of such letters of credit) as additional collateral if the relevant conditions to release are not satisfied, then the related Master Servicer may continue to hold such escrows or letters of credit (or the proceeds of such letters of credit) as additional collateral or use such funds to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (to the extent the related Mortgage Loan documents allow such action), unless holding or application of such funds would otherwise be inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan documents or the Servicing Standard.

(f)Promptly following the Closing Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, and, with respect to the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, promptly following receipt of notice in connection with the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (with a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating that, as of such date, the Trustee is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property.

Section 3.03Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts. (a)  The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments received by it shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder(s) collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify the respective interests of any noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor

-171-

Agreement. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion Loan documents, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

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

-172-

applicable) and similar items, the Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other such Mortgage Loans or Companion Loan, as applicable, that it is responsible for servicing hereunder, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

(c)In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid and (ii) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of the Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special

-173-

Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Servicing Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall instead be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, and such determination shall be binding upon the Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Other Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans, related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the

-174-

Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Companion Holders), all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans). The Master Servicer or the Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make servicing advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for nonrecoverable servicing advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

(d)In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance out of the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Trustee, the Special Servicer and then the Master Servicer, as the case may be and in that order, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Subject to Section 3.17(c), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as soon as practically possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if

-175-

applicable) subject to the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts as provided herein; provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts shall not alter the Master Servicer’s obligation to reimburse the Special Servicer for any outstanding Servicing Advance as provided for in this sentence. To the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account with respect to the related Companion Loan are insufficient for any such reimbursement, the Master Servicer shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain any reimbursement available from the holder of the related Companion Loan.

(e)To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the date as of which actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

Section 3.04The Collection Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account. (a)  The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, the Collection Account in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis and in no event later than the second (2^nd) Business Day following receipt of available and properly identified funds (in the case of payments by Mortgagors or other collections on the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans), except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans due and payable on or before the Cut-off Date, which payments shall be delivered promptly to the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller or its respective designee and other than any amounts received from Mortgagors which are received in connection with the purchase of defeasance collateral), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:

(i)all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans or principal prepayments on Serviced Companion Loans;

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

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, assumption fees, modification fees, extension fees, defeasance fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks returned for insufficient funds or other amounts the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Assumption, extension and modification fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Loans shall be promptly delivered to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

-177-

Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer shall remit within one (1) Business Day such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, in accordance with this Section 3.04(a). Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.14(c).

Section 3.06Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the REO Account. (a)  The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, or any Servicing Account (for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”), the Special Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the REO Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund (also for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”) to invest or if it is such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein, only in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any funds held in an Investment Account shall be held in the name of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, on behalf of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous physical possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Accounts, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the REO Account, as applicable, that is either (i) a “certificated security,” as such term is defined in the UCC (such that the Trustee shall have control pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC) or (ii) other property in which a secured party may perfect its security interest by physical possession under the UCC or any other applicable law. In the case of any Permitted Investment held in the form of a “security entitlement” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall take or cause to be taken such action as the Trustee deems reasonably necessary to cause the Trustee to have control over such security entitlement. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall:

(i)consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) all amounts then payable thereunder and (b) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

-194-

(ii)demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b)Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer to the extent (with respect to Servicing Accounts) not required to be paid to the related Mortgagor and shall be subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at its direction, in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.05(a), as the case may be. Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each period from and including any Distribution Date to and including the immediately succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.14(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment (as to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been entitled to any Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and on deposit in any of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the REO Account, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall deposit therein, no later than the P&I Advance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made (and, with respect to the Master Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer unless such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to such insolvency).

(c)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer may and, upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

Section 3.07Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  The Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause each Mortgagor to maintain, and the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be). If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. Any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially reasonable rates shall be made (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to such party, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, if the Directing Certificateholder’s consent is required and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), (ii) after the occurrence and during continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to such party, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and (iii) after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party). Such determination shall be made by the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan); provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) and (i) unless a Control Termination Event has

-196-

occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), (ii) after the occurrence and during continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and (iii) after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party)) and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless the Special Servicer determines ((i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related AB Control Appraisal Period, with the consent of the Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), (ii) after the occurrence and during continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and (iii) after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days’ prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the

-197-

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other than REO Properties and other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Trustee has an insurable interest and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions; provided that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such policies contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor under a Specially Serviced Loan fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. In addition, upon the written request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any individual triggering event,

-198-

the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis pursuant to Section 6.08(a) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) within the same time period as it would obtain consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any such determination, by the Special Servicer, of an Acceptable Insurance Default. If the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer (with regard to such determination made by the Special Servicer) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. The Master Servicer (at the expense of the Master Servicer) and the Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of the Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of any Companion Loan, or (solely with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consulting (on a non-binding basis) with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

(b)(i)  If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation

which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain, earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.

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

(c)The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors or omissions. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions insurance policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

(d)At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.

(e)During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer shall cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and in consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in either such case, other than with respect to (i) any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party and (ii) any Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period)) in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt obligations or the deposit account or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A3” by Moody’s (if rated by Moody’s) or “A-” by Fitch (if rated by Fitch), the Master Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligations under this Section 3.07.

(g)Each of the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of

this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

(d)Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08.

and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents; provided that any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).

Section 3.09Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a)  Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholder’s and the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s respective rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make an offer on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such offers to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of making an offer at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

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

-208-

(i)such personal property is incident to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or

(ii)the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

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

(i)such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

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

The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance, unless it is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be withdrawn in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement by the Master Servicer from the Collection Account, including from the Companion Distribution Account (such withdrawal

-209-

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

(d)If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 4 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 5 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case, (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the

-210-

Certificates). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

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

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

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

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

Section 3.10Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a)  Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced

-211-

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

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

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

-212-

trustee’s sale. The Trustee shall not be required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.

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

Section 3.11Servicing Compensation. (a)  As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA). As to each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, except that if such Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan and such Serviced Whole Loan continues to be serviced and administered under this Agreement notwithstanding such Liquidation Event, then the applicable Servicing Fee shall continue to accrue and be payable as if such Liquidation Event did not occur. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a).

Except as set forth in the following sentence, the fourth (4th) paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.03, Section 6.05 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof). With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Master Servicer from amounts payable in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.

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

-213-

(i) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that are Master Servicer Decisions; and for any matter for a Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Loan which matter involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such Excess Modification Fees (whether or not processed by the Special Servicer);

(ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received on any Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) (whether or not consent of the Special Servicer is required) to the extent the Master Servicer is processing the underlying transaction and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement); and

(iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees and defeasance fees) pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) relating to Master Servicer Decisions; and for any matter for a Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Loan which matter involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees (whether or not processed by the Special Servicer).

In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the related Mortgagors under such Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands were prepared by the Master Servicer and other customary charges and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds with respect to the accounts held by the Master Servicer and reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, in each case only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in its Servicing Accounts which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excesses and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the

-214-

related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

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

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

(b)As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-

-215-

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

(c)The Special Servicer shall be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of:

(i)100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans;

(ii)100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent the Special Servicer processes the underlying transaction;

(iii)100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees, or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on any Specially Serviced Loan or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor on Specially Serviced Loans,

(iv)100% of assumption fees and other similar fees received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans; and

(v)50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption, waiver, consent and earnout and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees and defeasance fees) pursuant to Section 3.08 or Section 3.18 received with respect to any Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, but including any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s)) that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent that the matter involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision (whether or not processed by the Special Servicer);

and shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income

-216-

earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date). The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to charge and retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any charges for beneficiary statements to the extent such beneficiary statements were prepared by the Special Servicer and other customary charges and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds with respect to the accounts held by the Special Servicer. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount received by the Special Servicer; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) being equal to $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to the Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such Corrected Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be

-217-

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

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

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

If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as the Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as the Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer

-219-

were replacing the Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

(e)With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the related Remittance Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML, Word or Excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date; provided that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

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

(g)Pursuant to the CREFC^® License Agreement, CREFC^® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit II hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC^® may provide to the Master Servicer in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and, to the extent sufficient funds are on deposit therein, pay the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC^® in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xii) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

Section 3.12Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a)  The Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (i) $2,000,000 or more at least once every twelve (12) months and (ii) less than $2,000,000 at least once every twenty-four (24) months, in each case, commencing in the calendar year 2021 (and each Mortgaged Property shall be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2022); provided, however, that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform, or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such

-220-

Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan. The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (i) with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with their respective outstanding principal balances, or (ii) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, from the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan(s) and then, from the Serviced AB Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans on a pro rata and pari passu basis (provided that, with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise modify the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which any amounts collected with respect to the related Whole Loan are allocated to the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans and the AB Subordinate Companion Loans), in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections. The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy at the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report has knowledge of and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, deems material, (iv) any visible material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection and (v) photographs of each inspected Mortgaged Property. The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall promptly following preparation deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, respectively, to the other party and to the Directing Certificateholder ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan (as to such party) that is a Specially Serviced Loan). Within five (5) Business Days after request for copies of such reports by the Rating Agencies, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable, to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for review by NRSROs (including the Rating Agencies) that are Privileged Persons. The Master Servicer shall deliver or make available a copy of each such report to the Directing Certificateholder and upon request to each Controlling Class Certificateholder (which request may state that such items may be delivered until further notice) (except, after the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event or with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan that is an Excluded Loan).

(b)The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly and review from each related Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property

-221-

commencing with the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2020 and the calendar year ending on December 31, 2020, and the quarterly and annual financial statements of such Mortgagor, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and any other reports or documents required to be delivered under the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and each Serviced Companion Loan), if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (and each Serviced Companion Loan) documents. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be required to request such operating statements or rent rolls more than once if the related Mortgagor is not required to deliver such statements pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. In addition, the Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall deliver all such items to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days of receipt, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or make available copies of all the foregoing items so collected to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the Depositor, in electronic format, in each case within sixty (60) days of its receipt thereof, but in no event, in the case of annual statements, later than June 30 of each year commencing in 2020. Upon the request of any Privileged Person (other than the NRSROs) to receive copies of such items, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) shall deliver electronic copies of such items to the Certificate Administrator to be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Upon the request of any NRSRO, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) shall deliver copies of all or any portion of the foregoing items so collected thereby to the 17g-5 Information Provider pursuant to Section 3.13(c).

Furthermore, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), if the related Mortgage Loan documents provide for the annual or quarterly testing of financial conditions of the related Mortgagor and/or Mortgaged Properties (e.g., debt yield tests, debt service coverage ratio tests and/or loan-to-value ratio tests) in connection with cash-management triggers or the commencement of additional required Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or the Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan (only to the extent the related information required for such testing is to be delivered to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents and is actually delivered to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), shall use reasonable efforts to conduct such financial testing within the timeframes contemplated by such Mortgage Loan documents. Furthermore, in accordance with this Section 3.12(b), with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or the Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan, shall use reasonable efforts to collect financial statements from the related Mortgagor for the periods set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents (e.g., and as applicable, for the entire fiscal year where annual reporting is required).

In addition, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans that are not, and REO Properties that do not relate to, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), as applicable, shall prepare with

The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) shall deliver or make available copies (in electronic format) of each CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Report and, upon request, the related operating statements (in each case, promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof) to the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the related Companion Holder (with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan).

(c)At or before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File and any applicable

Not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the P&I Advance Date beginning January 2020, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator the CREFC^® Schedule AL File in EDGAR-Compatible Format and Excel format; provided that the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to prepare or deliver any such CREFC^® Schedule AL File unless the Depositor has delivered the items required by Section 2.01(j). If the CREFC^®

-224-

Schedule AL File is not provided by the date specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator shall request such CREFC^® Schedule AL File from the Master Servicer via e-mail at ssreports@wellsfargo.com with a copy to the Depositor at nicholas.galeone@ubs.com. In preparing the CREFC^® Schedule AL File and any Schedule AL Additional File for any given Distribution Date, and without any due diligence, investigation or verification, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely, absent manifest error, on the content, completeness, accuracy and compliance with any applicable requirements of Items 1111(h) and 1125 of Regulation AB and Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act as in effect on the Closing Date of the Initial Schedule AL File, Initial Schedule AL Additional File and the Annex A-1 to the Prospectus. The Master Servicer may concurrently with the delivery of the related CREFC^® Schedule AL File, deliver any related Schedule AL Additional File in EDGAR-Compatible Format to the Certificate Administrator. The CREFC^® Schedule AL File and the Schedule AL Additional File shall each be a single file. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be required to combine multiple CREFC^® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files, unless, solely with respect to the Master Servicer, multiple Sub-Servicers prepare and submit such CREFC^® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files to the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to review, redact, reconcile, edit or verify the content, completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any CREFC^® Schedule AL File or Schedule AL Additional File. The Certificate Administrator shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the contents of any CREFC^® Schedule AL File or Schedule AL Additional File solely by its receipt thereof.

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

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

-225-

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

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

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

Section 3.13Access to Certain Information. (a)  The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Mortgage Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder, and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by applicable law. At the election of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the

-226-

Directing Certificateholder and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders, as applicable) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.

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

Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in the next succeeding paragraph, upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder (or with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan related to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may provide (or make available electronically) or make available at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as the case may be) obtained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may require a written

-227-

confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, generally to the effect that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (other than as permitted in the preceding paragraph with respect to any Certificateholder or as specifically provided for herein with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder (except, with respect to a Mortgage Loan Seller, to the extent necessary for such party to comply with its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and except for the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, acting in such capacities) or beneficial owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

(b)The Certificate Administrator shall make available to Privileged Persons (provided that the Prospectus, Distribution Date Statements, Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, this Agreement and the Commission EDGAR filings referred to below will be available to the general public) via the Certificate Administrator’s Website, the following items, in each case, to the extent such items were prepared by or delivered to the Certificate Administrator in electronic format:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Excluded Information shall be made available under a separate tab or heading designated “Excluded Information” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (and not under any of the tabs or headings described in items (i) through (viii) above) and made available to Privileged Persons other than any Excluded Controlling Class Holder that is a Borrower Party (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)).

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

In the case of the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto, the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to access all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee may each rely on (i) an investor certification in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class

-232-

Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) an investor certification in the form of Exhibit P-1D hereto from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s). In the event the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such party shall promptly notify each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E that such party has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F listing each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder and directing the Certificate Administrator to restrict such Excluded Controlling Class Holder’s access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. Upon confirmation from the Certificate Administrator that such access has been restricted, such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall submit a new investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D to access the information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, except that such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall not be entitled to access any Excluded Information related to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)) made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. With respect to any Excluded Information sent for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall mark or label such information as “Excluded Information” prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and, if possible at a later time, on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Certificateholder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or disclosure of any information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including any related Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.33.

-233-

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that it is not or is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (D) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

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

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any report, document or other information made available on its Internet website or its filing of such information pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, filing via EDGAR, and assumes no responsibility therefor, other than with respect to such reports, documents or other information prepared by the Certificate Administrator.

(i)None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, servicing operations in general; provided that the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans, to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website or (z) the Rating Agency confirms that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates; provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered under this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.13(i).

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

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

-240-

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

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

(c)The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date

-241-

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

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

Section 3.15Management of REO Property. (a)  If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect, operate and lease such REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s) on a net after-tax basis as compared with net leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a different basis. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such properly identified funds) in the REO Account all

-242-

revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:

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

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

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

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

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to such party, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event)) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.

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

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

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

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

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

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning

-243-

of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

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

(iii)any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;

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

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

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

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

Section 3.16Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties. (a)  (i)  Within thirty (30) days after a Defaulted Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within

-244-

thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing Standard including, without limitation, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.

(ii)If any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(iii)If any Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and also if (solely in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Intercreditor Agreement) the related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for such Mortgage Loan has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holder constituted a single lender) in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell ((i) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) after consulting with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), in each case, provided such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (and provided that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation fee), the Special Servicer will be entitled to the liquidation fee that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer would have otherwise been entitled to in connection with the sale of such Non-

-245-

Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than in respect of any Excluded Loan) and, in respect of any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence of an AB Control Appraisal Period, the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan. Neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Defaulted Loan.

(iv)(A)          In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall solicit offers and, subject to sub-clause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Loan, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror), the Trustee shall determine whether the offer constitutes a fair price unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (x) it is the highest offer received and (y) at least two (2) other offers are received from independent third parties. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan

-246-

or Serviced Whole Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable by, the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Loan.

(B)The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, subject to the limitations on consultation set forth in and in accordance with Section 6.08(a) (in each case, unless a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender, and taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer from any Person other than an Affiliate of the Special Servicer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender, and taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

-247-

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

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

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

(B)The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect

-248-

to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer.

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

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

-249-

the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

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

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

-250-

determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-251-

amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, other than in the case of an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such Collection Period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or in respect of Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which shall mean that (i) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (i) above, or (iii) in the case of the Master Servicer, it has not timely received from the Trustee information required by the Master Servicer to determine whether to defer reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence apply, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give the 17g-5 Information Provider a notice for posting of the anticipated reimbursement as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding or second preceding sentence shall in no way affect the

-252-

Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by this Section 3.17(c).

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this Section 3.17 or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.17 and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines, in its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then from interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as the case may be, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.17 or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this Section 3.17(c).

No determination by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to exercise its sole option to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or interest thereon under this section shall be construed as an agreement by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable)

-253-

to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.

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

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

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

Section 3.18Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a)  The Special Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and all such matters that involve a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision for all Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Loans, and the Master Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and does not involve a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision. Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i), Section 3.18(m) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder, as applicable, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan that would constitute a Major Decision without (x) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained by the Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a) or (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control

-254-

Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a); and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a) shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease, ten (10) years, prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, (1) the Special Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party), with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.18(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, consult with the Directing Certificateholder and (z) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in each case, pursuant to the process described in Section 6.08(a).

Additionally, the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan that would constitute a Special Servicer Decision under any of clauses (d), (e), (f) and (g) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision” unless (x) (i) prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder has consented in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to clause (g) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision”, five (5) Business Days) after the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent (provided

-255-

that if such written consent has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day (or five (5) Business Day, as applicable) period, then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action) or (y) (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to clause (g) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision”, five (5) Business Days) following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, as applicable, on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder) or Serviced Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a) if any such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, without the consent of or consultation with the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Directing Certificateholder, may modify or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25)) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan

-256-

and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and except as provided in the next sentence, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer any additional information in the Master Servicer’s possession reasonably requested by the Special Servicer relating to such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. Unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and/or analysis with respect to any such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to obtain the Special Servicer’s prior consent (or deemed consent as set forth in Section 6.08) to the Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, as applicable.

(b)If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (w) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x) with respect to any such Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in Section 6.08, (y) with respect to any such Specially Serviced

-257-

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

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

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

The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and

-258-

shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and (B) to the extent such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), (in each case, other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party), ten (10) years prior to the expiration of the then-current term of such leasehold estate (including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan, or Serviced Whole Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.

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

(d)To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a), and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18 if such matter constitutes a Master Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.18(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision or relates to a Specially Serviced Loan) may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. In making this determination, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on

(f)All modifications (including extensions), waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans and/or Companion Loans entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be in writing, signed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the related Mortgagor (and by any guarantor of the related Mortgage Loan, if such guarantor’s signature is required by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard).

(g)With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, other than following the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), the applicable Companion Holder (unless, with respect to a holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred, if applicable), the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof.

(h)Subject to the consent rights and processes set forth in Section 6.08 with respect to Major Decisions and Special Servicer Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasance transactions and shall be entitled to all defeasance fees paid relating thereto (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25); provided, further, however, that no such confirmation from any Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $35,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of all Mortgage Loans, and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan

-262-

documents, such reasonable costs shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(i)Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents or Serviced Whole Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18(a) with respect to any such action that constitutes a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision) reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable or Companion Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any Trust REMIC; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to (i) all of the Mortgage Loans that were originated or acquired by Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P. that are subject to defeasance, (ii) all of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Exhibit B hereto as Shoppes at Parma) that were originated or acquired by Rialto Real Estate Fund IV – Debt, LP that are subject to defeasance, (iii) all of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Exhibit B hereto as Westmont Red Roof Inn Portfolio II and 3 Columbus Circle) that were originated or acquired by Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC that are subject to defeasance, and (iv) all of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Exhibit B hereto as 225 Bush, Wyndham National Hotel Portfolio, ILPT Industrial Portfolio, Doubletree New York Times Square West Leased Fee, Shelbourne Square and Apple Inc. Boulder) that were originated or acquired by UBS AG, New York Branch that are subject to defeasance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller has transferred to a third party or has retained on behalf of itself or an Affiliate the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and/or to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (any such right or obligation, the “Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan,

-263-

which such Mortgage Loan provides for Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides the Master Servicer with written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the related Mortgage Loan Seller at its respective notice address provided under Section 13.05. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to defeasance, if the successor borrower is not designated or formed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate or successor thereto, the successor borrower shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(j)If required under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested by the Master Servicer in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii). To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Available Funds” and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in the case of a leap year).

(k)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall, unless it has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) (the cost of which shall be paid by the related Mortgagor, if so allowed by the terms of the related loan documents and otherwise paid out of general collections) grant or accept any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the related property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager, with respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan that (i) is one of the ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans a by Stated Principal Balance or (ii) has an unpaid principal balance that is at least equal to 5% of the then-aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans or $35,000,000.

-264-

(l)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any modification, waiver, consent or amendment in connection with any release of collateral securing any Mortgage Loan in connection with a defeasance of such collateral, the Special Servicer shall not approve any such modification, waiver or amendment or consent thereto without first having received a copy of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer that such modification, waiver, consent or amendment will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to the extent the Special Servicer determines in its reasonable good faith business judgment consistent with the Servicing Standard that such Opinion of Counsel is reasonably necessary.

(m)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.18 or Section 3.08, but subject to any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer may, without any Directing Certificateholder approval, consent or consultation (except as otherwise provided below in the definition of Master Servicer Decision), Risk Retention Consultation Party consultation or the Special Servicer’s approval, consent or consultation (provided that the Master Servicer delivers notice thereof to the Special Servicer after completion (and the Master Servicer shall promptly, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and other than in respect of any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, deliver notice thereof to the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent that the Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder, as applicable, notifies the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder, as applicable, does not desire to receive copies of such items) take any of the following actions with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans (each such action, a “Master Servicer Decision”): (i) grant waivers of non-material covenant defaults (other than financial covenants and receipt of financial statements, but including immaterial timing waivers such as with respect to late financial statements); (ii) consents to releases of non-material, non-income producing parcels of a Mortgaged Property that do not materially affect the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan as and when due, provided that such releases are required by the related Mortgage Loan documents and there is no lender discretion permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents; (iii) approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way (including, without limitation for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose) or subordination of the lien of the Mortgage Loan to easements if the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with the proviso to the definition of “Special Servicer Decision”, that such easements or rights of way do not materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a Mortgagor’s ability to make payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan; (iv) grant subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements and consents involving leasing activities that do not involve a ground lease and affect an area less than or equal to the lesser of (a) 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property and (b) 30,000 square feet of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property), including approval of new leases and amendments to current leases; (v) consent to actions and releases related to condemnation of parcels of a Mortgaged Property if the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with the proviso to the definition of “Special Servicer Decision”, that such condemnation is not with respect to a material parcel or a material income producing parcel and such condemnation does not materially affect the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan when due; (vi) consent to a change in property management relating to any Mortgage Loan if the replacement property manager is not

-266-

to constitute a Routine Disbursement, and shall instead constitute Special Servicer Decisions, except for the routine funding of tax payments and insurance premiums when due and payable; and (xv) grant or agree to any other waiver, modification, amendment and/or consent that does not constitute a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision; provided that (w) any such action would not in any way affect a payment term of the Certificates, (x) any such action would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Trust to the extent not reimbursed or paid by the related Mortgagor), to the extent requesting such opinion is consistent with the Servicing Standard), (y) agreeing to such action would be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (z) agreeing to such action would not violate the terms, provisions or limitations of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement; provided, further, that, in the case of any Master Servicer Decision that requires the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, such consent shall be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided within 10 Business Days after receipt of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the Master Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent. The foregoing is intended to be an itemization of actions the Master Servicer may take without having to obtain the approval of any other party and is not intended to limit the responsibilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.

(n)Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify any Mortgage Loan into an AB Modified Loan unless the documents evidencing such modification provide that all payments on the junior or “B” portion of such AB Modified Loan (including interest, principal and other amounts) shall only be payable after the point in time at which all interest and principal on the senior or “A” portion of such AB Modified Loan shall have been paid in full and such senior or “A” portion shall no longer be outstanding; provided, however, that interest and other amounts in respect of such junior or “B” portion may accrue prior to such point in time.

Agreement; provided that this statement shall not be construed to require the Master Servicer to produce any additional reports.

(d)No later than sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan (the “Initial Delivery Date”), the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if applicable, and the related Mortgaged Property to the Directing Certificateholder or the AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder, as applicable. Subsequent to the issuance of a Final Asset Status Report to the extent that during the course of the resolution of such Specially Serviced Loan material changes in the strategy reflected in the initial Final Asset Status Report (or subsequent Final Asset Status Reports) are necessary to reflect the then-current circumstances and recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall prepare one or more additional Asset Status Reports with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan (each such report a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”). The Special Servicer shall deliver each Asset Status Report in electronic form to the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (but with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, only in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than (A) any Excluded Loan as to such party or (B) any Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence of an AB Control Appraisal Period, and in any event prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (but only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party), the Operating Advisor (but, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event and, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only to the extent that it is subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) and, with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the related Companion Holder or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the applicable master servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold; the Special Servicer shall also deliver a summary of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall post the summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall not make any Asset Status Reports available to any Certificateholders on its website. None of the parties to this Agreement shall provide any Asset Status Report or any Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator. The Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor of whether any Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor is a Final Asset Status Report, which notification may be satisfied by (i) delivery of an Asset Status Report that is either signed by the Directing Certificateholder or the AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder, as applicable, or that otherwise includes an indication that such Asset Status Report is deemed approved due to the passage of any required consent or consultation time period or (ii) such other method as reasonably agreed to by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer. Further, the Certificate Administrator shall not request any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report from the Master Servicer. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable based on

-269-

the information that was delivered to the Special Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing pursuant to the Servicing Transfer Event:

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

(ii)a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(x)such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.

-270-

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

-271-

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

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

If an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, if both an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing and an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect), the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)). Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor’s review of a Final Asset Status Report shall only provide background information to support the Operating Advisor’s duties concerning the Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor shall not provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of such Final Asset Status Report. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider on a non-binding basis such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (in each case, if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such

-272-

Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)). Upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued). The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”.

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

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

-273-

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

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

(f)Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) a draft notice that will include a draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which briefly summarizes such Final Asset Status Report, but shall not include any Privileged Information) (and shall deliver each Asset Status Report with respect to a Serviced AB Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and during an AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan, to the Directing Certificateholder). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such draft summary, the Directing Certificateholder approves of, or does not disapprove of such draft summary, then the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b). If the Directing Certificateholder affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder approves such draft summary; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved of the draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the Special Servicer prior to such twentieth (20th) Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any time the Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Certificateholder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) notwithstanding such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall

-274-

promptly deliver (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following its completion) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor. The Special Servicer shall prepare a summary of any Final Asset Status Report related to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the related holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, which Final Asset Status Report has been approved or deemed approved by the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement requires such approval or deemed approval), and deliver in electronic format notice of such Final Asset Status Report and the summary of such Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b).

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

Section 3.20Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a)  The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g)); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (other than the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that enters into such Sub-Servicing Agreement) any successor master servicer or successor special servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust except through the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, if and only to the extent provided pursuant to Section 6.04; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan; (vii) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to take any action constituting a Major Decision without the consent of the Master Servicer or the

-275-

Special Servicer, as applicable (which consent shall not be granted except in accordance with Section 6.08); (viii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party; (ix) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor under ARTICLE XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the applicable master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under ARTICLE XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to; and (x) provides that such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminable if at any time the related Sub-Servicer is Risk Retention Affiliated with a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2). Any successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the applicable predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (subject to Section 3.20(g)). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed

-276-

to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee and the Depositor (and the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

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

(c)As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each of its Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of ARTICLE XI. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it pursuant to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

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

(e)Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20, except to the extent provided in ARTICLE XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the case of the Limited Sub-Servicing Agreement, dated the Closing Date, between the Master Servicer and Berkeley Point Capital LLC, in the event such agreement is terminated, the Master Servicer shall continue to pay to Berkeley Point Capital LLC the servicing fees that would have been due to Berkeley Point Capital LLC under such agreement

-277-

(with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans) as though such agreement remained in full force and effect; provided that such servicing fees shall be paid solely out of the Servicing Fee and only for so long as the Master Servicer receives a Servicing Fee pursuant to this Agreement.

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

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

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

(i)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement that provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

(j)Except with respect to the Special Servicer, no party shall enter into a sub-servicing agreement with a Sub-Servicer that is a Risk Retention Affiliate of a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer would be a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties to this Agreement, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, may conclusively rely upon a representation of any Initial Sub-

-278-

Servicer that such Sub-Servicer is not, to its actual knowledge, a Risk Retention Affiliate of a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser. Except with respect to the Special Servicer, if at any time a party to this Agreement obtains actual knowledge that such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB and is a Risk Retention Affiliate of a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser, such party shall terminate such Sub-Servicer in accordance with the Sub-Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.21Interest Reserve Account.

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

(b)On each P&I Advance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw, from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit such amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

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

Section 3.23Controlling Class Certificateholders, Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party; Certain Rights and Powers of Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. (a)  Each Controlling Class Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the transfer of any Certificate of a Controlling Class by delivering a notice to each such Person substantially in the form of Exhibit MM attached hereto, the selection of a Directing Certificateholder or the resignation or removal thereof. The Directing Certificateholder (other than any Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a

-279-

Certificate to notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor when such Certificateholder is appointed Directing Certificateholder and when it is removed or resigns. To the extent there is only one Controlling Class Certificateholder and it is also the Special Servicer, it shall be the Directing Certificateholder.

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

On the Closing Date, the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(b)Once a Directing Certificateholder has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Controlling Class Certificateholders entitled to appoint the Directing Certificateholder, by Certificate Balance, or the Directing Certificateholder shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Controlling Class Certificateholder, in writing, of the resignation of the Directing Certificateholder or the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor receives written notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders that a Directing Certificateholder is no longer designated and (ii) the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or a representative thereof) becomes the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the proviso of the definition of “Directing Certificateholder”, then the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) shall provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Directing Certificateholder; provided that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the written notification provided by the purported Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class without independently verifying that such Controlling Class Certificateholder actually owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class. The foregoing provisions shall not be applicable to the Directing Certificateholder that is a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder. Additionally, once a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the

-280-

Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Holders of the VRR Interest entitled to appoint the Risk Retention Consultation Party, by Certificate Balance, or such Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Holder of the VRR Interest, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

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

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

(e)Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Register, including names and addresses. In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) RREF IV-D UBSCM 2019-C18 MOA-HRR, LLC, shall be the initial Directing Certificateholder (but not a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing and (b) RREF IV-D UBSCM 2019-C18 MOA, LLC shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing.

Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the preceding sentence with respect to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder and Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(f)If the Certificate Administrator determines that a Class of Book-Entry Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related

-281-

Certificateholders of such Class (through the Depository) of the Class becoming the Controlling Class.

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

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

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

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

-282-

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

(k)The Certificate Registrar shall determine which Class of Certificates is the then-current Controlling Class within two (2) Business Days of a request from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, or any Certificateholder and provide such information to the requesting party.

(l)At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the Holder of a majority of the Class G Certificates and the Class G Certificates are the Controlling Class, it may waive its right (a) to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and (b) to exercise any of the Directing Certificateholder’s rights under this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall be via e-mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in existence solely as a result of the operation of clause (ii) of the definition of Control Termination Event and clause (ii) of the definition of Consultation Termination Event, such Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to no longer be in existence and have not occurred with respect to any unaffiliated third party to whom the Controlling Class Certificateholder that irrevocably waived its right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder has sold or transferred all or a portion of its interest in the Class G Certificates if such unaffiliated third party holds the majority of the Controlling Class after giving effect to such transfer (the “Non-Waiving Successor”). Following any such sale or transfer, the Non-Waiving Successor shall again have the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Directing Certificateholder or cause the exercise of the rights of the Directing Certificateholder) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Controlling Class Certificateholder. The Non-Waiving Successor shall also have the right to irrevocably waive its right to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder. The Non-Waiving Successor shall also have the right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder. No Non-Waiving Successor described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the sale or transfer of the Class G Certificates to the Non-Waiving Successor and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such sale or transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

(m)Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include on its statement made available pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement the identity of the new Controlling Class and (ii) provide to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor notice of such event and the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from DTC being an expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of (i) any Control Termination Event, (ii) any

-283-

Consultation Termination Event or (iii) any Operating Advisor Consultation Event. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Control Termination Event, a Consultation Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred or is terminated, the Certificate Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days, post a “special notice” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this provision.

In the event that a Control Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class G Certificates to less than 25% of the aggregate Original Certificate Balance thereof, with regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, such special notice shall state “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class G Certificates to less than 25% of the aggregate Original Certificate Balance thereof, without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

In the event that a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of each of such terms, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by the applicable Controlling Class Certificateholder of its rights as Controlling Class Certificateholder.”

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

In the event of any transfer of a Class G Certificate, and upon notice to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit MM that results in a termination of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event, such “special notice” shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event or a Control Termination Event has been terminated and is no longer in effect due to a transfer of a majority interest of the Controlling Class Certificates to an unaffiliated third party which has terminated any waiver by the prior Holder.”

The Directing Certificateholder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to either the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class. Likewise, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to either such Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Holder of the majority of the VRR Interest. In either such case, in respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to an Excluded Loan.

Section 3.24Intercreditor Agreements. (a)  The Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledge and agree that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan, and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer agrees not to take any action with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, or the related Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, to the extent that the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, is required or permitted to consent to such action. Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Companion Holder and each mezzanine lender or its respective designee has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided for therein. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer further acknowledge and agree that any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent provided for herein and in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

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

-285-

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

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

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be required (1) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and (2) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class

-286-

Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

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

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

(h)With respect to the Serviced AB Whole Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Directing Certificateholder hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Subordinate Companion Holder or its representative or is exercisable in conjunction with the related Subordinate Companion Holder, then the Directing Certificateholder shall not be permitted to exercise such right. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall consult with, seek the approval of, or obtain the consent of the Subordinate Companion Holder or its representative with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of or consultation with such Subordinate Companion Holder or its representative without such consent or consultation (or deemed consent or consultation). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver information, reports and notices to the Subordinate Companion Holder or its representative as and to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement; provided that if such Subordinate Companion Holder is a Borrower Party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, then such Subordinate Companion Holder shall not be entitled to receive any information that would constitute Excluded Information if such AB Whole Loan were an Excluded Controlling Class Loan. Each of the

-287-

Master Servicer and the Special Servicer further acknowledges and agrees that any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right to exercise the rights of the Directing Certificateholder under this Agreement to the extent provided for in, and subject to the terms of, the related Intercreditor Agreement.

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

Section 3.25Rating Agency Confirmation. (a)  Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again. The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the RAC Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such RAC Requesting Party may, but shall not be obligated to send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.10(d).

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a CMBS transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns with respect to the applicable replacement

-288-

master servicer or special servicer as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the replacement master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the replacement special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency, or (iii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns with respect to the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction and serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency.

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

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

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

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

Section 3.26The Operating Advisor. (a)  The Operating Advisor shall review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans (other than a

The Operating Advisor shall perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard. Furthermore, the Operating Advisor will have no obligation or responsibility at any time to review or assess the actions of the Master Servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor will not be required to consider such Master Servicer actions in connection with any Operating Advisor Annual Report.

(b)The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report), subject to any Privileged Information Exemption, law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

(c)(i) Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of (i) any assessment of compliance report, attestation report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year, (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, any related Final Asset Status Report or approved or deemed approved Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the Operating Advisor with respect to any Mortgage Loan, and (iii) after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Report and any Major Decision Reporting Package, the Operating Advisor shall ((i) if any Mortgage Loans (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan) were Specially Serviced Loans at any time during the prior calendar year and a Final Asset Status Report was delivered to the Operating Advisor or (ii) if the Operating Advisor was entitled to consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any Major Decision) deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of such prior calendar year, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Specially

-290-

Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on Non-Specially Serviced Loans) during the prior calendar year on an Asset-Level Basis and identifying (1) which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply and (2) any material deviations from the Special Servicer’s obligations hereunder with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan); provided, further, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the special servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to each Excluded Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) serviced by such Excluded Special Servicer. In preparing any Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to (i) report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial or (ii) provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance in respect of such Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(c), each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the Special Servicer.

(ii)In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely

-291-

on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance hereunder. In the event a lack of access to Privileged Information limits or prohibits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall set forth any such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information.

(d)[RESERVED].

(e) (i) With respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, and with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event and an AB Control Appraisal Period, after the calculation has been finalized (and, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer) of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and review for accuracy and consistency with this Agreement the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

(ii)In connection with this Section 3.26(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer), Collateral Deficiency Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or, solely with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply and shall provide such parties prompt written notice of its determination.

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consultation duties of the Operating Advisor set forth in this Agreement shall not be permitted to be exercised by the Operating Advisor with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) and a related AB Control Appraisal Period.

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor’s review will be limited to an after-the-action review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the Operating Advisor), and, therefore, it shall have no involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, insurance policies, mortgagor substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions or other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement and will have no obligations at any time (other than in limited circumstances) with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. In addition, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of net present value calculations, Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts as required in Section 3.26(e) above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation shall not take into account the reasonableness of Special Servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

(g)       The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace the Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and other than any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to Other Securitizations that involve the same parties or borrower involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the Operating Advisor gained from performing operating advisor functions for such Other

-293-

Securitizations shall not be imputed to the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor.

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

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

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

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates has not been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such Certificates, only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision that are consistent with the efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, would use to collect any fee owed to it (taking into account whether such fee is required to be paid by a Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents), but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the

-294-

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or consultation rights in its capacity as operating advisor with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property, (ii) any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both an AB Control Appraisal Period and a Control Termination Event or (iii) any Servicing Shift Whole Loan; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

(j)        After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor), (ii) payment by such requesting Holders to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmations will be obtained by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of such Holders and will not constitute an additional expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), the Trustee shall immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)) by prior written notice to the Operating Advisor, and the proposed successor operating advisor will be appointed.

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

-295-

to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Depositor, the Directing Certificateholder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Risk Retention Consultation Party, any Companion Holder and the Certificateholders.

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

(m)       Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Operating Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.26; provided, further, that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

(n)       The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. If no successor operating advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within thirty (30) days after the notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

(o)       [RESERVED.]

-296-

(p)       In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.26(i) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

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

(r)        Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the Operating Advisor or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Operating Advisor if the Operating Advisor and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Operating Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

(s)        The Operating Advisor shall at all times be an Eligible Operating Advisor and if the Operating Advisor ceases to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign under Section 3.26(n) of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor operating advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.26. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor operating advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement.

(t)        The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties and obligations to agents or subcontractors to the extent such agents or subcontractors satisfy clauses (c), (d) and (f) of the definition of “Eligible Operating Advisor” and so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement related to the Operating Advisor’s duties and obligations; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with a Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Operating Advisor shall remain obligated and primarily liable for its obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement

-297-

without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Operating Advisor alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Operating Advisor by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(u)       With respect to the determination of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, the Operating Advisor is entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof pursuant to Section 3.23(m), and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor that are performed only after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event.

Section 3.27     Companion Paying Agent. (a) With respect to each of the Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer shall be the Companion Paying Agent hereunder. The Companion Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(b)       No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Companion Paying Agent from liability for its negligent failure to act, bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that the duties and obligations of the Companion Paying Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Companion Paying Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Companion Paying Agent. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth and correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instrument furnished to the Companion Paying Agent by any Person and which on their face do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement.

(c)       In the case of each of the Serviced Companion Loans, upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to ARTICLE VII of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, as the Companion Paying Agent, shall be deemed simultaneously to resign or be removed.

(d)       This Section 3.27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Companion Paying Agent, as regards to rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal.

Section 3.28     Serviced Companion Noteholder Register. The Companion Paying Agent shall maintain a register (the “Serviced Companion Noteholder Register”) with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan on which it will record the names and address of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Serviced Companion Noteholders from time to time, to the extent

(b)       If any of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that the Master Servicer is no longer an “approved” master servicer by any of the Rating Agencies rating the Certificates, then the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify each Non-Serviced Master Servicer of the same.

Section 3.32     Litigation Control.

(a)       With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any Serviced Companion Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO Property, the Special Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, or other obligor on the related Note or any Affiliates thereof (each a “Borrower-Related Party”) against the Trust, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer or any predecessor master servicer or special servicer, and

-302-

represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating to the rights and obligations of the Trust, or of the Mortgagor or other Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), or otherwise with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Trust-Related Litigation”). In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Trust-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Trust-Related Litigation (regardless of whether the Trust is named in such Trust-Related Litigation), the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of such Trust-Related Litigation. The Operating Advisor shall not be required to review the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Trust Related Litigation unless such review is otherwise related to the performance of the Operating Advisor’s duties, rights and obligations in respect of a Final Asset Status Report and/or Asset Status Report.

(b)       To the extent the Master Servicer is named in the Trust-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding Section 3.32(a), the Master Servicer shall (i) provide monthly status reports to the Special Servicer, regarding such Trust-Related Litigation; (ii) seek to have the Trust replace the Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so long as the Master Servicer remains a party to the lawsuit, consult with and act at the direction of the Special Servicer with respect to decisions and resolutions related to the interests of the Trust in such Trust-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel; provided that the Master Servicer shall have the right to engage separate counsel relating to claims against the Master Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.32(e); and provided, however, that if there are claims against the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer has not determined that separate counsel is required for such claims, such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer.

(c)       The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake (or direct the Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of any Trust-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Trust-Related Litigation unless and until (A) it has notified in writing the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) (to the extent the identity of the Directing Certificateholder is actually known to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator as to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder) and the related holder of any Serviced Companion Loan (if such matter affects such related Serviced Companion Loan) (to the extent the identity of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is actually known to the Special Servicer), and (B) the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class and prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Control Termination Event) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing Certificateholder has reasonably requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such five (5) Business Day period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved the

-303-

taking of such action); provided that, if the Special Servicer determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response.

(d)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (or any other party to this Agreement) that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or any Grantor Trust created hereunder to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes or result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s or the Master Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities under this Agreement.

(e)       Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer to represent the interests of the Trust in Trust-Related Litigation, and subject to the rights of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer’s actions in this Section 3.32, the Master Servicer shall retain the right to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf in the Master Servicer’s reasonable discretion, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

(f)        Further, nothing in this section shall require the Master Servicer to take or fail to take any action which, in the Master Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, may (i) result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions or (ii) subject the Master Servicer to liability or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(g)       Notwithstanding the Master Servicer’s right to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall have the right at any time in accordance with the Servicing Standard to (i) direct the Master Servicer to settle any claims asserted against the Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation) (and with respect to any material settlements, with the consent of or in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, respectively (in each case, other than a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party)) and (ii) otherwise reasonably direct the actions of the Master Servicer relating to claims against the Master Servicer (whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or Trust-Related Litigation), provided in either case that (A) such settlement or other direction does not require any admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Master Servicer, (B) the cost of such settlement or

-304-

any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (C) the Master Servicer is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses of the Master Servicer incurred in defending and settling the Trust-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (D) any such action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (E) the Special Servicer provides the Master Servicer with assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer as to the items in clauses (A), (B) and (C).

(h)       In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or Trust are named in Trust-Related Litigation, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.32.

This Section 3.32 shall not apply in the event the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Trust-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, (A) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee to grant such consent); and (iii) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.32(h) shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Trust-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, respectively, to the extent required in Section 3.32(b) and only to the extent such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trustee of the Trust.

-305-

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section 3.32, this Section 3.32 shall not apply to any Trust-Related Litigation and shall have no force and effect with respect thereto, in the event that either (i) at the time such Trust-Related Litigation is commenced or at any time during the continuance of such Trust-Related Litigation, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (or any Affiliate or successor in interest) is no longer the Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan or has received notice of its replacement as Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan whether or not such replacement is effective or (ii) the Depositor, any Sponsor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, or any of their respective affiliates is an adverse party (with respect to the Trust or the Special Servicer) to such Trust Related Litigation or holds any interest which is adverse to the Trust or the Special Servicer in the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan (or any portion thereof) or the related Mortgaged Property to which Trust Related Litigation relates, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by each of the Depositor, Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial Purchaser, or affiliate that is such a party or holds such interest. In each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above, the applicable party listed above shall use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such occurrence to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to any Trust-Related Litigation shall be limited solely to the representation of the Trust and itself, separate and apart from the interests of any other party thereto. For the further avoidance of doubt, in such circumstance described in this paragraph, the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to litigation shall be as otherwise set forth with respect to servicing in this Agreement.

Section 3.33     Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator. Any Excluded Information that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via e-mail (or such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Information” followed by the applicable loan name and loan file to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com. For the avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.33 shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any information appropriately labeled and delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.33 shall be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website under the “Excluded Information” section, as provided under Section 3.13. When so posted, the Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.33 until such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1E to this Agreement. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not

-306-

available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to reasonably request to obtain such information in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement, and each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may require and rely on such certifications and other reasonable information prior to releasing such information.

(xxviii) twenty-eighth, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest, the amount, if any, of the Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account with respect to such Distribution Date.

If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator has reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to DTC based on the receipt of payments as of the Determination Date and additional Periodic Payments, balloon payments or unscheduled principal payments are subsequently received by the Master Servicer and required to be part of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause DTC to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders solely on the basis of the actions described in the preceding sentence.

(b)       [RESERVED].

(c)       On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses in an

-311-

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

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Related Certificates with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses, as provided in Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(c). The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The Pass-Through Rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest for any Distribution Date shall be the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

(e)       Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date that represent Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges received by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan during the related Collection Period, in each case net of any Liquidation Fees or Workout Fees payable therefrom, shall be distributable as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any particular Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date

-312-

corresponding to that Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator shall pay that Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium in the following manner: (i) to each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates, the product of (A) such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (B) the related Base Interest Fraction for such Class of Certificates, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Certificates for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to such Classes of Principal Balance Certificates for that Distribution Date, (ii) to the Class X-A Certificates, the excess, if any, of (A) the product of (I) such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates for that Distribution Date, over (B) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates as described above, and (iii) to the Class X-B Certificates, any remaining portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium.

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

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519)

-313-

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

No Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium shall be distributed to the Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class F, Class G, Class NR-RR, Class Z or Class R Certificates. After the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero, all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Class X-B Certificates.

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

(f)        On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine in accordance with the definition of Gain-on-Sale Entitlement Amounts if there will be any shortfalls in interest or principal to any Class of Regular Certificates that would occur on such Distribution Date without the inclusion of the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount in the definition of “Available Funds” and shall remit the lesser of the Gain-on-Sale Entitlement Amount and all amounts on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account to the Collection Account to be included as part of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future shortfalls and Realized Losses, including interest thereon, with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related Realized Losses in each case allocable to the Regular Certificates on subsequent Distribution Dates. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

(g)       All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 4.01(h), 4.01(i) and 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related

-314-

Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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

(h)       Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:

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

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

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, such to applicable law with respect to

-315-

escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

(i)        Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to the Regular Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), or Section 4.01(d), as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.05 at such last address. The amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(h) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.

(j)        On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related Collection Period with respect to any ARD Loans shall be distributed to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates from the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Excess Interest will not be available to pay any other amounts except for distributions on Excess Interest Certificates.

(k)       On each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Companion Paying Agent shall make withdrawals and payments from the Companion Distribution Account for each Companion Loan in the following order of priority:

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

(ii)       to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement and not otherwise previously reimbursed, to pay the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or any of their directors, officers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable or reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section 8.05, to the extent any such amounts relate solely to a Serviced Whole Loan related to such Companion Loan, and such amounts are to be paid by the related Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement;

-316-

(iii)      to pay all amounts remaining in the Companion Distribution Account related to such Serviced Companion Loan to the related Companion Holder, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement; and

(iv)      to clear and terminate the Companion Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

All distributions from the Companion Distribution Account required hereunder shall be made by the Companion Paying Agent to the related Companion Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date (and on each additional date required by this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the account of such Companion Holder or an agent therefor appearing on the Serviced Companion Noteholder Register on the related Record Date (or, if no such account so appears or information relating thereto is not provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check sent by first class mail to the address of such Companion Holder or its agent appearing on the Serviced Companion Noteholder Register). Any such account shall be located at a commercial bank in the United States.

On the final Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Certificate Administrator who shall distribute to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Loss of Value Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and that were transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Collection Account on the immediately preceding Remittance Date.

Section 4.02     Distribution Date Statements; CREFC^® Investor Reporting Packages; Grant of Power of Attorney. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall make available pursuant to Section 3.13(b) on the Certificate Administrator’s Website to any Privileged Person a statement (substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit G hereto and based in part upon information supplied to the Certificate Administrator in the related CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package in accordance with CREFC^® guidelines) as to the distributions made on such Distribution Date (each, a “Distribution Date Statement”) which shall include:

-320-

Certificate Administrator deems necessary or desirable, or that a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner reasonably requests, to enable Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year. Such obligation of the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Upon receipt of an Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer required to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include such Asset Review Report Summary in Item 1B on the Form 10-D for such period in which such Asset Review Report Summary was delivered, and (ii) post such Asset Review Report Summary to the Certificate Administrator’s Website not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(b)       [RESERVED].

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

The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be

-321-

provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Distribution Date Statement required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04.

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

(d)       Upon the written request of a Certificateholder, any beneficial owner of a Certificate, or any prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is designated by a Certificateholder or a beneficial owner of a Certificate as such and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as soon as reasonably practicable, at the expense of the requesting party, the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the requesting party such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such person, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

(e)       The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(f)        Upon the reasonable request of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder that, in either case, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan identified to the Master Servicer’s (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer’s (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall

-322-

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

Section 4.03     P&I Advances. (a) On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time,

-323-

on the related P&I Advance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC^® on such Distribution Date.

If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan with a related Serviced Companion Loan, then it shall provide to the related other master servicer and Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, then it shall provide to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

(b)       Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date, and each Mortgage Loan, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Non-Serviced Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on the Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and were not received as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to Section 4.03(c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan), shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination that a P&I Advance that has been made on such Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Other Servicer or Other Trustee, as the case may be, under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect of the related Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan,

-324-

if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Other Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Other Servicer, as the case may be, that an Other Servicer or the Other Trustee has determined, in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Other Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that a P&I Advance that has been made on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined, or the Non-Serviced Trustee has determined, in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in

-325-

either case, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

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

(e)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Excess Interest, Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums, or Balloon Payments or make any P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an “appraisal reduction amount” (or similar item) has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the Master Servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) then in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this clause 4.03(e)(ii), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.

-326-

Section 4.04     Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the applicable Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in sequential order according to the priority of payments for the Principal Balance Certificates (and in the case of the Principal Balance Certificates that are Senior Certificates, on a pro rata basis according to the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses on such Classes), in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.

(b)       (i) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write-off shall be allocated in Reverse Sequential Order.

(ii)       [RESERVED].

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

Section 4.05     Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) shall be allocated to each Class of Principal Balance Certificates solely to the extent of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, respectively, in Reverse Sequential Order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero.

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount

-327-

determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the Special Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly obtain from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Special Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Special Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Special Servicer thereof. Upon reasonable prior written request, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to an AB Modified Loan will be allocated to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates in Reverse Sequential Order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each until such Class of Control Eligible Certificates is reduced to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which shall constitute the applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with this Section 4.05(a), but only to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

With respect to (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or Operating Advisor and (ii) any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as is” basis.

The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, to the extent it receives such information, of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which notification shall be satisfied through delivery of such Appraisal Reduction Amount as included in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package with respect to the Collateral Deficiency Amount and the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount) and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post

-328-

notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder and the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m) (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository being an expense of the Trust).

(b)       (i) The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class because it has been reduced to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as applicable) in respect of such Class shall have the right and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the Other Special Servicer or Other Master Servicer shall have the right upon the request of similarly situated holders of certificates in the related Other Securitization (such holders an “Other Appraised-Out Class”), at such Appraised- Out Class’s or such Other Appraised-Out Class’s, as applicable, sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the Master Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Appraisal to be (i) delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and (ii) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal). With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer and to forward such second appraisal to the Special Servicer.

(ii)       Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and any information received from the Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and the Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable. The Holders of any Appraised-Out Class shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a

-329-

supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”).

(c)       With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of the occurrence or of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or, solely with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template format; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Following the Master Servicer’s receipt from the Special Servicer of the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Certificate Administrator in the form of the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File and the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template provided to it by the Special Servicer or such other report or reports mutually agreed upon between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator will calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount and the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report of the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other

-330-

Securitization, to the Other Servicer and Other Trustee of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and unless the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Loan as to such party), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation.

The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount or any Collateral Deficiency Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor; provided that the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

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

(e)       Each Serviced Whole Loan will be treated as a single Mortgage Loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan(s) that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction

-331-

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

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

(b)       As of the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC and Hare & Co. are the only “middlemen” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of the other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that the notice pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.

(c)       The Certificate Administrator shall report required WHFIT information using the accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method.

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

(e)       To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIP for the Class Z Certificates. The CUSIP so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent such CUSIP has been received. Absent the receipt of such CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

The “Investor Q&A Forum” shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders and beneficial owners of Certificates that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (A) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statement, (B) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to Sections 3.13(b) and Section 3.13(d), the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the related Mortgaged Properties or (C) the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Report or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor or actions by the Special Servicer referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report (each an “Inquiry” and collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: REAM_InvestorRelations@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the

-333-

Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) that answering the inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional costs or expenses to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Underwriters, Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer or any of their respective Affiliates will certify as to the accuracy of any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be

-334-

required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require the Operating Advisor to provide information to such inquiring Certificateholders that they are otherwise not entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Certificate Owner that is a Privileged Person, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry shall certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder or a Certificate Owner and a Privileged Person and (b) it grants authorization to the Certificate Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least forty-five (45) days from the date of such certification to persons entitled to access to the Investor Registry. Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and e-mail address, as well as certain optional fields such as address, phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned. If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within forty-five (45) days of its registration), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry. The Certificate Administrator will not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor Registry, or for monitoring or otherwise maintaining the accuracy of any information thereon. The Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Registry.

(c)       The 17g-5 Information Provider shall make available, only to NRSROs, the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The “Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool” shall be a service available on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, where NRSROs may (i) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to any Distribution Date Statements, or submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, relating to the reports prepared by such parties (each such submission, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”), and (ii) view Rating Agency Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the responses thereto. In addition, NRSROs may use the forum to submit requests (each such submission also, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”) to the Master Servicer for loan-level reports and other related information. Upon receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry for the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall forward the Rating Agency Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: RAInvRequests@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry from the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, unless it determines not to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry as provided below, shall reply by e-mail to the Certificate Administrator. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of such response) such Rating Agency Inquiry with the related response thereto (or such reports, as applicable) to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. Any reports posted by the 17g-5 Information Provider in response to an inquiry may be posted on a separate website or web page accessible by a link on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole

-335-

discretion, that (i) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by e-mail of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall not be liable for the failure by any other such Person to so answer. Questions posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool shall not be attributed to the submitting NRSRO. Answers posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any other person. None of the Underwriters, the Depositor, or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information posted in the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information.

Upon receipt thereof, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upload the contents of each Diligence File actually received by it to the Secure Data Room. Access to the Secure Data Room shall be granted by the Certificate Administrator to (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) any other Person at the direction of the Depositor, in each case, upon the occurrence of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote and receipt by the Certificate Administrator of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit QQ hereto (which shall be sent via e-mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s website).

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether the type, number or contents of any

-336-

Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates to the transaction or confirm that all documents and information constituting any Diligence File have actually been delivered to the Certificate Administrator. In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of, or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document or information is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document or information from the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation to produce physical or electronic copies of any document or information provided to it for posting to the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or held liable for any other Person’s use or dissemination of the documents or information contained on the Secure Data Room; provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Following the date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust, the Special Servicer may direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room.

The Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of

-337-

The Class X-D, Class X-F and Class X-G Certificates will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Notional Amount of not less than $250,000 and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

The Non-Registered Certificates (other than any Class X Certificates and other than the Class R Certificates) will be issuable in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. If the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class of Certificates does not equal an integral multiple of $1.00, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of (i) the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Class over (ii) the largest integral multiple of $1.00 that does not exceed such amount.

(b)       One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Registrar by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Registrar countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

Section 5.02     Form and Registration. No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or by the Initial Purchasers to RREF IV-D UBSCM 2019-C18 MOA-HRR, LLC) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then either:

(a)       Each Class of the Non-Registered Certificates sold to institutions that are non-United States Securities Persons in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary book-entry certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Non-Registered Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the

-338-

offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.

(b)       Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than any Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest during the Transfer Restriction Period) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”) shall be represented by Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

(c)       Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates that are initially offered and sold to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers and the Class R Certificates (the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar in the name of such investors or their nominees who have provided the Certificate Registrar with an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C, and the Certificate Registrar shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners. For the

-339-

avoidance of doubt, the Class Z and Class R Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates, and the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest shall be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates at all times during the Transfer Restriction Period.

(d)       Owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Book-Entry Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

(e)       From and after the Closing Date and during the Transfer Restriction Period, the Risk Retention Certificates and any VRR Interest shall only be held as Definitive Certificates and shall be held in the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account or Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, as applicable, by the Certificate Administrator (and each Retaining Party’s respective interest shall be tracked in the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust accounting system under the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account or Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, as applicable), for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Certificate Administrator shall hold each Certificate evidencing the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of written instructions from the holder of the Risk Retention Certificates or the VRR Interest and the Retaining Sponsor subject to Section 5.03(i) of the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period or of the HRR Retaining Party’s intent to transfer pursuant to Section 5.03(i),

-340-

in each case, and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and in accordance with this Agreement. After the release of any Risk Retention Certificate or the VRR Interest, the Certificate Administrator shall have no liability (other than liability for acts or omissions that occurred prior to such release) or obligation with respect to such Risk Retention Certificate and Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account, or VRR Interest and Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, as applicable. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator accounts which will be designated the “Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account” and the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account” into which the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest, respectively, shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account and Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retaining Party. Such subaccounts shall be marked or evidenced as being for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Risk Retention Certificates and each Certificate evidencing the VRR Interest to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable to the holders of the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest shall be remitted to the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account or Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, as applicable, but shall be remitted directly to each Retaining Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately by each Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retaining Parties. During the Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the Retaining Parties may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificate representing the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to each of the Retaining Parties of such new location:

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
Attn: Security Control and Transfer (SCAT) – MAC N9345-010
425 E Hennepin Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55414

On the Closing Date, and upon completion of each transfer of the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest during the Transfer Restriction Period, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver written confirmation to the Depositor, the Retaining Sponsor and the Retaining Parties substantially in the form of Exhibit SS to this Agreement evidencing its receipt of the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest.

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to each Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and each respective Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Risk Retention Certificate or VRR interest shall be subject to Section 5.03(g), Section 5.03(i) Section 5.03(j) and, if applicable, Section 5.03(o).

Section 5.03     Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office books (the

-341-

“Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). In such capacities, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, (i) maintaining the Certificate Register and a record of the aggregate holdings of Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates represented by a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate and accepting Certificates for exchange and registration of transfer, (ii) holding the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest as Definitive Certificates on behalf of each Holder of such Certificates and providing notice to the Retaining Sponsor of any attempts to transfer any such Certificate and (iii) transmitting to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any notices from the Certificateholders. No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of Transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in this Section 5.03.

(b)       Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this ARTICLE V, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(c)       Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time during the Restricted Period to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and the name of such account and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit I hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Book-Entry Certificates and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be the agent member of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both) a beneficial interest in the Temporary

If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time following the Restricted Period to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange, or cause the exchange of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit J hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating (A) that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Book-Entry Certificates and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, or (B) that the transferee is otherwise entitled to hold its interest in the applicable Certificates in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, without any registration of such Certificates under the Act (in which case such certificate shall enclose an Opinion of Counsel to such effect and such other documents as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require), then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such exchange or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate that is being exchanged or transferred.

(e)       Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the

-343-

rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate (i) during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (ii) after the Restricted Period, an Investment Representation Letter in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (an “Investment Representation Letter”) and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate that is being transferred.

(f)        Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate as to which the Certificate Registrar has received from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate (a “Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification”) to the effect that Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or

-344-

certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

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

(h)       Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(c), Section 5.02(d), and subject to the issuance and transfer of the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest

-345-

during the Transfer Restriction Period in accordance with Section 5.03(i), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

(i)        Transfers of the Risk Retention Certificates and the VRR Interest. At all times, during the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of all or a portion of the Risk Retention Certificates or the VRR Interest after the Closing Date is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) each of the following sent to the Certificate Registrar and with a copy to each of the Retaining Sponsor and counsel at the addresses provided in Section 13.05: (A) a letter from the Holder of the Risk Retention Certificate or the VRR Interest instructing the Certificate Registrar of its intention to release such Risk Retention Certificate or VRR Interest from the Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account or the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, as applicable, and to transfer such Risk Retention Certificate or VRR Interest, (B) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (C) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (D) if such Risk Retention Certificate or VRR Interest will be in the possession of the Certificate Administrator after such transfer, a W-9 completed by the Transferee and (E) wire instructions and contact information of the Transferee. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e) and Section 5.03(a), facilitate the transfer of the Risk Retention Certificate or VRR Interest and reflect such Risk Retention Certificate or VRR Interest in the name of the prospective Transferee and shall deliver written confirmation to the prospective Transferee with a copy via e-mail to each of the Retaining Sponsor, the Depositor, the Transferor and counsel, of such transfer and the safekeeping of such Risk Retention Certificate or VRR Interest, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit SS to this Agreement evidencing that such Risk Retention Certificate or VRR Interest, as applicable, is registered in the name of the prospective Transferee. After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of the Risk Retention Certificates or VRR Interest is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt may conclusively rely upon) each of the following: (A) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3 and (B) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any portion of the Risk Retention Certificate or the VRR Interest be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period. After the Transfer Restriction Period, any portion of the Risk Retention Certificates or the VRR Interest may be transferred subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this ARTICLE V. Any transfer of an interest in the Risk Retention Certificates or the VRR Interest that is not in compliance with this Section 5.03 shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

(j)       In the event a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser seeks to cause the release or transfer of any Risk Retention Certificates from the Retained Certificate Safekeeping

-346-

Account, such Subsequent Third Party Purchaser will be required to simultaneously deliver to the Certificate Administrator, the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor (i) a written request for such release or transfer and (ii) a written request for the Retaining Sponsor’s consent to such release or transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-5. The Certificate Administrator may not consent to, or otherwise permit, any such release or transfer without obtaining the Retaining Sponsor’s countersigned request for consent.

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

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

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

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

(o)       With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to or by the Initial Purchasers or, with respect to the Risk Retention Certificates, a Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate acting as Retaining Sponsor) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not and will not be (A) an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan or Plans and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of

-347-

ERISA) to purchase such Certificate other than an insurance company using the assets of its “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60) under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company will be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, where the purchase, holding and disposition by such Plan will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of applicable Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become a Person specified in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(o) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

(p)       No Class R or Class Z Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan or Plans and the application of U.S. Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class R or Class Z Certificate. Each prospective transferee of a Class R or Class Z Certificate shall deliver to the transferor and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, stating that the prospective transferee is not and will not become a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan. Each Holder of a Class R or Class Z Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become a Person specified in the second preceding sentence. Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

(q)       Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)        Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is

-348-

not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(q) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

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

(iii)      Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an

-349-

agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(r)        The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

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

(t)        Each Certificate Owner of a Non-Registered Certificate shall be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows:

(i)        Such Certificate Owner (A)(i) is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (ii) is acquiring such Non-Registered Certificate for its own account or for the account of another Qualified Institutional Buyer, as the case may be, and (iii) is aware that the sale of the Non-Registered Certificates to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (B)(i)(except with respect to the Class R Certificates) is an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer and that is purchasing such Non-Registered Certificate for its own account or for the account of another Institutional Accredited Investor, and (ii) is not acquiring such Non-Registered Certificate with a view to any resale or distribution of such Non-Registered Certificate other than in accordance with the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.03(t), or (C) (except with respect to the Class R Certificates) is an institution that is not a United States Securities Person, and is purchasing such Non-Registered Certificate in an Offshore Transaction.

-350-

transferred except (A) to a person whom the purchaser reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (B) (except with respect to the Class R Certificates) to an institution that is a non-United States Securities Person in an Offshore Transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S, or (C) (except with respect to the Class R Certificates) to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and in each case, in accordance with any applicable federal securities laws and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

(iii)      Such Certificate Owner understands that, if the purchaser of a Non-Registered Certificate is not a Qualified Institution Buyer or a non-United States Securities Person, the Non-Registered Certificates purchased by such purchaser may not be transferred in book-entry form and may be transferred in physical form only in compliance with the restrictions in clause (ii)(C) above and no such transfer of the Non-Registered Certificates owned by such Certificate Owner will be permitted unless the purchaser provides an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C certifying that the transfer complies with such restrictions, as described in this Section 5.03(t).

(iv)      Such Certificate Owner is duly authorized to purchase the Non-Registered Certificates and its purchase of investments having the characteristics of the Non-Registered Certificate is authorized under, and not directly or indirectly in contravention of, any law, rule, regulation, charter, trust instrument or other operative document, investment guidelines or list of permissible or impermissible investments that is applicable to such Certificate Owner.

Section 5.04     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such

-351-

Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.

Section 5.05     Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).

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

(b)       (i) The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form 10-D any written request received in accordance with Section 11.04(a) prior to the Distribution Date to which the Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution Date) from a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to communicate with other

(a)       Any matter submitted to Certificateholders for a vote shall be announced in a notice prepared by the Certificate Administrator. Such notice shall include the record date determined by the Certificate Administrator for purposes of the vote and a voting deadline which shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is distributed. The notice and related ballot shall be sent to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates through the Depository and by mail to the registered Holders of Definitive Certificates. In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

-354-

Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

(b)       In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein.

Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder.

Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.10(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

(d)       Any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

(e)       If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of Certificateholders is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures. Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent of any of the foregoing shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law) or claim relating to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans, the Companion Loans or the Certificates (including any costs of enforcement of its indemnity), other than any loss, liability, damages, claims or unanticipated expense: (i) specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty made by it herein; (iii) incurred by

In addition, absent actual fraud (as determined by a final non-appealable court order), neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator (including in its capacity as Custodian, Certificate Registrar and 17g-5 Information Provider) shall be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. Each of the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor conclusively may rely on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement, agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format) as contemplated by and in accordance with this Agreement and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and each of them may consult with counsel, in which case any written advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel.

If any such expenses, costs or liabilities relate to a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, then any subsequent recovery on that Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, will be used to reimburse the Trust for any amounts advanced for the payment of such expenses, costs or liabilities. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor, the Master

-365-

Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loan on deposit in the Collection Account (including, without duplication, any subaccount thereof), as provided by Section 3.05(a)(xii).

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

Section 6.05     Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on each of them except

-369-

upon (a) determination that such party’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (b) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), and receipt by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25). Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder. Unless applicable law requires the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be) to be effective immediately, and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under clause (a) above shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 and no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall become effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Upon any termination (as described in Section 7.01(c)) or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pursuant to this Section 6.05, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right and opportunity to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer with respect to this Section 6.05; provided that, such successor master servicer or special servicer shall not be the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor or one of their respective Affiliates and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) such successor special servicer is approved by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The resigning party shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.

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

shall process such decision and such decision will be deemed to be a Master Servicer Decision not a Major Decision (provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall make any such determination and provide any such notice within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of a request related to any such decision; provided, further, that if the Special Servicer does not provide such notice within two (2) Business Days, such matter shall be a Major Decision and not a Master Servicer Decision); provided, however, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be); provided that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the Operating Advisor, if applicable) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer is required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any of the foregoing actions or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder (only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of a majority of the Controlling Class (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect thereof. Additionally, upon request, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on a non-binding basis ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in respect thereof. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 Business Days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage

-374-

Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with respect to such party) or Serviced Whole Loan. In addition, after an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within 10 Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of a majority of the Controlling Class (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major Decision” with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan.

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and except as provided in the next sentence, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. With respect to such request, the Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the Special Servicer by delivering any additional information in the Master Servicer’s possession to the Special Servicer reasonably requested by the Special Servicer relating to such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. Unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to process any Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision and shall not be required to interface with the Mortgagor or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision.

-375-

If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan that is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to obtain the Special Servicer’s prior consent to such Special Servicer Decision or such Major Decision; provided that in the event that the Special Servicer does not respond within 15 Business Days after receipt of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession that is reasonably requested by the Special Servicer, plus any time period provided to any Serviced Companion Noteholder under a related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer’s consent to such Special Servicer Decision or such Major Decision shall be deemed granted.

With respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision relating to a Specially Serviced Loan, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision relating to a Mortgage Loan (in each case, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party), the Special Servicer shall provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Major Decision to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, within the same time frame it is required to provide such notice, information or report to the Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Directing Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event).

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6.08(a) or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

-376-

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

With respect to any matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder is required, to the extent no specific time period for deemed consent is expressly stated, in the event no response from the Directing Certificateholder is received within ten (10) Business Days following written request for consent and its receipt of all reasonably requested information on any required consent, the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to or approved the specific matter; provided that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not affect any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Certificateholder (exclusive of a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, including the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, and that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

-377-

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to a Holder of a VRR Interest that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Holders of the VRR Interest or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Holders of the VRR Interest. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of a VRR Interest over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Holders of a VRR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the VRR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holder of the VRR Interest, and that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced PSA including the holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced PSA over other classes of the certificates issued under the Non-Serviced PSA and/or any Class of Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and that the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to a Directing Certificateholder), the Directing Certificateholder (other than any Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the

-378-

occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder and, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder), the Directing Certificateholder (other than any Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) shall have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder and, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party to the extent set forth herein in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor promptly after the Special Servicer receives the Directing Certificateholder’s approval or deemed approval of such Major Decision Reporting Package; provided, however, that with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan no Major Decision Reporting Package shall be required to be delivered (and the Special Servicer will use reasonable efforts not to deliver such Major Decision Reporting Package) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously with the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written request, as applicable, for the Operating Advisor’s input regarding the related Major Decision (which written request and Major Decision Reporting Package may be delivered in one notice), as set forth in this Section 6.08. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall make available to the Operating Advisor a servicing officer with the relevant knowledge regarding the Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.

In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision that it is processing (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the

-379-

Operating Advisor within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which initial request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor that is in possession of the Special Servicer, as applicable, related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Directing Certificateholder (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s or Operating Advisor’s right to consent or consult with respect to a Major Decision, as applicable, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that action is necessary to protect a Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders from potential harm if such action is not taken, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the applicable period for the Operating Advisor or Directing Certificateholder to respond as described in this section, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, as applicable.

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

Section 6.09     Knowledge of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting in any particular capacity hereunder will not be deemed to be imputed with knowledge of (a) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in a capacity that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in any other capacity hereunder, except, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), where some or all of the obligations performed in such capacities are performed by one or more employees within the same group or division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or where the groups or

From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise.

During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as the Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer to assume the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer shall occur and be continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, the Holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the Other Trustee appointed under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. Any Special Servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be (without the prior written consent of the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the person (or Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Any Special Servicer under this paragraph shall meet the eligibility requirements of Section 7.02 and the eligibility requirements of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the appointment thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.02. Any appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

(d)       Subject to the rights of the holder of a related AB Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling

-384-

Class, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d); provided that, with respect to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the ten (10) Business Days’ notice set forth in this Section 7.01(d) shall not apply to the related Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder’s right to terminate the Special Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without cause with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. Upon a termination of the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) shall appoint a successor special servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation and, in the case of any class of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies deliver a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. For the sake of clarity, the recommendation of replacement of the Special Servicer by the Operating Advisor and the approval of the Certificateholders of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement special servicer, provided that such replacement may not be the removed Special Servicer or its Affiliate.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.05) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction to assume the duties of the Special Servicer hereunder, (b) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and which will not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such Holders) and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard, which requisite affirmative votes shall be received within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio. Upon the written direction of

-385-

Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum of Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer to assume the duties of the Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholder’s direction to remove such Special Servicer shall not apply to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period or to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

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

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

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

-386-

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

If at any time the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (i) the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written report in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with any information the Operating Advisor considered relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a replacement Special Servicer (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer to assume the duties of the Special Servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which, for this purpose, is the Holders of Certificates that (A) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances of such Certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio, and (B) consist of at least three Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not Risk Retention Affiliated with each other) and (ii) receipt by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i) of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the Trustee shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor special servicer approved by the Certificateholders and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses

-387-

of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. In the event that the Trustee does not receive the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the quorum described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within 180 days of after the notice is posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of a Special Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement or with respect to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan. For the sake of clarity, the recommendation of replacement of the Special Servicer by the Operating Advisor and the approval of the Certificateholders of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement special servicer, provided that such replacement may not be the removed Special Servicer or its Affiliate.

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

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

(e)       The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii).

(f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer

-388-

shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

(g)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the related Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing Certificateholder shall select an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer but does not so appoint within 30 days of notice of such resignation, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The resigning Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer so long as, on the date of the appointment, the selected Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the Certificates and each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities makes the equivalent confirmation, (ii) the related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor and Other Certificate Administrator, the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the Special Servicer that had previously acted as the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) such original Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) such original Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

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

-389-

servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

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

Section 7.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to clause (a) of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor master servicer or special servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loans which that Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer,

-390-

as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) such appointment (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the non-terminated Master Servicer or the non-terminated Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor master servicer or special servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such

-391-

termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust. In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b)       Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after the Certificate Administrator would be deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section 8.02(vii), the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders (and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

Section 7.04     Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), (ii) or (viii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes, and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) of Section 7.01(a) (with respect to obligations under ARTICLE XI) may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, subject to the rights of any affected holder of a Serviced Companion Loan under Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(f), such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.

-392-

Section 7.05     Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by the Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR

Section 8.01     Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a) The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event and after the curing or waiving of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Termination Event occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator contained in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

(b)       The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (other than the Mortgage Files, the review of which is specifically governed by the terms of ARTICLE II, the Diligence Files, any CREFC^® reports and any information delivered for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website or the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate

-393-

Administrator shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or another Person, and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)       No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that:

-403-

Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

(c)       Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then-separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this ARTICLE VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.

Upon termination or resignation of the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator may appoint another Custodian meeting the foregoing requirements. The appointment of one or more Custodians by the Certificate Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any Custodian other than the initial Custodian. Any Custodian appointed hereunder must maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy in an amount customary for Custodians which serve in such capacity in commercial mortgage loan securitization transactions, or may self-insure.

Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer

-408-

outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. In the event that the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and Excess Interest Distribution Account on the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited into the related REO Account). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) on the applicable Distribution Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates and Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

The obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Paying Agent shall terminate with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent (i) its related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Trust Fund and (ii) no amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement remain due and owing.

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of

-409-

remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement. This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then-outstanding Certificates. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such P&I Advance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans as assets of the Trust and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.

For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, then the Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer and then the Holders of the Class R Certificates. For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Certificateholder with the consent of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.

Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(e) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in each case pursuant to Section 3.04(b) and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the Class of Certificates so presented, (ii) to Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates so presented, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, and (iii) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest or the Class UR Interest, as applicable. Amounts transferred from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date, shall be distributed in termination and liquidation of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest in accordance with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) and 4.01(f). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section 9.01 and Section 4.01(h).

Section 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01, the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, as applicable, shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, which meet the definition of a “qualified liquidation” in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code:

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

(ii)       during the 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the related Trust REMICs to the Master

-411-

Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, for cash; and

(iii)       within such 90-day liquidation period and immediately following the making of the final payment on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (in the case of the Lower-Tier REMIC) and in respect of the Class UR Interest (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC) all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust (if applicable) or the related Trust REMIC(s) shall terminate at that time.

ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS

Section 10.01 REMIC Administration. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law. Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, each Class of the Regular Certificates shall be designated the “regular interests,” and the Class UR Interest shall be designated the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any Trust REMIC other than the foregoing interests.

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

(c)       The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such Trust REMIC and shall represent each such Trust REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. The Certificate Administrator is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the

-412-

Code) of each Trust REMIC and shall perform all the functions thereof. By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the Class R Certificates hereby agree to such designation.

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

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

(f)       The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust, any Trust REMIC created hereunder, cause the loss of such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”). The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the

-413-

party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g)       In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(c) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a) to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

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

-414-

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

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

ARTICLE XI

EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING AND REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE

Section 11.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of ARTICLE XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor (and any Other Depositor of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”). In connection with the UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18, and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, and any Other Depositor, Other Trustee and Other Certificate Administrator of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator, and any such Other Depositor, Other Trustee or Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information (in its possession or reasonably attainable) necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as

-417-

applicable, to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), reasonably believed by the Depositor or the related Other Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor and each Other Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements. For purposes of this ARTICLE XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

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

(b)       Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, such Mortgage Loan Seller or such Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator or

-418-

Other Depositor, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor. As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall (i) with respect to any such Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other subcontractor with which it has entered into a servicing relationship, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. With respect to any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, such Servicer shall be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer, such Servicer shall obtain from each such Servicing Function Participant and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, in each case, as and when required to be delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

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

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

-419-

Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section 11.07, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

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

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

Section 11.03 Filing Obligations. (a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the Trust’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

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

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

-420-

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

Form 10-K (and not in respect of any year in which such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization is not required to file an annual report on Form 10-K because a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the related trust was filed), each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant appointed with respect to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan to, to the extent required pursuant to Item 1123 of Regulation AB, deliver, with respect to itself, to the depositor, trustee and certificate administrator under such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization (provided that (a) such party has received notice of the occurrence of the related Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, or (b) such party is also a party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (c) the applicable Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization closed prior to the Closing Date, as reflected on Exhibit S), under such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization a servicer compliance statement signed by an authorized officer of such Person that satisfies the requirements of Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, complies in all material respects with the timing, reporting and attestation requirements imposed on such party in ARTICLE XI of this Agreement (other than this Section 11.15) with respect to the comparable timing, reporting and attestation requirements contemplated in this Section 11.15(e) with respect to such Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, such party shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.15(e).

(f)       Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Servicing Function Participant to agree (severally but not jointly) to indemnify (such indemnity limited to each such parties respective failure described below) and hold the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or permitted transferee), depositor, sponsor(s), trustee, certificate administrator or master servicer under a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization harmless for any costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred by such Mortgage Loan Seller, depositor, sponsor(s), trustee, certificate administrator or master servicer as a result of any failure by the Servicing Function Participant to comply with the reporting requirements to the extent applicable set forth under Sections 11.15(b), (c), (d) or (e) above.

Any subservicing agreement related to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan shall contain a provision requiring the related Sub-Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, information, reports, statements and certificates with respect to itself and such Serviced Securitized Companion Loan comparable to any information, reports, statements or certificates required to be provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 11.15, even if such Sub-Servicer is not otherwise required to provide such information, reports or certificates to any Person in order to comply with Regulation AB. Such information, reports or certificates shall be provided to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is required to deliver its comparable information, reports, statements or certificates pursuant to this Section 11.15.

(g)       With respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Companion Loan that the applicable Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer and the

-444-

Special Servicer in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) (together with notification of the Relevant Distribution Date) with respect to an Other Securitization that includes such Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is in receipt of the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar quarter (other than the fourth (4th) calendar quarter of any calendar year) from the Mortgagor, beginning with the first calendar quarter in which such notice from the Other Depositor was received, or the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar year, beginning for the calendar year in which such notice from the Other Depositor was received, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Other Depositor, on or prior to the day that occurs two (2) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seven (7) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, (A) if such financial statement receipt occurs twelve (12) or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seventeen (17) or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, the financial statements of such “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor” for the applicable period as calculated by the Master Servicer (or by the Special Servicer and provided to the Master Servicer solely in the case of any related Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property) in accordance with CREFC^® guidelines and (B) if such financial statement receipt occurs less than twelve (12) Business Day prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or less than seventeen (17) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial statements of the “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor” for the applicable period as reported by the related Mortgagor in such financial statements (or by the Special Servicer and provided to the Master Servicer solely in the case of any related Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property).

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

The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the related Sub-Servicer

-445-

This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

Section 11.16 Certain Matters Regarding Significant Obligors. As of the Closing Date, with respect to the Trust, there is no “significant obligor” within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB (“Significant Obligor”).

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

ARTICLE XII

The Asset Representations Reviewer

Section 12.01 Asset Review. 

(a)       On or prior to each Distribution Date, based either on the CREFC^® Delinquent Loan Status Report and/or the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this ARTICLE XII shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the reporting period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following Mortgage Loans identified below are sixty (60) or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.”. On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via e-mail) in the form of Exhibit RR within two (2) Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within ninety (90) days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders (with a copy to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.10 to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Holders of Certificates evidencing at least (i) a majority of those Certificateholders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within one hundred fifty (150) days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the other Certificateholders (the “Asset Review Notice”). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit QQ (which shall be sent via e-mail to

-447-

trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any case within two (2) Business Days after such receipt) grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such one hundred fifty (150) day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such one hundred fifty (150) day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received any Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)       (i) Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) - (5) below for all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, provide the following materials in electronic format to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files posted on the Secure Data Room by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.08, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

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

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

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

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

-448-

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

(6)       any other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan that the Asset Representations Reviewer has determined are necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review and that are requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer, in the time frames and as otherwise described in clause (ii) hereof.

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

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

(iv)       Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to

-449-

that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit PP (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, that the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

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

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

(vii)       The Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within fifty-six (56) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession within ten (10) Business Days following the request by the Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, as described in Section 12.01(b)(ii), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Master Servicer (only with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents or

-450-

explanations to support the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be sent by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.

(viii)       The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or within the ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan, the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be a responsibility of the applicable Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(k) of this Agreement.

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

(x)       Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing Standard, there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the

-451-

Special Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

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

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

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

(a)       The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan) and shall be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00034% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (excluding

-452-

any related Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

(b)       As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset Review, upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee equal to, in the case of a Delinquent Loan, the sum of: (i) $16,000, plus (ii) $1,600 per additional Mortgaged Property in excess of one Mortgaged Property with respect to such Delinquent Loan, plus (iii) $2,100 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Delinquent Loan subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,100 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Delinquent Loan subject to a franchise agreement, hotel management agreement or hotel license agreement, subject, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iv), to adjustments on the basis of the year-end Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, or other similar index if the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers is no longer calculated, for the year of the Closing Date and for the year of the occurrence of the Asset Review (any such fee, the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”). The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or (ii) at any time after the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the application of Realized Losses to such Certificates and the related Mortgage Loan Seller fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a certification to the Master Servicer that the requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b) have been met. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not deliver any such certificate unless it has invoiced payment of such amount and otherwise met the requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b), including receipt of evidence of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount. A Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have failed to pay such amount hereunder ninety (90) days after delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of an itemized invoice to such Mortgage Loan Seller by registered mail or overnight courier to the address listed in this Agreement for such Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notices in accordance with this Agreement, or ninety (90) days following attempted delivery of such invoice by registered mail or overnight courier and reasonable follow -up by telephone or e-mail. Notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust.

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

-453-

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

Section 12.03 Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer may at any time resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be effective until a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor asset representations reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation.

Section 12.04 Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

Section 12.05 Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. 

(a)       An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)       any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the Voting Rights, provided that any such failure that is not curable within such thirty (30) day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial thirty (30) day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an

-454-

officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

(ii)       any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)      any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

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

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

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

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders (which shall be simultaneously delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer) in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts), shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of

-455-

events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

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

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

-456-

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

(d)       Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor, each Rating Agency, and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may change any provision specifically required to be included herein by any related Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

(b)       This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of a VRR Interest) evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

Furthermore, no amendment to this Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in this Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

(f)       The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 13.01 that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

(g)       The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to Section 13.01(a) or Section 13.01(c) and the cost of any amendment entered into hereunder shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, except that if the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee requests any amendment of this Agreement in furtherance of the rights and interests of Certificateholders, the cost of any Opinion of Counsel required in connection therewith pursuant to Section 13.01(a) or Section 13.01(c) shall be payable out of the Collection Account.

(h)       The Servicing Standard shall not be amended unless each Rating Agency provides Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies provide a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings, if any (provided

-461-

that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

(i)       To the extent the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or Depositor obtains an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 13.01(c) in connection with executing any amendment to this Agreement, such party shall be deemed not to have acted negligently in connection with entering into such amendment for purposes of availing itself of any indemnity provided to such party under this Agreement.

(j)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 13.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates, so long as neither the Depositor nor any of its Affiliates is performing servicing duties with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans.

(k)       This Agreement may not be amended without the consent of any holder of a Companion Loan if such amendment would materially and adversely affect the rights of such Companion Holder hereunder.

Section 13.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. (a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of the Depositor on direction by the Special Servicer and with the consent of the Depositor (which may not be unreasonably withheld), but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Depositor) to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

(b)       For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

(c)       The Trustee shall make any filings required under the laws of the state of its place of business required solely by virtue of the fact of the location of the Trustee’s place of business, the costs of which, if any, to be at the Trustee’s expense.

(b)       No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

(c)       No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement, any Mortgage Loan, or with respect to the Certificates, unless, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice of default, and of the continuance thereof, as herein before provided, or of the need to institute such suit, action or proceeding on behalf of the Trust and unless also (except in the case of a default by the Trustee) the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than 25% of the related Percentage Interests in such Class shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or hereby.

This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

A-1-7 

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount of [FOR PRINCIPAL BALANCE CERTIFICATES (CLASS A-1, A-2, A-SB, A-3, A-4, A-S, B, C, D, E, F, G and NR-RR): principal and] interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. [FOR CLASS A-1, A-2, A-SB, A-3, A-4, A-S, B, C, D, E, X-A and X-B CERTIFICATES: Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.] All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

A-1-8 

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

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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

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

A-1-13 

Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that any conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

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

A-1-14 

years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

(hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class NR-RR Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the UBS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE TRUST 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

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

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D

A-2-6 

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

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

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

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has

A-2-7 

provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate from the prospective Transferee in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certificate from the prospective Transferor in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class [__]-RR Certificates will be issued [FOR BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES: in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC] in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the

A-2-8 

Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(ix)      to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of a VRR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that any conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their

A-2-12 

option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

UBS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIZATION CORP.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [____________________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class Z Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2019 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among UBS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIZATION CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a percentage interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof. The Certificates are designated as the UBS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE TRUST 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Class Z Certificate represents an undivided beneficial interest in a portion of a grantor trust that holds the Excess Interest and related amounts in the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise

A-3-4 

taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the Excess Interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, Excess Interest actually collected on the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator,

A-3-5 

directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate, subject to applicable law with respect to escheatment of funds. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Class Z Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 1% of such Class Z Certificates and in integral multiples of 0.01% in excess thereof.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that any conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of

A-3-10 

its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

UBS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIZATION CORP.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [____________________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2019 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between UBS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIZATION CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a percentage interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof. The Certificates are designated as the UBS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE TRUST 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured

A-4-5 

by income. The Certificate Administrator will be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code for each Trust REMIC, and by their acceptance hereof, the Holders of the Class R Certificates agree to such designation.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount, if any, distributable with respect to all the Class R Certificates, to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on each Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining

A-4-6 

non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent

A-4-7 

(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Sections 5.03(p) or 5.03(q) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in its Transferee Affidavit are false.

The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)        to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(ii)       to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(iv)      to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the VRR Interest) or Companion Holder;

(v)       to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Sections 5.03(p) or 5.03(q) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(vi)      to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the VRR Interest) or any holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies with respect to such amendment or supplement and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

A-4-9 

amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the VRR Interest) not consenting to such amendment or supplement, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;

(viii)    to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

(ix)      to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the VRR Interest), as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)       in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling

A-4-10 

and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may change any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any related Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holder of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of the VRR Interest) evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)        reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)       reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)      adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master

A-4-11 

Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that any conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provision specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Companion Loan without, in each case, the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan(s).

The Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21

A-4-12 

years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Re: Transfer of UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2019 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among UBS Commercial Mortgage Securitization Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, on behalf of the holders of UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18 in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_______________ aggregate [Certificate Balance][Notional Amount][__% Percentage Interest] of Class ___ Certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:

1.       Check one of the following:^*

☐ The Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institution that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1),

^* Purchaser must select one of the following two certifications.

Exhibit C-1

(2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any entity in which all of the equity owners are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D (each, an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s or such account’s investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

☐ The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.

2.             The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificates (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer (i) to QIBs in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate) to Institutional Accredited Investors, subject in the case of clause (ii) above to (w) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (x) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (y) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and (z) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. The Purchaser understands that the Certificates (and any subsequent Certificates) have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificates only to certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

3.             The Purchaser has reviewed the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates (collectively, the “Prospectus”) (and, with respect to Offered Private Certificates, the Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum and the Final Private Placement Memorandum related to such Offered Private Certificates) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.

This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

6.             The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate or Certificates, except in compliance with Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Re: UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18 (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2019, by and among UBS Commercial Mortgage Securitization Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer

STATE OF	)
	)        ss.:
COUNTY OF	)

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

1.             I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

2.             The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the (i) “Lower-Tier REMIC” and (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC,” respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

3.             The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following:  (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any

Exhibit D-1-1

possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause a Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

4.             The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.             The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

6.             No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.             The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.

8.             Check the applicable paragraph:

☐             The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)             the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)            the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

(iii)          the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

Exhibit D-1-2

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

☐            The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)            the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)           at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)          the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)          the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐            None of the above.

9.            The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

10.           The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.           The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.

Exhibit D-1-3

12.           The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

13.           The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.           The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

15.           The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Re: UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18 (the “Certificates”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2019 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among UBS Commercial Mortgage Securitization Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)           No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)           The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

(3)           The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in

Exhibit D-2-1

the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Very truly yours,
	(Transferor)

Exhibit U-1

Re: UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-C18, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-C18

Mortgage Loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) identified by loan number _____ [and loan number [_______]] on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and heretofore secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule by the following names:____________________
       ____________________

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

(a)Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

____ a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

____ a partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(b)Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

(i)The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

(ii)The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

(iii)The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

(iv)The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Exhibit U-2

(v)The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

(vi)The defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

(vii)The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

(viii)The Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

Exhibit U-3

(ix)The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).

(x)The Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(c)Certify that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.

(d)            Certify that the individual under whose hand the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.

(e)Certify that it has provided the required notices to, and obtained the required consents of, the related Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with Section 3.18(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(f) Agree to provide copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.

Based solely on such limited review and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year on an “asset-level basis”. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer has failed to materially comply with the Servicing Standard as a result of the following material deviations.]

Consulted with the Special Servicer as provided under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor’s analysis of the Asset Status Reports (including related non-discretionary portions of net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations) related to the Specially Serviced Loans should be considered a limited investigation and not be considered a full or limited audit, legal review or legal opinion. For instance, we did not re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculation, visit any property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Directing Certificateholder or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

II. Specific Items of Review

In rendering our assessment herein, we examined and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the items listed below:

1. The Operating Advisor reviewed the following items in connection with the generation of this report: [LIST MATERIAL ITEMS].

The following is a general discussion of certain concerns raised by the Operating Advisor discussed in this report: [LIST CONCERNS].

In addition to the other information presented herein, the Operating Advisor notes the following additional items, if any: [LIST ADDITIONAL ITEMS].

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit.

In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

[Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)/Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (“Rialto Capital”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder. The Company is requesting such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related mortgage loan documents.

[Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital] will provide the Company with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential Information”) pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and borrowers. The Company acknowledges that the Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital] by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital], the [“Master Servicer”/“Special Servicer”] (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and its respective Representatives (as defined below) shall not have any liability to the Company or its Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential Information, (y) any use of the Confidential Information, or (z) [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital]’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital]; (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.

The Company may have access to the Confidential Information through (at [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital]’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital]’s surveillance group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or any successor or replacement system (“System”). [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital] may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential Information in the event that (a) the Company or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital] determines (in its sole discretion) that such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital] shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Wells

Exhibit X-2

[_____] [__], 20[__]

Fargo/Rialto Capital] determines that the provision, notice or access to such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company’s obligations and the restrictions applicable to the protection of the Confidential Information hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company’s access to the Confidential Information. [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital]’s remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.

The Company agrees that it will not, and it shall not permit its Representatives, to disclose the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever to any other person or entity, other than its Representatives (but only to the extent necessary to accomplish the Permitted Purpose) who have a need to know the information, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order or any governmental agency or regulator. The Company acknowledges (i) its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii) that any disclosure of the Confidential Information by it or its Representatives for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose, in addition to being a breach of this letter agreement, may constitute a violation of federal and state securities laws. The Company will take reasonable measures to ensure that each Representative is advised of this letter agreement and agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential. The Company shall be liable for any breach of this letter agreement by its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may subsequently provide all or any part of such Confidential Information to any other person or entity that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein, but only if such person or entity confirms such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and provided that, prior to the delivery of such Confidential Information, such persons shall have executed and delivered to the Company an agreement that is substantially similar in form and substance to this agreement.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application of conflict of laws principles. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital] intends at all times to comply with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or qualify any of [Wells Fargo/Rialto Capital]’s rights or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

This agreement shall terminate with respect to the information received by the Company one year after the Company receives such information or ceases to be a Certificateholder. Company agrees that this letter agreement supersedes and replaces and survives any click-through agreement regarding confidentiality of Confidential Information agreed to in connection with accessing the System whether agreed to in accessing the System before or after signing this letter agreement.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

In the event of any conflict between this Exhibit PP and the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall control and govern the Asset Representation Reviewer’s responsibilities and duties with respect to the Asset Reviews.

Call for Review and Collection and Inventory of Review Materials

Step 1 Asset Representations Reviewer (“ARR”) receives the following items before beginning its review:

■ CREFC^® Delinquent Mortgage Loan Status Report

■ Notice of Asset Review Trigger (with attachments)

■ Notice of Asset Review Vote Election

■ Notice of Affirmative Asset Review Vote

■ Asset Review Notice

■ List of all Subject Loans

■ Review Materials for each Subject Loan via Secure Data Room access, including the Diligence File

■ Any Unsolicited Information (if applicable)

Exhibit PP-1

Step 2 For each Subject Loan, ARR inventories all Review Materials to which ARR is provided access in the Secure Data Room to determine what, if any, Review Materials for such Subject Loan are missing, using the list of documents provided in the definition of “Mortgage File” of this Agreement, any comparable lists included in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and any closing checklist from the origination of such Subject Loan, to guide its review and determination.

Step 3 If ARR determines that the information made available to it in the Secure Data Room with respect to any Subject Loan is missing any documents required to complete an Asset Review of such Subject Loan, ARR prepares list of such missing documents and, within the time periods specified in Section 12.01 of this Agreement, (i) notifies the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) of such missing documents, and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, deliver to the ARR such missing document(s) to the extent in its possession and (ii) in the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the ARR shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

Analysis and Testing of Representations and Warranties

Step 4 For each Subject Loan for which ARR has received all Review Materials required to complete an Asset Review of such Subject Loan, ARR tests such Subject Loan for compliance with each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Subject Loan as follows:

■ ARR reviews each representation and warranty and each item included in the Review Materials applicable or related to such representation or warranty to determine whether there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

■ For each representation and warranty, ARR lists

● all items from the Review Materials reviewed or used in its testing of such representation and warranty;

● whether ARR has determined that there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; and

○ if so, stating the aspect of the applicable representation or warranty that does not appear to have been true when made

Exhibit PP-2

by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and ARR’s basis for its conclusion;

○ completing the Asset Review Report by setting forth, for each [Subject Loan], the information contemplated herein with respect to each representation and warranty.

■ ARR will not attempt (and has no obligation) to determine the materiality of any potential breach of a representation or warranty that it discovers evidence of during its review as contemplated herein.

Any Non-Lead Master Servicer (or if not made by such Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Trustee) may be required to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the related servicing agreement for the related Securitization (each such agreement, a “Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement”) and this Agreement.

-27-

Section 5. Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)       Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be

-28- 

determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer from an Interested Person received represents a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) conducted in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained within the prior nine (9) months pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the related Non-Lead Securitization Note is held by a Borrower Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder that are material to the sale price of the Mortgage Loan and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, however, that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Controlling Note Holders and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representatives shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is a Borrower Party).

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third

-29- 

party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person.

Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the related Non-Lead Securitization Note. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the original related Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Notes upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the Initial Note Holder from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Initial Note Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by the related Initial Note Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by such Initial Note Holder or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Initial Note Holder under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Initial Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)       The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each Note Holder. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder. The

-30- 

Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may materially and adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is a Borrower Party) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event or effectively equivalent period) with respect to any Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event or effectively equivalent period, but subject to any limitations in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement regarding providing such information to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or those who have certain relationships with the Mortgage Loan Borrower) and (ii) to consult with each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may make any Major

-31- 

Decision or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) annual meetings with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)       If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and the other is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement

-32- 

or payment otherwise distributable to the other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6. Rights of the Controlling Note Holder and Non-Controlling Note Holders.

(a)       The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment (and such parties will be entitled to rely on such notice), an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative.

Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder, in such capacity, will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder

-33- 

Representative or Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of other Note Holders and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, acting in such capacity, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

(b)       Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative (other than a Borrower Party) in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder (if it is not the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; provided, that each Initial Note Holder shall be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon. The Non-Controlling Note Holder Representatives with respect to the Non-Controlling Notes, as of the date of this Agreement and until the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) is notified otherwise, shall be the Initial Note A-2 Holder with respect to Note A-2, the Initial Note A-3 Holder with respect to Note A-3 and the Initial Note A-4 Holder with respect to Note A-4.

(c)       The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Holder,” “Controlling Class Certificateholder,” “Controlling Class Representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to the Mortgage Loan if it is a “Specially Serviced Loan” (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below, (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii)

-34- 

the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Major Decision as to which the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer, as may be necessary in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.

If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response.

No objection, consent, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may, and neither the Master Servicer nor Special Servicer shall take any action that would (i) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC Provisions or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes, (iii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement does not provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, (iv) materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, under this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

-35- 

Section 7. Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the conditions and requirements set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to the other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, but only if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), and delivering to each Non-Controlling Note Holder a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued and outstanding under the related Securitization if such replacement Special Servicer does not meet the Required Special Servicer Rating with respect to those Rating Agencies rating the securities of any Securitization related to a Non-Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the Non-Controlling Note Holders of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects a Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Note Holders acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Upon the occurrence of such a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer that affects a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall, upon the direction of the affected Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, require the appointment of a subservicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Non-Controlling Note Holder that directs the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

-36- 

Section 8. Payment Procedure.

(a)       The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account and/or Companion Distribution Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days after receipt by it of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

(b)       If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)       If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(d)       Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. A Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9. Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with

-37- 

respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement.

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with such Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 10. Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

-38- 

Section 11. Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12. No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates and if the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses to offer to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the Lead Securitization Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13. Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, a Borrower Party, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to any such party and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14. Sale of the Notes.

(a)       Except as contemplated by the second following sentence, each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after the Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Securitization Trust), the non-transferring Note Holder(s) shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating the securities of such Securitization Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, until a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer made without the prior consent of the non-transferring Note Holder and Rating Agency Confirmation (if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust), shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, transfers of any securities backed by a Note held in a Securitization Trust will not be subject to the foregoing requirement and such transfers shall be governed by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of the non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes together, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

(b)       In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue

-40- 

to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)       Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent or higher rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to any other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to any other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. A Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any

-41- 

Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than a Borrower Party that is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)       Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)       The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)       The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)       Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)       The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)       Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 15. Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be

-42- 

deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and the other Note Holders against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

(b)       CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE

-43- 

VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)       AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)       AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 18. Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating any securities of any Securitization; provided that no such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, to make provisions in this Agreement consistent with other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 32).

Section 19. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided herein, including without limitation, with respect to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer and Special Servicer and the Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, each Note Holder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Note Holder hereunder.

Section 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 21. Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

-44- 

Section 22. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 24. Withholding Taxes. (a) (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

(b)       Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(c)       Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the

-45- 

execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Note Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

Section 25. Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. On and after the closing of the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the originals of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes) shall be held by the Trustee through a duly appointed custodian therefor, in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes; provided that if the First Securitization is not the Note A-1 Securitization, (i) the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes not being deposited into the First Securitization) shall be transferred to and held by the Trustee (of the First Securitization) through a duly appointed custodian therefor under the First Securitization, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes, until the closing of the Note A-1 Securitization, on which date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes not being deposited into the Note A-1 Securitization) shall be transferred to and held in the name of the Trustee (by a duly appointed custodian therefor) under the Note A-1 PSA on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes; and (ii) all Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes not being deposited into the Note A-1 Securitization) shall not be recorded or filed to reflect the name of the trustee under the Securitization Servicing Agreement for the First Securitization (except to the extent specifically provided for in the Securitization Servicing Agreement for the First Securitization).

Section 26. Cooperation in Securitization. Each Note Holder acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the related Securitizing Note Holder, the related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy,

-46- 

and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which such Securitizing Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with such Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect such Securitization; provided, that no Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments to, such Non-Securitizing Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any Securitization, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization such information concerning such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note as the related Securitizing Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and such Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Securitizing Note Holder in connection with such Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with such Securitizing Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable such Securitizing Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and such Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to such Note Holder and its Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder.

Upon request, each Securitizing Note Holder shall deliver to the Non-Securitizing Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the pooling and servicing agreement for the Securitization of such Securitizing Note Holder’s Note and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

Section 27. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i)  facsimile transmission or e-mail (during business hours) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (ii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iii) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the

-47- 

other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

Section 28. Broker. Each Note Holder represents to each other that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 29. Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a)       The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any representation made or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 14 and Section 15;

(b)       The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

(c)       The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(d)       The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(e)       The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any representation made or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15;

(f)       The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder; and

Section 30. Reserved.

Section 31. Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. WFB, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of a Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this

-48- 

Agreement in place of WFB or the master servicer of the First Securitization, as applicable, without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

Section 32. Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as any Note Holder or an affiliate thereof (each, an “Original Entity”) is the owner of a Note that is not included in a Securitization (each, an “Owned Note”), such Original Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing the Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of the other Notes. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (iv) above are satisfied), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall (a) represent that the conditions set forth in (i) through (iv) have been satisfied and/or (b) deliver a confirmation of the continued applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes. If the Controlling Note is involved in any resizing contemplated by this Section 32, the applicable Note Holder shall be entitled to designate any one of the related New Notes as the Controlling Note, and the definitions of “Controlling Note” and “Controlling Note Holder” shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly. Any New Note that is created in a resizing contemplated by this Section 32 and that is not the Controlling Note shall be deemed to be a Non-Controlling Note under this Agreement, the definitions of “Non-Controlling Note” and “Non-Controlling Note Holder” shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly to include such New Notes, and the applicable Note Holders of such Non-Controlling Notes shall have the same rights and responsibilities as all other Non-Controlling Note Holders.

2.   Servicing of the Mortgage Loan. (a)  Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to the specific terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in

-11- 

effect at any given time. Each holder agrees to reasonably cooperate with each Servicer with respect to its exercise of its rights and obligations under the Servicing Agreement.

(b)       Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the appointment of the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and the appointment of the Special Servicer by the Directing Holder and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. Each Holder hereby appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of the Holders as set forth herein and in such Servicing Agreement).

(c)       If, at any time the Lead Note is no longer in a Securitization, the Designated Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced by a Qualified Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement that is substantially similar to the Servicing Agreement (provided that, if any Non-Lead Note is in a Securitization, a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such servicing agreement shall be obtained from the Rating Agencies that were engaged by the Depositor to rate such Securitization) and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement has been entered into (and such Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained), the Designated Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any Qualified Servicer appointed by the Designated Holder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement that was previously in effect.

(d)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Sections 4 and 13(a)), each Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Servicer shall be required to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard as set forth in such Servicing Agreement, and any Holder who is not a Borrower or an Affiliate of a Borrower shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. It is understood that any Non-Lead Note Holder may separately appoint a servicer for its Non-Lead Note, by itself or together with other assets, but any such servicer will have no responsibility hereunder and shall be compensated solely by the applicable Non-Lead Note Holder from funds payable to it hereunder or otherwise.

(e)       The Holders acknowledge that the Servicer is to comply with this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loan.

(f)       If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within

-12- 

the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights that the Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC that includes any Note (or any portion thereof). Each Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(g)       In the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, the other Holders shall not be required to reimburse such Holder or any other Person for payment of any taxes imposed on such REMIC or Advances therefor or for any interest on such Advance or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Holders be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

3.   Priority of Notes. Note A-1 and Note A-2 shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any of Note A-1 or Note A-2 shall have priority or preference over any portion of the other Note or security therefor. Except for the Excluded Amounts, all amounts tendered by the Borrower or otherwise available for payment on the Mortgage Loan, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, a balloon payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other instrument serving as security on the Mortgage Loan, proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be distributed by the Master Servicer and applied to Note A-1 and Note A-2 on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

The Servicing Agreement may provide for the application of Penalty Charges paid in respect of the Mortgage Loan to be used to (i) pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for interest accrued on any Property Advances, (ii) to pay the parties to any Securitization for interest accrued on any P&I Advance, (iii) to pay certain other expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (iv) to pay to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

4.   Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and Section 13 of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the Mortgage Loan Principal Balance is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on Note A-1 or Note A-2 are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the

-13- 

Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of Note A-1 and Note A-2 as described in Section 3.

5.   Accounts; Payment Procedure. The Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement all payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account for deposit or credit on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date all payments received with respect to and allocable to Note A-1 and Note A-2 by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder, respectively; provided that delinquent payments received by the Master Servicer after the related Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such accounts within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement.

If any Servicer holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of Note A-1 or Note A-2 determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of Note A-1 or Note A-2 must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Borrower or paid to the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Servicer shall be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, and the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, shall promptly on demand repay to such Servicer the portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer shall have been required to pay to the Borrower, the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, any Servicer or such other person or entity with respect thereto. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the obligations of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder under this Section 5 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall any Servicer enforce the obligations of any Holder against any other Holder. The obligations of the Note A-1 Holder, and the Note A-2 Holder under this Section 5 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of these provisions.

6.   Limitation on Liability. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, no Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have any liability to any other Holder with respect to any Note, except (1) with respect to the Advance reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 17 and (2) with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement on the part

-14- 

of such Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf, except that the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability may be further limited or expanded as set forth in the Servicing Agreement).

7.   Representations of the Holders. (a)  Each of the initial Holders hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with each other Holder that, as of the date hereof:

(i)       It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State under which it is organized.

(ii)       The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, and performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement by such Holder, will not violate its organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or that is applicable to it or any of its assets, in each case which materially and adversely affect its ability to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii)       Such Holder has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

(iv)       This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law.

(v)       It has the right to enter into this Agreement without the consent of any third party.

(vi)       It is the holder of the respective Note for its own account in the ordinary course of its business.

(vii)       It has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(viii)       It is a Qualified Transferee.

8.   Independent Analyses of each Holder. Each Holder acknowledges that, except for the representations made in Section 7, it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Holders and based on such documents and information as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase its respective Note. Each

-15- 

Holder hereby acknowledges that the other Holders shall have no responsibility for (i) the collectability of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with its respective Note for reasons other than gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by any other Holder or negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by any Servicer, subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

9.   No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute among any Holder (or the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) and any other Holder a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. Each Holder (or the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to the other Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or interests relating to any future loans originated by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and if any Holder chooses to offer to any of the other Holders, the opportunity to purchase notes or interests in any future mortgage loans originated by such Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. None of the Holders shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Holder any notes or interests in any future loans originated by any other Holder or any of its Affiliates.

10.   Not a Security. None of Note A-1 or Note A-2 shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

11.   Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each Holder acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of any Borrower, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to any Affiliate of any Borrower and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability, but only if none of the foregoing violate the Mortgage Loan Documents, in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

12.   Transfer of Notes. (a)  Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note whether or not the related transferee is a Qualified Transferee without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Each Holder shall not Transfer more than 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Holder has consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (iii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee or (iv) such Transfer is in connection with a sale by a Securitization Trust; provided that if such Transfer is a Transfer of the Lead Note, such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee.

-16- 

Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Holder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Such proposed transferee (except in the case of Transfers that are made in connection with a Securitization) shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the Depositor to rate the securities issued in connection with such Securitization, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower or an Affiliate of a Borrower and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. None of the provisions of this Section 12(a) shall apply in the case of a sale of Note A-1 together with Note A-2, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization PSA.

(b)       Except for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization, or a Transfer made by an initial Holder to an Affiliate, at least five (5) days prior to a transfer of any Note, the transferring Holder shall provide to the other Holders and, if any Certificates are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 12, such certification to include (1) the name and contact information of the transferee and (2) if applicable, a certification by the transferee that it is a Qualified Transferee.

(c)       The Holders acknowledge that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge the transferring Holder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.

(d)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder may pledge or transfer (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower) that has extended a credit facility to such Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with such Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), or to a Person with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained, on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12(d), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to any Holder or any Affiliate that controls such Holder that is secured by such Holder’s interest in its respective Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder on the condition that all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 12 are complied with. A Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to a Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice, if any, by the pledging Holder to the other Holders and the Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the other Holders agree to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agree: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the pledging Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to the other Holders hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification,

-17- 

waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (if the pledging Holder had the right to consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination within 10 days after request therefor; (iv) that the other Holders shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the pledging Holder which such pledging Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Holder; (v) that the other Holders or Servicer shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other Holders; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the pledging Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee (or at any time that pledging Holder otherwise directs that such payment be made to Note Pledgee pursuant to a separate notice) shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Servicer would otherwise be obligated to make to the pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Holder on account of any Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or other Holders in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law, the pledge agreement, repurchase agreement or similar agreement between the pledging Holder and the Note Pledgee and this Agreement. In such event, or if the pledging holder otherwise assigns its interests to the Note Pledgee, the other Holders and the Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than a Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower) that is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and such Person’s successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 12(d) shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified such Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

13.   Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer. (a)  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority to (i) modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower

-18- 

or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action, and the Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan other than as provided in the Servicing Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority to make Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has to (A) call or cause the Servicer to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (B) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as any Servicer shall reasonably require to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the first sentence in this Section 13(a).

(b)       The Lead Servicer and the related Trustee shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Non-Lead Note Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Servicer and the related Trustee from their respective obligation under the Servicing Agreement to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

(c)       The Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Servicing Agreement shall provide that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the next sentence, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, if the Special Servicer determines to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (or the Lead Note), it will be required to sell the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan (i.e., both the Lead Note and Non-Lead Note). Any such sale of the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan is subject to the satisfaction of the following:

(i)       Each Non-Directing Holder has provided written consent to such sale (to the extent the related Note with respect to the Non-Directing Holder is not included in the same Securitization as the related Note with respect to the Directing Holder); or

(ii)       The Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to each Non-Directing Holder (to the extent the related Note with respect to the Non-Directing Holder is not included in the same Securitization as the Note with respect to the Directing Holder):

(1)       at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan;

(2)       at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale;

-19- 

(3)       at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by a Non-Lead Note Holder; and

(4)       until the sale is completed and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Holder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

Any Non-Directing Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth above only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Lead Note Holder, the Directing Holder, the Non-Lead Note Holders (to the extent the related Non-Lead Note is not included in the Lead Securitization) and the Non-Directing Holders shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is a Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of a Borrower).

The Non-Lead Note Holders (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Note Holder) hereby appoint the Lead Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Notes. Each Non-Lead Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Note Holder, such Non-Lead Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following such request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

(d)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Servicer on behalf of the Holders of its rights under this Section 13 shall be subject in all respects to any section of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action if taking or failing to take such action, as the case may be, would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents or be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or violate the REMIC provisions of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(f) of this Agreement.

14.   Rights of the Directing Holder. (a) The Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Holder,” “Controlling Class Certificateholder,” “Controlling Class Representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master

-20- 

Servicer shall not be permitted to take any Major Action unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any Major Action nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any Major Action as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Action. The Directing Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable, subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

(b)       If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Action within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Directing Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Action together with any information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) period, such Major Action shall be deemed to have been approved by the Directing Holder.

(c)       In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

(d)       No objection, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or expose the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement.

(e)       The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the other Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Holders agree that the Directing Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Holder over the other Holder, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Directing Holder agree to take no action against the Directing Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Directing Holder will not be deemed to have been

-21- 

grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Holder.

16.   Rights of the Non-Directing Holders. (a) The Lead Securitization PSA shall provide that the Servicer shall be required:

(i)       to provide copies of the same notices, information and reports that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Actions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan to the Non-Directing Holders (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), within the same time frame as specified with respect to the Directing Holder (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), provided, however, that if Note A-2 has been included in a Securitization transaction, then for any information for which the Special Servicer would be required to provide to such Non-Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall provide such notice to the master servicer of the other Securitization transaction, who shall forward such notice as and when required under the terms of the related Securitization documents; and

(ii)       to consult with each Non-Directing Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, if, having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Directing Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Action or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Directing Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to each Non-Directing Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with the Non-Directing Holders, whether or not the Non-Directing Holders have responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless the Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto).

-22- 

(b)       Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holders, the Servicer may take any Major Action or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders.

(c)       In addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, the Non-Directing Holders shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)       In no event shall the Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any of the Non-Directing Holders.

(e)       Any Non-Directing Holder that is a Borrower or an Affiliate of a Borrower shall not be entitled to any of the rights set forth in this Section 16.

The Lead Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Lead Note (other than any Non-Lead Note contributed to the Lead Securitization) and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Lead Note, any other Non-Lead Note or any Property Advance. The Lead Servicer, each Non-Lead Master Servicer and any Trustee will be entitled to interest on any Advance made in the manner and from the sources provided in the Note A-1 PSA or the Note A-2 PSA, as applicable.

(b)       The Lead Servicer and the related Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Advance, first from the Collection Account established with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and then, if such Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

(c)       To the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Lead Servicer for any Property Advance and/or interest thereon and the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Property Advance or interest thereon, each Non-Lead Note Holder of any Non-Lead Note not deposited into the Lead Securitization (including any Securitization into which any Non-Lead Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Lead Servicer, pay to the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Property Advance and/or interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate. In addition, each Non-Lead Note Holder of any Non-Lead Note not

-23- 

deposited into the Lead Securitization (including any Securitization into which any Non-Lead Note is deposited) shall promptly reimburse the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee for such Non-Lead Note Holder’s pro rata share of any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan as to which the Lead Securitization or any of the parties thereto are entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement (to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts).

(d)       The parties to each of Note A-1 PSA and the Note A-2 PSA shall each be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with Note A-1 PSA, or the Note A-2 PSA, as applicable.

(e)       If the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee elects to defer the reimbursement of a Property Advance in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee shall also defer its reimbursement of each Non-Lead Note share from the Non-Lead Note Holders.

18.   Provisions Relating to Securitization.

(a) New Notes. For so long as LMF or an Affiliate of LMF or Citi or an Affiliate of Citi (an “Initial Note Holder”) is the owner of any Notes, such Initial Note Holder shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes (“Amended Notes”) or additional notes (“New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Note or Notes that it owns (but in no case any Note that it does not then own) among Amended Notes and New Notes or severing a Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Note or Notes being amended or created, provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Amended Notes and New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of the Amended Notes and New Notes prior to such amendments, (ii) all New Notes continue to have the same interest rate as the Amended Note of which it was a part prior to such amendments, (iii) all New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis with the Amended Notes and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement and (iv) the Initial Note Holder holding the New Notes shall notify each other Holder, as applicable, and, if any other Note has been included in a securitization, the parties under each applicable PSA, in writing (which may be by email) of such modified allocations and principal amounts.

-24- 

Directing Holder” will be revised accordingly.

(i)       the applicable master servicer or Trustee for such Securitization shall be required to notify the master servicer, special servicer and Trustee of each other Securitization of the amount of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to the Note included in such Securitization within two Business Days of making such advance;

(ii)       if the applicable master servicer, special servicer or Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a nonrecoverable advance, the master servicer shall provide the other servicers written notice of such determination within 2 Business Days after such determination was made;

(iii)       in the event such Non-Lead Note Holder is responsible for its proportionate share of any Nonrecoverable Advances (or any other portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance) (and advance interest thereon) or other fee or expense pursuant to Section 17 and funds received with respect to such Non-Lead Note are insufficient to cover such amounts, (x) the related master servicer will be required to pay the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement and (y) if the Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement to pay itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general account then the master servicer under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement will be required to reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust Fund out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;

(iv)       each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each such party) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA that relate solely to its servicing of the Mortgage Loan, as applicable, and the master servicer under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement will be required to reimburse the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;

(v)       each of Trustee and the master servicer under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall acknowledge that, (i) each of the Master Servicer and the

-25- 

Trustee under the Servicing Agreement will be a third party beneficiary under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement with respect to any provisions therein relating to (1) the reimbursement of any nonrecoverable advances made with respect to such Non-Lead Note by the Master Servicer or the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement and (2) as to the Master Servicer only, the indemnification of the Master Servicer against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA and relating to such Non-Lead Note and (ii) the Special Servicer will be a third party beneficiary under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement with respect to any provisions therein relating to (1) the reimbursement of any nonrecoverable advances made with respect to such Non-Lead Note by the Special Servicer (it being understood that the Special Servicer is not required to make any Advances) and (2) the indemnification of the Special Servicer against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA and relating to such Non-Lead Note; and

(vi)       the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(d)       The Lead Securitization PSA shall:

(i)       provide that the Master Servicer and Trustee for such Securitization shall be required to notify the servicer, special servicer and Trustee of each other Securitization of the amount of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to the Note included in such Securitization within two Business Days of making such advance;

(ii)       provide that if the Master Servicer or Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a nonrecoverable advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the other servicers written notice of such determination within two Business Days after such determination was made;

(iii)       provide that the Master Servicer shall remit all payments received (or advanced) with respect to any Non-Lead Note (other than any Non-Lead Note deposited into the Lead Securitization as to which payments shall be applied as provided in the Servicing Agreement), net of its Servicing Fee and any other applicable fees and

-26-

“Updated Appraisal” shall mean an Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or related REO Property conducted subsequent to any Appraisal performed on or prior to the date of this Agreement by an Appraiser, selected by the applicable Servicer, in accordance with MAI standards, the costs of which shall be paid as a Property Advance by the Lead Note Holder or applicable Servicer.

“Workout Fee” shall mean:

(i)                prior to the Lead Securitization Date, a fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments, Balloon Payments and payments at maturity) received on a Corrected Mortgage Loan; and

(ii)               from and after the Lead Securitization Date, the meaning assigned to such term in the Servicing Agreement.

The Workout Fee shall be payable out of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments, Balloon Payments and payments at maturity) received on the Mortgage Loan for so long as the Mortgage Loan does not subsequently become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall cease to be payable if the Mortgage Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if the Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan thereafter ceases to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, a new Workout Fee shall become payable to the applicable Servicer that had responsibility for servicing the Mortgage Loan at such time.

2.                  Subordination of Note B. Note B and the right of the Note B Holder to receive payments with respect to Note B shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times be junior, subject and subordinate to each A Note and the rights of each Note A Holder to receive payments with respect to its respective A Note.

3.                  Intentionally Omitted.

4.                  Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)               From and after the date hereof and prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the Interim Servicer shall administer and service the Mortgage Loan consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Interim Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Documents, Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law.

(b)               From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided that:

25 

 

(i)                except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Note B Holder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be materially impaired compared to the rights and remedies of the Note B Holder set forth herein (and the obligations of the Note B Holder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be materially increased compared to the obligations of the Note B Holder set forth herein),

(ii)               the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may differ from this Agreement to the extent requested by the Rating Agencies, the subordinate bond buyers or any of the other parties thereto and differences necessary in order that each Initial Note A Holder and its Affiliates obtain accounting “sale” treatment for its respective Note under FAS 140; provided that, in all cases, any such differences between this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not have a material adverse effect on any of the rights, remedies or protections granted to the Holders under this Agreement (without giving effect to any provision of this Agreement which states that a term shall have “the meaning assigned to such term in the Servicing Agreement,” or be “subject to the Servicing Agreement” or similar phrases),

(iii)                following the Lead Securitization Date, such Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be modified in any manner materially adverse to a Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder, and

(iv)                the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain terms and conditions as are set forth in Section 40(c) of this Agreement and such additional provisions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (i) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of any Securitization Trust, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) generally required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the issuance of ratings in securitizations similar to the Lead Securitization.

(c)               The Servicer shall distribute (or cause to be distributed) to the Holders all payments due to the Holders in accordance with Section 5 and Section 6 hereof; provided, however, that prior to calculating any amount of interest or principal due on such date to the Holders, the Servicer shall reduce the Note B Principal Balance (not below zero) by any Realized Loss with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and after the Note B Principal Balance has been reduced to zero, the Servicer shall reduce the Note A-1 Principal Balance and the Note A-2 Principal Balance, pro rata (based on their respective outstanding Principal Balances) (in each case, not below zero) by any Realized Loss with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

(d)               In consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loan (inclusive of each Note) a servicing fee shall accrue at a rate not to exceed the Servicing Fee Rate on the sum of the outstanding Note A Principal Balance and the outstanding Note B Principal Balance (the “Servicing Fee”). The Servicing Fee shall be paid on the same interest accrual basis and for the same period of time for which interest is paid on the Mortgage Loan, and shall be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

26 

 

(e)               In consideration for special servicing the Mortgage Loan (inclusive of each Note) a special servicing fee shall accrue at a rate not to exceed the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the sum of the outstanding Note A Principal Balance and the outstanding Note B Principal Balance (the “Special Servicing Fee”). The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer if the Mortgage Loan shall become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, for so long as the Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Subject to any liquidation set forth in the Lead Securitization Agreement, the Liquidation Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer upon receipt of Liquidation Proceeds. For any period during which the provisions of Section 6 apply, any Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees shall be paid from funds available for distribution prior to the distribution of funds to the Holders in accordance with Section 6 (it being agreed that a Workout Fee and a Liquidation Fee shall not be payable with respect to the same payment or with respect to the same period of time, or otherwise simultaneously or duplicatively). The Holders acknowledge that pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Servicers may be entitled to receive Additional Servicing Compensation. To the extent any such Additional Servicing Compensation is actually received by a Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, such Servicer shall be entitled to retain the same. In no event, however, shall any amounts relating to Additional Servicing Compensation that are not otherwise actually received by a Servicer (or its subservicer) be deducted from any distributions to any Holder pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6.

(f)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if each of the Lead Securitization Note and Note B cease to be an asset of the trust fund formed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply in their entirety, and each Holder hereby agrees that the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced pursuant to this Agreement. In such event, all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” and to “from and after the Lead Securitization Date” and any ancillary provisions relating thereto shall be deemed to be inoperative and of no further force and effect; provided that the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan under this Agreement shall be performed by a successor Master Servicer appointed by the Lead Note Holder and a successor Special Servicer shall be appointed by the Controlling Holder, both of which replacement Servicers shall be Qualified Servicers and shall be reasonably acceptable to each of the Holders. Any such entity acting as a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the proviso of the preceding sentence will be required to perform such servicing in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the provisions of this Agreement.

(g)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Servicers are required to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(h)               If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (notice of which shall be given by the related Holder to the other Holders within three (3) Business Days of the “startup day”, within the meaning of Section 860(G)(a)(9) of the Code, of the related REMIC), then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that each Note qualifies at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Sections

27 

 

860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a Default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Holders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Sections 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) the related Holder may not modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the related Holder may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United Stated Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the related Note (or any portion of such Note). The Holders agree that the provisions of this Section 4(h) shall be effected by compliance by the related Holder or its assignee with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or such Holder’s interest therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 4(h), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by the Holders.

5.                  Payments Prior to an Event of Default. If no Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, all amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on the Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, payments received in connection with any guaranty or indemnity agreement), whether received as a payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, Prepayments, Balloon Payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Penalty Charges, Cure Payments, proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain (other than any amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents and proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of a Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or the Mortgage Loan Documents) shall be distributed by the Servicer, pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, to the A Notes and Note B on a pro rata and pari passu basis, based on the outstanding principal amount due under each such Note; provided that all amounts so applied shall first be applied to payments of interest on the A Notes and Note B (on a pro rata basis), then to payments of principal on the A Notes and Note B (on a pro rata, pari passu basis); provided, further, that with respect to all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Lead Securitization Trust in respect of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, such amounts shall be applied first (A) to pay the Note A Holders on a pro rata, pari passu basis among such A Notes until repaid in full, and then (B) to pay the Note B Holder in respect of Note B until repaid in full.

6.                  Payments Following an Event of Default.

(a)               If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Lead Securitization Trust in respect of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds shall be applied in the following order of priority:

28 

 

(i)                first, to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee for any unreimbursed Nonrecoverable Property Advances or Nonrecoverable Administrative Advances relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property and interest thereon at the Advance Rate;

(ii)               second, to first reimburse the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the servicer of any other trust) for any unreimbursed Nonrecoverable P&I Advances on the A Notes and interest thereon at the Advance Rate, on a pro rata and pari passu basis, then to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances on Note B and interest thereon at the Advance Rate;

(iii)                third, to reimburse or pay the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for any unreimbursed Property Advances and Administrative Advances relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property plus interest accrued thereon at the Advance Rate and any Trust Fund Expenses (but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Mortgage Loan);

(iv)                fourth, to pay to the Note A Holders accrued and unpaid interest on the A Notes (other than default interest) that was not included in the amount of Nonrecoverable P&I Advances on the A Notes reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) above, on a pro rata and pari passu basis;

(v)               fifth, to pay to the Master Servicer or the Trustee any interest accrued on P&I Advances on the A Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis;

(vi)                sixth, to pay to the Note B Holder accrued and unpaid interest on Note B (other than default interest) that was not included in the amount of Nonrecoverable P&I Advances on Note B reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) above;

(vii)               seventh, to pay to the Master Servicer or the Trustee any interest accrued on P&I Advances on Note B;

(viii)                eighth, to pay to the Note A Holders the Note A Principal Balance of the A Notes due and payable on a pro rata and pari passu basis;

(ix)                ninth, if the proceeds of any foreclosure sale or any liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property exceed the amounts required to be applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i)-(viii), to pay to the Note A Holders, an amount equal to the aggregate of unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the A Notes in accordance with the terms of Section 4(c) or Section 7(a), on a pro rata and pari passu basis;

(x)               tenth, to pay to the Note B Holder the Note B Principal Balance due and payable;

29 

 

(xi)                eleventh, to the Note B Holder, an amount equal to the aggregate of unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to Note B in accordance with the terms of Section 4(c) or Section 7(a);

(xii)               twelfth, to pay the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any amounts to be applied to the payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and similar items;

(xiii)                thirteenth, to fund any other reserves to the extent then required to be held in escrow;

(xiv)                fourteenth, (A) to pay to the Note A Holders any Prepayment Premiums then due and payable in respect of any or all of the A Notes, on a pro rata and pari passu basis among such A Notes, and then (B) to pay to the Note B Holder any Prepayment Premiums then due and payable in respect of Note B;

(xv)               fifteenth, to pay to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer default interest and late payment charges then due and owing under the Mortgage Loan, all of which will be applied in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(xvi)                sixteenth, to pay the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any Additional Servicing Compensation that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is entitled receive under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; and

(xvii)               seventeenth, if any excess amount is available to be distributed in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and not otherwise applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i)-(xvi), any remaining amount shall be paid pro rata to the Note Holders based on the initial principal balances of the Notes held by such Note Holders;

provided that it is being understood and agreed that the priority of payment set forth above is solely for purposes of allocating collections on the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property (net of any reimbursement or payment of Advances or Trust Fund Expenses relating to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property to the extent provided above) to each Note and that any amounts payable to or allocable to the Notes in respect of interest, principal, default interest and interest on P&I Advances will be subject to Section 1.3 and Section 3.4(c) of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and the other applicable provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and will not otherwise affect the reimbursement rights of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee thereunder.

If any Note (or portion thereof) has been defeased, the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 will apply only to the non-defeased Notes (or portions thereof). Any Note (or portion thereof) that has been defeased will be repaid solely from the proceeds of the related defeasance collateral.

(b)               Following any period during which the terms of this Section 6 are in effect, in the event that the Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan, or if the applicable Event of Default is no longer existing, or if the Mortgage Loan is restructured in

30 

 

connection with a workout such that the Mortgage Loan is no longer a Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loan and, as restructured, is transferred back to the Servicer and the applicable Event of Default is no longer continuing, then the terms of Section 5 hereof shall again be in effect, subject, however, to the terms of Section 7 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as the Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the terms of this Section 6 shall continue to be in effect.

7.                  Workout.

(a)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and Section 20 and Section 21 of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, if any applicable Servicer in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the Mortgage Loan Principal Balance is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Interest Rate (or the Note A Interest Rate or Note B Interest Rate) is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on the Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred (other than due solely to an extension of the Maturity Date (that is not a forbearance) pursuant to an executed extension agreement between Lender and the Mortgage Loan Borrower, so long as no other modification under this Section 7 has occurred), or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to each Note A Holder pursuant to Section 5 and Section 6 shall be made as though such workout did not occur, with the payment terms of the A Notes remaining the same as they are on the Closing Date, and the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such workout shall be borne, first, by the Note B Holder (up to the Note B Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note B Interest Rate and any other amounts due the Note B Holder) and, second, pro rata by the Note A-1 Holder (up to the Note A-1 Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note A-1 Interest Rate, and any other amounts due to the Note A-1 Holder) and the Note A-2 Holder (up to the Note A-2 Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the Note A-2 Interest Rate, and any other amounts due to the Note A-2 Holder). If the Mortgaged Property shall become an REO Property, the same shall be acquired, managed and operated in substantially the manner provided in the Servicing Agreement, and the priority of distributions among the Note A Holders and the Note B Holder shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of Section 6 that would be applicable following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (whether or not the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents then remain in effect), with distributions on account of scheduled interest payments being deemed to be Assumed Monthly Payments (as such term shall be defined in the Servicing Agreement) for such purpose.

(b)               For purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling Holder (and not for any other purpose, including purposes of calculations set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 hereof), Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated first, to reduce the Note B Principal Balance, and then, to reduce the Note A-1 Principal Balance and the Note A-2 Principal Balance, pro rata. The Lead Note Holder (or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall notify the Holders in writing of any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated with respect to the Mortgage Loan and any allocation thereof to reduce the Principal Balance of any Note.

8.                  Collection Accounts; Payment Procedure.

31 

 

(a)               Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Servicer to establish and maintain the Collection Account. Each of the Holders hereby directs the Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 and subject to the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt all payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account (x) for deposit or credit on the Remittance Date all payments received with respect to and allocable to each A Note and Note B, by wire transfer to accounts maintained by each Holder and designated to the Servicer in writing; and (y) for such other purposes and at such times as specified in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

(b)               If any Servicer holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of any Note determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to any Holder, any Servicer or any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Holder of such Note, and such Holder, shall promptly on demand repay to such Servicer the portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the related Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Holders, any other Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto, and, if the amount in question had been advanced by the Servicer, then with interest thereon at the Advance Rate. Each Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Servicer. The Servicer shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any Holder, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Holder under the Mortgage Loan, provided that the obligations of each Holder under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another, and in no event shall any Servicer be permitted or required under the Servicing Agreement to enforce the obligations of any Holder against the other Holders. The obligations of each Holder under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of these provisions.

9.                  Advances; Default Interest; Penalty Charges.

(a)               Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, if the Lead Note Holder elects, in its reasonable good faith discretion and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to make a Property Advance, the Lead Note Holder shall notify the other Holders promptly, which notice shall set forth the amount of the additional funds required, the date such funds are required and a summary of the need for such advance. The other Holders shall be required to advance on or before the date specified in the related notice their respective Percentage Interest of such Property Advance. If any Holder fails or refuses to advance the foregoing share of such Property Advance, the Lead Note Holder shall have the right to advance the portion of such Property Advance not advanced by such other Holders. Repayment of any and all such Property Advances made by any Holder together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, if applicable, shall be paid to such Holder from the collections on the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the priority of payments provided in Section 6 hereof. To the extent that any such Property Advance made by

32 

 

any such Holder becomes a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, each Holder that did not make its Percentage Interest of such Property Advance shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Holder that made such advance, reimburse the Holder that made such advance for non-advancing Holder’s pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Property Advance with interest thereon at the Advance Rate.

(b)               From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Servicer and/or the Trustee may be obligated to make Property Advances and (to the extent that such Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) if made) the right of such party to reimbursement for any such Property Advances and interest thereon is prior to the rights of the Holders to receive any distributions or amounts recovered with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. To the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Property Advance or any related Advance Interest Amount, the Non-Lead A Note Holder (including any Securitization Trust into which the Non-Lead A Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Property Advance or Advance Interest Amount.

(c)               If any party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any Non-Lead Servicing Agreement makes a P&I Advance in respect of any Note, such P&I Advance and any interest accrued thereon shall be reimbursable to such advancing party solely as provided under the terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

10.              Limitation on Liability. Neither the Note A Holders nor any Servicer acting on its behalf shall have any liability to the Note B Holder with respect to Note B, except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note A Holder or the Servicer. The Note B Holder shall have no liability to any Note A Holder with respect to its respective A Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of the Note B Holder.

11.              Intentionally Omitted.

12.              Certain Servicing Matters.

(a)               Books and Records. In connection with any inspection of the Mortgaged Property or the books and other financial records of the Mortgage Loan Borrower by the Lead Note Holder pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Lead Note Holder shall, upon written request of the Directing Holder, request that the Mortgage Loan Borrower to reasonably cooperate to provide the Directing Holder access for its own inspection of the Mortgaged Property or the books and other financial records. In addition, in response to the written request of the Directing Holder, the Lead Note Holder shall request that the officers of the Mortgage Loan Borrower and the accountants and other representatives of the Mortgage

(ii)               For each of the Holders, the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to interest and the amount of Prepayment Premiums and default interest paid under the Mortgage Loan Documents;

(iii)                If the distribution to the Holders is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Holders if there had been sufficient amounts available therefor, the amount of the shortfall and the allocation thereof between interest and principal and the amount of the shortfall, if any, under the Mortgage Loan;

(iv)                The principal balance and the Realized Losses relating to each of the Notes, after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such Remittance Date;

(v)               The amount of the servicing fees paid to the Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to such Remittance Date, showing separately the Servicing Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, any Workout Fee and any Liquidation Fee, and the amount of any fees payable to the paying agent; and

(vi)                Information regarding disputes affecting the Mortgage Loan Borrower and the Mortgaged Property and such other information as any Holder may reasonably request, to the extent reasonably available to the Trustee, the Servicer or the related Special Servicer, such costs, to the extent not included in the regular fees and charges of the Servicer, shall be reimbursed by the requesting party.

From and after the occurrence of the Lead Securitization Date, the Servicer shall deliver such reports to the Holders as are provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

(c)               Financial Statements Etc. The Lead Note Holder shall promptly provide (or make available to) the other Holders with copies of each financial statement and other statement and report delivered to the Lead Note Holder pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, upon the reasonable request of such other Holder, the Lead Note Holder shall also promptly deliver (or

34 

 

make available) to such other Holder, copies of any other documents relating to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, property inspection reports and loan servicing statements.

(d)               Copies. Any copies to be furnished by the Servicer under this Agreement may be furnished by hard copy or electronic means.

13.              Representations and Warranties of Each Initial Note Holder. Each of the Initial Note A-1 Holder, the Initial Note A-2 Holder and the Initial Note B Holder, as of the date hereof, hereby represents and warrants and covenants that:

(a)               It is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b)               The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement by it, will not violate its organizational documents or constitute a Default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a Default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or that is applicable to it or any of its assets, in each case which materially and adversely affect its ability to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)               It has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

(d)               This Agreement is its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, receivership, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(e)               Immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Initial Note Holder was the sole legal owner and Holder of its related Note, free and clear of any lien, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other adverse interest in the Mortgage Loan, and the Initial Note Holder has the right to enter into this Agreement without the consent of any third party.

(f)                Initial Note Holder is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local government or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Initial Note Holder’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Initial Note Holder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Initial Note Holder.

(g)               No litigation is pending with regard to which the Initial Note Holder has received service of process or, to the best of the Initial Note Holder’s knowledge, threatened against the Initial Note Holder the outcome of which, in the Initial Note Holder’s good faith and

35 

 

reasonable judgment is likely to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Initial Note Holder to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(h)               The Initial Note Holder has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)                 No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law (including, with respect to any bulk sale laws), for the execution delivery and performance of or compliance by the Initial Note Holder with this Agreement or the consummation by the Initial Note Holder of any transaction contemplated hereby, other than (i) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications, registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained or made and (ii) where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Initial Note Holder under this Agreement.

14.              Intentionally Omitted.

15.              Independent Analyses of the Initial Note B Holder. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the Initial Note B Holder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Initial Note A Holder and based on such documents and information as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made such Holder’s own credit analysis and decision to originate Note B. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Initial Note B Holder hereby acknowledges that the other Holders have not made any representations or warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and that the other Holders shall have no responsibility for (i) the collectability of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished to the Initial Note A Holder in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents or (iv) the financial condition of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Initial Note B Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with Note B, for reasons other than the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by the Initial Note A Holders or the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by any Servicer.

16.              No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the arrangement between the Note A Holders and the Note B Holder a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to the other Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or participation interests relating to any future loans originated by such Holder or its respective Affiliates, and if such Holder chooses to offer to the other Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or any participation interests in any future mortgage loans originated by such Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the other Holders any notes or participation interests in any future loans originated by the other Holder or its respective Affiliates.

36 

 

17.              Not a Security. None of Note A-1, Note A-2 or Note B shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

18.              Transfer of Notes.

(a)               The Note B Holder shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, sell, hypothecate, contribute, encumber, participate, sub participate or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) more than a 49% interest (in one or more transactions) in Note B, without first receiving Rating Agency Confirmation (and the Note B Holder shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lead Note Holder, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies and all reasonable documented costs and expenses (including internal costs and expenses) of the Servicer incurred in connection with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation); provided that prior to the Lead Securitization, in connection with a proposed Transfer of more than a 49% interest (in one or more transactions) in Note B, in lieu of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation, the Note B Holder shall obtain the prior written consent of the Lead Note Holder, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lead Note Holder; and, provided, further, that the Note B Holder may at any time or from time to time Transfer all or any portion of Note B, without the requirement of any Rating Agency Confirmation, or prior to a Securitization, the written consent of the Lead Note Holder, but subject to the conditions contained in the third succeeding sentence, to a Qualified Institutional Lender that provides to each Note A Holder certification in writing from an authorized officer that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender; and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Note B Holder Transfer Note B, or any portion thereof or interest therein to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party. Transfers of interests in Note B of 49% or less in the aggregate (in one or more transactions) shall not require prior consent or approval of each Note A Holder, any Servicer or any other Person, or Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency, provided that any such Transfer shall be made in accordance with the conditions in the second succeeding sentence. Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be required to present promptly to the Rating Agencies for the purpose of obtaining any Rating Agency Confirmation any application and material prepared by the applicable Note B Holder relating to a Transfer, but shall not be required to make a recommendation or prepare a case to the Rating Agencies in connection with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note B Holder agrees that each Transfer to be made by it under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 18 is subject to the following restrictions: (i) all such Transfers shall be made upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lead Note Holder, and (ii) a transferee shall (x) execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder with respect to Note B from and after the date of such assignment (or, in the case of a pledge, collateral assignment or other encumbrance by the Note B Holder of Note B, solely as security for a loan to the Note B Holder, made by a third-party lender whereby the Note B Holder remains fully liable under this Agreement, such third party lender executes an agreement that such lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder on and after the date on which such lender succeeds to the rights of the Note B Holder hereunder by foreclosure or otherwise) and (y) agree in writing to be bound by the Servicing Agreement, unless the Servicing Agreement is not then in effect with respect to

37 

 

the Mortgage Loan, in which event the parties will enter into or agree to be bound by any replacement servicing agreement therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 4. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of Note B, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to Note B (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing release shall not apply in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in Note B as described in clause (b) below) and the transferee shall be the Note B Holder with respect to Note B for all purposes hereunder with all of the rights, interests and obligations related thereto. The foregoing provision of this Section 18(a) shall not apply to a Transfer of Note B to the Lead Securitization Trust.

(b)               In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in Note B, (i) the transferring Note B Holder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the transferring Note B Holder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Note Holder shall continue to deal solely and directly with the transferring Note B Holder in connection with its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if the Note B Holder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender but not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party (and delivers to the Lead Note Holder a certification from an authorized officer confirming the foregoing status), then, the Note B Holder by written notice to the Lead Note Holder, may delegate to such participant the Note B Holder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Holder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement; provided, further, however, that upon the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Event, the aforesaid delegation of rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(c)               Each Note A Holder agrees that it shall not Transfer all or any portion of its respective A Note, except as follows: (i) to a Qualified Institutional Lender, (ii) to the Depositor, or any other Person designated by such Note A Holder to act as the depositor and/or any other Affiliate of such Note A Holder in connection with a Securitization or to the trustee in connection with a Securitization of the related A Note, (iii) to a purchaser upon a foreclosure, sale or other liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Property, as expressly provided in the Servicing Agreement or (iv) as otherwise expressly provided or contemplated by the Servicing Agreement. In addition, each Note A Holder may split its respective A Note into multiple participations without the consent of the Note B Holder or any other Person (it being understood that no participant shall be entitled to amounts other than what is allocated to the related A Note hereunder had such Note A Holder not participated its related A Note). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each A Note may not be Transferred to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party without the prior written consent of the Note B Holder and, following the Lead Securitization Date, a Rating Agency Confirmation (it being understood that any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such transfer following the Lead Securitization Date shall be borne by the related Note A Holder). Except with respect to the Transfer referred to in clause (ii) of the first sentence, any such Transfer shall be made upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Note B Holder.

38 

 

(d)               No Note A Holder shall give its consent to any action (whether through marketing, advertising, public disclosure or otherwise) that would result in potential investors becoming aware of any proposed Non-Lead Securitization until (i) the establishment of the time of the contract of sale for each purchaser of certificates for the Lead Securitization or (ii) the Lead Note Holder gives its consent to such marketing, advertising, disclosure or other related activity.

(e)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Note B Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) Note B or any interest therein to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party) which has extended a credit facility to the Note B Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with the Note B Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 18(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to the Note B Holder or any Affiliate which controls the Note B Holder that is secured by the Note B Holder’s interest in Note B and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 18 are complied with; provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to Note B after a Securitization without a Rating Agency Confirmation and no Note Pledgee may take title to Note B without satisfying the requirements for transfer set forth in this Section 18. Upon written notice, if any, by the Note B Holder to the Lead Note Holder that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the Lead Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the Note B Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Lead Note Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the Note B Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the Note B Holder in respect of its obligations to hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (if the Note B Holder had the right to consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination within 10 days after request therefor; (iv) that such Lead Note Holder shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the Note B Holder which the Note B Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by the Note B Holder; (v) that such Lead Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Lead Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to such Note A Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the Note B Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the Note B Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the Note B Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the Note B Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive

39 

 

any payments that any Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Note B Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. The Note B Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the Lead Note Holder from any liability to the Note B Holder on account of such Lead Note Holder’s (or Servicer’s) compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by the Lead Note Holder in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the Note B Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Lead Note Holder shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party) which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the Note B Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 18(e) shall remain effective as to the Lead Note Holder unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified the Lead Note Holder in writing that its interest in Note B has terminated.

19.              Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each of the Holders acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (“Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to the Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

20.              Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer.

(a)               Each of the Holders acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, the Controlling Holder’s rights under Section 21 hereof) and the Servicing Agreement, (i) the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee (if any) on its behalf) may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights that such Lead Note Holder (or such Servicer or Trustee (if any)) may have hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the other Holders, so long as such actions are in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the other terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Lead Note Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to the other Holders as a result of such Lead Note Holder’s (or any Servicer’s or Trustee’s) exercise of such rights or any omission by such Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee) to exercise such rights, except as expressly provided herein or for acts or omissions that are taken or omitted to be taken by such Lead Note Holder that constitute the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lead Note Holder or a breach of this Agreement, and (iii) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) service and administer the Mortgage Loan on behalf of each Note A Holder and the Note B Holder (as a collective whole) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of each Note A Holder and the Note B Holder; but in all cases giving due consideration to the fact that Note B is subject and subordinate to each A Note in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Note A Holder

40 

 

and the Note B Holder agree that the Servicer, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 21) and after the Lead Securitization Date subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, shall have the sole and exclusive authority (in each case, subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation the rights of the Controlling Holder) with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority (i) to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) to consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) to vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action and in all cases acting in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the other Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Note Holder’s or Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Note Holder and the Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has (i) to declare or cause the Lead Note Holder or the Servicer to declare an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan (ii) to exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Note Holder or the Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (iii) to vote any claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar type of proceeding of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as the Lead Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. Except when acting in the capacity of trustee or paying agent, the Lead Note Holder shall not have any fiduciary duty to the other Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan but shall in all events be obligated to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each Holder expressly and irrevocably waives for itself and any Person claiming through or under such Holder any and all rights that it may have under Section 1315 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law or the provisions of any similar law that purports to give a junior noteholder, mortgagee or loan participant the right to initiate any loan enforcement or foreclosure proceedings.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) of its rights under this Section 20 shall be subject in all respects to any sections of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action which would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents, be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or cause the arrangement evidenced hereby not to be treated as a “grantor trust” for Federal income tax purposes. The Lead Note Holder (or any

41 

 

Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall exercise such rights and powers described in this Section 20 on the understanding that the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall administer the Mortgage Loan in a manner consistent with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, provided that neither the Lead Note Holder nor any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf shall be liable to the other Holders with respect to anything the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) may do or omit to do in relation to the Mortgage Loan, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lead Note Holder and any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf may rely on the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other experts (including those retained by the Mortgage Loan Borrower) and upon any written communication or telephone conversation which the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) believes to be genuine and correct or to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.

(c)               If title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired for the benefit of the Holders in foreclosure, by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Lead Note Holder or its nominee (which shall not include any Servicer) on behalf of the Holders. The applicable Servicer, on behalf of the Holders, shall dispose of any REO Property utilizing reasonable best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to maximize the proceeds of such disposal to the Holders (as a collective whole) if and when such Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disposal would be in the best economic interest of the Holders (as a collective whole). The applicable Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(d)               The applicable Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as such Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Holders (as a collective whole) and, in connection therewith, such Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable to the Holders. The applicable Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”). The applicable Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one Business Day after receipt all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds, which shall be remitted to the Collection Account), and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Costs with respect to such REO Property, including:

(i)                all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any REO Property;

42 

 

(ii)               all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(iii)                all ground rents in respect of any REO Property (if applicable);

(iv)                all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property; and

(v)               to the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the applicable Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Holders of the necessity to take actions pursuant to this subsection (d), any expenditure associated with such actions taken by the applicable Servicer shall be payable by the Holders at their option pursuant to Section 9.

(e)               The applicable Servicer shall contract with an independent contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Holders and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within forty-five (45) days after the Holders’ acquisition thereof (unless the Holders approve otherwise), provided that:

(i)                the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii)               any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the independent contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the applicable Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof by such independent contractor;

(iii)                none of the provisions of this subsection (e) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such independent contractor shall be deemed to relieve the applicable Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Holders or the Lead Note Holder on behalf of the Holders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv)                the applicable Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

(f)                The applicable Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any independent contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of such Servicer by such independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. When and as necessary, the applicable Servicer shall send to the Holders a statement prepared by the applicable Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or

43 

 

rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting rents in respect of, any REO Property.

(g)               With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property which the applicable Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the applicable Servicer shall deliver to the Holders an officers’ certificate to the effect that, the applicable Servicer has determined to sell such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with this subsection (g). The applicable Servicer may then offer to sell to any Person the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which is in Default or the REO Property (and shall on a monthly basis advise the Holders in writing of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property) or, subject to the following sentence, purchase any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (in each case at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), but shall, in any event, so offer to sell any REO Property no later than the time determined by the applicable Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of such REO Property within the period specified in the REMIC Provisions. The applicable Servicer shall deliver such officers’ certificate and give the Holders not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, in which case the applicable Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price therefor, purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.

(h)               In the absence of any such offer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or purchase by the applicable Servicer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, such Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by such Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided that the Lead Note Holder (or the applicable Servicer, if the applicable Servicer or any Affiliate of the applicable Servicer is not an offeror) shall be entitled to engage, at the expense of the Holders, an Appraiser to determine whether the highest offer is a fair price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Mortgage Loan Borrower nor any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party may make an offer or purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(i)                 The applicable Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the applicable Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole. In addition, the applicable Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable), provided that the offeror is not the applicable Servicer or an Affiliate of the applicable Servicer. The applicable Servicer shall in no event sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property other than for cash.

(j)                 Subject to the other provisions of this Section 20, the applicable Servicer shall act on behalf of the Holders in negotiating and taking other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, any Servicer or any Holder, and, if such sale is consummated in accordance with the duties of the applicable Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, no such Person who so performed shall have any liability to any Holders with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the applicable Servicer.

(k)               The proceeds of any sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property after deduction of the direct out-of-pocket expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day following receipt thereof, deposited in the Collection Account. Within thirty (30) days after the sale of the REO Property, the applicable Servicer shall provide to the Holders a statement of accounting for such REO Property, including without limitation, (i) the date of disposition of the REO Property, (ii) the gross sales price, the selling and other expenses and the net sales price, (iii) accrued interest on the Note A Principal Balance at the applicable Note A Interest Rate, and on the Note B Principal Balance at the applicable Note B Interest Rate calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (iv) such other information as the Holders may reasonably request. The applicable Servicer shall file information returns regarding the abandonment or foreclosure of a Mortgaged Property with the Internal Revenue Service at the time and in the manner required by the Code.

(l)                 The provisions of subsections (c) through (k) of this Section 20 shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.

21.              Certain Powers of the Controlling Holder. The following provisions shall apply during the term of this Agreement:

(a)               The Controlling Holder shall be entitled to appoint (or act as) a “directing lender” (the “Directing Holder”) with respect to the Mortgage Loan and to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder and the Controlling Holder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement (such designation to be made by written notice to the Lead Note Holder); provided that if the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party owns any portion of Note B, the ownership interests of such Person shall be deemed to equal zero for the purposes of determining which owners can vote to elect the Directing Holder; and provided, further, that in no event may the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party serve as the Directing Holder. Such designation shall remain in effect until it is revoked by the Controlling Holder by a writing delivered to each of the other parties hereto.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to Section 21(d)), the Lead Note Holder shall, prior to taking any Major Decision, be required to notify in writing the Directing Holder of any proposal to take any of such actions (and to provide the Directing Holder with such information requested by such Directing Holder as may be

45 

 

necessary in the reasonable judgment of such Directing Holder in order to make a judgment) and to receive the written approval of the Directing Holder (which approval may be withheld in its sole discretion);

(c)               If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Lead Note Holder of its approval or disapproval of any such Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Directing Holder by the Lead Note Holder of written notice (“Action Notice”) of such a Major Decision together with any information requested by the Directing Holder pursuant to this Section 21(b) or Section 21(c), then if the Directing Holder fails to approve or reject the Major Decision within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Directing Holder’s approval will be deemed to have been given for such Major Decision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts funded by any Holder under the Mortgage Loan Documents as a result of (1) the making of any protective Advances or (2) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest) with respect to the Notes shall not at any time be deemed to require prior notice to the Directing Holder (except as otherwise expressly required by this Agreement) or otherwise contravene this subsection. To the extent the Mortgage Loan Borrower requests or the Servicer or Special Servicer structures, as part of a workout or otherwise, an extension of the Mortgage Loan for two or more years beyond the Maturity Date, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain the prior written consent of the Lead Note Holder (in the same manner as the Directing Holder) in addition to the consent of the Directing Holder. The provisions of Section 21(c) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.

(d)               With respect to any proposed action requiring consultation with or approval of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b), the Lead Note Holder shall prepare a summary of such proposed action and an analysis of whether or not such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth the basis on which the Lead Note Holder made such determination, and shall promptly provide to each Holder copies of such summary and any other material documents and items reasonably necessary to make such determination by hard copy or electronic means on a timely basis. If any such proposed action is disapproved by the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall propose an alternate action (based on any counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder, to the extent such counter-proposal is consistent with Section 21(d) or, if no such counter-proposal is received by the Servicer when the disapproval of the Directing Holder is delivered to the Servicer, then based on any alternate course of action that the Lead Note Holder may deem appropriate) until the approval of the Directing Holder is obtained; provided that if the Servicer and Directing Holder do not agree on a proposed course of action within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Servicer first proposed a course of action and the counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder would, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, be permitted to be ignored by the Special Servicer in accordance with clause (d) below), then after giving due consideration (subject to Section 21(d) hereof) to the alternatives and counterproposals, if any, provided by the Directing Holder the Lead Note Holder shall take such action as it deems appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (i) the Lead Note Holder determines that emergency action is necessary to protect a Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) at a time earlier than the time that such Servicer would otherwise be entitled to take such action pursuant to this Section 21(c) or otherwise under this Agreement and (ii) such

46 

 

action requires consultation with and/or consent of the Directing Holder, then it shall contact the Directing Holder (by telephone, email or fax) promptly and shall discuss (unless the Directing Holder shall fail to respond in a reasonable time frame under the circumstances) the proposed action with such Directing Holder and, if the consent of the Directing Holder would ordinarily be required, attempt to reach agreement within the revised time frame prior to taking the proposed action, but shall be entitled to take the necessary emergency action within the necessary time frame regardless of whether it has been able to contact or obtained the agreement of the Directing Holder. If such emergency action is taken, the Lead Note Holder will promptly notify the Directing Holder of the action so taken, the Servicer’s reasons for determining that immediate action was necessary and how the action differs from the proposed actions, if any, that had theretofore been approved by the Directing Holder. The provisions of Section 21(d) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.

(e)               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by this Section 21, or no advice, direction or objection, if any, from or by any Non-Controlling Holder, may (and the related Holder shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that such Holder (or Servicer on its behalf) has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause such Holder to violate applicable law, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or any section of this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, including such Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (B) result in the imposition of federal income tax on any Securitization Trust, cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, (C) expose any Securitization Trust, any certificateholder of any related Securitization, the Depositor or the depositor of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Holders, the Servicer, the Trustee or the trustee of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator or any certificate administrator of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Operating Advisor or the operating advisor of any Non-Lead Securitization or their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

(f)                No Controlling Holder or Directing Holder shall owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, any Servicer, any Special Servicer, any certificateholder in any Securitization, or the other Holders. No Controlling Holder or Directing Holder shall have any liability to any the Trustee, any Servicer, any Special Servicer, any certificateholder in any Securitization or the other Holders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Note in the Mortgage Loan, each Holder shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that (i) a Directing Holder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of the related Controlling Holder or its affiliates over the other Holder, (ii) a Controlling Holder may take or refrain from taking actions (or cause the related Directing Holder to take or refrain from taking actions) that favor its interest or the interests of its affiliates over the other Holder, (iii) that a Controlling Holder or Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interest of the other Holder and shall be deemed to have agreed to take no action against a Controlling Holder, a Directing Holder or any of their officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such a special relationships or conflicts, (iv) that no Controlling Holder shall be liable by reason

47 

 

of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its affiliates, and (v) that no Directing Holder shall be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in the interests of the related Controlling Holder or its affiliates.

(g)               The Directing Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any such replacement Special Servicer shall be a Qualified Servicer in accordance with this Section 21(g). The Directing Holder shall designate a Person to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to the Non-Controlling Holders, the Servicer and the then existing Special Servicer a written notice stating such designation and by satisfying the other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), and by delivering to any Holder that is a Non-Lead Securitization a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued in such Non-Lead Securitization. The Directing Holder shall promptly pay any expenses incurred by the Lead Note Holder in connection with such replacement. The Directing Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 21(g). The fees payable to any replacement Special Servicer contemplated in this Section 21(g) at any time, following the Lead Securitization, when the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement is no longer in effect, shall be at then market rates for such services. Upon the occurrence of the Lead Securitization governing the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, the initial Special Servicer designated in the applicable Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects the Non-Controlling Holder, the Non-Controlling Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization, the Controlling Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Controlling Holder and the Non-Controlling Holder acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at the Non-Controlling Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Controlling Holder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions such that the Special Servicer could be terminated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with Accepted Servicing Practices and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of certificates issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificate holders is obtained. The Controlling Holder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Holder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

48 

 

(h)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Note B Holder of notice indicating that the Note B Holder is no longer the Controlling Holder, the Note B Holder may, at its option, post with the Lead Note Holder (a) cash collateral for the benefit of, and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Note Holder or (b) a Letter of Credit (in each case, if there has been a Securitization, together with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Lead Note Holder to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Securitization in such collateral) (to be held by the Lead Note Holder in a segregated securities account solely and exclusively in the name of each Note A Holder, meeting the Rating Agency criteria for an “eligible account” on behalf of each Note A Holder) in an amount which, when added to and for this purpose considered a part of the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, will cause the Note B Holder to remain the Controlling Holder (such cash or Letter of Credit, “Reserve Collateral”). The Note B Holder may make such election upon written notice to the Lead Note Holder of its intention to post Reserve Collateral, and upon notifying the Lead Note Holder of such intention, the Note B Holder shall post such Reserve Collateral as quickly as practicable (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of the above notice) by delivering such Reserve Collateral to the Lead Note Holder. The Note B Holder shall grant to and create in favor of each Note A Holder a first priority perfected pledge and security interest in the Reserve Collateral in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Note Holder. The Note B Holder shall provide an opinion to the Lead Note Holder, in form and substance and from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lead Note Holder, regarding the validity, perfection and priority of each Note A Holder’s interest in any Reserve Collateral. In addition, the Note B Holder shall pay or cause to be paid any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Note A Holder (and any servicing party on its behalf) associated with the delivery and/or pledge of such Reserve Collateral, including the costs and expenses of any opinion of counsel. Upon the posting of such Reserve Collateral and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth above, the Note B Holder may exercise all of the rights of the Controlling Holder hereunder; provided, however, that such posting of such collateral and such satisfaction of conditions will not prevent the Note B Holder from losing its status as the Controlling Holder again (provided that such collateral shall be taken into account in determining the Mortgaged Properties’ value when calculating whether the Note B Holder is the Controlling Holder), in which event the foregoing provisions of this paragraph will not again apply and the Note B Holder may not again post Reserve Collateral. Any Reserve Collateral must be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) will be beneficially owned by the Note B Holder, who will be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The provisions of Section 21(h) will be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

(i)                 Following a Final Recovery Determination with respect to the Mortgage Loan and application of all proceeds of the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, a Mortgaged Property or any REO Property, the Lead Note Holder may draw on or liquidate the Reserve Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof to reimburse each Note A Holder for any Trust Fund Expense or Realized Loss borne or experienced by each Note A Holder, plus interest thereon from the date such Trust Fund Expenses or Realized Loss was borne or experienced to the date of reimbursement. Within ten (10) Business Days following such Final Recovery Determination and application, the Lead Note Holder shall pay any remaining portion of such proceeds of the

49 

 

Reserve Collateral to the Note B Holder. The provisions of Section 21(i) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

(j)                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Letter of Credit is posted as Reserve Collateral, then Note B Holder shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Lead Note Holder and each of such Rating Agencies (i) at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the expiration of the delivered Letter of Credit, and (ii) if the issuer of such Letter of Credit is at any time not an Approved Bank, within five (5) Business Days following written notice from the Lead Note Holder to such effect. If the Note B Holder does not effect such a replacement within the periods set forth in the preceding sentence, the Lead Note Holder shall be entitled immediately thereupon to draw on such Letter of Credit to the full extent of the amount then remaining available thereunder, in which case the Lead Note Holder shall hold the proceeds of such draw as Reserve Collateral and may hold and apply such Reserve Collateral in the manner and for the purposes otherwise set forth above and below. The provisions of Section 21(j) will be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.

22.              Further Assurances. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that each Holder may sell all or any portion of its respective Note, subject to the rights of the other Holders and the terms of this Agreement, and the related Mortgage Loan Documents in connection with the related Securitization. At the request and at the sole cost and expense of a requesting Holder, and to the extent not already required to be provided by the other Holders under this Agreement, each Holder shall reasonably cooperate with such requesting Holder and take such steps as may be reasonably required by such requesting Holder or any Rating Agency in order to satisfy the market standards to which the requesting Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the related Securitization. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, each Holder’s agreement to:

(a)               execute such amendments to this Agreement as may be requested by the requesting Holder or the Rating Agencies to effect the related Securitization, provided that no such amendments shall materially and adversely affect any of the rights or remedies granted to the Note B Holder hereunder (including, without limitation, the timing and amount of payment and the rights granted to a “Controlling Holder” or “Directing Holder”) or increase the obligations of such Holder hereunder;

(b)               cooperate with the reasonable requests from third-party service providers engaged by the requesting Holder to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by such Note A Holder or the Rating Agencies in connection with the Holders, the Notes or the Mortgage Loan; and

(c)               execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents to further sever the Notes.

No Holder shall take any action or refrain from taking any action that would violate any law of any applicable jurisdiction, would be inconsistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices or would violate the REMIC Provisions of the Servicing Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement.

50 

 

23.              Intentionally Omitted.

24.              No Pledge or Loan. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by the Note A Holders to the Note B Holder, or a loan from the Note B Holder to the Note A Holders. The Note B Holder shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied in respect of payments due under the Mortgage Loan, then the Note B Holder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement. The Holders acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Loan represents a single “claim” under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that the Note B Holder shall not be a separate creditor of the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code.

25.              Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

26.              Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. The party seeking modification of this Agreement shall be solely responsible for any and all reasonable expenses that may arise in order to modify this Agreement. Additionally, from and after a Securitization, the Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving (i) an opinion of counsel experienced in REMIC matters that such amendment or modification, in and of itself, would not adversely affect the REMIC status of the Mortgage Loan or this Agreement, and (ii) a Rating Agency Confirmation, except that no Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (x) prior to the Lead Securitization Date, (y) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Servicing Agreement, or (z) to make other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) if such modification, cancellation or termination would adversely affect the rights or materially affect the duties of any Servicer or Trustee, the written consent of such affected party.

27.              Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no successors or assigns of any Initial Note A Holder shall have any liability for a breach of representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement (including Exhibit C). Each Servicer and Trustee (if any) is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 8 and the preceding sentence, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto or a successor or assign of a party hereto.

31.              Note Holder’s Access to Information. The Lead Note Holder shall provide to the other Holders and, after the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that such other Holders shall have access to, upon written request to the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subject to any restrictions on the distribution of such information contained in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (a) a summary of the current status of principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan, (b) copies of the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s current financial statements, to the extent in the Servicer’s possession, (c) the most recent appraisal, if any, as to the value of the Mortgaged Property, to the extent in the Servicer’s possession, (d) a copy of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (e) copies of any Default or acceleration notices sent to the Mortgage Loan Borrower with respect to the Mortgage Loan and all material correspondence related thereto, (f) material notices delivered to any Servicer by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (g) copies of each other report provided to the Certificateholders in accordance with the express terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (but only to the extent such other reports relate to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower), and (h) other information with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Mortgage Loan, reasonably requested by such other Holder, to the extent required to be provided by the Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and in the Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Servicer, in each case at the sole cost and expense of such other Holder, to the extent not included in the regular fees and charges of the Servicer, (with respect to all out-of-pocket and the reasonable administrative and photocopying costs of the Servicer).

The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note A-2) will be held by the Lead Note Holder on behalf of each of the other Holders, or, following the Lead Securitization Date, shall be held by the Servicer, Trustee or custodian on its behalf, or other applicable Person under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

52 

 

33.              Statement of Intent. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income, this Agreement shall be treated as a grantor trust. The terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted to further this intention of the parties. The parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Lead Note Holder shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with such intended characterization. Each other Holders, by its acceptance of its interest herein, agrees, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, to file its own tax returns and reports in a manner consistent with such characterization. If the Internal Revenue Service were to characterize this Agreement as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, then each such other Holders authorizes and directs the Lead Note Holder to elect out of partnership accounting pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.761-2, and agrees to file its own tax returns and reports in a manner consistent therewith.

34.              Powers. Except as expressly provided herein, the grantor trust created pursuant to this Agreement will not engage in any activity that is inconsistent with the classification of this arrangement as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. Further, this grantor trust shall not (a) acquire any additional assets or (b) modify (or agree to the modification of) or dispose of its assets other than pursuant to the terms hereof. The grantor trust shall take no action (or fail to take any action) that will cause it to be classified as other than a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes.

35.              Servicing of the Loan. Pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer (whose identity may change from time to time as provided in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement) will be appointed as the servicer of the Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer will be appointed as the special servicer of the Mortgage Loan. The parties agree that the Servicers shall service the Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Holders. Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Note Holder shall have the right to appoint and remove the Interim Servicer with or without cause under this Agreement and from and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Note Holder shall have the right to appoint and remove the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Note Holder has appointed KeyBank National Association to serve as the initial Interim Servicer. All rights and obligations of the Lead Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer (except as set forth in the preceding sentence) and, to the extent applicable, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the paying agent on behalf of the Lead Note Holder and the other Holders agree to cooperate with any such Persons with respect to its exercise of such rights and obligations.

36.              Registration of Transfers. The Lead Note Holder shall maintain a register on which it shall record the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by any other Holders. Any transfer of a Note hereunder shall be recorded on such register. The transferring Holder (or the transferee) shall reimburse the Lead Note Holder for the Lead Note Holder’s reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the terms of this Section 36.

53 

 

37.              Non-Recourse Obligations of the Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or the Servicing Agreement (but subject to Section 10 and Section 40 hereof), no Holder shall be personally liable hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement other than to the extent of cash, property or other value realized or derived from its Note either (i) prior to its disbursement and receipt by the Holder or (ii) after its receipt by the Holder under the circumstances and to the extent provided under Section 8(b) hereof.

38.              Termination. This Agreement and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the parties hereto shall terminate upon (a) mutual agreement by the parties hereto, evidenced in writing; (b) thirty (30) days after each of the Notes is paid in full; or (c) payment (or provision for payment) to the Holders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Servicer and required under the Servicing Agreement, to be so paid on the last Remittance Date following final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Properties; provided, however, that in no event shall the arrangement created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

39.              Withholding Taxes.

(a)               If the Lead Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower is required by law to deduct and withhold taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the other Holders with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Servicer may do so with respect to such Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Holder), provided that the Servicer shall furnish such Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Holder is subject to tax.

(b)               Each Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) against and hold the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) harmless from and against any taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to withhold taxes from payment made to such Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Holder to the Lead Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to withhold taxes from payments made to such Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Note Holder may accept and rely on any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Holder shall, upon request of the Lead Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Note Holder.

(c)               Each Holder represents to the Lead Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Holder shall deliver to the Lead Note Holder evidence satisfactory to the Lead Note Holder substantiating that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (a) if a Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (b) if a Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN, as applicable, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Holder, as evidence of such Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to each other Holder in respect of its Note or otherwise until such Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Note Holder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

40.              Cooperation in Securitization; Re-Sizing of A Note; Provisions Relating to Securitization.

(a)               In connection with the Lead Securitization or any Non-Lead Securitization, Note B Holder hereby consents to the inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization of the identity of the Note B Holder and the identification of other Persons that control Note B (other than the identification of its limited partners or other non-controlling investors). The Note B Holder covenants and agrees that in the event any A Note is to be included as an asset of the Lead Securitization or any Non-Lead Securitization, the Note B Holder shall, at the related Initial Note A Holder’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by the Note B Holder) and request, (i) meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies to discuss the business and operations of the Note B Holder, (ii) cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Initial Note A Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization, as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and (iii) review and respond promptly with respect to any information (except as permitted above) relating to the Note B Holder in the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization document.

(b)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as Column or any affiliate of Column (an “Initial Holder”) is the owner of an A Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such Initial Holder shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes

55 

 

or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of an Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing an Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of such Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Initial Holder holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate Accepted Servicing Practices. If the Lead Note Holder so requests, the Initial Holder holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes as so modified. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to clauses (i) through (iv), as certified by the applicable Initial Holder, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal.

(c)               The Lead Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that it shall cause the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to provide that (and, to the extent such provisions are not included in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement they shall be deemed incorporated therein and made a part thereof):

(i)                the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee for such Lead Securitization shall be required to notify the master servicer, special servicer and trustee under each Non-Lead Servicing Agreement of the amount of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to any of Note A-1 or Note B or Property Advances it has made with respect to the Mortgaged Properties within two Business Days of making any such advance;

(ii)               if the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance or Property Advance, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance or Property Advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a “nonrecoverable advance,” the Master Servicer shall provide the servicers under any Non-Lead Servicing Agreement written notice of such determination within two Business Days after such determination was made;

(iii)                the Master Servicer shall remit all payments received during the related Collection Period with respect to Note A-2, net of the Servicing Fee payable with respect to each such Note, and any other applicable fees and reimbursements payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, to the Holders of such Notes on or prior to the Remittance Date;

56 

 

(iv)                on a monthly basis, with respect to each other Note that is held by a Non-Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall make available CREFC® Reports (except the CREFC® Bond Level File, the CREFC® Collateral Summary File, the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File, the CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheet) available pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(v)               the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall provide to the Holder of Note A-2 all documents, certificates, instruments, notices, reports, operating statements, rent rolls and other information regarding the Mortgage Loan provided to the “Controlling Class Representative” (or analogous term) as such term is defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement at the time provided to such other party;

(vi)                the servicing duties of each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall include the duty to service the Mortgage Loan and all of the Notes on behalf of the Holders (including the respective trustees and certificateholders) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices;

(vii)               the Holder of Note A-2 shall be entitled to the same indemnity with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Lead Note Holder and Note B is provided with respect to the Mortgage Loan under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; the Master Servicer, any primary servicer, the Special Servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator and operating advisor shall be required to indemnify each “certification party” and the depositors under each Non-Lead Servicing Agreement related to any public Non-Lead Securitization to the same extent that they indemnify the Lead Securitization “certification party” and depositor for their failure to deliver the items in clause (viii) below in a timely manner and for any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any similar term thereto) regarding, and delivered by or on behalf of, such party;

(viii)                with respect to any Non-Lead Securitization that is subject to following reporting requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including Rule 15Ga-1), as amended, and Regulation AB, (a) the Master Servicer, any primary servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, certificate administrator or other party acting as custodian under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall be required to (1) deliver (and shall be required to cause each other servicer and servicing function participant (within the meaning of Items 1123 and 1122, respectively, of Regulation AB) retained or engaged by it to deliver), in a timely manner, the reports, certifications, compliance statements, accountants’ assessments and attestations, information to be included in reports (including, without limitation, Form 15G, Form 10K, Form 10D, Form 8K), and other materials specified in each of the Non-Lead Servicing Agreements as the parties to the applicable Non-Lead Securitization may require in order to comply with their obligations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including Rule 15Ga-1), as amended, and Regulation AB, and any other applicable law, and (2) to the extent applicable, to

57 

 

cooperate with any depositor in a Non-Lead Securitization in responding to comments from the Commission regarding any materials provided by such party in the immediately preceding clause (1), and (b) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor for the Lead Securitization shall provide in a timely manner to the depositor and the trustee for any Non-Lead Securitization a copy of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Trustee, certificate administrator or other party acting as custodian for the Lead Securitization will be required to provide to the depositor, at the expense of the requesting party, and the trustee for any Non-Lead Securitization, any other disclosure information required pursuant to Regulation AB or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in a timely manner for inclusion in any disclosure document or Form 8-K filing and market indemnification agreements, opinions and Regulation AB compliance letters as were or are being delivered with respect to the Lead Securitization. As used in this Agreement, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100-229.1125, as such may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been provided by the Commission or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein. “Commission” means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Master Servicer, any primary servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be required to provide certification and indemnification to any Certifying Person (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) with respect to any applicable Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (or analogous terms) as such terms are defined in the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;

(ix)                each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the custodian and the Trustee and each Other Exchange Act Reporting Party (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall cooperate (and require each Servicing Function Participant (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and Additional Servicer (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) retained by it to cooperate under any applicable sub-servicing agreement), with each depositor for a Non-Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, providing all due diligence information, reports, written responses, negotiations and coordination, and paying all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith) to the same extent as such party is required to cooperate with (and pay the expenses of) the Depositor under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with Deficient Exchange Act Deliverables (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement);

(x)               with respect to each Non-Lead Note, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the related Collection Account and remit to the related Holders of such Notes (or, if securitized, the related master servicer of any applicable Non-Lead Securitization), within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, any amounts that represent late collections on such Note (exclusive of any portion of such amount payable or reimbursable to any third party in accordance with this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), unless such amount would otherwise be included in the monthly remittance to the Holder of such Note for such month, provided, however, to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on any

58 

 

given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such late collections to the Holder of such Note or to the master servicer of any applicable Non-Lead Securitization, as applicable, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds;

(xi)                the Non-Lead A Note Holders are each an intended third-party beneficiary in respect of the rights afforded it under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and the non-lead master servicers will be entitled to enforce the rights of the Non-Lead A Note Holders under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

(xii)               each master servicer and special servicer under any Non-Lead Servicing Agreement shall be a third-party beneficiary of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to all provisions therein expressly relating to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification of such master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, and the provisions regarding coordination of advances made in respect of any Note under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable;

(xiii)                if the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the Special Servicer determines to sell Note A-1, Note A-2 and Note B in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, it shall have the right and the obligation to sell all of the Notes as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each Non-Controlling Holder of the planned sale and of such Non-Controlling Holder’s opportunity to bid on the Mortgage Loan;

(xiv)                the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that adversely affects a Non-Lead A Note Holder without the consent of such Holder;

(xv)               to the extent related to the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, Rating Agency Confirmation shall be provided with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization certificates to the same extent provided with respect to the certificates issued in connection with the Lead Securitization;

Section 2.Servicing of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced from and after the Securitization Date by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to advance monthly payments of principal or interest in respect of any Note other than the Lead Securitization Note (unless such other Note is also included in the Lead Securitization) if such principal or interest is not paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower but shall be obligated to make Servicing Advances, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided further that the Special Servicer, when appointed, has the Required Special Servicer Rating from each Rating Agency then rating a Securitization. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (i) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of any Securitization Trust, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) generally required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the issuance of ratings in securitizations similar to the Securitizations. Each Note Holder acknowledges that each other Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization and agrees that it will, subject to Section 26 hereof, reasonably cooperate with such other Note Holder, at such other Note Holder’s expense, to effect such Securitization. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Note Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the appointment of the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and the appointment of the Special Servicer by the Controlling Note Holder and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder hereby appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee in the Lead Securitization as such Note Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of such Note Holder set forth herein and in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement). In no event shall the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement require any Servicer to enforce the rights of any Note Holder against any other Note Holder or limit a Servicer in enforcing the rights of one Note Holder against any other Note Holder; however, this statement shall not be construed to otherwise limit the rights of one Note Holder with respect to any other Note Holder. Each Servicer shall be required pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and applicable law, shall provide information to each servicer under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to enable each such servicer to perform its servicing duties, and shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action or follow any direction inconsistent with the foregoing.

-15- 

At any time after the First Securitization that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Note Holders agree to cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced by one or more servicers, each of which has been agreed upon by the Note Holders, pursuant to a servicing agreement that has servicing terms substantially similar to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and all references herein to the “Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement; provided, that if a Non-Lead Securitization Note is in a Securitization, then a Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been obtained from each other Rating Agency with respect to any such Non-Lead Securitization Note regarding any Special Servicer to be appointed under such replacement servicing agreement that does not have the Required Special Servicer Rating for such Rating Agency or, with respect to the Master Servicer, would not otherwise meet the conditions to be a servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement that is being replaced; provided, further, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as if such agreement were still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, by the Servicers in the Lead Securitization or by any Person appointed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder that is a Person meeting the requirements of a master servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and, in the case of the Special Servicer, that meets the Required Special Servicer Rating for each Rating Agency then rating securities of a Non-Lead Securitization.

(b)The Master Servicer shall be the lead master servicer on the Mortgage Loan, and from time to time it (or the Trustee or the Special Servicer, to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall make the following advances, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement: (i) Servicing Advances on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization Note. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for a Servicing Advance, first from funds on deposit in the Collection Account and/or the Companion Distribution Account for the Mortgage Loan that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and then, in the case of Nonrecoverable Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for Advance Interest on a Servicing Advance (including any Nonrecoverable Advance), in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement of a Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or any Advance Interest on a Servicing Advance (including any Nonrecoverable Advance), each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Securitization Trust into which a Non-Lead Securitization Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Advance Interest.

Any Non-Lead Master Servicer (or if not made by such Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Trustee) may be required to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the related servicing agreement for the related Securitization (each such agreement, a “Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement”) and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall each be entitled to make its own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Note based on the information that it has on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer and Non-Lead Trustee under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in

The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two Business Days of making such advance.

Each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, a Non-Lead Master Servicer and a Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance that becomes non-recoverable first from the Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Note for which such P&I Advance was made, and then, if funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of the Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of a Non-Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Securitization Trust that owns such Non-Lead Securitization Note, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(ii)give each other Note Holder written notice in a timely manner (but no later than one (1) business day prior to the applicable filing date) of any re-filing (other than a filing made in connection with a formal amendment of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by the Depositor of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement subsequent to the Securitization Date if such filing contains revisions or changes that are material to the other Note Holders.

(d)Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that, if the related Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, it shall cause the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions to the effect that:

(i)such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Nonrecoverable Advances relating to Servicing Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) and any additional expenses of the Trust Fund, but only to the extent that such expenses relate to servicing and administration of the Notes, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Notes, and that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account or Collection Account in respect of the Mortgage Loan, as applicable, are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such

-23- 

Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Advances and/or additional expenses of the Trust Fund;

(ii)each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by each Securitization Trust holding a Non-Lead Securitization Note, against any of the Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may include limitations and conditions on the payment or reimbursement of Indemnified Items to the Operating Advisor (including limitations and conditions with respect to the timing of such payments or reimbursements and the sources of funds for such payments or reimbursements);

(iii)the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, related Non-Lead Trustee or certificate administrator under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor (i) promptly following Securitization of such Non-Lead Securitization Note, notice of the deposit of such Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice shall also provide contact information for the related Non-Lead Trustee, the related certificate administrator, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, the related Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the related “Non-Controlling Note Holder” and “Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder” under this Agreement), accompanied by a certified copy of the related executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the related “Non-Controlling Note Holder” or “Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information); and

(iv)the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

(e)Prior to the Securitization of a Non-Lead Securitization Note (including any New Note), all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) only need to be delivered to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative) and, when so delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative, as applicable), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to

-24- 

such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Following the Securitization of a Non-Lead Securitization Note (including any New Note), as applicable, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and Non-Lead Special Servicer (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such Non-Lead Master Servicer and such Non-Lead Special Servicer, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (except where required by this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to deliver items directly to a Non-Lead Depositor or other party to a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for purposes of compliance with securities laws).

(f)The Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that, if a Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, and such Non-Lead Securitization is subject to reporting requirements under Regulation AB, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be required to reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan by providing any documents reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or other requesting party in connection with the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations, but only to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, but in any event excluding any documents known to such the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian to contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or Initial Note Holders or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian actually incurred in connection with their compliance with such requests shall be reimbursable by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or, if not paid by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder.

Section 3.Priority of Payments.

(a)Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Periodic Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the

-25- 

Mortgage Loan Documents) shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis; provided, that (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Servicing Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall be applied to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer, with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any other compensation payable to it thereunder (including without limitation, any additional expenses of the Trust Fund relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to the second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) reimbursable to, or payable by, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees and Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph) but excluding (i) any P&I Advances (and interest thereon) on the Lead Securitization Note, which shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, and (ii) any Master Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of the Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of that portion of such servicing fees calculated at the “primary servicing fee rate” applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, which such excess shall not be subject to the allocation provisions of this Section 3) shall be payable in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional expenses of the Trust Fund (including, if not paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, shall be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Any proceeds received from the sale of the primary servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be remitted, promptly upon receipt thereof, to the Note Holders on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis. Any proceeds received by any Note Holder from the sale of master servicing rights with respect to its Note shall be for its own account.

Section 4.Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the

-26- 

Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.

Section 5.Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person. Absent an offer at

-27- 

least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer from an Interested Person received represents a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) conducted in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained within the prior nine (9) months pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the related Non-Lead Securitization Note is held by a Borrower Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder that are material to the sale price of the Mortgage Loan and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, however, that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Controlling Note Holders and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representatives shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is a Borrower Party).

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports

-28- 

and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person.

Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the related Non-Lead Securitization Note. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the original related Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Notes upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the Initial Note Holder from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Initial Note Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by the related Initial Note Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by such Initial Note Holder or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Initial Note Holder under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Initial Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each Note Holder. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may

-29- 

materially and adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is a Borrower Party) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event or effectively equivalent period) with respect to any Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event or effectively equivalent period, but subject to any limitations in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement regarding providing such information to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or those who have certain relationships with the Mortgage Loan Borrower) and (ii) to consult with each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the

-30- 

aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) annual meetings with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and the other is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6.Rights of the Controlling Note Holder and Non-Controlling Note Holders.

(a)The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment (and such parties will be entitled to rely on such notice), an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative.

Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder, in such capacity, will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative or Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of other Note Holders and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement on the part of the Controlling Note Holder

-32- 

Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, acting in such capacity, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

(b)Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative (other than a Borrower Party) in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder (if it is not the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; provided, that each Initial Note Holder shall be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon. The Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative with respect to the Non-Controlling Note, as of the date of this Agreement and until the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) is notified otherwise, shall be the Initial Note A-2 Holder.

(c)The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Holder,” “Controlling Class Certificateholder,” “Controlling Class Representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to the Mortgage Loan if it is a “Specially Serviced Loan” (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below, (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Major Decision as to which the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer, as

may be necessary in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.

If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response.

No objection, consent, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may, and neither the Master Servicer nor Special Servicer shall take any action that would (i) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC Provisions or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes, (iii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement does not provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, (iv) materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, under this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the conditions and requirements set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made

-34- 

by delivering to the other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, but only if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), and delivering to each Non-Controlling Note Holder a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued and outstanding under the related Securitization if such replacement Special Servicer does not meet the Required Special Servicer Rating with respect to those Rating Agencies rating the securities of any Securitization related to a Non-Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the Non-Controlling Note Holders of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects a Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Note Holders acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Upon the occurrence of such a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer that affects a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall, upon the direction of the affected Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, require the appointment of a subservicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Non-Controlling Note Holder that directs the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 8.Payment Procedure.

(a)The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments

-35- 

allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account and/or Companion Distribution Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days after receipt by it of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

(b)If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(d)Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. A Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement.

-36- 

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with such Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 10.Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 11.Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such

-37- 

enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12.No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates and if the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses to offer to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the Lead Securitization Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13.Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, a Borrower Party, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to any such party and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14.Sale of the Notes.

(a)Except as contemplated by the second following sentence, each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after the Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Securitization Trust), the non-transferring Note Holder(s) shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a

-38- 

Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating the securities of such Securitization Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, until a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer made without the prior consent of the non-transferring Note Holder and Rating Agency Confirmation (if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust), shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, transfers of any securities backed by a Note held in a Securitization Trust will not be subject to the foregoing requirement and such transfers shall be governed by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of the non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes together, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

(b)In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or

-39- 

better by each Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent or higher rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to any other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to any other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. A Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than a Borrower Party that is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified

-40- 

any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 15.Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing

-41- 

agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and the other Note Holders against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16.Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

(b)CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH

-42- 

OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 18.Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating any securities of any Securitization; provided that no such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, to make provisions in this Agreement consistent with other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 32).

Section 19.Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided herein, including without limitation, with respect to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer and Special Servicer and the Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, each Note Holder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Note Holder hereunder.

Section 20.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 21.Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 22.Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

-43- 

Section 23.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 24.Withholding Taxes. (a)(a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

(b)Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(c)Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums

Section 30.Reserved.

Section 31.Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. WFB, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of a Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of WFB or the master servicer of the First Securitization, as applicable, without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and

-47- 

any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

Section 32.Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as any Note Holder or an affiliate thereof (each, an “Original Entity”) is the owner of a Note that is not included in a Securitization (each, an “Owned Note”), such Original Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing the Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of the other Notes. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (iv) above are satisfied), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall (a) represent that the conditions set forth in (i) through (iv) have been satisfied and/or (b) deliver a confirmation of the continued applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes. If the Controlling Note is involved in any resizing contemplated by this Section 32, the applicable Note Holder shall be entitled to designate any one of the related New Notes as the Controlling Note, and the definitions of “Controlling Note” and “Controlling Note Holder” shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly. Any New Note that is created in a resizing contemplated by this Section 32 and that is not the Controlling Note shall be deemed to be a Non-Controlling Note under this Agreement, the definitions of “Non-Controlling Note” and “Non-Controlling Note Holder” shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly to include such New Notes, and the applicable Note Holders of such Non-Controlling Notes shall have the same rights and responsibilities as all other Non-Controlling Note Holders.

(j)tenth, if the proceeds of any foreclosure sale or any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property exceed the amounts required to be applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a)-(i), such excess amount shall be paid to the Note B Holder in an amount up to the aggregate of unreimbursed Realized Principal Losses previously allocated to the Note B Holder in accordance with the terms of Section 5, plus interest on such amount at the related Note B Rate;

(k)eleventh, to the Senior Noteholders on a Pro rata and Pari Passu Basis, accrued and unpaid default interest on the Senior Notes at the default rate;

(l)twelfth, to the Note B Holder, accrued and unpaid default interest on the Note B at the default rate;

-30- 

(m) thirteenth, to the extent assumption or transfer fees actually paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower are not required to be otherwise applied under the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, to provide reimbursement for interest on any Advances, to pay any Additional Servicing Expenses or to compensate a Servicer (in each case provided that such reimbursements or payments relate to the Mortgage Loan), any such assumption or transfer fees, to the extent actually paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, shall be paid to the Noteholders, pro rata based on their respective initial Percentage Interests; and

(n)fourteenth, if any excess amount is available to be distributed in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and not otherwise applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a)-(k), any remaining amount shall be paid pro rata to the Noteholders in accordance with their respective initial Percentage Interests.

Penalty Charges paid on the Senior Notes pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 hereunder, shall be allocated to each Senior Noteholder on a Pro rata and Pari Passu Basis and applied first, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on the Senior Notes by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances in accordance with the terms of the Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the respective amounts payable on Senior Notes by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Notes by such party (if and as specified in the Securitization Servicing Agreement or any Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on the Senior Notes by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 hereunder, to be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 5.Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy and no other Noteholder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below), each Noteholder (other than the Lead Securitization Noteholder) agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that such

-31- 

Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any other Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein). Without limiting the foregoing, each Note A Holder acknowledges that the Note B Holder owes such Noteholder no fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Note A Holder with respect to any action taken by the Note B Holder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

Subject to Section 11 and Section 12 hereof, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, each Senior Noteholder (other than the Lead Securitization Noteholder) hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) to sell the Senior Notes as notes evidencing one whole senior note in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and the right (but not the obligation) of the Lead Securitization to sell all of the Notes together as one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall sell the Senior Notes in the manner set forth in the Servicing Agreement and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. Whether any cash offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the Senior Notes shall be determined by the Trustee; provided, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two bona fide other offers are received from Independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for the Senior Notes, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for the Senior Notes, the Trustee shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Senior Notes, the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Holders in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not be permitted to sell any Non-Controlling Pari Passu Note as described above without the written consent of the related Non-Controlling Pari Passu Noteholder (provided that such consent is not required of any Non-Controlling Pari Passu Noteholder that is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Controlling Pari Passu Noteholder: (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Senior Notes; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy

-32- 

of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by such Non-Controlling Pari Passu Noteholder that are material to the price of the Senior Notes and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to the other offerors and the Controlling Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that any Non-Controlling Pari Passu Noteholder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence that are applicable to it. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, each of the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Class Representative, each Non-Controlling Noteholder (or any controlling class representative or directing holder on its behalf under a related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Senior Notes unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower, a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party or an agent of any of the foregoing.

Each Senior Noteholder (other than the Lead Securitization Noteholder) hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Note. Each such Senior Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, such Senior Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its original Note endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell the Senior Notes, and the obligations of each other Senior Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the related Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the initial Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the related Securitization mortgage loan seller) from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by the such Noteholder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or in connection with a material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by the such Noteholder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Senior Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the initial Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the related Securitization mortgage loan seller) or any document delivery obligation imposed on the such Noteholder under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Noteholder in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement; provided that to the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Each Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement (except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement). The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the

-33- 

Servicing Standard, including without limitation, the rights of the Note B Holder set forth in Section 5(f) below. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and subject to the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of all of the Noteholders as a collective whole (it being understood that the interest of the Note B Holder is a junior Note interest, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder or Note B Holder who is not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative to exercise their respective rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5(f) and 6), if the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate or scheduled amortization payments on the Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on the Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Interest Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Senior Noteholders pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4, as applicable, shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of the Senior Notes remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, and Note B shall bear the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout (up to the amount otherwise due on Note B). Subject to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 5(f) and 6), in the case of any modification or amendment described above, the Lead Securitization Noteholder will have the sole authority and ability to revise the payment provisions set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 above in a manner that reflects the subordination of Note B to the Senior Notes with respect to the loss that is the result of such amendment or modification, including: (i) the ability to increase the Percentage Interests of the Senior Notes and to reduce the Percentage Interest of Note B in a manner that reflects a loss in principal as a result of such amendment or modification and (ii) the ability to change the Note A Rate and the Note B Rate, as applicable, in order to reflect a reduction in the Interest Rate of the Mortgage Loan but shall not be permitted to change the order of the clauses set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Workout, modification or amendment of the Mortgage Loan extends the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan, for purposes of this paragraph, the Balloon Payment will be deemed not to be due on the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan but will be deemed due on the extended maturity date of the Mortgage Loan.

(d)All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

-34- 

(e) If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall each qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Noteholders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Noteholders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Noteholders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the Lead Securitization Note (or any portion thereof). The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne solely by the Senior Noteholders on a pro rata and pari passu basis, and the Note B Holder shall bear no portion of such costs or expenses.

Anything herein or in the Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Senior Note is included in a REMIC and any other Senior Note is not, neither the Holder of such other Senior Note nor the Note B Holder shall be required to reimburse the Noteholder that deposited its respective Note in the REMIC or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

(f)If any consent, modification, amendment, determination or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision has been requested or proposed (a “Major Decision Request”), the Servicer shall send prompt notice to the Controlling Noteholder (and each Non-Controlling Noteholder) that it is in receipt of a Major Decision Request, and at least ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days) prior to the Servicer taking action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), the Special Servicer shall receive the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) before implementing a decision with respect to such Major Decision.

-35- 

If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days (or, in the case of an Acceptable Insurance Default, ten (10) Business Days) after delivery of the notice of a proposed Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of such proposed Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font: “THIS IS A SECOND NOTICE. FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS (OR, IN THE CASE OF AN ACCEPTABLE INSURANCE DEFAULT, TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS) OF THIS SECOND NOTICE WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF YOUR RIGHT TO CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THIS DECISION” and if the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days (or, in the case of an Acceptable Insurance Default, ten (10) Business Days) after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), as applicable, shall have no further consent rights with respect to the specific action proposed in such notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) may take actions with respect to the Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) if the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders (as a collective whole, but taking into account that Note B is subordinate to the Senior Notes), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative). The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder of its duties to comply with this Agreement (and shall not relieve the Servicer from its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard) .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to this Agreement and the Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such

-36- 

items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder under the Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event (as each such term is defined in the Securitization Servicing Agreement)), and (ii) the Servicer will be required to consult with each Non-Controlling Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, each Non-Controlling Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by each Non-Controlling Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to a Non-Controlling Noteholder by the Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Noteholder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to being anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto).

In addition to the consultation rights of the Non-Controlling Noteholders provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Non-Controlling Noteholders shall have the right to attend annual meetings (either telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) at the offices of the Servicer, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Servicer, during which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

The Controlling Noteholder shall be entitled to avoid (or terminate) a Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount upon satisfaction of the following (which must be completed within thirty (30) days of the Servicer’s receipt of any third party Appraisal (or update thereof) that indicates such Control Appraisal Period has occurred (which Appraisal the Servicer will be required to deliver to the Controlling Noteholder within two (2) Business Days of receipt by the Servicer of such third party Appraisal, together with the Servicer’s calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount applicable to Note B)): (i) such Controlling Noteholder shall have delivered as a supplement to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, in the amount specified in clause (ii) below, to the Servicer, together with documentation acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Senior Noteholders (or the Servicer on their behalf) in such collateral (a) cash collateral for the benefit of, and acceptable to, the Senior Noteholders (or the Servicer on their behalf) or (b) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit with the Senior Noteholders (or the Servicer on their behalf) as the beneficiary, issued by a bank or other financial institutions the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “A” by S&P, “A” by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and “A2” by Moody’s or the short term obligations of which are rated at least “A-1+” by S&P, “F-1” by Fitch and “P-1” by Moody’s (either (a) or (b), the “Threshold Event Collateral”), and (ii) the Threshold Event Collateral shall be in an amount which would cause the applicable Control Appraisal Period not to occur pursuant to the definition of “Control Appraisal Period”. If the requirements of this paragraph are satisfied by the Controlling Noteholder (a “Threshold Event Cure”), no Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to have occurred. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the Controlling Noteholder shall renew such

-37- 

letter of credit not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration thereof or to replace such letter of credit with a substitute letter of credit or other Threshold Event Collateral with an expiration date that is greater than forty-five (45) days from the date of substitution; provided, that, if a letter of credit is not renewed prior to thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such letter of credit, the letter of credit shall provide that the Senior Noteholders (or the Servicer on their behalf) may (and at the direction of the Controlling Noteholder, shall) draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the Controlling Noteholder shall be required to replace such letter of credit with other Threshold Event Collateral within thirty (30) days if the credit ratings of the issuing entity are downgraded below the required ratings; provided, that, if such Threshold Event Collateral is not so replaced, the Senior Noteholders (or the Servicer on their behalf) shall draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. The Threshold Event Cure shall continue until (i) the Threshold Event Collateral would not be sufficient to prevent a Control Appraisal Period from occurring pursuant to the definition of “Control Appraisal Period”; or (ii) the occurrence of a Final Recovery Determination. If the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, upon any redetermination thereof, is sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period without taking into consideration any, or some portion of, Threshold Event Collateral previously delivered by the Controlling Noteholder, any or such portion of Threshold Event Collateral held by the Servicer shall promptly be returned to such Controlling Noteholder (at its sole expense). Upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to the Mortgage Loan, such Threshold Event Collateral shall be available to reimburse each Noteholder for any Realized Principal Loss pursuant to Section 3 or 4, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan after application of the net proceeds of liquidation, not in excess of the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable interest rate and all other Additional Servicing Expenses reimbursable under this Agreement and under the Servicing Agreement. Any Threshold Event Collateral shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) shall be beneficially owned by the posting Noteholder who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The entire amount of Threshold Event Collateral, without a haircut or other reduction, shall be considered in determining the sufficiency of such Threshold Event Collateral to avoid a Control Appraisal Period.

(g)The Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement and (1) prior to Securitization, the Interim Servicing Agreement and (2) after the Securitization, the Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Section 6.Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(a)The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative to exercise its rights hereunder (the “Controlling Noteholder Representative”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling

-38- 

Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder, and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Controlling Noteholder Representative as actions of the Controlling Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative provides the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address, any fax number and any email address for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses, telephone numbers, any fax numbers and any email addresses).

(b)Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to the other Noteholders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (including the granting or refusal to grant any consent hereunder), or for errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Controlling Noteholder Representative and any Controlling Noteholder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Noteholder Representative when no Controlling Noteholder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to such Controlling Noteholder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions (including granting or refusing to grant any consent hereunder) that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Noteholder Representative or such Controlling Noteholder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Noteholder Representative, such Controlling Noteholder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor such Controlling Noteholder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in the interests of any Noteholder.

(c)The Note B Holder acknowledges and agrees that if the Lead Securitization Noteholder is the Controlling Noteholder, all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6) shall be exercisable by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement) to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

-39- 

Section 7.Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to appoint and replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Special Servicer (provided, that none of the Noteholders, the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative or the Note B Holder shall be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7); such termination will not be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized and such Rating Agency Confirmation is required under the Securitization Servicing Agreement); (B) the successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms. Prior to the Securitization, if the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and if not later than thirty (30) days after the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) elects to replace the Special Servicer, then, provided the Controlling Noteholder is the Note B Holder, each Noteholder hereby agrees that no liquidation fees or workout fees shall be payable to the Special Servicer being replaced, unless such Special Servicer shall have either successfully completed a workout or a liquidation under the circumstances described in the Servicing Agreement, in which case such fees shall be payable as provided herein and in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 8.Payment Procedure.

(a)The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 or 4, as applicable, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or the custodial account established for the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall (i) deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower and (ii) remit from the applicable account for deposit or credit on each Servicer Remittance Date all payments of any kind received with respect to and allocable to each Note, by wire transfer to accounts maintained by each Holder and designated to the Servicer in writing.

-40- 

(b) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to another Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Holder of such Note and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the applicable other Noteholder, Servicer or other Person with respect thereto.

(c)If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to the Note B Holder before the Lead Securitization Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such Holder, such Holder will, at the Lead Securitization Holder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

(d)Each Noteholder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Lead Securitization Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and such excess shall be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Noteholder under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the Noteholders’ obligations under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

The Note B Holder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under this Agreement the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Note B Holder and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder

-41- 

(including any Servicer) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Note B Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Noteholder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, that the Servicer must in all events act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement.

The Note B Holder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Senior Noteholder (other than the Lead Securitization Noteholder) and any Non-Lead Servicer may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that it may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Note B Holder and that any such party shall have no liability whatsoever to the Note B Holder in connection with its exercise of rights or its omission to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, that a Non-Lead Servicer must act in accordance with the servicing standard under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Each Senior Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Note B Holder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Holder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of such Senior Noteholder and that the Note B Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to such Senior Noteholder in connection with such Note B Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Note B Holder to exercise such rights; provided, that the Note B Holder shall not be protected against any liability to a Senior Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Section 10.Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the Noteholders in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 5(f), such Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further

-42- 

deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer or the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 11.Cure Rights of Controlling Noteholder.

(a)Subject to Section 11(b) below, in the event that the Mortgage Loan Borrower fails to make any monetary payment on the Mortgage Loan by the end of the any grace period (the “Grace Period”), if applicable, for such payment permitted under the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide written notice to the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative of such default (the “Monetary Default Notice”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Monetary Default within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Monetary Default Notice (the “Cure Period”) and at no other times. The Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement in boldface font that the Controlling Noteholder’s or the Controlling Noteholder Representative’s failure to cure such Monetary Default within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such notice will result in the termination of the right to cure such Monetary Default. At the time a payment is made to cure a Monetary Default, the Controlling Noteholder shall pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization Noteholder for all unreimbursed Advances (whether or not recoverable with respect to the Senior Notes, including principal and interest advances made with respect to Senior Notes under any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), Advance Interest Amounts, any unpaid fees to any Servicer and any Additional Servicing Expenses. The Controlling Noteholder shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder, to pay any default interest or late charges under the Mortgage Loan Documents. So long as a Monetary Default exists for which a cure payment permitted hereunder is timely made in full, such Monetary Default shall not be treated as an Event of Default by any Noteholder (including for purposes of (i) the definition of “Sequential Pay Event,” (ii) accelerating the Mortgage Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or commencing proceedings for foreclosure or the taking of title by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar legal proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) treating the Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan); provided that such limitation shall not prevent the Lead Securitization Noteholder from collecting Default Interest or late charges from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Any amounts advanced by the Controlling Noteholder on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower to effect any cure shall be reimbursable to such Noteholder under Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11(a), the Note B Holder shall be limited to a combined total of fourteen (14) cures of Monetary Defaults, no more than six (6) of which may occur within any consecutive 12-month period. Additional Cure Periods shall only be permitted with the consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder.

(c)No action taken by the Note B Holder in accordance with this Agreement to cure any Event of Default shall excuse performance by the Mortgage Loan Borrower of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and the Senior Noteholders’ rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall not be waived or prejudiced by virtue of the Note B Holder’s actions under this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Note B Holder shall be

-43- 

subrogated to any Senior Noteholder’s rights to any payment owing to such Noteholder for which the Note B Holder makes a cure payment as permitted under this Section 11 but such subrogation rights may not be exercised against the Mortgage Loan Borrower until ninety-one (91) days after the Note is paid in full.

(d)If an Event of Default (other than a Monetary Default) occurs and is continuing under the Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Non-Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide notice of such Non-Monetary Default to the Controlling Noteholder (or the Controlling Noteholder Representative) of such Non-Monetary Default (the “Non-Monetary Default Notice”) and the Controlling Noteholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Non-Monetary Default until the later of (a) the same period of time as the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents, without regard for the date of receipt by the Controlling Noteholder of the Non-Monetary Default Notice, and (b) thirty (30) days from the date of such Non-Monetary Default; provided, if such Non-Monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such period and if curative action was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary to enable the Controlling Noteholder in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Non-Monetary Default for so long as (i) the Controlling Noteholder diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such Non-Monetary Default, (ii) the Controlling Noteholder makes all cure payments that it is permitted to make in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 11(a) hereof, (iii) such additional period of time does not exceed ninety (90) days, (iv) such Non-Monetary Default is not caused by an Insolvency Proceeding and during such period of time that the Controlling Noteholder has to cure a Non-Monetary Default in accordance with this Section 11(d) (the “Non-Monetary Default Cure Period”) an Insolvency Proceeding does not occur and (v) during such Non-Monetary Default Cure Period, there is no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or the value of the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Monetary Default or the attempted cure. The Non-Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement in boldface font that the Controlling Noteholder’s or the Controlling Noteholder Representative’s failure to cure such Non-Monetary Default within the applicable Non-Monetary Default Cure Period after receiving such notice will result in the termination of the right to cure such Non-Monetary Default. The Controlling Noteholder shall not contact the Mortgage Loan Borrower in order to effect any cures under Sections 11(a) or this 11(d) without the prior written consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder.

Section 12.Purchase of Senior Notes By Note B Holder. The Note B Holder shall have the right, by written notice to the Senior Noteholders (a “Noteholder Purchase Notice”), delivered at any time an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, to purchase, in immediately available funds, the Senior Notes in whole but not in part at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price. For avoidance of doubt, if the Note B Holder elects to exercise its right to purchase a Senior Note pursuant to this Section 12, it must purchase all the Senior Notes. Following the delivery of the Noteholder Purchase Notice to the Senior Noteholders, the Senior Noteholders shall sell (and the Note B Holder shall purchase) the Senior Notes at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, on a date (the “Defaulted Note Purchase Date”) selected by the Note B Holder that is reasonably acceptable to the Senior Noteholders (it being agreed that Note B Holder may not select a date earlier than seven (7) Business Days after or later than forty-five (45) days after the date of the Noteholder Purchase Notice). If the Note B Holder fails

-44- 

to consummate such purchase on the Defaulted Note Purchase Date (other than by reason of the default of a Senior Noteholder) the Note B Holder’s right to purchase the Senior Notes shall terminate. The Note B Holder agrees that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses related to the purchase of the Senior Notes shall be paid by the Note B Holder. The Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) five (5) Business Days prior to the Defaulted Note Purchase Date (and such calculation shall be accompanied by a listing of all amounts included in the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Noteholders. Concurrently with the payment to the Senior Noteholders in immediately available funds of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, each Senior Noteholder will execute at the sole cost and expense of the Note B Holder in favor of the Note B Holder assignment documentation which will assign the Senior Notes and the Mortgage Loan Documents without recourse, representations or warranties (except each Senior Noteholder will represent and warrant that it has good and marketable title to, was the sole owner and holder of, and had power and authority to deliver, its Note and its entire undivided Percentage Interest in the Mortgage Loan and in the Mortgage Loan Documents, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than the interest created by Note B)). The right of the Note B Holder to purchase the Senior Notes shall automatically terminate upon a foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or, delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property (and the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall give the Note B Holder fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of its intent to consummate any such foreclosure, sale by power of sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure). In connection with any sale pursuant to this Section 12, each Senior Noteholder shall (i) execute and deliver assignment documentation and endorsements in customary form, which shall be consistent with the provisions of this Section 12 and (ii) deliver to Note B Holder all original Mortgage Loan Documents and related materials in their possession (or the possession of the Servicer). Any sale pursuant to this Section 12 shall be on a “servicing released” basis.

Section 13.Representations and Understandings of the Note B Holder.

The Note B Holder represents, and specifically understands and agrees, that it is acquiring its Note for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and that each Senior Noteholder shall otherwise have no liability or responsibility to the Note B Holder except as expressly provided herein or for actions that are taken or omitted to be taken by any Senior Noteholder that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct or that constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(a)The Note B Holder agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of Note B except that the Note B Holder shall have the right to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof (i) to a Qualified Institutional Lender, provided, that promptly after the Transfer, (x) each Senior Noteholder is provided with a representation from the transferee or such Note B Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender and a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20 and (y) such transfer would not cause Note B to be held by more than five Persons or (ii) to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender if the Note B Holder obtains (1) prior to a Securitization, the consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (2) after a Securitization, Rating Agency Confirmation (and for avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be required after a Securitization); provided that in each of case (1) and (2), (x) promptly after the Transfer the Lead Securitization Noteholder is provided with a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20 and (y) such transfer would not cause Note B to be held by more than five Persons. If Note B is held

-47- 

by more than one Person at any time, the holders of a majority of the Note B Principal Balance shall immediately appoint a representative to exercise all rights of the Note B Holder hereunder in accordance with Section 6(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each Senior Noteholder’s prior consent, which in each case may be withheld in the sole discretion of the applicable Senior Noteholder, the Note B Holder shall not Transfer all or any portion of Note B to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The Note B Holder agrees it will pay the expenses of the Senior Noteholders (including all expenses of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) in connection with any such Transfer.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note B Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the Senior Noteholders or any other Person and without the need to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its interest in Note B to any Person provided that any such Transfer shall be made in accordance with this Section 19(b); provided further, that the Note B Holder shall not Transfer all or any portion of Note B to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or to a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party without the consent of the Senior Noteholders (which consent may require Rating Agency Confirmation) and any Transfer without such consent shall be void ab initio, absolutely null and void, and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. All Transfers under Section 19(a) and (b) shall be made upon written notice to the Senior Noteholders not later than the date of such Transfer and each transferee shall (i) assume all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder with respect to Note B from and after the date of such assignment (or, in the case, of a pledge, collateral assignment or other encumbrance made in accordance with Section 19(e) by the Note B Holder of Note B solely as security for a loan to the Note B Holder made by a third-party lender whereby the Note B Holder remains fully liable under this Agreement, on or before the date on which such third-party lender succeeds to the rights of the Note B Holder by foreclosure or otherwise, such third-party lender executes an agreement that such lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder) and (ii) agree in writing to be bound by the Servicing Agreement. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of Note B in accordance with this Agreement, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to Note B (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing release shall not apply in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in Note B as described in clause (c) below). In connection with any such permitted Transfer of all or any portion of Note B and for all purposes of this Agreement, the Senior Noteholders need only recognize the Note B Holder (or, if Note B is held by more than one entity, the related Controlling Noteholder Representative) for purposes of notices, consents and other communications between any Senior Noteholder and the Note B Holder, and the Note B Holder (or, if Note B is held by more than one entity, the related Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be the only Person authorized hereunder to exercise any rights of the Note B Holder under this Agreement; provided, the majority holder of Note B may from time to time designate (in accordance with Section 6(a) hereof) any other Person as the party entitled to receive notices, consents and other communications and/or to exercise rights on behalf of the Note B Holder hereunder by delivering written notice thereof to the Senior Noteholders, and, from and after delivery of such notice, such designee shall be so authorized hereunder and shall be the only party

-48- 

entitled to receive such notices, consents and such other communications and/or to exercise such rights.

(c)In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement; provided, further, that upon the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period, the aforesaid delegation of rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(d)Each Senior Noteholder shall not Transfer more than 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (1) prior to a Securitization of any Senior Note, the other Holders have consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Institutional Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement, (2) after a Securitization of any Senior Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Institutional Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement, (3) such Transfer is to a Qualified Institutional Lender or (4) such Transfer of a Senior Note is in connection with a sale by a securitization trust; provided that if such Transfer is a Transfer of the Lead Securitization Note, such Transfer is to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Any such transferee (except in the case of Transfers that are made in connection with a Securitization) hereby assumes the obligations of the transferring Holder hereunder and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and remakes each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement, without each non-transferring Holder’s prior consent and, if any non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency Confirmation, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. None of the provisions of this Section 19(d) shall apply in the case of a sale of the Senior Notes together in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 19(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any Person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such

-49- 

Noteholder’s interest in the applicable Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without (a) prior to Securitization, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after Securitization, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to the other Noteholders and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each of the other Noteholders agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to the other Noteholder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Noteholders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Noteholders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Noteholders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Noteholder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Noteholder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 19(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

-50- 

(f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such Noteholder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Moody’s rates the Securitization) is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)Such Noteholder pledges (or sells, transfers or assigns as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agrees that, if such Noteholder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not, without obtaining the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 20.Registration of Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (or any portion thereof), excluding any transfer to a Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall (unless this Agreement is amended and restated and the transferee executes an amended and restated agreement) execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Trustee shall not be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Securitization Servicing Agreement. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 19 and this Section 20. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon a Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, the Master Servicer shall automatically become and be the Agent.

-51- 

Section 21.Registration of the Notes. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial Note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, except in the case of the Noteholders who may hold their Notes through a nominee. Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders. To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Noteholders hereby designate such person as its agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

Section 22.Statement of Intent. The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified and maintained as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.

Section 23.No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in any Mortgage Loan by the Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Note B Holder shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for any Mortgage Loan, provided, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then the Note B Holder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 24.Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(b)CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 26.Modifications; Amendment. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Securitization Servicing Agreement, (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 38 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 27.Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 19, each Noteholder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Noteholder hereunder.

Section 28.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

-53- 

Section 29.Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 30.Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 31.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 32.Withholding Taxes.

(a)If a Senior Noteholder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the Note B Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of the Note B Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall be entitled to do so with respect to the Note B Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to the Note B Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall furnish such Note B Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note B Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which the Note B Holder is subject to tax.

(b)The Note B Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Noteholder against and hold the Lead Securitization Noteholder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Note B Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Note B Holder to the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to withhold Taxes from payments made to the Note B Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Note B Holder shall, upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel reasonably approved by the Lead Noteholder.

(c)The Note B Holder represents to the Senior Noteholders that as of the date hereof it is not (and, if Note B is transferred, the transferee represents that as of the date of such transfer it is not) a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Noteholder nor

-54- 

the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. If Note B Holder hereafter becomes a Non-Exempt Person, it shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, such Note B Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Noteholder substantiating whether such Note B Holder is a Non-Exempt Person and whether the Lead Securitization Noteholder is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if the Note B Holder (or, if the Note B Holder is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the owner of the Note B Holder) is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if the Note B Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, the Note B Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN, or Form W-8BEN-E, or applicable successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Note B Holder, as evidence of the Note B Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to the Note B Holder in respect of Note B or otherwise until such Note B Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Noteholder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents as provided herein.

Section 33.Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. Prior to the Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes, which will be held by the related Noteholders) will be held by the Initial Agent (or an agent of the Initial Agent) on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. After the Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than any Non-Lead Securitization Notes and Note B) will be transferred to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder).

Section 34.Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) email or facsimile transmission (during business hours), if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such email or facsimile notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (ii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iii) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the

-55- 

Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder and, at any time that the Note B Holder is not the Controlling Holder, to the Note B Holder.

Section 35.Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 36.Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a)The Noteholders hereby appoint the Agent to act on their behalf under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and the Agent hereby agrees to so act on behalf of the Noteholders, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

(b)The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 20;

(c)The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

(d)The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(e)The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(f)The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 20; and

(g)The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.

Section 37.Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Lead Securitization Noteholder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 37, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform

-56- 

the duties of the Agent hereunder. The Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to the Master Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. The Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause the Master Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if the Master Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of the Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement.

Section 38.Resizing. The Note B Holder agrees that if, in connection with a Securitization, any Senior Noteholder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Senior Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Senior Note to such New Notes, the Note B Holder shall cooperate with such Senior Noteholder to effect such resizing at such Senior Noteholder’s expense, as applicable; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of the related Senior Note immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) such New Notes are pari passu with each other, (iii) the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the interest rate of the related Senior Note immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iv) no such resizing shall (a) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, the Note B Holder, or priority of such payments, or (b) materially increase the Note B Holder’s obligations or materially decrease the Note B Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the resizing of a Senior Note, the related Senior Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion. Any cap on a Senior Noteholder’s obligation to pay the Note B Holder’s expenses pursuant to Section 40 of this Agreement shall not apply to the Note B Holder’s expenses in connection with a resizing pursuant to this Section 38 or any Securitization of a resized Senior Note.

Section 39.Conflict. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.

Section 40.Cooperation in Securitization.

(a)Each Noteholder acknowledges that any Senior Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Senior Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of a Senior Noteholder, the Note B Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at such Senior Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with such Senior Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which such Senior Noteholder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with such Senior Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization; provided, that either in connection with the Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to the Securitization, the Note B Holder shall not be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable)

-57- 

in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments or otherwise materially and adversely affect, such Holder or (ii) materially increase such Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the Securitization, the Note B Holder agrees to provide the identity of such Note B Holder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the related Securitization as the applicable Senior Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate. The Note B Holder covenants and agrees that (at the applicable Senior Noteholder’s expense) it shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and such Senior Noteholder in connection with the Securitization, as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document. The Note B Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the applicable Senior Noteholder may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. The Senior Noteholders and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, the Note B Holder.

(b)The applicable Senior Noteholder may, at its election (and, in the case of the Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall) deliver to the Note B Holder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Securitization Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. The Note B Holder may, at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to Note B, such Holder, and/or this Agreement, and, if such Holder elects to review and comment, such Holder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if such Holder fails to respond within such time, such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon. In the event of any disagreement between the Note B Holder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents the Senior Noteholder’s determination shall control. The Note B Holder has no obligation with respect to, and such Holder shall have no liability with respect to, any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself. The applicable Senior Noteholder shall reimburse the Note B Holder for any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such Holder in connection with such Holder’s review of or commenting on the documents referred to above.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Senior Noteholders acknowledge and agree that (i) the Note B Holder shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with a Securitization of a Senior Note and (ii) the Note B Holder shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information or any of the beneficial owners of the managed account on behalf of which it is holding Note B; provided that the Note B Holder acknowledges that the identities of the Note B Holder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative are not considered confidential or proprietary information.

-58- 

(d) The Senior Noteholders have advised the Note B Holder that no Senior Noteholder expects to receive any consideration from the sale of the primary servicing rights with respect to Note B in connection with the Lead Securitization. In the event any such consideration is received in connection with the consummation of the Lead Securitization, any Senior Noteholder receiving such consideration shall cause such amount to be remitted, promptly upon receipt thereof, to the related Noteholder.

(a)           Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to advance monthly payments of principal or interest in respect of any Note other than the Lead Securitization Note if such principal or interest is not paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower but shall be obligated to advance delinquent real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other expenses related to the maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and maintenance and enforcement of the lien of the Mortgage thereon, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder acknowledges that any other Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization and agrees that it will, subject to Section 27, reasonably cooperate with such other Note Holder, at such other Note Holder’s expense, to effect such Securitization.

The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not require the Servicer to enforce the rights of one Note Holder against the other Note Holder, and shall not limit the Servicer in enforcing the rights of one Note Holder against any other Note Holder as may be required in order to service the Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided, that it is also understood and agreed that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to otherwise limit the rights of one Note Holder with respect to any other Note Holder.

At any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Note Holders agree to cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced by one or more servicers, each of which has been agreed upon by the Note Holders, pursuant to a servicing agreement that has servicing terms substantially similar to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and all references herein to the “Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement; provided, that if a Non-Lead Securitization Note is in a Securitization and the servicer(s) to be appointed under such replacement servicing agreement would not otherwise meet the conditions to be a servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement that is being replaced, then a Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency with respect to the securities issued in connection with such Securitization for such Non-Lead Securitization Note; provided, further, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as if such agreement were still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, by the applicable Servicer in the Lead Securitization or by any Person appointed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder that is an Approved Servicer. The Note Holders acknowledge that at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

(b)           The Master Servicer shall be the lead master servicer on the Mortgage Loan, and from time to time it (or the Trustee to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall make the following advances, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement: (i) Servicing Advances on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization Note.

then, in the case of Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for Advance Interest on a Servicing Advance (including any Nonrecoverable Advance) in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or any Advance Interest on a Servicing Advance (including any Nonrecoverable Advance), each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Securitization Trust into which such Non-Lead Securitization Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Advance Interest.

Section 5.           Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)           Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf), shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or to consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan.

In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless with respect to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, 50% or more of the related Note (or the class of securities issued in the applicable Non-Lead Securitization designated as the “controlling class” or such other class(es) otherwise assigned the rights to exercise the rights of the “Controlling Note Holder” is held by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicer Mortgage File requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the related Lead Securitization Controlling Class Representative prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder may waive (only with respect to itself) any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the foregoing, each Note Holder or its Note Holder Representative shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Note. Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its original Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell any Non-Lead Securitization Note, and the obligations of any other Note Holder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the related Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which

-40-

the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the holder of such Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into such Securitization from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the holder of the Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b)           The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each Note Holder. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to the extent set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is the same Person as, or is an Affiliate of, the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Controlling Class Representative pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Controlling Class Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Controlling Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the expiration of the related “Subordinate Control Period” (as defined under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) or the “Collective Consultation Period” (as defined under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement)) and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to

-41-

consult with each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Controlling Class Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may take any Major Decision or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

(d)           If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of

-42-

the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC related provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(d), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by all of the Note Holders collectively, each contributing on a pro rata and pari passu basis according to the Percentage Interest represented by each Note.

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and another is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to any other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6.           Rights of the Controlling Note Holder.

(a)           The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. Any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified such Servicer or Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides any Servicer or Trustee with written

-43-

confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and telecopy number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and telecopy numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers, Operating Advisor and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative.

(b)           The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the Lead Securitization Controlling Class Representative with respect to the Mortgage Loan (assuming that a “Subordinate Control Period” or similar period under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement is in effect). In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to the Mortgage Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Major Decision as to which the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.

If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision (which notice shall contain a legend, in conspicuous boldface type, substantially similar to the following: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR ACTION APPROVAL. IF THE CONTROLLING NOTE HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE ENCLOSED ACTION WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, SUCH ACTION MAY BE DEEMED APPROVED”) together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period (or thirty (30) days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default), such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder is necessary to protect the

-44-

interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response.

No objection, direction, consent or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC Provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(c)           Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and the second paragraph of this Section 6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, as of the date of this Agreement and until the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) is notified otherwise, shall be the Initial Note A-2 Holder, the Initial Note A-3 Holder, the Initial Note A-4 Holder, the Initial Note A-5 Holder, the Initial Note A-6 Holder, the Initial Note A-7 Holder, the Initial Note A-8 Holder, the Initial Note A-9 Holder, the Initial Note A-10 Holder, the Initial Note A-11 Holder and the Initial Note A-12 Holder, as applicable, provided that at any time a Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, references to the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein shall mean the related “Directing Certificateholder”, “Directing Holder” or “Controlling Class Representative” (or analogous term) under the Non-Lead Securitization or any other party assigned the rights to exercise the rights of the related “Non-Controlling Note Holder” hereunder, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and as to the identity of which the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) has been given written notice.

Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization; provided, that each Initial Note Holder shall be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon.

(d)           The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be required at any time to deal with more than one party as the representative of the “controlling class” holder(s) in respect of any Note that is exercising the rights of a “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on its behalf) may additionally need to

-45-

deal with the master servicer, special servicer or other person party to the related Securitization Servicing Agreement) and to the extent that the related Securitization Servicing Agreement assigns such rights to more than one such party as the representative of the “controlling class” holder(s), for purposes of this Agreement, such Securitization Servicing Agreement shall designate one such party to deal with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) as the representative of the related “controlling class” holder(s) in exercising its rights as a “Non-Controlling Note Holder” herein or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and such party shall provide written notice of such designation to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer acting on its behalf); provided that, in the absence of such designation and notice, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be entitled to treat the last party as to which it has received written notice as having been designated as the applicable Non-Controlling Note Holder, as the applicable Non-Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement.

(e)           No Note Holder Representative will have any liability to any other Note Holder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or any Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that a Note Holder Representative may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over any other Note Holder, and that any Note Holder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of any other Note Holder and, absent willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Note Holder Representative, agree to take no action against the Note Holder Representative or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that no Note Holder Representative will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful malfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

Section 7.           Appointment of Special Servicer. The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer that satisfies the Required Special Servicer Rating requirements in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to each other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each other party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Communication or a Rating Agency Confirmation, but only if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), if any. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then

-46-

currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects any Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Lead Securitization’s collection account (or equivalent account).

Section 8.           Payment Procedure.

(a)           The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the “Collection Account” and/or “Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account” (or the related analogous term and each as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (provided, that to the extent that any payment is received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such payment into the applicable account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds, but, in any event, the Master Servicer is required to deposit such payments into the applicable account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified and available funds).

(b)           If the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to any Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any

-47-

other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c)           If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) makes any payment to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf).

(d)           Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9.           Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. No Note Holder shall have any liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement.

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee on its behalf) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described

-48-

above; provided, that each Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.            Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.            Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants to each other Note Holder that, as of the date hereof (or in connection with a new Holder of a Note following a Transfer, as of the date of such Transfer):

(a)           the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder,

(b)           this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at

-49-

law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law,

(c)           it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business,

(d)           this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, and

(e)           to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, (A) all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (B) there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12.            No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates and if the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the Lead Securitization Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13.            Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that each other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or Affiliate thereof or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower Affiliate thereof or any entity (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14.            Sale of the Notes.

(a)           Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (or a participation interest in such Note) (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after any such

-50-

Transfer, any non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from each transferee or the transferring Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence or a Transfer by a Note Holder to an entity that constitutes a Qualified Institutional Lender pursuant to clause (c)(iii) of the definition thereof) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15 (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement). If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and, if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency from each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of any non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to the confirmation from the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the related Note is included in a Securitization, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder, the Rating Agencies or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of Note A-1 together with Note A-2, Note A-3, Note A-4, Note A-5, Note A-6, Note A-7, Note A-8, Note A-9, Note A-10, Note A-11 and Note A-12 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

For the purposes of this Agreement, if any Rating Agency shall, in writing, waive, decline or refuse to review or otherwise engage any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation, such waiver, declination, or refusal shall be deemed to eliminate, for such request only, the condition that such confirmation by such Rating Agency (only) be obtained for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, any such waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any request for such confirmation hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any subsequent request for such Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder and the condition for such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to this Agreement for any subsequent request shall apply regardless of any previous waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in such prior request.

-51-

(b)           In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each applicable Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”) or to a Person with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained, on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to each other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to each other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Note Holder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Note Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Note Holder and

-52-

any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(d)           Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)            the loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii)           the Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii)          such Note Holder pledges (or sells, transfers or assigns as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv)          the Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v)           unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

-53-

Section 15.            Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16.            Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 17.            Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)           SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE

-54-

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(b)           CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)           AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)           AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 18.            Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first delivering a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency then rating any securities of any Securitization; provided that no such Rating Agency Communication shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct any scrivener error, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement to make provisions of this Agreement consistent with other provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, in connection with the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 33).

Section 19.            Statement of Intent. The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified and maintained as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.

Section 20.            Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided herein, including without limitation, with respect to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer and Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, each Note Holder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to

-55-

all rights and benefits of the applicable Note Holder hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the representations in Section 11 shall not be binding upon any Securitization Trust.

Section 21.            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 22.            Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 23.            Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 24.            Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 25.            Withholding Taxes. (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, such Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

(b)           Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead

-56-

Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

(c)           Each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) represents (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Note Holder (to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Note Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Note Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Note Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the holder of such Note shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

If the Lead Securitization is not also the Note A-1 Securitization, then on and after the Lead Securitization Date the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note A-1 and any other Notes not included in such Lead Securitization) shall be held in the name of the trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. On and after the Note A-1 Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note A-2, Note A-3, Note A-4, Note A-5, Note A-6, Note A-7, Note A-8, Note A-9, Note A-10, Note A-11 and Note A-12, unless any such Note is also included in the A-1 Securitization) shall be transferred to and held in the name of the trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) under the Note A-1 PSA, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.

Section 27.            Cooperation in Securitization.

(a)           Each Note Holder acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the related Securitizing Note Holder, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which such Securitizing Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with such Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect such Securitization; provided, that no Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments to, such Non-Securitizing Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any Securitization, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization such information concerning such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note as the related Securitizing Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and such Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall, at the Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Securitizing Note Holder in connection with such Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Securitizing Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and

-58-

warranties) to enable the Securitizing Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and such Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder. The Securitizing Note Holder shall reasonably cooperate with each Non-Securitizing Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Securitizing Note Holder’s possession in connection with such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

(b)           Upon request, each Securitizing Note Holder shall deliver to each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the pooling and servicing agreement for the Securitization of such Securitizing Note Holder’s Note and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

(c)           If a Non-Lead Securitization Note becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate at the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense with such Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such Asset Review by providing such Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by such Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer, but only to the extent that such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and are not in the possession of the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer (and the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer has informed such party that it has first requested, and not received, the documents from the master servicer, special servicer and custodian for the applicable Non-Lead Securitization).

Section 28.            Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) telephone (confirmed promptly in writing) or shall be in writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iv) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

Section 29.            Broker. Each Note Holder represents to each other that it has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person that may be entitled to any

-59-

commission or compensation in connection with consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 30.            Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a)           The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 14 and Section 15;

(b)           The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

(c)           The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(d)           The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(e)           The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15;

(f)            The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder; and

(g)           The Agent represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.

Section 31.            Reserved.

Section 32.            Resignation or Termination of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. UBS AG, New York Branch, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of UBS AG, New York Branch without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master

-60-

servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

Section 33.            Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as any Note Holder or an affiliate thereof (each, a “Resizing Entity”) is the owner of any Note that is not included in a Securitization (each, an “Owned Note”), such Resizing Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in each case, as applicable “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of an Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing an Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of such Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) the Resizing Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Resizing Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of each other Note. In connection with the foregoing, provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above are satisfied, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal and that each New Note shall be a “Note” hereunder and for purposes of adding and modifying any definitions related thereto. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a Controlling Note Holder or Non-Controlling Note Holder hereunder, the “Controlling Note Holder” or “Non-Controlling Note Holder”, as applicable, shall be as provided in the definitions of such terms in this Agreement; provided that the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to designate any New Note created from the existing Controlling Note to be a Non-Controlling Note hereunder.

The Offered Certificates are being issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), tax administrator and custodian, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and asset representations reviewer.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and relied upon the originals, copies or specimens, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and such certificates, corporate and public records, agreements and instruments and other documents, including, among other things, the documents delivered on the date hereof, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents, agreements and instruments of all documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as copies or specimens, the authenticity of the originals of such documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as copies or specimens, the conformity of the text of each document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) through the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System to the printed document reviewed by us, the accuracy of the matters set forth in the documents, agreements and instruments we reviewed, and that such documents, agreements and instruments evidence the entire understanding between the parties thereto and have not been amended, modified or supplemented in any manner material to the opinions expressed herein.

We have also assumed (x) the legal capacity of all natural persons and (y) (except to the extent expressly opined on herein) that all documents, agreements and instruments have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, that all such parties are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, that all such parties had the power and legal right to execute and deliver all such documents, agreements and instruments, and that such documents, agreements and instruments constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms.

We express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and, to the extent expressly referred to in this letter, the federal laws of the United States of America.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.When the Offered Certificates have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Administrator in the manner contemplated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and paid for by and sold to the Underwriters pursuant to the Agreement, the Offered Certificates will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable and entitled to the benefits provided by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

We also hereby confirm and adopt the opinions expressly set forth under such headings, under existing law and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SF-3 (File No. 333-257991) filed with the Commission on July 16, 2021, as amended by a Form SF-3/A filed on September 9, 2021, as further amended by a Form SF-3/A on September 27, 2021, as declared effective on October 15, 2021 (excluding any exhibits thereto, the “Registration Statement”), as it relates to the Offered Certificates, and to the reference to Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP and the discussion of our opinions set forth in this letter under the headings “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus.

Certification

I, Anthony J. Sfarra, certify as of November 22, 2021 that:

1. I have reviewed the prospectus relating to Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C61, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-C61 (the “securities”) and am familiar with, in all material respects, the following: The characteristics of the securitized assets underlying the offering (the “securitized assets”), the structure of the securitization, and all material underlying transaction agreements as described in the prospectus;

2. Based on my knowledge, the prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading;

3. Based on my knowledge, the prospectus and other information included in the registration statement of which it is a part fairly present, in all material respects, the characteristics of the securitized assets, the structure of the securitization and the risks of ownership of the securities, including the risks relating to the securitized assets that would affect the cash flows available to service payments or distributions on the securities in accordance with their terms; and

4. Based on my knowledge, taking into account all material aspects of the characteristics of the securitized assets, the structure of the securitization, and the related risks as described in the prospectus, there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the securitization is structured to produce, but is not guaranteed by this certification to produce, expected cash flows at times and in amounts to service scheduled payments of interest and the ultimate repayment of principal on the securities (or other scheduled or required distributions on the securities, however denominated) in accordance with their terms as described in the prospectus.

5. The foregoing certifications are given subject to any and all defenses available to me under the federal securities laws, including any and all defenses available to an executive officer that signed the registration statement of which the prospectus referred to in this certification is part.

EXECUTION VERSION 

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated and effective as of November 19, 2021, between LMF Commercial, LLC, as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Mortgage Loan Seller” or “Seller”), and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser”).

The Purchaser intends to create a trust (the “Trust”), the primary assets of which will be a segregated pool of commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans, that includes the Mortgage Loans.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1 hereof). Any reference to a provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date. It is anticipated that the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS

(“Academy”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert Williams Shank”) (collectively in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Underwriters. The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates to WFS, Credit Suisse, UBS Securities, Academy, Drexel and Siebert Williams Shank (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Initial Purchasers. The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the date of filing thereof, the “Prospectus”), relating to the Registered Certificates and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.

The Mortgage Loan Seller will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain preliminary prospectus, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the last Time of Sale as defined in the Indemnification Agreement, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), between the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.                Agreement to Purchase. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on December 6, 2021 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $189,149,596, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible). The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.

-2- 

Section 2.                Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller), except any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations.

After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.

(b)               The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates

-3- 

(other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(c)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (which delivery shall be subject to clauses (e) and (f) in the proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date, any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be required under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d)               In accordance with Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original of such letter of credit to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Custodian) or, if such original has been submitted by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the

-4- 

Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by delivering with respect to such letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

In addition, pursuant to Section 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt of a letter of credit pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, for recording, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller, any Mortgage Loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing

-5- 

Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that the Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

(e)                In addition, with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as Mortgage Loan Number 25 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which is secured by a Mortgaged Property that is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), provide any such required notice to or make any such required request of the related franchisor (with a copy to the Master Servicer); and, if the Mortgage Loan Seller receives notice from the Master Servicer that any such comfort letter with respect to a franchise agreement has not been received within the timeframe provided under Section 2.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within a commercially reasonable time after receipt of such notice, obtain a replacement comfort letter in substantially the same form as the existing comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) in favor of the Trust.

(f)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the following items in its possession: (i) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of any instruments of assignment that are returned to the Custodian by the related public recording office in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Master Servicer); and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or related Whole Loan(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis

-6-

In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to it and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC^® Financial File and CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(g)               Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller. In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.

(h)               The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (except with respect to the Administrative Cost Rate). The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach or to shorten the period available to the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the cure, repurchase or substitution provisions with respect to a Material Defect set forth in Section 5.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 3, 10, 17, 25, 33, 40, 41, 43, 46, 48, 50, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58 and 59 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, each of which is subject to defeasance, the Mortgage Loan Seller has retained the related Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations. The Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that: (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a

-7- 

defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations, then the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its assignee; and (ii) until such time as the Mortgage Loan Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.                Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.

Section 4.                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser.

The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.

(c)                The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(d)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date

All terms used in this Section 4(o) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have no affirmative obligation to monitor the performance of the Mortgage Loans or any changes in condition or circumstance of any Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, guarantor or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date in connection with its

Section 5.                Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution. (a) The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the Responsible Repurchase Party’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, the Responsible Repurchase Party’s discovery of, a Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at the Responsible Repurchase Party’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Responsible Repurchase Party to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the Responsible Repurchase Party has delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Responsible Repurchase Party is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the Responsible Repurchase Party to have received the recorded document, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure,

-12- 

repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date so long as the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Responsible Repurchase Party is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach that causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the Responsible Repurchase Party are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If the Responsible Repurchase Party, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agrees to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Responsible Repurchase Party to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust. The following terms shall apply to any Loss of Value Payment: (i) prior to any agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury

-13- 

Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

The Responsible Repurchase Party’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, however, that no limitation of remedy is implied with respect to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s breach of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes.

The Responsible Repurchase Party agrees that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any “Material Defect” relating to a “Defect” in the related “Mortgage File” (or analogous terms) under the related Non-Serviced PSA shall constitute a Material Defect under this Agreement to the extent the Responsible Repurchase Party repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA by reason of such “Material Defect”; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect (or analogous term) related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall also apply to the related REO Property.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Responsible Repurchase Party may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above to the extent not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If the Responsible Repurchase Party elects to cure such Breach, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable Persons and upon its making such remittance, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Responsible Repurchase Party are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the Responsible Repurchase Party equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the Responsible Repurchase Party.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the Responsible Repurchase Party of its obligation to cure,

-14- 

repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if (i) the Responsible Repurchase Party did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by the Purchaser or by any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (it being understood that knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) prevented the Responsible Repurchase Party from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Responsible Repurchase Party provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)               Whenever one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Defective Loan that is purchased or repurchased, as the case may be, or replaced with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (any such Mortgage Loan, a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part

-15- 

of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon any substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

If any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group is required to be repurchased or substituted, the provisions of Section 2.03(h), Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.

(c)                The Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Party, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Party, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party.

(d)               [Reserved.]

(e)                The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall have no liability to the Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise for any failure of the Mortgage Loan

-16- 

Seller or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to perform its obligations provided for thereunder.

(f)                The Mortgage Loan Seller will provide the Responsible Repurchase Party copies of any 15Ga-1 Notice delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller (to the extent it receives any request or demand, whether oral or written, that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased or replaced, whether arising from a Material Defect or other breach of a representation or warranty, such recipient a “Seller Request Recipient” and such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”) agrees to provide to the Purchaser: (i) written notice of any Repurchase Request, which notice will specify if such Repurchase Request is a 15Ga-1 Notice; (ii) written notice of (A) the existence of any dispute regarding such Repurchase Request, whether written or oral, between such Seller Request Recipient and the Person making such Repurchase Request, (B) the expiration of any applicable Initial Cure Period, or, if applicable, any Extended Cure Period, (C) the withdrawal of such Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request, (D) the rejection of such Repurchase Request by the Seller Request Recipient and (E) the repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 5 and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) upon reasonable request of the Purchaser (subject to Section 5(g)), such other information in the Seller Request Recipient’s possession as would be necessary to permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase or replacement requests or demands of any Person relating to any Mortgage Loan or to comply with any other obligations applicable to it under law or regulation.

Each notice required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5(f) may be delivered by electronic means. Each notice required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be given not later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the event giving rise to the requirement for such notice and any information requested pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made. Each notice required to be delivered pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall identify (a) the date on which such Repurchase Request was made, (b) the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such Repurchase Request was made, (c) the identity of the Person making such request, and (d) the basis, if any, asserted for such request by such Person. Each notice required to be delivered pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall identify (a) the date of such withdrawal, rejection, repurchase or replacement, or the date of the commencement of such dispute, as applicable, (b) if pertaining to a dispute, the nature of such dispute, (c) if pertaining to the expiration of an Initial Cure Period or an Extended Cure Period, the expiration date of such Initial Cure Period or, if applicable, an Extended Cure Period, (d) if pertaining to a withdrawal, the basis for such withdrawal given to the Seller Request Recipient or an indication that no basis was given by the Person withdrawing such Repurchase Request, (e) if pertaining to a rejection by the Seller Request Recipient, the basis for the Seller Request Recipient’s rejection and (f) if pertaining to a repurchase or replacement, the date of such repurchase or replacement.

(g)               Each of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (i) a Repurchase Request Recipient under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will not, in connection with providing the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Purchaser with any 15Ga-1 Notice

(h)               The Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Purchaser relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Mortgage Loan Seller is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act (only to the extent that such portions relate to any Repurchase Request with respect to any Mortgage Loan) on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Commission.

In addition, with respect to any period during which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, upon the reasonable request of such party, by providing all Mortgage Loan-related documents, data and information in the possession of the Seller at or prior to the Closing Date and necessary for the ongoing compliance by the Depositor and the Trust with the requirements of Form 10-D with respect to Items 1111 and 1125 of Regulation AB; provided that the Seller shall not be required to provide any documents that are proprietary to the related originator or the Seller or any draft documents, privileged or internal communications, credit underwriting or due diligence analysis.

(i)            In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

(ii)            In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

Section 20.            Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 19, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

(b)               After a BHC Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall

EXHIBIT C

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase “the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein). All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.

The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.

1.                  Intentionally Omitted.

2.                  Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

3.                  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by

Exh. C-1

(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or Prepayment Premium/Yield Maintenance Charge)) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

4.                  Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

5.                  Intentionally Omitted.

6.                  Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.

7.                  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the

Exh. C-2

Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

8.                  Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the

Exh. C-3

Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.                  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph 7 above), and equipment and other personal property financing. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.

10.              Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

11.              Financing Statements. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and

Exh. C-4

perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

12.              Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

13.              Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.              Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

15.              Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as

Exh. C-5

of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents, or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.              Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with the Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor or its servicer (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related depositor under the Non-Serviced PSA or the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer).

17.              No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback).

18.              Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up

Exh. C-6

to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the least of (a) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (c) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML

Exh. C-7

was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

19.              Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels. Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax parcels are created.

Exh. C-8

20.              No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property: (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.

21.              No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

22.              REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

Exh. C-9

23.              Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

24.              Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

25.              Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

26.              Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, (c) title insurance policy coverage has been obtained with respect to any non-conforming use or structure, or (d) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.              Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material

Exh. C-10

licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.              Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii)  breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).

29.              Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A)

Exh. C-11

of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, unless an opinion of counsel is delivered as specified in clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).

No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

30.              Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls (or maintenance schedules in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by residential cooperative properties) for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.

31.              Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (“TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right

Exh. C-12

to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C; provided that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

32.              Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller, including, but not limited to, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case, a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) Transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1 or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

33.              Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents and the related Mortgage Loan

Exh. C-13

documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $10 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34.              Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

35.              Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed.

36.              Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit C, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who

Exh. C-14

may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

(A)       The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(B)       The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that the Mortgagee has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;

(C)       The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual/360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)       The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;

(E)       Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, the Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the

Exh. C-15

holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);

(F)       The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(G)       The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provide that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(H)       A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the Mortgagee’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(I)       The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;

(J)       Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)       In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(L)       Provided that the Mortgagee cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with the Mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

Exh. C-16

37.              Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects legal and have met with customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

38.              Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.

39.              Intentionally Omitted.

40.              No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in this Exhibit C. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

41.              Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

42.              Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-4, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of a Mortgagor with respect to another Mortgage Loan. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (42) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

Exh. C-17

43.              Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II environmental site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related Mortgagee; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated or contained in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch Ratings, Inc. and/or A.M. Best; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

44.              Intentionally Omitted.

45.              Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) (A) is a Member of the Appraisal Institute or (B) has a comparable professional designation and possesses the level of experience required to evaluate commercial real estate collateral, and (ii) to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

Exh. C-18

46.              Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

47.              Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan.

48.              Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller. Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date.

49.              Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Mortgage Loan Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of this Exhibit C, “Mortgagee” means the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Mortgage, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement dated and effective as of November 19, 2021 (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), between LMF Commercial, LLC (“Seller”) and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (“Depositor”), Seller is selling certain commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) to Depositor;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator, tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Special Servicer are granted certain powers, responsibilities and authority in connection with the completion and the filing and recording of assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements, reassignments of assignments of leases, rents and profits and other Mortgage Loan documents required to be filed or recorded in appropriate public filing and recording offices; and

WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to provide this Limited Power of Attorney pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, Seller does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), acting solely in its capacity as Custodian under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to each Mortgage Loan in Seller’s name, place and stead: (i) to complete (to the extent necessary) and to cause to be submitted for filing or recording in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, all assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, assignments or reassignments of rents, leases and profits, in each case in favor of the Trustee, as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that have been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, and all Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements and all other comparable instruments or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans which are customarily and reasonably necessary or appropriate to assign agreements, documents and instruments pertaining to the Mortgage Loans, in each case in favor of the Trustee as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in, and in

accordance with Section 1.01 of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such assignments and conveyances in favor of the Trustee in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices; and (ii) to prepare, execute and file or record in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, as applicable, all other Mortgage Loan documents to be recorded under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any such Mortgage Loan documents which have not been submitted for filing or recordation by Seller on or before the date hereof or which have been so submitted but are subsequently lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled as a result of actual or purported defects therein, in order to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such documents in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices.

As between the Special Servicer and any third party, no evidence of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian shall be required and such third party may rely upon the Special Servicer’s written statement that it is acting pursuant to the terms of this Limited Power of Attorney.

The enumeration of particular powers herein is not intended in any way to limit the grant to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact of full power and authority with respect to the Mortgage Loans to complete (to the extent necessary), file and record any documents, instruments or other writings referred to above as fully, to all intents and purposes, as Seller might or could do if personally present, hereby ratifying and confirming whatsoever such attorney-in-fact shall and may do by virtue hereof; and Seller agrees and represents to those dealing with such attorney-in-fact that they may rely upon this Limited Power of Attorney until termination thereof under the provisions of the second following paragraph below. As between Seller, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trust and the Certificateholders, neither the Custodian nor the Special Servicer may exercise any right, authority or power granted by this Limited Power of Attorney in a manner which would violate the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but any and all third parties dealing with the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact may rely completely, unconditionally and conclusively on the authority of the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and need not make any inquiry about whether the Custodian or the Special Servicer is acting pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any purchaser, title insurance company or other third party may rely upon a written statement by the Custodian or the Special Servicer that any particular Mortgage Loan or related mortgaged real property in question is subject to and included under this Limited Power of Attorney and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Any act or thing lawfully done hereunder by the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer shall be binding on Seller and Seller’s successors and assigns.

This Limited Power of Attorney shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer, as applicable, until the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated and effective as of November 19, 2021, between Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Mortgage Loan Seller” or “Seller”), and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser”).

RECITALS

The Mortgage Loan Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (as such schedule may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

The Purchaser intends to create a trust (the “Trust”), the primary assets of which will be a segregated pool of commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans, that includes the Mortgage Loans. Beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust (such assets collectively, the “Trust Fund”) will be evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (the “Rating Agencies”). Certain classes of Certificates (the “Registered Certificates”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain classes of Certificates (the “Non-Registered Certificates”) will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1 hereof). Any reference to a provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date. It is anticipated that the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS

 

Securities”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert Williams Shank”) (collectively in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Underwriters. The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates to WFS, Credit Suisse, UBS Securities, Academy, Drexel and Siebert Williams Shank (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Initial Purchasers. The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the date of filing thereof, the “Prospectus”), relating to the Registered Certificates and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.

The Mortgage Loan Seller will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain preliminary prospectus, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the last Time of Sale as defined in the Indemnification Agreement, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.                Agreement to Purchase. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on December 6, 2021 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $185,688,995, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible). The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.

-2- 

Section 2.                Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller).

After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.

(b)               The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before

-3- 

their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(c)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (which delivery shall be subject to clauses (e) and (f) in the proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date, any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be required under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d)               In accordance with Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original of such letter of credit to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Custodian) or, if such original has been submitted by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of this

-4- 

Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by delivering with respect to such letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date; provided that with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as 11, no such assignments shall be made until the earliest of (i) the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, in which case such assignments or amendments shall be made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, (ii) the earlier of (A) 180 days after the Closing Date and (B) such time as any such letter of credit is required to be drawn upon by the Master Servicer and (iii) in the event such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the securitization of the related Controlling Companion Loan, in which case such assignments shall be made in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and for the benefit of the related Companion Holders, until the occurrence of the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

In addition, pursuant to Section 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt of a letter of credit pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, for recording, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller, any Mortgage Loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). The Mortgage

-5- 

Loan Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that the Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

(e)                [Reserved.]

(f)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the following items in its possession: (i) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of any instruments of assignment that are returned to the Custodian by the related public recording office in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Master Servicer); and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or related Whole Loan(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data); provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that some or all of the items in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence have, as of the Closing Date, been posted to websites to which various parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have access, and if any such items have been so posted to any such website(s) to which the Master Servicer has access,

-6- 

such items will be deemed to have been delivered to the Master Servicer in accordance with this sentence; and provided, further, that if the Master Servicer is unable to download such items from such website(s) after making reasonable efforts to do so and provides notice (which may be delivered by electronic means) to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver such items to the Master Servicer by such means as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer. In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to it and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC^® Financial File and CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(g)               Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller. In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.

(h)               The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (except with respect to the Administrative Cost Rate). The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach or to shorten the period available to the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the cure, repurchase or substitution provisions with respect to a Material Defect set forth in Section 5.

(i)                 [Reserved.]

Section 3.                Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.

Section 4.                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser.

The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.

(c)                The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(d)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof. As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.

-8- 

Participant for the Mortgage Loans and (B) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

(f)                The Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of any substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement. For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

(g)               Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Mortgage Loan Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(g).

(h)               [Reserved.]

(i)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File (including, if applicable, any additional documents that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes should be included to enable the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform an Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents are clearly labeled and identified) to the Designated Site, each such Diligence File being organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(j)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E, with a copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the

-9- 

Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor, each of which may be sent by email.

(k)               If, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, then, upon written request of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Asset Representations Reviewer, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written request, any such document; provided, however, that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to deliver such missing document only to the extent that such document is in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or the Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

(l)                 Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee for the Mortgage Loans subject to that Asset Review within sixty (60) days of such written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer. If any fees payable pursuant to this Section 4(l) are paid by the Trust pursuant to Section 12.02(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust for the amount of any such fees.

(m)             The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to such dispute resolution method.

(n)               The Mortgage Loan Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon any failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to (A) pay the fees described under Section 4(l) above within sixty (60) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer or (B) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), provide all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 4(i) of this Agreement and under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(o)               The Mortgage Loan Seller covenants with the Purchaser that if, on or prior to the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date and (ii) the date upon which all Certificates have been sold to parties unaffiliated with the Depositor, as a result of the occurrence of any event that occurred prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller (and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby covenants to promptly notify the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers of the occurrence of any such event to the extent it has knowledge thereof), an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to

-10- 

any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to be delivered in connection with sales of the Certificates by the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers or a dealer, in order to correct any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to comply with applicable law, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall do all things necessary (or, with respect to information relating to the Mortgage Loans, provide all information in its possession) to assist the Depositor to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller (to the extent that such amendment or supplement relates to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loans and/or any information describing the same, as provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller), to the Underwriters and Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as may be necessary, so that the statements in the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as so amended or supplemented, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or so that the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum (as so annexed or supplemented), including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so fail to comply with applicable law. All terms used in this Section 4(o) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have no affirmative obligation to monitor the performance of the Mortgage Loans or any changes in condition or circumstance of any Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, guarantor or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date in connection with its obligations under this Section 4(o). The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(o).

Section 5.                Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution. (a) The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the Responsible Repurchase Party’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, the Responsible Repurchase Party’s discovery of, a Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at the Responsible Repurchase Party’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan,

-11- 

if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Responsible Repurchase Party to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the Responsible Repurchase Party has delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Responsible Repurchase Party is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the Responsible Repurchase Party to have received the recorded document, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date so long as the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Responsible Repurchase Party is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach that causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the

-12- 

Responsible Repurchase Party are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If the Responsible Repurchase Party, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agrees to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Responsible Repurchase Party to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust. The following terms shall apply to any Loss of Value Payment: (i) prior to any agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

The Responsible Repurchase Party’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, however, that no limitation of remedy is implied with respect to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s breach of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes.

The Responsible Repurchase Party agrees that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any “Material Defect” relating to a “Defect” in the related “Mortgage File” (or analogous terms) under the related Non-Serviced PSA shall constitute a Material Defect under this Agreement to the extent the Responsible Repurchase Party repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA by reason of such

-13- 

“Material Defect”; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect (or analogous term) related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall also apply to the related REO Property.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Responsible Repurchase Party may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above to the extent not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If the Responsible Repurchase Party elects to cure such Breach, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable Persons and upon its making such remittance, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Responsible Repurchase Party are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the Responsible Repurchase Party equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the Responsible Repurchase Party.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the Responsible Repurchase Party of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if (i) the Responsible Repurchase Party did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by the Purchaser or by any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (it being understood that knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) prevented the Responsible Repurchase Party from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to

-14- 

deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Responsible Repurchase Party provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)               Whenever one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Defective Loan that is purchased or repurchased, as the case may be, or replaced with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (any such Mortgage Loan, a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon any substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

If any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group is required to be repurchased or substituted, the provisions of Section 2.03(h), Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.

(c)                The Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Party, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Party, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party.

(d)               [Reserved.]

(e)                The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall have no liability to the Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise for any failure of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to perform its obligations provided for thereunder.

(i)                In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

(ii)                In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

Part 47 applies in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

Section 20.            Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 19, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

(b)               After a BHC Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall

(a)                The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of North Carolina.

(b)               The Purchaser’s execution and delivery of, performance under, and compliance with this Agreement, will not violate the Purchaser’s organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other material instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, which default or breach, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Purchaser, is likely to affect materially and adversely the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(d)               No litigation, arbitration, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation is pending or, to the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser that, if determined adversely to the Purchaser, would prohibit the Purchaser from entering into this Agreement or that, in the Purchaser’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(e)                The Purchaser has the full power and authority to consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

Exh B-2-2

EXHIBIT C

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase “the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein). All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.

The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.

1.                  Intentionally Omitted.

2.                  Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

3.                  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by

Exh C-1

(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or Prepayment Premium/Yield Maintenance Charge)) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

4.                  Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

5.                  Intentionally Omitted.

6.                  Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.

7.                  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the

Exh C-2

Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

8.                  Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the

Exh C-3

Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.                  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph 7 above), and equipment and other personal property financing. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.

10.              Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

11.              Financing Statements. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and

Exh C-4

perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

12.              Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

13.              Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.              Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

15.              Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as

Exh C-5

of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents, or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.              Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with the Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor or its servicer (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related depositor under the Non-Serviced PSA or the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer).

17.              No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback).

18.              Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up

to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the least of (a) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (c) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML

Exh C-7

was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

19.              Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels. Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax parcels are created.

Exh C-8

20.              No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property: (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.

21.              No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

22.              REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

Exh C-9

23.              Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

24.              Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

25.              Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

26.              Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, (c) title insurance policy coverage has been obtained with respect to any non-conforming use or structure, or (d) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.              Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material

Exh C-10

licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.              Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii)  breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).

29.              Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A)

Exh C-11

of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, unless an opinion of counsel is delivered as specified in clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).

No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

30.              Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls (or maintenance schedules in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by residential cooperative properties) for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.

31.              Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (“TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right

Exh C-12

to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C; provided that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

32.              Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller, including, but not limited to, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case, a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) Transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1 or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

33.              Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents and the related Mortgage Loan

Exh C-13

documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $10 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34.              Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

35.              Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed.

36.              Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit C, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who

Exh C-14

may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

(A)       The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(B)       The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that the Mortgagee has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;

(C)       The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual/360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)       The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;

(E)       Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, the Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the

Exh C-15

holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);

(F)       The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(G)       The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provide that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(H)       A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the Mortgagee’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(I)       The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;

Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date.

Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (the “Rating Agencies”). Certain classes of Certificates (the “Registered Certificates”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain classes of Certificates (the “Non-Registered Certificates”) will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”).

Any reference to a provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date. It is anticipated that the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

 

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert Williams Shank”) (collectively in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Underwriters. The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates to WFS, Credit Suisse, UBS Securities, Academy, Drexel and Siebert Williams Shank (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Initial Purchasers. The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the date of filing thereof, the “Prospectus”), relating to the Registered Certificates and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.

The Mortgage Loan Seller will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain preliminary prospectus, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the last Time of Sale as defined in the Indemnification Agreement, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the LC Guarantors, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers. The LC Guarantors will provide a payment guarantee with respect to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations under, and as part of, the Indemnification Agreement.

The Mortgage Loan Seller and the LC Guarantors hereby acknowledge that the LC Guarantors, including in the case of certain LC Guarantors as owners of a direct or indirect interest in the Mortgage Loan Seller, will benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Purchaser is not willing to enter into this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the absence of the agreement of the Mortgage Loan Seller and each of the LC Guarantors set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.                Agreement to Purchase. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on December 6, 2021 or such other date

-2- 

as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $117,415,492, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible). The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.

Section 2.                Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s and the LC Guarantors’ obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller). Such assignment excludes Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations.

After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.

(b)               The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan

-3- 

Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(c)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (which delivery shall be subject to clauses (e) and (f) in the proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date, any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions

-4- 

and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be required under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d)               In accordance with Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original of such letter of credit to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Custodian) or, if such original has been submitted by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by delivering with respect to such letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

In addition, pursuant to Section 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt of a letter of credit pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, for recording, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller, any Mortgage Loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the

-5- 

Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that the Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

(e)                [Reserved.]

(f)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the following items in its possession: (i) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of any instruments of assignment that are returned to the Custodian by the related public recording office in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Master Servicer); and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or related Whole Loan(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data); provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that some or

-6- 

all of the items in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence have, as of the Closing Date, been posted to websites to which various parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have access, and if any such items have been so posted to any such website(s) to which the Master Servicer has access, such items will be deemed to have been delivered to the Master Servicer in accordance with this sentence; and provided, further, that if the Master Servicer is unable to download such items from such website(s) after making reasonable efforts to do so and provides notice (which may be delivered by electronic means) to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver such items to the Master Servicer by such means as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer. In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to it and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC^® Financial File and CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(g)               Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller. In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.

(h)               The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (except with respect to the Administrative Cost Rate). The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach or to shorten the period available to the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the cure, repurchase or substitution provisions with respect to a Material Defect set forth in Section 5.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 2, 7, 21, 26, 35 and 37 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, each of which is subject to defeasance, the Mortgage Loan Seller has retained the related Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations. The Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that: (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations, then the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its assignee; and (ii) until such time as the Mortgage Loan Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with

Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.                Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.

Section 4.                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser. (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the date hereof (and, in connection with any replacement of a Defective Loan (as defined in Section 4(f) hereof) with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (also as defined in Section 4(f) hereof), pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, as of the related date of substitution), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-1.

The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.

(c)                The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(d)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date

-8- 

hereof. As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.

(e)                With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date at the request of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller either (i) represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date such Servicing Function Participant is an Initial Sub-Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii)(A) represents and warrants that it has caused such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between such Servicing Function Participant and the Mortgage Loan Seller, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnification of each Certification Party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of the delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable) applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans and (B) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause such Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

(g)               Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Mortgage Loan Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus

and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(g).

(h)               [Reserved.]

(i)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File (including, if applicable, any additional documents that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes should be included to enable the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform an Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents are clearly labeled and identified) to the Designated Site, each such Diligence File being organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(j)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E, with a copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor, each of which may be sent by email.

(k)               If, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, then, upon written request of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Asset Representations Reviewer, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written request, any such document; provided, however, that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to deliver such missing document only to the extent that such document is in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or the Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

(l)                 Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee for the Mortgage Loans subject to that Asset Review within sixty (60) days of such written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer. If any fees payable pursuant to this Section 4(l) are paid by the Trust pursuant to Section 12.02(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust for the amount of any such fees.

(m)             The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to such dispute resolution method.

-10- 

(n)               The Mortgage Loan Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon any failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to (A) pay the fees described under Section 4(l) above within sixty (60) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer or (B) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), provide all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 4(i) of this Agreement and under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(o)               The Mortgage Loan Seller covenants with the Purchaser that if, on or prior to the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date and (ii) the date upon which all Certificates have been sold to parties unaffiliated with the Depositor, as a result of the occurrence of any event that occurred prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller (and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby covenants to promptly notify the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers of the occurrence of any such event to the extent it has knowledge thereof), an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to be delivered in connection with sales of the Certificates by the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers or a dealer, in order to correct any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to comply with applicable law, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall do all things necessary (or, with respect to information relating to the Mortgage Loans, provide all information in its possession) to assist the Depositor to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller (to the extent that such amendment or supplement relates to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loans and/or any information describing the same, as provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller), to the Underwriters and Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as may be necessary, so that the statements in the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as so amended or supplemented, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or so that the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum (as so annexed or supplemented), including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so fail to comply with applicable law. All terms used in this Section 4(o) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have no affirmative obligation to monitor the performance of the Mortgage Loans or any changes in condition or circumstance of any Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, guarantor or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date in connection with its

-11- 

obligations under this Section 4(o). The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(o).

(p)               [Reserved.]

Section 5.                Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution. (a) The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the Responsible Repurchase Party’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, the Responsible Repurchase Party’s discovery of, a Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at the Responsible Repurchase Party’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Responsible Repurchase Party to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the Responsible Repurchase Party has delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Responsible Repurchase Party is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that,

-12- 

if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the Responsible Repurchase Party to have received the recorded document, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date so long as the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Responsible Repurchase Party is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach that causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the Responsible Repurchase Party are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If the Responsible Repurchase Party, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agrees to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Responsible Repurchase Party to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust. The following terms shall apply to any Loss of Value Payment: (i) prior to any agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan;

-13- 

and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

The Responsible Repurchase Party’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, however, that no limitation of remedy is implied with respect to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s breach of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes.

The Responsible Repurchase Party agrees that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any “Material Defect” relating to a “Defect” in the related “Mortgage File” (or analogous terms) under the related Non-Serviced PSA shall constitute a Material Defect under this Agreement to the extent the Responsible Repurchase Party repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA by reason of such “Material Defect”; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect (or analogous term) related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall also apply to the related REO Property.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Responsible Repurchase Party may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above to the extent not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If the Responsible Repurchase Party elects to cure such Breach, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable Persons and upon its making such remittance, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Responsible Repurchase Party are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the Responsible Repurchase Party equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the Responsible Repurchase Party.

-14- 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the Responsible Repurchase Party of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if (i) the Responsible Repurchase Party did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by the Purchaser or by any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (it being understood that knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) prevented the Responsible Repurchase Party from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Responsible Repurchase Party provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)               Whenever one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due

-15- 

with respect to each corresponding Defective Loan that is purchased or repurchased, as the case may be, or replaced with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (any such Mortgage Loan, a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon any substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

If any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group is required to be repurchased or substituted, the provisions of Section 2.03(h), Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.

(c)                The Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Party, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Party, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party.

(d)               [Reserved.]

For value received, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, LCFH, a limited liability limited partnership duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, LC REIT, a series of LCFH, and LC TRS, a series of LCFH, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, the prompt and complete payment when due of the obligations and liabilities, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, of the Mortgage Loan Seller, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of LCFH, to the Purchaser (i) arising out of or under Sections 5 and 9 of this Agreement and (ii) that are owed under such Sections 5 and 9 to the Purchaser or any of its successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement (collectively, the “Obligations”). The guaranty provided for in this Section 19 is one of payment and not of collection. Each of the LC Guarantors hereby waives notice of acceptance of the guaranty provided for in this Section 19 and notice of any of the Obligations to which it may apply, and waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any Obligation, suit or the taking of other action by the Purchaser against, and any other notice to, the Mortgage Loan Seller, any of the LC Guarantors or others.

Each of the LC Guarantors hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, and any and all right to assert against the Purchaser any claim or defense based upon, an election of remedies by the Purchaser which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes the rights of any of the LC Guarantors to proceed against the Mortgage Loan Seller or any other guarantor for reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of the Purchaser to proceed against the Mortgage Loan Seller, any other guarantor, or any other Person or security.

Each of the LC Guarantors acknowledges that it is presently informed of the financial condition of the Mortgage Loan Seller and of all other circumstances which diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations.

When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any of the LC Guarantors, the Purchaser may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies that the Purchaser may have against the Mortgage Loan Seller or any other Person or any security or other guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Purchaser to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Mortgage Loan Seller or any such other Person or to realize upon any security or other guarantee or to

-27- 

exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any such other Person or security or other guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such LC Guarantor, of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Purchaser against such LC Guarantor.

Section 20.            Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i)                In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

(ii)                In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

“BHC Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. §1841(k).

“Covered Party” means any party to this Agreement that is one of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b), or any subsidiary of such a covered bank to which 12 C.F.R. Part 47 applies in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

-28- 

Section 21.            Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 20, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

(b)               After a BHC Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.

The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.

1.                  Intentionally Omitted.

2.                  Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

3.                  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by

Exh. C-1

(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or Prepayment Premium/Yield Maintenance Charge)) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

4.                  Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

5.                  Intentionally Omitted.

6.                  Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a)(1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.

7.                  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the

Exh. C-2

Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

8.                  Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the

Exh. C-3

Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.                  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph 7 above), and equipment and other personal property financing. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.

10.              Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

11.              Financing Statements. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and

Exh. C-4

perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

12.              Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

13.              Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.              Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

15.              Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as

Exh. C-5

of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents, or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.              Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with the Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor or its servicer (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related depositor under the Non-Serviced PSA or the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer).

17.              No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback).

18.              Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up

Exh. C-6

to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the least of (a) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (c) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML

Exh. C-7

was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

19.              Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels. Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax parcels are created.

Exh. C-8

20.              No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property: (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.

21.              No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

22.              REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

Exh. C-9

23.              Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

24.              Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

25.              Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

26.              Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, (c) title insurance policy coverage has been obtained with respect to any non-conforming use or structure, or (d) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.              Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material

Exh. C-10

licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.              Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii)  breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).

29.              Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A)

Exh. C-11

of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, unless an opinion of counsel is delivered as specified in clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).

No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

30.              Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls (or maintenance schedules in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by residential cooperative properties) for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.

31.              Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (“TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right

Exh. C-12

to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C; provided that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

32.              Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller, including, but not limited to, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case, a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) Transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1 or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

33.              Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents and the related Mortgage Loan

Exh. C-13

documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $10 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34.              Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

35.              Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed.

36.              Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit C, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who

Exh. C-14

may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

(A)       The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(B)       The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that the Mortgagee has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;

(C)       The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual/360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)       The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;

(E)       Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, the Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the

Exh. C-15

holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);

(F)       The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(G)       The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provide that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(H)       A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the Mortgagee’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(I)       The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;

(J)       Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)       In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(L)       Provided that the Mortgagee cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with the Mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

Exh. C-16

37.              Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects legal and have met with customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

38.              Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.

39.              Intentionally Omitted.

40.              No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in this Exhibit C. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

41.              Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

42.              Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-4, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of a Mortgagor with respect to another Mortgage Loan. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (42) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

Exh. C-17

43.              Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II environmental site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related Mortgagee; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated or contained in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch Ratings, Inc. and/or A.M. Best; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

44.              Intentionally Omitted.

45.              Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) (A) is a Member of the Appraisal Institute or (B) has a comparable professional designation and possesses the level of experience required to evaluate commercial real estate collateral, and (ii) to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

Exh. C-18

46.              Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

47.              Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan.

48.              Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller. Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date.

49.              Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Mortgage Loan Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of this Exhibit C, “Mortgagee” means the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Mortgage, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.

 EXECUTION VERSION

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated and effective as of November 19, 2021, between Column Financial, Inc., as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Mortgage Loan Seller” or “Seller”), and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser”).

RECITALS

The Mortgage Loan Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (as such schedule may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

The Purchaser intends to create a trust (the “Trust”), the primary assets of which will be a segregated pool of commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans, that includes the Mortgage Loans. Beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust (such assets collectively, the “Trust Fund”) will be evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (the “Rating Agencies”). Certain classes of Certificates (the “Registered Certificates”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain classes of Certificates (the “Non-Registered Certificates”) will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1 hereof). Any reference to a provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date. It is anticipated that the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS

 

Securities”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert Williams Shank”) (collectively in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Underwriters. The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates to WFS, Credit Suisse, UBS Securities, Academy, Drexel and Siebert Williams Shank (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Initial Purchasers. The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the date of filing thereof, the “Prospectus”), relating to the Registered Certificates and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.

The Mortgage Loan Seller will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain preliminary prospectus, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the last Time of Sale as defined in the Indemnification Agreement, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.                Agreement to Purchase. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on December 6, 2021 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $99,917,428, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible). The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.

-2- 

Section 2.                Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. (a)  Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller), except any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations.

After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.

(b)               The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates

-3- 

(other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(c)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (which delivery shall be subject to clauses (e) and (f) in the proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date, any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be required under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d)               In accordance with Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original of such letter of credit to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Custodian) or, if such original has been submitted by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the

-4- 

Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by delivering with respect to such letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

In addition, pursuant to Section 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt of a letter of credit pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, for recording, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller, any Mortgage Loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing

-5- 

Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that the Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

(e)                [Reserved.]

(f)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the following items in its possession: (i) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of any instruments of assignment that are returned to the Custodian by the related public recording office in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Master Servicer); and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or related Whole Loan(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data); provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that some or all of the items in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence have, as of the Closing Date, been posted to websites to which various parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have access, and if any such items have been so posted to any such website(s) to which the Master Servicer has access, such items will be deemed to have been delivered to the Master Servicer in accordance with this sentence; and provided, further, that if the Master Servicer is unable to download such items from such website(s) after making reasonable efforts to do so and provides notice (which may be delivered by electronic means) to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver such items to the Master Servicer by such means as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer. In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to it and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, all

-6- 

unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC^® Financial File and CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(g)               Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller. In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.

(h)               The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (except with respect to the Administrative Cost Rate). The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach or to shorten the period available to the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the cure, repurchase or substitution provisions with respect to a Material Defect set forth in Section 5.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 5, 16, 32, 36, 39 and 42 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, each of which is subject to defeasance, the Mortgage Loan Seller has retained the related Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations. The Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that: (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations, then the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its assignee; and (ii) until such time as the Mortgage Loan Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.                Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of

-7- 

the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.

Section 4.                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser. (a)  The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the date hereof (and, in connection with any replacement of a Defective Loan (as defined in Section 4(f) hereof) with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (also as defined in Section 4(f) hereof), pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, as of the related date of substitution), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-1. The Purchaser hereby makes, as of the date hereof, to and for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Seller, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-2.

(b)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule C. The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.

(c)                The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(d)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof. As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.

(e)                With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller either (i) represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date such Servicing Function Participant is an Initial Sub-Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii)(A) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and the Mortgage Loan Seller, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnification of each Certification Party from and against any and all claims,

-8- 

losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of the delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable) applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans and (B) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

(f)                The Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of any substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement. For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

(g)               Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Mortgage Loan Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(g).

(h)               [Reserved.]

(i)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File (including, if applicable, any additional documents that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes should be included to enable the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform an Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents are clearly labeled and identified) to the Designated Site, each such Diligence File being organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller.

-9- 

(j)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E, with a copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor, each of which may be sent by email.

(k)               If, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, then, upon written request of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Asset Representations Reviewer, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written request, any such document; provided, however, that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to deliver such missing document only to the extent that such document is in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or the Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

(l)                 Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee for the Mortgage Loans subject to that Asset Review within sixty (60) days of such written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer. If any fees payable pursuant to this Section 4(l) are paid by the Trust pursuant to Section 12.02(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust for the amount of any such fees.

(m)             The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to such dispute resolution method.

(n)               The Mortgage Loan Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon any failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to (A) pay the fees described under Section 4(l) above within sixty (60) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer or (B) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), provide all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 4(i) of this Agreement and under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(o)               The Mortgage Loan Seller covenants with the Purchaser that if, on or prior to the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date and (ii) the date upon which all Certificates have been sold to parties unaffiliated with the Depositor, as a result of the occurrence of any event that occurred prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller (and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby covenants to promptly notify

-10- 

the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers of the occurrence of any such event to the extent it has knowledge thereof), an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to be delivered in connection with sales of the Certificates by the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers or a dealer, in order to correct any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to comply with applicable law, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall do all things necessary (or, with respect to information relating to the Mortgage Loans, provide all information in its possession) to assist the Depositor to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller (to the extent that such amendment or supplement relates to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loans and/or any information describing the same, as provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller), to the Underwriters and Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as may be necessary, so that the statements in the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as so amended or supplemented, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or so that the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum (as so annexed or supplemented), including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so fail to comply with applicable law. All terms used in this Section 4(o) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have no affirmative obligation to monitor the performance of the Mortgage Loans or any changes in condition or circumstance of any Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, guarantor or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date in connection with its obligations under this Section 4(o). The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(o).

Section 5.                Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution. (a)  The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the Responsible Repurchase Party’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, the Responsible Repurchase Party’s discovery of, a Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at the Responsible Repurchase Party’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional

-11- 

expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Responsible Repurchase Party to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the Responsible Repurchase Party has delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Responsible Repurchase Party is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the Responsible Repurchase Party to have received the recorded document, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date so long as the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Responsible Repurchase Party is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach that causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without

-12- 

regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the Responsible Repurchase Party are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If the Responsible Repurchase Party, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agrees to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Responsible Repurchase Party to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust. The following terms shall apply to any Loss of Value Payment: (i) prior to any agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

The Responsible Repurchase Party’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, however, that no limitation of remedy is implied with respect to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s breach of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes.

The Responsible Repurchase Party agrees that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any “Material Defect” relating to a “Defect” in the related “Mortgage File” (or analogous terms) under the related Non-Serviced PSA shall constitute a Material Defect under this

-13- 

Agreement to the extent the Responsible Repurchase Party repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA by reason of such “Material Defect”; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect (or analogous term) related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall also apply to the related REO Property.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Responsible Repurchase Party may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above to the extent not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If the Responsible Repurchase Party elects to cure such Breach, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable Persons and upon its making such remittance, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Responsible Repurchase Party are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the Responsible Repurchase Party equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the Responsible Repurchase Party.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the Responsible Repurchase Party of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if (i) the Responsible Repurchase Party did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by the Purchaser or by any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (it being understood that knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) prevented the Responsible Repurchase Party from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part,

-14- 

a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Responsible Repurchase Party provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)               Whenever one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Defective Loan that is purchased or repurchased, as the case may be, or replaced with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (any such Mortgage Loan, a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon any substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

If any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group is required to be repurchased or substituted, the provisions of Section 2.03(h), Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.

-15- 

(c)                The Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Party, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Party, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party.

(d)               [Reserved.]

(e)                The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall have no liability to the Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise for any failure of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to perform its obligations provided for thereunder.

(f)                The Mortgage Loan Seller will provide the Responsible Repurchase Party copies of any 15Ga-1 Notice delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Exh. B-2-2

EXHIBIT C

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase “the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein). All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.

The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.

1.                  Intentionally Omitted.

2.                  Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

3.                  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is

Exh. C-1

enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or Prepayment Premium/Yield Maintenance Charge)) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

4.                  Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

5.                  Intentionally Omitted.

6.                  Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.

Exh. C-2

7.                  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

8.                  Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate,

Exh. C-3

materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.                  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph 7 above), and equipment and other personal property financing. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.

10.              Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

11.              Financing Statements. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1

Exh. C-4

financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

12.              Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

13.              Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.              Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

Exh. C-5

15.              Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents, or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.              Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with the Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor or its servicer (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related depositor under the Non-Serviced PSA or the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer).

17.              No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback).

18.              Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) or “A3” (or the

Exh. C-6

equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the least of (a) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (c) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans

Exh. C-7

intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

19.              Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels. Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is

Exh. C-8

subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax parcels are created.

20.              No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property: (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.

21.              No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

22.              REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan

Exh. C-9

or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

23.              Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

24.              Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

25.              Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

26.              Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, (c) title insurance policy coverage has been obtained with respect to any non-conforming use or structure, or (d) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

Exh. C-10

27.              Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.              Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).

29.              Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which

Exh. C-11

will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, unless an opinion of counsel is delivered as specified in clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).

No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

30.              Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls (or maintenance schedules in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by residential cooperative properties) for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.

Exh. C-12

31.              Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (“TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C; provided that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

32.              Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller, including, but not limited to, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case, a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) Transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1 or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 or (iv) Permitted

Exh. C-13

Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

33.              Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $10 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34.              Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all

Exh. C-14

other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

35.              Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed.

36.              Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit C, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

(A)             The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(B)              The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that the Mortgagee has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;

(C)              The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual/360 basis, substantially amortizes);

Exh. C-15

(D)             The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;

(E)              Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, the Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);

(F)               The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(G)             The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provide that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(H)             A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the Mortgagee’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(I)                The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;

(J)                Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or

Exh. C-16

restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)             In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(L)              Provided that the Mortgagee cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with the Mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

37.              Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects legal and have met with customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

38.              Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.

39.              Intentionally Omitted.

40.              No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of the Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in this Exhibit C. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

Exh. C-17

41.              Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

42.              Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-4, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of a Mortgagor with respect to another Mortgage Loan. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (42) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

43.              Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II environmental site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related Mortgagee; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated or contained in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch Ratings, Inc. and/or A.M. Best; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take

Exh. C-18

action. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

44.              Intentionally Omitted.

45.              Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) (A) is a Member of the Appraisal Institute or (B) has a comparable professional designation and possesses the level of experience required to evaluate commercial real estate collateral, and (ii) to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

46.              Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

47.              Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan.

48.              Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller. Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date.

49.              Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Mortgage Loan Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of this Exhibit C, “Mortgagee” means the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Mortgage, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.

SCHEDULE C

EXCEPTIONS TO MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth below are listed by the number of the related representation and warranty set forth on Exhibit C and the mortgage loan name and number identified on Exhibit A. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule C shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit C or, if not defined therein, in this Agreement.

 

Representation Number on Exhibit C	Mortgage Loan Name and Number as Identified on Exhibit A	Description of Exception
(8) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance	OmniMax Industrial Portfolio II (Loan No. 5)	OmniMax International, LLC (“OmniMax”), the sole tenant at each of the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to two master leases (each a “Master Lease”), has a right of first offer (“ROFO”) to purchase the Mortgaged Properties (except for any related property for which such lease is terminated) in the event of a proposed sale of the Mortgaged Properties to a third party.  The right of first offer has been subordinated to the Mortgage Loan documents and does not apply to a transfer of the Mortgaged Properties in connection with a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar action in respect of such Mortgaged Properties but will apply to any subsequent transfer of such Mortgaged Properties. Additionally, to the extent that OmniMax elects to exercise such ROFO, the purchase must be for all of the Mortgaged Properties which are subject to the applicable Master Lease.
(8) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance	Hamilton Apartment Portfolio (Loan No. 16)	Each of the Mortgagors, as ground lessees under their respective Mortgaged Properties, and the applicable landlord, as ground lessor, has a right of first offer (“ROFO”) to the other’s respective interests in the applicable fee estate, the land and/or its interest in the applicable lease in the event the ground lessor or the applicable ground lessee decides to sell all or substantially all of its interest in the related premises. The applicable ROFO has been subordinated to the Mortgage. The applicable ROFO does not apply to transfers of the applicable premises and/or the ground lessor’s interest in the applicable lease (i) to any affiliate of the ground lessor or (ii) to any fee mortgagee, or in connection with any foreclosure or deed-in-lieu in respect of the premises, any designee of any fee mortgagee or any purchaser of the premises in foreclosure.
(9) Junior Liens	980 Madison (Loan No. 6)	There is a mezzanine loan in the original principal amount of $40,000,000 secured by the ownership interests in the Mortgagor.

Sch. C-1

 

Representation Number on Exhibit C	Mortgage Loan Name and Number as Identified on Exhibit A	Description of Exception
(26) Local Law Compliance	Woods Crossing Apartments (Loan No. 36)	The use of the Mortgaged Property as a commercial apartment is a pre-existing legally non-conforming use, as commercial apartment use is not a permitted use under current zoning laws. In the event of a casualty in excess 25% of its appraised valuation, the Mortgaged Property may only be restored in accordance with the current zoning laws. Additionally, in the event a legal non-conforming use ceases for any reason for more than 90 days, any subsequent use must be in conformance with the current zoning laws.
(27) Licenses and Permits	980 Madison (Loan No. 6)	As of the Mortgage Loan origination date, the temporary certificate of occupancy for the Mortgaged Property is currently expired. The Mortgagor represented that the lack of the renewal of the expired temporary certificate of occupancy does not have a material adverse effect on the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgagor was required to obtain a renewal of the expired temporary certificate of occupancy within 30 days of the Mortgage Loan origination date (which 30-day period will be extended so long as the Mortgagor is diligently pursuing the same).
(28) Recourse Obligations	OmniMax Industrial Portfolio II (Loan No. 5)	Recourse for the misappropriation of rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards is limited to the “intentional misapplication or conversion” of such rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards.

In lieu of the environmental indemnity, at Mortgage Loan origination the Mortgagor procured a pollution legal liability policy (“PLL”) for a term that extends three years beyond the term or the Mortgage Loan. The PLL includes a $100,000 self-insured retention deductible which is a recourse obligation of the guarantor.
(30) Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls	980 Madison (Loan No. 6)	The Mortgage Loan documents do not require the delivery of quarterly operating statements. During the continuance of a Trigger Period, monthly operating statements are required to be delivered.
(32) Due on Sale or Encumbrance	980 Madison (Loan No. 6)	There is full recourse for any voluntary transfer of fee simple title to the Mortgaged Property or any sale of the ownership interests in the Mortgagor which results in a change of control of the Mortgagor (unless expressly permitted by the loan documents).
(42) Organization of Mortgagor	Woods Crossing Apartments (Loan No. 36)   Clubside Apartments (Loan No. 39)   Beach Bluff Apartments (Loan No. 42)	The Mortgagors under each of the related Mortgage Loans are affiliates of each other.

(“Depositor”), Seller is selling certain commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) to Depositor;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator, tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Special Servicer are granted certain powers, responsibilities and authority in connection with the completion and the filing and recording of assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements, reassignments of assignments of leases, rents and profits and other Mortgage Loan documents required to be filed or recorded in appropriate public filing and recording offices; and

WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to provide this Limited Power of Attorney pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, Seller does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), acting solely in its capacity as Custodian under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to each Mortgage Loan in Seller’s name, place and stead: (i) to complete (to the extent necessary) and to cause to be submitted for filing or recording in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, all assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, assignments or reassignments of rents, leases and profits, in each case in favor of the Trustee, as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that have been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, and all Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements and all other comparable instruments or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans which are customarily and reasonably necessary

Exh. F-1

or appropriate to assign agreements, documents and instruments pertaining to the Mortgage Loans, in each case in favor of the Trustee as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in, and in accordance with Section 1.01 of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such assignments and conveyances in favor of the Trustee in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices; and (ii) to prepare, execute and file or record in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, as applicable, all other Mortgage Loan documents to be recorded under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any such Mortgage Loan documents which have not been submitted for filing or recordation by Seller on or before the date hereof or which have been so submitted but are subsequently lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled as a result of actual or purported defects therein, in order to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such documents in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices.

The enumeration of particular powers herein is not intended in any way to limit the grant to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact of full power and authority with respect to the Mortgage Loans to complete (to the extent necessary), file and record any documents, instruments or other writings referred to above as fully, to all intents and purposes, as Seller might or could do if personally present, hereby ratifying and confirming whatsoever such attorney-in-fact shall and may do by virtue hereof; and Seller agrees and represents to those dealing with such attorney-in-fact that they may rely upon this Limited Power of Attorney until termination thereof under the provisions of the second following paragraph below. As between Seller, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trust and the Certificateholders, neither the Custodian nor the Special Servicer may exercise any right, authority or power granted by this Limited Power of Attorney in a manner which would violate the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but any and all third parties dealing with the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact may rely completely, unconditionally and conclusively on the authority of the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and need not make any inquiry about whether the Custodian or the Special Servicer is acting pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any purchaser, title insurance company or other third party may rely upon a written statement by the Custodian or the Special Servicer that any particular Mortgage Loan or related mortgaged real property in question is subject to and included under this Limited Power of Attorney and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Any act or thing lawfully done hereunder by the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer shall be binding on Seller and Seller’s successors and assigns.

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated and effective as of November 19, 2021, between UBS AG, by and through its branch office at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Mortgage Loan Seller” or “Seller”), and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser”).

RECITALS

The Mortgage Loan Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (as such schedule may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

The Purchaser intends to create a trust (the “Trust”), the primary assets of which will be a segregated pool of commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans, that includes the Mortgage Loans. Beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust (such assets collectively, the “Trust Fund”) will be evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (the “Rating Agencies”). Certain classes of Certificates (the “Registered Certificates”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain classes of Certificates (the “Non-Registered Certificates”) will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1 hereof). Any reference to a provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date. It is anticipated that the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

 

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert Williams Shank”) (collectively in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Underwriters. The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates to WFS, Credit Suisse, UBS Securities, Academy, Drexel and Siebert Williams Shank (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Initial Purchasers. The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the date of filing thereof, the “Prospectus”), relating to the Registered Certificates and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.

The Mortgage Loan Seller will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain preliminary prospectus, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the last Time of Sale as defined in the Indemnification Agreement, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.                Agreement to Purchase. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on December 6, 2021 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $70,029,223, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible). The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price

-2- 

to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.

Section 2.                Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller), except any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations.

After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.

(b)               The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and

-3- 

interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(c)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (which delivery shall be subject to clauses (e) and (f) in the proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date, any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be required under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d)               In accordance with Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original of such letter of credit to the Master

-4- 

Servicer (with a copy to the Custodian) or, if such original has been submitted by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by delivering with respect to such letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

In addition, pursuant to Section 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt of a letter of credit pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, for recording, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller, any Mortgage Loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such

parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that the Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

(e)                [Reserved.]

(f)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the following items in its possession: (i) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of any instruments of assignment that are returned to the Custodian by the related public recording office in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Master Servicer); and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or related Whole Loan(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data); provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that some or all of the items in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence have, as of the Closing Date, been posted to websites to which various parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have access, and if any such items have been so posted to any such website(s) to which the Master Servicer has access, such items will be deemed to have been delivered to the Master Servicer in accordance with this

-6- 

sentence; and provided, further, that if the Master Servicer is unable to download such items from such website(s) after making reasonable efforts to do so and provides notice (which may be delivered by electronic means) to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver such items to the Master Servicer by such means as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer. In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to it and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC^® Financial File and CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(g)               Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller. In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.

(h)               The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (except with respect to the Administrative Cost Rate). The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach or to shorten the period available to the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the cure, repurchase or substitution provisions with respect to a Material Defect set forth in Section 5.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 22, 29, 34, 38, 47, 60 and 61 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, each of which is subject to defeasance, the Mortgage Loan Seller has retained the related Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations. The Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that: (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations, then the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its assignee; and (ii) until such time as the Mortgage Loan Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.                Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.

Section 4.                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser. (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the date hereof (and, in connection with any replacement of a Defective Loan (as defined in Section 4(f) hereof) with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (also as defined in Section 4(f) hereof), pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, as of the related date of substitution), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-1. The Purchaser hereby makes, as of the date hereof, to and for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Seller, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-2.

(b)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule C. The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.

(c)                The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(d)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof. As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.

-8- 

(e)                With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller either (i) represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date such Servicing Function Participant is an Initial Sub-Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) (A) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and the Mortgage Loan Seller, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnification of each Certification Party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of the delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable) applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans and (B) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

(f)                The Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of any substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement. For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

(g)               Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Mortgage Loan Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(g).

(h)               [Reserved.]

(i)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File (including, if applicable, any additional documents that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes should be included to enable the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform an Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents are clearly labeled and identified) to the Designated Site, each such Diligence File being organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(j)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E, with a copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor, each of which may be sent by email.

(k)               If, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, then, upon written request of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Asset Representations Reviewer, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written request, any such document; provided, however, that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to deliver such missing document only to the extent that such document is in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or the Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

(l)                 Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee for the Mortgage Loans subject to that Asset Review within sixty (60) days of such written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer. If any fees payable pursuant to this Section 4(l) are paid by the Trust pursuant to Section 12.02(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust for the amount of any such fees.

(m)             The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to such dispute resolution method.

Representations Reviewer or (B) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), provide all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 4(i) of this Agreement and under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(o)               The Mortgage Loan Seller covenants with the Purchaser that if, on or prior to the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date and (ii) the date upon which all Certificates have been sold to parties unaffiliated with the Depositor, as a result of the occurrence of any event that occurred prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller (and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby covenants to promptly notify the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers of the occurrence of any such event to the extent it has knowledge thereof), an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to be delivered in connection with sales of the Certificates by the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers or a dealer, in order to correct any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to comply with applicable law, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall do all things necessary (or, with respect to information relating to the Mortgage Loans, provide all information in its possession) to assist the Depositor to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller (to the extent that such amendment or supplement relates to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loans and/or any information describing the same, as provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller), to the Underwriters and Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as may be necessary, so that the statements in the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as so amended or supplemented, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or so that the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum (as so annexed or supplemented), including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so fail to comply with applicable law. All terms used in this Section 4(o) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have no affirmative obligation to monitor the performance of the Mortgage Loans or any changes in condition or circumstance of any Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, guarantor or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date in connection with its obligations under this Section 4(o).

Section 5.                Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution. (a) The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the Responsible Repurchase Party’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, the Responsible Repurchase Party’s discovery of, a Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at the Responsible Repurchase Party’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Responsible Repurchase Party to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the Responsible Repurchase Party has delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Responsible Repurchase Party is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the Responsible Repurchase Party to have received the recorded document, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18)

-12- 

months after the Closing Date so long as the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Responsible Repurchase Party is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach that causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the Responsible Repurchase Party are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If the Responsible Repurchase Party, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agrees to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Responsible Repurchase Party to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust. The following terms shall apply to any Loss of Value Payment: (i) prior to any agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Enforcing Servicer, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury

-13- 

Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

The Responsible Repurchase Party’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, however, that no limitation of remedy is implied with respect to the Responsible Repurchase Party’s breach of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes.

The Responsible Repurchase Party agrees that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any “Material Defect” relating to a “Defect” in the related “Mortgage File” (or analogous terms) under the related Non-Serviced PSA shall constitute a Material Defect under this Agreement to the extent the Responsible Repurchase Party repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA by reason of such “Material Defect”; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect (or analogous term) related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall also apply to the related REO Property.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Responsible Repurchase Party may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above to the extent not previously paid by the Responsible Repurchase Party to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If the Responsible Repurchase Party elects to cure such Breach, then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable Persons and upon its making such remittance, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Responsible Repurchase Party are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the Responsible Repurchase Party equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the Responsible Repurchase Party.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice

-14- 

of such Material Defect shall relieve the Responsible Repurchase Party of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if (i) the Responsible Repurchase Party did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by the Purchaser or by any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (it being understood that knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) prevented the Responsible Repurchase Party from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Responsible Repurchase Party provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)               Whenever one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein, and this Agreement supersedes any prior agreements and/or understandings, written or oral, with respect to such matters; provided, however, that in no event shall this provision be construed to limit the effect of the Indemnification Agreement or the memorandum of understanding dated November 3, 2021 among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser and certain other parties or any separate acknowledgments and agreements executed and delivered pursuant to such memorandum of understanding.

Section 19.            Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i)         In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

(ii)       In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

Part 47 applies in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

-26- 

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 20.            Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 19, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

(b)       After a BHC Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

(e)                The Mortgage Loan Seller is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of, performance under and compliance with this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Mortgage Loan Seller’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely the ability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(l)                 The Mortgage Loan Seller does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or obligations beyond its ability to pay such debts and obligations as they mature.

(d)               No litigation, arbitration, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation is pending or, to the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser that, if determined adversely to the Purchaser, would prohibit the Purchaser from entering into this Agreement or that, in the Purchaser’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(e)                The Purchaser has the full power and authority to consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

Exh. B-2-2

EXHIBIT C

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase “the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein). All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.

The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.

1.                  Intentionally Omitted.

2.                  Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

3.                  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws

Exh. C-1

affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or Prepayment Premium/Yield Maintenance Charge)) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

4.                  Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

5.                  Intentionally Omitted.

6.             Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.

7.                  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the

Exh. C-2

assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

8.                  Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted

Exh. C-3

Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.                  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph 7 above), and equipment and other personal property financing. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.

10.              Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

11.              Financing Statements. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate

Exh. C-4

such Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

12.              Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

13.              Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.              Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

15.              Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental

Exh. C-5

investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents, or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.              Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with the Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor or its servicer (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related depositor under the Non-Serviced PSA or the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer).

17.              No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback).

18.              Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least

Exh. C-6

“BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the least of (a) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (c) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was

Exh. C-7

obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

19.              Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels. Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax parcels are created.

20.              No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property: (a) all

Exh. C-8

material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.

21.              No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

22.              REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

23.              Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

Exh. C-9

24.              Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

25.              Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

26.              Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, (c) title insurance policy coverage has been obtained with respect to any non-conforming use or structure, or (d) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.              Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan.

Exh. C-10

The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.              Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii)  breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).

29.              Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage

Exh. C-11

Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, unless an opinion of counsel is delivered as specified in clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).

No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

30.              Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls (or maintenance schedules in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by residential cooperative properties) for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.

31.              Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (“TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C; provided that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times

Exh. C-12

the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

32.              Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller, including, but not limited to, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case, a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) Transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1 or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

33.              Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $10 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further

provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34.              Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

35.              Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed.

36.              Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit C, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and

Exh. C-14

any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

(A)       The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(B)       The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that the Mortgagee has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;

(C)       The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual/360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)       The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;

(E)       Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, the Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);

Exh. C-15

(F)       The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(G)       The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provide that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(H)       A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the Mortgagee’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(I)       The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;

(J)       Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)       In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(L)       Provided that the Mortgagee cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with the Mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

37.              Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects legal and have met with customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

Exh. C-16

38.              Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.

39.              Intentionally Omitted.

40.              No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in this Exhibit C. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

41.              Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

42.              Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-4, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of a Mortgagor with respect to another Mortgage Loan. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (42) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

43.              Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II environmental site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”)

Exh. C-17

meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related Mortgagee; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated or contained in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch Ratings, Inc. and/or A.M. Best; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

44.              Intentionally Omitted.

45.              Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) (A) is a Member of the Appraisal Institute or (B) has a comparable professional designation and possesses the level of experience required to evaluate commercial real estate collateral, and (ii) to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

46.              Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Agreement is

Exh. C-18

true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

47.              Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan.

48.              Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller. Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date.

49.              Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Mortgage Loan Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of this Exhibit C, “Mortgagee” means the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Mortgage, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.

The tenant has agreed that such right of first refusal does not apply in connection with a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. However, such right would apply to subsequent transfers. The lease for Cabela’s, the sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property, includes a provision prohibiting the related landlord from selling, transferring or otherwise conveying the Mortgaged Property to an entity or affiliate thereof whose primary business is operating a hunting, fishing, camping and outdoor gear store.

Best Company, Inc. and subject to Rating Agency Confirmation and (ii) in the event S&P is rating any securitization, at the time of the renewal (or earlier expiration or cancellation) of such policy, such policy satisfies the S&P financial strength rating criteria whether or not such insurance policy meets the A.M. Best Company, Inc. rating criteria.   The threshold for the Mortgagee having the right to hold and disburse insurance proceeds is the greater of (i) $250,000 and (ii) five percent (5.00%) of the allocated loan amount of the affected individual Mortgaged Property.

WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to provide this Limited Power of Attorney pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, Seller does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), acting solely in its capacity as Custodian under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to each Mortgage Loan in Seller’s name, place and stead: (i) to complete (to the extent necessary) and to cause to be submitted for filing or recording in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, all assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, assignments or reassignments of rents, leases and profits, in each case in favor of the Trustee, as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that have been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, and all Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements and all other comparable instruments or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans which are customarily and reasonably necessary

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated and effective as of November 19, 2021, among BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC, as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Mortgage Loan Seller” or “Seller”), Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. (“BSPRT”), and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser”).

RECITALS

The Mortgage Loan Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (as such schedule may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

The Purchaser intends to create a trust (the “Trust”), the primary assets of which will be a segregated pool of commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans, that includes the Mortgage Loans. Beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust (such assets collectively, the “Trust Fund”) will be evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (the “Rating Agencies”). Certain classes of Certificates (the “Registered Certificates”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain classes of Certificates (the “Non-Registered Certificates”) will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1 hereof). Any reference to a provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date. It is anticipated that the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

 

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert Williams Shank”) (collectively in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Underwriters. The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates to WFS, Credit Suisse, UBS Securities, Academy, Drexel and Siebert Williams Shank (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Initial Purchasers. The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the date of filing thereof, the “Prospectus”), relating to the Registered Certificates and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.

The Mortgage Loan Seller and BSPRT will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain preliminary prospectus, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the last Time of Sale as defined in the Indemnification Agreement), the “Preliminary Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto), the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Mortgage Loan Seller, BSPRT, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers. BSPRT will provide a payment guarantee with respect to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations under, and as part of, the Indemnification Agreement.

The Mortgage Loan Seller and BSPRT hereby acknowledge that BSPRT, as owner of a direct interest in the Mortgage Loan Seller, will benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Purchaser is not willing to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the agreement by BSPRT to the terms hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.                Agreement to Purchase. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on December 6, 2021 or such other

-2-

date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $65,102,232, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible). The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.

Section 2.                Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s and BSPRT’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller), except any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations.

After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.

(b)               The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan

-3-

Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(c)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (which delivery shall be subject to clauses (e) and (f) in the proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date, any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of

-4-

credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be required under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d)               In accordance with Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original of such letter of credit to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Custodian) or, if such original has been submitted by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by delivering with respect to such letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

In addition, pursuant to Section 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt of a letter of credit pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, for recording, at the expense of

-5-

the Mortgage Loan Seller, any Mortgage Loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that the Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

(e)                In addition, with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as Mortgage Loan Number 30 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which is secured by a Mortgaged Property that is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), provide any such required notice to or make any such required request of the related franchisor (with a copy to the Master Servicer); and, if the Mortgage Loan Seller receives notice from the Master Servicer that any such comfort letter with respect to a franchise agreement has not been received within the timeframe provided under Section 2.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within a commercially reasonable time after receipt of such notice, obtain a replacement comfort letter in substantially the same form as the existing comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) in favor of the Trust.

(f)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the following items in its possession: (i) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of any instruments of assignment that are returned to the Custodian by the related public recording office in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Master Servicer) and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, originals or copies of all financial

In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to it and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC^® Financial File and CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(g)               Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller. In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.

(h)               The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (except with

-7-

respect to the Administrative Cost Rate). The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach or to shorten the period available to the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the cure, repurchase or substitution provisions with respect to a Material Defect set forth in Section 5.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 14, 30 and 55 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, each of which is subject to defeasance, the Mortgage Loan Seller has retained the related Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations. The Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that: (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations, then the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its assignee; and (ii) until such time as the Mortgage Loan Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.                Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.

Section 4.                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller, BSPRT and the Purchaser. (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the date hereof (and, in connection with any replacement of a Defective Loan (as defined in Section 4(f) hereof) with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (also as defined in Section 4(f) hereof), pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, as of the related date of substitution), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-1.

(c)                The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(d)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof. As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.

(e)                With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller either (i) represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date such Servicing Function Participant is an Initial Sub-Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) (A) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and the Mortgage Loan Seller, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnification of each Certification Party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of the delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable) applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans and (B) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

(f)                The Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of any substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.

-9-

For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

(g)               Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Mortgage Loan Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(g).

(h)               [Reserved.]

(i)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File (including, if applicable, any additional documents that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes should be included to enable the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform an Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents are clearly labeled and identified) to the Designated Site, each such Diligence File being organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(j)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E, with a copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor, each of which may be sent by email.

(k)               If, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, then, upon written request of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Asset Representations Reviewer, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written request, any such document; provided, however, that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to deliver such missing document only

-10-

to the extent that such document is in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or the Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

(l)                 Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee for the Mortgage Loans subject to that Asset Review within sixty (60) days of such written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer. If any fees payable pursuant to this Section 4(l) are paid by the Trust pursuant to Section 12.02(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust for the amount of any such fees.

(m)             The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to such dispute resolution method.

(n)               The Mortgage Loan Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon any failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to (A) pay the fees described under Section 4(l) above within sixty (60) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer or (B) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), provide all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 4(i) of this Agreement and under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(o)               The Mortgage Loan Seller covenants with the Purchaser that if, on or prior to the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date and (ii) the date upon which all Certificates have been sold to parties unaffiliated with the Depositor, as a result of the occurrence of any event that occurred prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller (and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby covenants to promptly notify the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers of the occurrence of any such event to the extent it has knowledge thereof), an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to be delivered in connection with sales of the Certificates by the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers or a dealer, in order to correct any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, is necessary to comply with applicable law, the

-11-

Mortgage Loan Seller shall do all things necessary (or, with respect to information relating to the Mortgage Loans, provide all information in its possession) to assist the Depositor to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller (to the extent that such amendment or supplement relates to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loans and/or any information describing the same, as provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller), to the Underwriters and Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as may be necessary, so that the statements in the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum as so amended or supplemented, including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or so that the Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum (as so annexed or supplemented), including Annexes A-1, A-2 and A-3 of the Prospectus, with respect to any information regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not so fail to comply with applicable law. All terms used in this Section 4(o) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have no affirmative obligation to monitor the performance of the Mortgage Loans or any changes in condition or circumstance of any Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, guarantor or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date in connection with its obligations under this Section 4(o). The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(o).

Section 5.                Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution. (a) The Responsible Repurchase Parties shall, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), a Responsible Repurchase Party’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, a Responsible Repurchase Party’s discovery of, a Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery by a Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at the Responsible Repurchase Parties’ own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by a Responsible Repurchase Party to deliver to the

-12-

Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and a Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the Responsible Repurchase Parties have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Responsible Repurchase Parties are pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Responsible Repurchase Parties anticipate that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the Responsible Repurchase Parties to have received the recorded document, then the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date so long as the Responsible Repurchase Parties certify to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Responsible Repurchase Parties are diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach that causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the Responsible Repurchase Parties’ right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the Responsible Repurchase Parties are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If the Responsible Repurchase Parties, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agree to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control

-13-

Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by a Responsible Repurchase Party. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Responsible Repurchase Parties to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust. The following terms shall apply to any Loss of Value Payment: (i) prior to any agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Enforcing Servicer, as applicable, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude a Responsible Repurchase Party or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

The Responsible Repurchase Parties’ obligation to cure any Material Defect, repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, however, that no limitation of remedy is implied with respect to a Responsible Repurchase Party’s breach of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes.

The Responsible Repurchase Parties agree that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any “Material Defect” relating to a “Defect” in the related “Mortgage File” (or analogous terms) under the related Non-Serviced PSA shall constitute a Material Defect under this Agreement to the extent a Responsible Repurchase Party repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA by reason of such “Material Defect”; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect (or analogous term) related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall also apply to the related REO Property.

-14-

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Responsible Repurchase Parties may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above to the extent not previously paid by a Responsible Repurchase Party to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If the Responsible Repurchase Parties elects to cure such Breach, then the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable Persons and upon its making such remittance, such Responsible Repurchase Party shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by a Responsible Repurchase Party are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by such Responsible Repurchase Party equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to such Responsible Repurchase Party.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve a Responsible Repurchase Party of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if (i) such Responsible Repurchase Party did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by the Purchaser or by any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (it being understood that knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) prevented such Responsible Repurchase Party from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such

-15-

Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Responsible Repurchase Parties provide an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)               Whenever one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.

In connection with its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust as contemplated by the recitals hereto, the Purchaser is expressly authorized to assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the Trustee for the benefit of the registered holders and beneficial owners of the Certificates. To the extent of any such assignment, the Trustee, for the benefit of the registered holders and beneficial owners of the Certificates, shall be the Purchaser hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser, BSPRT and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 17.            Information. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such information about itself, the Mortgage Loans and the underwriting and servicing procedures applicable to the Mortgage Loans as is (i) required under the provisions of Regulation AB, (ii) required by a Rating Agency or a governmental agency or body or (iii) reasonably requested by the Purchaser for use in a private disclosure document.

Section 18.            Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein, and this

-26-

Agreement supersedes any prior agreements and/or understandings, written or oral, with respect to such matters; provided, however, that in no event shall this provision be construed to limit the effect of the Indemnification Agreement or the memorandum of understanding dated as of November 3, 2021 among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser and certain other parties or any separate acknowledgments and agreements executed and delivered pursuant to such memorandum of understanding.

Section 19.            Guaranty by BSPRT. (a) BSPRT hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Purchaser the due and punctual payment of all sums due by, and the performance of all obligations of, the Seller under Sections 5, 6, 7 and 9 of this Agreement and any other provisions hereof requiring the payment of any amount by the Seller and, to the extent that they relate to the obligations of the Seller to cure any Material Defect, or repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or make any other payment, Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as and when the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) according to the terms hereof or thereof. In the case of the failure of the Seller to make any such payment as and when due, BSPRT hereby agrees to make such payment or cause such payment to be made, promptly upon written demand by the Purchaser to BSPRT, but any delay in providing such notice shall not under any circumstances reduce the liability of BSPRT or operate as a waiver of the Purchaser’s right to demand payment.

(b)               This guarantee shall be a guaranty of payment and performance, and the obligations of BSPRT under this guarantee shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional. BSPRT waives any and all defenses it may have arising out of: (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same; (iii) the rendering of any judgment against the Seller or any action to enforce the same; (iv) any waiver or consent by the Purchaser or any amendment or other modification to this Agreement; (v) any defense to payment hereunder based upon suretyship defenses; (vi) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller, (vii) any defense based on (1) the corporate status of the Seller, (2) the power and authority of the Seller to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder or (3) the legality, validity and enforceability of the Seller’s obligation under this Agreement, or (viii) any other defense, circumstances or limitation of any nature whatsoever that would constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or other third party obligor. This guarantee shall continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the renewal, extension, modification, or waiver, in whole or in part, of any of the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which are subject to this guarantee.

(c)                BSPRT waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices and demands relating to this Agreement and (ii) any requirement that the Purchaser proceed first against the Seller under this Agreement or otherwise exhaust any right, power or remedy under this Agreement before proceeding hereunder.

Section 20.            Indemnification by BSPRT. BSPRT shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all loss, cost or expense, including any losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, forfeitures, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and related

-27-

costs, judgments, and any other costs, including any costs of enforcement, incurred or suffered as a result of, or related to, (i) any breach by the Seller of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement (other than Sections 5, 6, 7 and 9 hereof and any other provisions hereof requiring the payment of any amount by the Seller) or (ii) the invalidity or otherwise unenforceability of the guaranty provided for under, or any other provisions of, Section 20, including the waiver of any defenses provided for pursuant to Section 20, or for any limitations on the recovery or timing of amounts in connection with the attempted enforcement of the guaranty.Section 21.Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i)                In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

(ii)                In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

Part 47 applies in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 22.            Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings. (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 21, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an

-28-

“Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

(b)               After a BHC Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

EXHIBIT C

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase “the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein). All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.

The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.

1.                  Intentionally Omitted.

2.                  Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

3.                  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by

Exh. C-1

(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or Prepayment Premium/Yield Maintenance Charge)) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

4.                  Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

6.                  Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.

7.                  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

8.                  Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a)

Exh. C-3

through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.                  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph 7 above), and equipment and other personal property financing. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.

10.              Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

Exh. C-4

11.              Financing Statements. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

12.              Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

13.              Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.              Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no

Exh. C-5

proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

15.              Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents, or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.              Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with the Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor or its servicer (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related depositor under the Non-Serviced PSA or the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer).

17.              No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback).

18.              Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

Exh. C-6

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the least of (a) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (c) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans

Exh. C-7

intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

19.              Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels. Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one

Exh. C-8

or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax parcels are created.

20.              No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property: (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.

21.              No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

22.              REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of

Exh. C-9

the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

23.              Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

24.              Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

25.              Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

26.              Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, (c) title insurance policy coverage has been obtained with respect to any non-conforming use or structure, or (d) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged

Exh. C-10

Property. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.              Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.              Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii)  breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).

29.              Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the

Exh. C-11

Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, unless an opinion of counsel is delivered as specified in clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).

No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

30.              Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls (or maintenance schedules in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by residential cooperative properties) for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.

Exh. C-12

31.              Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (“TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C; provided that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

32.              Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller, including, but not limited to, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case, a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) Transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1 or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with

Exh. C-13

another Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

33.              Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $10 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34.              Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent

Exh. C-14

thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

35.              Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed.

36.              Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit C, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

(A)       The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(B)       The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that the Mortgagee has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;

(C)       The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual/360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)       The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related

Exh. C-15

fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;

(E)       Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, the Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);

(F)       The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(G)       The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provide that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(H)       A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the Mortgagee’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(I)       The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;

(J)       Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or

Exh. C-16

restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)       In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(L)       Provided that the Mortgagee cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with the Mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

37.              Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects legal and have met with customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

38.              Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.

39.              Intentionally Omitted.

40.              No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in this Exhibit C. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

Exh. C-17

41.              Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

42.              Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-4, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of a Mortgagor with respect to another Mortgage Loan. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (42) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

43.              Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II environmental site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related Mortgagee; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated or contained in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch Ratings, Inc. and/or A.M. Best; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated

Exh. C-18

to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

44.              Intentionally Omitted.

45.              Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) (A) is a Member of the Appraisal Institute or (B) has a comparable professional designation and possesses the level of experience required to evaluate commercial real estate collateral, and (ii) to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

46.              Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

47.              Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan.

48.              Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller. Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date.

49.              Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Mortgage Loan Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of this Exhibit C, “Mortgagee” means the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Mortgage, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.

EXCEPTIONS TO MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth below are listed by the number of the related representation and warranty set forth on Exhibit C and the mortgage loan name and number identified on Exhibit A. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule C shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit C or, if not defined therein, in this Agreement.

(26) Local Law Compliance	Tech Ridge Office Park (Loan No. 14)	As of the Mortgage Loan origination date, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not yet received the final zoning report for the Mortgaged Property. The draft zoning report confirms that the Mortgaged Property is legal conforming but the draft report noted that the report is incomplete because it is waiting for the municipalities to respond on open violations. The Mortgage Loan agreement provides that to the extent the final zoning report identifies any violations or if a condemnation proceeding is planned, the borrower is required to cure, remediate and use commercially efforts to discharge of record all violations, pay all fees, costs, fines and penalties.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement dated and effective as of November 19, 2021 (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), among BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC (“Seller”), Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (“Depositor”), Seller is selling certain commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) to Depositor;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator, tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Special Servicer are granted certain powers, responsibilities and authority in connection with the completion and the filing and recording of assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements, reassignments of assignments of leases, rents and profits and other Mortgage Loan documents required to be filed or recorded in appropriate public filing and recording offices; and

WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to provide this Limited Power of Attorney pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, Seller does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), acting solely in its capacity as Custodian under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to each Mortgage Loan in Seller’s name, place and stead: (i) to complete (to the extent necessary) and to cause to be submitted for filing or recording in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, all assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, assignments or reassignments of rents, leases and profits, in each case in favor of the Trustee, as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that have been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, and all Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements and all other comparable instruments or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans which are customarily and reasonably necessary or appropriate to assign agreements, documents and instruments pertaining

Exh. F-1

to the Mortgage Loans, in each case in favor of the Trustee as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in, and in accordance with Section 1.01 of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such assignments and conveyances in favor of the Trustee in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices; and (ii) to prepare, execute and file or record in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, as applicable, all other Mortgage Loan documents to be recorded under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any such Mortgage Loan documents which have not been submitted for filing or recordation by Seller on or before the date hereof or which have been so submitted but are subsequently lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled as a result of actual or purported defects therein, in order to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such documents in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices.

As between Seller, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trust and the Certificateholders, neither the Custodian nor the Special Servicer may exercise any right, authority or power granted by this Limited Power of Attorney in a manner which would violate the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but any and all third parties dealing with the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact may rely completely, unconditionally and conclusively on the authority of the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and need not make any inquiry about whether the Custodian or the Special Servicer is acting pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any purchaser, title insurance company or other third party may rely upon a written statement by the Custodian or the Special Servicer that any particular Mortgage Loan or related mortgaged real property in question is subject to and included under this Limited Power of Attorney and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Exh. F-2

Any act or thing lawfully done hereunder by the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer shall be binding on Seller and Seller’s successors and assigns.

This Limited Power of Attorney shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer, as applicable, until the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:

 EXECUTION VERSION

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated and effective as of November 19, 2021, among Oceanview Commercial Mortgage Finance, LLC, as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Mortgage Loan Seller” or “Seller”), Oceanview U.S. Holdings Corp. (“Oceanview Holdings”), and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser”).

RECITALS

The Mortgage Loan Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (as such schedule may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

The Purchaser intends to create a trust (the “Trust”), the primary assets of which will be a segregated pool of commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans, that includes the Mortgage Loans. Beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust (such assets collectively, the “Trust Fund”) will be evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (the “Rating Agencies”). Certain classes of Certificates (the “Registered Certificates”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain classes of Certificates (the “Non-Registered Certificates”) will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1 hereof). Any reference to a provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date. It is anticipated that the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert Williams Shank”) (collectively in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Underwriters. The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates to WFS, Credit Suisse, UBS Securities, Academy, Drexel and Siebert Williams Shank (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank and the Initial Purchasers. The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the date of filing thereof, the “Prospectus”), relating to the Registered Certificates and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated November 22, 2021 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.

The Mortgage Loan Seller and Oceanview Holdings will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain preliminary prospectus, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto and information incorporated therein by reference as of the last Time of Sale as defined in the Indemnification Agreement, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated November 16, 2021, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Mortgage Loan Seller, Oceanview Holdings, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers. Oceanview Holdings will provide a payment guarantee with respect to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations under, and as part of, the Indemnification Agreement.

The Mortgage Loan Seller and Oceanview Holdings hereby acknowledge that Oceanview Holdings, as owner of a direct interest in the Mortgage Loan Seller, will benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Purchaser is not willing to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the agreement by Oceanview Holdings to the terms hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.                Agreement to Purchase. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on December 6, 2021 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). As of the Cut-off Date,

-2-

the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $37,115,435, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible). The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.

Section 2.                Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s and Oceanview Holdings’ obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller), except any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations.

After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.

(b)               The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore,

-3-

it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(c)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (which delivery shall be subject to clauses (e) and (f) in the proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date, any other items required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan, and shall take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be required under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

-4-

(d)               In accordance with Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with respect to letters of credit referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the original of such letter of credit to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Custodian) or, if such original has been submitted by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect a reissuance, assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents), the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by delivering with respect to such letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian indicating that such document has been delivered to the issuing bank for reissuance or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Custodian within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

In addition, pursuant to Section 3.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt of a letter of credit pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit.

In addition, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to the Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, for recording, at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller, any Mortgage Loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). The Mortgage

-5-

Loan Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments for recording if the Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that the Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.

(e)                [Reserved.]

(f)                In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the following items in its possession: (i) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of any instruments of assignment that are returned to the Custodian by the related public recording office in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Master Servicer); and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or related Whole Loan(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data); provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that some or all of the items in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence have, as of the Closing Date, been posted to websites to which various parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have access, and if any such items have been so posted to any such website(s) to which the Master Servicer has access,

-6-

such items will be deemed to have been delivered to the Master Servicer in accordance with this sentence; and provided, further, that if the Master Servicer is unable to download such items from such website(s) after making reasonable efforts to do so and provides notice (which may be delivered by electronic means) to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver such items to the Master Servicer by such means as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer. In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, in accordance with Section 2.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to it and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, all unapplied reserve funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Whole Loans). In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC^® Financial File and CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(g)               Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller. In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.

(h)               The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (except with respect to the Administrative Cost Rate). The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach or to shorten the period available to the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the cure, repurchase or substitution provisions with respect to a Material Defect set forth in Section 5.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Mortgage Loan Numbers 9 and 18 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, each of which is subject to defeasance, the Mortgage Loan Seller has retained the related Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations. The Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that: (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations, then the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its assignee; and (ii) until such time as the Mortgage Loan Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.

Section 4.                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller, Oceanview Holdings and the Purchaser.

(c)                The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(d)               The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof. As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from

(e)                With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller either (i) represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date such Servicing Function Participant is an Initial Sub-Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii)(A) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and the Mortgage Loan Seller, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnification of each Certification Party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of the delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable) applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans and (B) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. A “Defective Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Defect.

(g)               Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Mortgage Loan Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum.

(i)                 Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File (including, if applicable, any additional documents that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes should be included to enable the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform an Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents are clearly labeled and identified) to the Designated Site, each such Diligence File being organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(k)               If, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, then, upon written request of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Asset Representations Reviewer, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written request, any such document; provided, however, that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to deliver such missing document only to the extent that such document is in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or the Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

(l)                 Upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and receipt of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee for the Mortgage Loans subject to that Asset Review within sixty (60) days of such written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(m)             The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to such dispute resolution method.

Section 5.                Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution. (a) The Responsible Repurchase Parties shall, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), a Responsible Repurchase Party’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, a Responsible Repurchase Party’s discovery of, a Material Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the discovery by a Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at the Responsible Repurchase Parties’ own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by a Responsible Repurchase Party to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and a Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the Responsible Repurchase Parties have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the Responsible Repurchase Parties are pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Responsible Repurchase Parties anticipate that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the Responsible Repurchase Parties to have received the recorded document, then the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date so long as the Responsible Repurchase Parties certify

-12-

to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Responsible Repurchase Parties are diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach that causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the Responsible Repurchase Parties’ right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the Responsible Repurchase Parties are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.

If the Responsible Repurchase Parties, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan agree to a Loss of Value Payment, pursuant to any agreement or a settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded DCH Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Enforcing Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan and not previously paid by a Responsible Repurchase Party. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Responsible Repurchase Parties to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust. The following terms shall apply to any Loss of Value Payment: (i) prior to any agreement or settlement between the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Enforcing Servicer, as applicable, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude a Responsible Repurchase Party or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in this Agreement (excluding this paragraph) or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

-13-

The Responsible Repurchase Parties’ obligation to cure any Material Defect, repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a Material Defect; provided, however, that no limitation of remedy is implied with respect to a Responsible Repurchase Party’s breach of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes.

The Responsible Repurchase Parties agree that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any “Material Defect” relating to a “Defect” in the related “Mortgage File” (or analogous terms) under the related Non-Serviced PSA shall constitute a Material Defect under this Agreement to the extent a Responsible Repurchase Party repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA by reason of such “Material Defect”; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect (or analogous term) related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall also apply to the related REO Property.

If any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Responsible Repurchase Parties may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 4(l) above to the extent not previously paid by a Responsible Repurchase Party to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If the Responsible Repurchase Parties elects to cure such Breach, then the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable Persons and upon its making such remittance, such Responsible Repurchase Party shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by a Responsible Repurchase Party are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by such Responsible Repurchase Party equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to such Responsible Repurchase Party.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve a Responsible Repurchase Party of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if it is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if (i) such Responsible Repurchase Party did not otherwise discover or have

knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by the Purchaser or by any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (it being understood that knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) prevented such Responsible Repurchase Party from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be a Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Responsible Repurchase Parties provide an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)               Whenever one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each corresponding Defective Loan that is purchased or repurchased, as the case may be, or replaced with one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (any such Mortgage Loan, a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.

-15-

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Enforcing Servicer, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon any substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

If any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Crossed Mortgage Loan Group is required to be repurchased or substituted, the provisions of Section 2.03(h), Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.

(c)                The Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Party, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Party, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party.

(d)               [Reserved.]

(e)                The Mortgage Loan Seller and Oceanview Holdings acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser shall have no liability to the Mortgage Loan Seller or Oceanview Holdings or otherwise for any failure of the Mortgage Loan Seller, Oceanview Holdings or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to perform its obligations provided for thereunder.

Section 18.            Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein, and this Agreement supersedes any prior agreements and/or understandings, written or oral, with respect to such matters; provided, however, that in no event shall this provision be construed to limit the effect of the Indemnification Agreement or the memorandum of understanding dated November 3, 2021 among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser and certain other parties or any separate acknowledgments and agreements executed and delivered pursuant to such memorandum of understanding.

Section 19.            Guaranty by Oceanview Holdings. (a) Oceanview Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Purchaser the due and punctual payment of all sums due by, and the performance of all obligations of, the Seller under Sections 5, 6, 7 and 9 of this Agreement and any other provisions hereof requiring the payment of any amount by the Seller and, to the extent that they relate to the obligations of the Seller to cure any Material Defect, or repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or make any other payment, Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as and when the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) according to the terms hereof or thereof. In the case of the failure of the Seller to make any such payment as and when due, Oceanview Holdings hereby agrees to make such payment or cause such payment to be made, promptly upon written demand by the Purchaser to Oceanview Holdings, but any delay in providing such notice shall not under any circumstances reduce the liability of Oceanview Holdings or operate as a waiver of the Purchaser’s right to demand payment.

(b)               This guarantee shall be a guaranty of payment and performance, and the obligations of Oceanview Holdings under this guarantee shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional. Oceanview Holdings waives any and all defenses it may have arising out of: (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same; (iii) the rendering of any judgment against the Seller or any action to enforce the same; (iv) any waiver or consent by the Purchaser or any amendment or other modification to this Agreement; (v) any defense to payment hereunder based upon suretyship defenses; (vi) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller, (vii) any defense based on (1) the corporate status of the Seller, (2) the power and authority of the Seller to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder or (3) the legality, validity and enforceability of the Seller’s obligation under

-26-

this Agreement, or (viii) any other defense, circumstances or limitation of any nature whatsoever that would constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or other third party obligor. This guarantee shall continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the renewal, extension, modification, or waiver, in whole or in part, of any of the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which are subject to this guarantee.

(c)                Oceanview Holdings waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices and demands relating to this Agreement and (ii) any requirement that the Purchaser proceed first against the Seller under this Agreement or otherwise exhaust any right, power or remedy under this Agreement before proceeding hereunder.

Section 20.            Indemnification by Oceanview Holdings.

(a)                Oceanview Holdings shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all loss, cost or expense, including any losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, forfeitures, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, including any costs of enforcement, incurred or suffered as a result of, or related to, (i) any breach by the Seller of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement (other than Sections 5, 6, 7 and 9 hereof and any other provisions hereof requiring the payment of any amount by the Seller) or (ii) the invalidity or otherwise unenforceability of the guaranty provided for under, or any other provisions of, Section 20, including the waiver of any defenses provided for pursuant to Section 20, or for any limitations on the recovery or timing of amounts in connection with the attempted enforcement of the guaranty.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser hereby agrees that in the event of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 20 or related to the guarantee in Section 19 hereof, (i) the stock of Oceanview Holdings’ subsidiary Oceanview Life and Annuity Company (“OVLAC”), the assets of OVLAC and the value of any such stock or assets (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”) shall be excluded from any such claim, (ii) Oceanview Holdings and OVLAC shall not be required to divest, sell or transfer any Excluded Assets or cause a distribution or dividend to occur with respect to any Excluded Assets, in each case, in connection with satisfying any such claim, (iii) the Purchaser shall not make any demand or claim for, or file any action, suit, or proceeding or enforce any remedies under this Agreement or applicable laws against, OVLAC and/or the Excluded Assets and (iv) the Purchaser shall have no recourse to the Excluded Assets or the ownership stake of Oceanview Holdings in any Excluded Assets or any ability to restrain the alienation of such ownership stake in seeking the fulfillment of Oceanview Holdings’ obligations under this Agreement.

Section 21.            Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i)            In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or

-27-

under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

(ii)            In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.

“BHC Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. §1841(k).

“Covered Party” means any party to this Agreement that is one of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b), or any subsidiary of such a covered bank to which 12 C.F.R. Part 47 applies in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 22.            Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 21, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

(b)               After a BHC Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

Exh. B-3-2

EXHIBIT C

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase “the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein). All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.

The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.

1.                  Intentionally Omitted.

2.                  Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

3.                  Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by

Exh. C-1

(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or Prepayment Premium/Yield Maintenance Charge)) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

4.                  Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

5.                  Intentionally Omitted.

6.                  Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) (1) there has been no forbearance, waiver or modification of the material terms of the Mortgage Loan which such forbearance, waiver or modification relates to the COVID-19 emergency and (2) other than as related to the COVID-19 emergency, the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.

7.                  Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the

Exh. C-2

Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

8.                  Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the

Exh. C-3

Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.                  Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph 7 above), and equipment and other personal property financing. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.

10.              Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

11.              Financing Statements. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and

Exh. C-4

perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

12.              Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

13.              Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.              Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

15.              Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as

Exh. C-5

of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents, or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.              Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with the Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor or its servicer (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related depositor under the Non-Serviced PSA or the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer).

17.              No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback).

18.              Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up

Exh. C-6

to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the least of (a) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (c) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML

Exh. C-7

was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

19.              Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels. Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax parcels are created.

Exh. C-8

20.              No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property: (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.

21.              No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

22.              REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

Exh. C-9

23.              Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

24.              Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

25.              Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

26.              Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, (c) title insurance policy coverage has been obtained with respect to any non-conforming use or structure, or (d) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.              Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material

Exh. C-10

licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.              Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii)  breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).

29.              Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A)

Exh. C-11

of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, unless an opinion of counsel is delivered as specified in clause (y) of the preceding paragraph, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).

No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

30.              Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls (or maintenance schedules in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by residential cooperative properties) for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.

31.              Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (“TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right

Exh. C-12

to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C; provided that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

32.              Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller, including, but not limited to, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold (in each case, a “Transfer”), other than as related to (i) family and estate planning Transfers or Transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) Transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) Transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) Transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) Transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1 or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

33.              Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents and the related Mortgage Loan

Exh. C-13

documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $10 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34.              Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

35.              Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed.

36.              Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit C, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who

Exh. C-14

may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

(A)       The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(B)       The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that the Mortgagee has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;

(C)       The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual/360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(D)       The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;

(E)       Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, the Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the

Exh. C-15

holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);

(F)       The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(G)       The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provide that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(H)       A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the Mortgagee’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(I)       The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;

(J)       Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)       In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(L)       Provided that the Mortgagee cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with the Mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

Exh. C-16

37.              Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects legal and have met with customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

38.              Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.

39.              Intentionally Omitted.

40.              No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in this Exhibit C. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

41.              Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

42.              Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-4, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of a Mortgagor with respect to another Mortgage Loan. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (42) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

Exh. C-17

43.              Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II environmental site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related Mortgagee; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated or contained in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action, completion or closure letter or its equivalent was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch Ratings, Inc. and/or A.M. Best; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-13 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

44.              Intentionally Omitted.

45.              Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) (A) is a Member of the Appraisal Institute or (B) has a comparable professional designation and possesses the level of experience required to evaluate commercial real estate collateral, and (ii) to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

Exh. C-18

46.              Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

47.              Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan.

48.              Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller. Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date.

49.              Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Mortgage Loan Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of this Exhibit C, “Mortgagee” means the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Mortgage, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement dated and effective as of November 19, 2021 (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), between Oceanview Commercial Mortgage Finance, LLC (“Seller”), Oceanview U.S. Holdings Corp. and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (“Depositor”), Seller is selling certain commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) to Depositor;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as certificate administrator, tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Special Servicer are granted certain powers, responsibilities and authority in connection with the completion and the filing and recording of assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements, reassignments of assignments of leases, rents and profits and other Mortgage Loan documents required to be filed or recorded in appropriate public filing and recording offices; and

WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to provide this Limited Power of Attorney pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, Seller does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), acting solely in its capacity as Custodian under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to each Mortgage Loan in Seller’s name, place and stead: (i) to complete (to the extent necessary) and to cause to be submitted for filing or recording in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, all assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, assignments or reassignments of rents, leases and profits, in each case in favor of the Trustee, as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that have been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, and all Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements and all other comparable instruments or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans which are customarily and reasonably necessary or appropriate to assign agreements, documents and instruments pertaining to the Mortgage Loans,

Exh. F-1

in each case in favor of the Trustee as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in, and in accordance with Section 1.01 of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such assignments and conveyances in favor of the Trustee in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices; and (ii) to prepare, execute and file or record in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, as applicable, all other Mortgage Loan documents to be recorded under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any such Mortgage Loan documents which have not been submitted for filing or recordation by Seller on or before the date hereof or which have been so submitted but are subsequently lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled as a result of actual or purported defects therein, in order to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such documents in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Limited Power of Attorney shall grant to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer only such powers, responsibilities and authority as are set forth in Section 2 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

As between the Special Servicer and any third party, no evidence of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian shall be required and such third party may rely upon the Special Servicer’s written statement that it is acting pursuant to the terms of this Limited Power of Attorney.

The enumeration of particular powers herein is not intended in any way to limit the grant to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact of full power and authority with respect to the Mortgage Loans to complete (to the extent necessary), file and record any documents, instruments or other writings referred to above as fully, to all intents and purposes, as Seller might or could do if personally present, hereby ratifying and confirming whatsoever such attorney-in-fact shall and may do by virtue hereof; and Seller agrees and represents to those dealing with such attorney-in-fact that they may rely upon this Limited Power of Attorney until termination thereof under the provisions of the second following paragraph below. As between Seller, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trust and the Certificateholders, neither the Custodian nor the Special Servicer may exercise any right, authority or power granted by this Limited Power of Attorney in a manner which would violate the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but any and all third parties dealing with the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact may rely completely, unconditionally and conclusively on the authority of the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and need not make any inquiry about whether the Custodian or the Special Servicer is acting pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any purchaser, title insurance company or other third party may rely upon a written statement by the Custodian or the Special Servicer that any particular Mortgage Loan or related mortgaged real property in question is subject to and included under this Limited Power of Attorney and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Any act or thing lawfully done hereunder by the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer shall be binding on Seller and Seller’s successors and assigns.

Exh. F-2

This Limited Power of Attorney shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer, as applicable, until the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:

(1)               with respect to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the termination of the Custodian and its replacement with a successor Custodian under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
