REMIC
I


 


As
provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee will make an election for the
segregated pool of assets described in the first (1st) paragraph of Section 12.1(a) hereof (including the Mortgage
Loans (other than any Excess Interest payable with respect to such Mortgage Loans)) to be treated for federal income tax purposes
as a REMIC (“REMIC I”). The REMIC I Regular Interests will be designated as the “regular interests”
in REMIC I and the Class R Certificates will evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes
of the REMIC Provisions.


 


Each
REMIC I Regular Interest will relate to, and constitute the “Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest” with respect
to, a separate specific Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan and any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that may replace
such Mortgage Loan). Each REMIC I Regular Interest will have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the applicable REMIC I Net Mortgage
Rate from time to time, an initial REMIC I Principal Amount equal to the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan to
which such REMIC I Regular Interest relates, and a “latest possible maturity date” set to the Rated Final Distribution
Date. The Class R Certificates will have no principal amount and no Pass-Through Rate, but (insofar as such Certificates represent
the REMIC I Residual Interest) will entitle Holders thereof to receive the proceeds of any assets remaining in REMIC I after all
the REMIC I Regular Interests have been paid in full.

REMIC
II


 


As
provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee will make an election for the
segregated pool of assets described in the second (2nd) paragraph of Section 12.1(a) hereof consisting of the
REMIC I Regular Interests to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC (“REMIC II”). The REMIC
II Regular Interests will be designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC II and the Class R Certificates will evidence
the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.


 


The
following table sets forth the designation, the initial REMIC II Principal Amount, the corresponding Class of Principal Balance
Certificates (the “Corresponding Certificates”) and corresponding Class X REMIC III Regular Interest (the “Corresponding
Class X REMIC III Regular Interest”) with respect to each REMIC II Regular Interest. Each REMIC II Regular Interest
shall have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the Weighted Average REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate from time to time. The Class R Certificates
will have no principal amount and no Pass-Through Rate, but (insofar as such Certificates represent the REMIC II Residual Interest)
will entitle Holders thereof to receive the proceeds of any assets remaining in REMIC II after all the REMIC II Regular Interests
have been paid in full.

REMIC
III


 


As
provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee will make an election for the

of REMIC III Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates. On each Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate for each Class
of Certificates (other than the Class PST, Class V and Class R Certificates) will be determined as set forth herein under the
definition of “Pass-Through Rate.” The Class R Certificates will have no Aggregate Certificate Balance or Pass-Through
Rate, but (insofar as such Certificates represent the REMIC III Residual Interest) will entitle the Holders thereof to receive
the proceeds of any remaining assets in REMIC III after the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB,
Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class PST, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates have
been reduced to zero and any Collateral Support Deficits previously allocated thereto (and any interest thereon) have been reimbursed.

(c)          Neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Excess Interest
on any Mortgage Loan unless the taking of such action is consistent with the Servicing Standard and all other amounts due under

except for all or a portion of accrued Excess Interest, provided that the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s
determination to waive the right to such accrued Excess Interest is in accordance with the Servicing Standard and with Section 8.18

to the Trust, the Certificateholders or any other person so long as such determination is based on such criteria.

such purchaser or holder, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan,
as applicable, possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to
the extent necessary or appropriate to such purchaser or holder (or the designee of such purchaser or holder) in the same manner,
and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which documents were

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 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 (i) such Requesting Party shall (without providing notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider) confirm 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 and (ii) if there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five
(5) Business Days of such second request or such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates it is neither reviewing
such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, (x) with respect to any such condition in any Mortgage
Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of
the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related
Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect
to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and


 






    	125



    	 



    

 


REO
Loans), as applicable) shall determine, in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and, in the case of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether or not such action would be in the best interests
of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, Certificateholders and any holder of any related
Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced B Note or Serviced
Companion Loan holder constituted a single lender), and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor,
then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that such action would be in the best interest of
such parties, then the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation will be deemed not to apply, and (y) with respect to a replacement
of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed to be satisfied (i) if Moody’s or DBRS is the
non-responding Rating Agency, the non-responding Rating Agency has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement
as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status”
in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other CMBS transaction rated by such non-responding
Rating Agency and serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination or (ii) if Fitch is the non-responding
Rating Agency, the applicable replacement is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the Master Servicer) or “CSS3”
(in the case of the Special Servicer).


 


Promptly
following the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section
1.7(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being considered satisfied, the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action
taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information
Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 5.7 of this Agreement.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, 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), release or substitution
of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to which the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer would have been required to make the determination described in Section 1.7(a) shall be deemed
not to apply regardless of any such determination by the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor,
the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans), as applicable); provided, that the Requesting Party (or the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable) shall in any event review the other conditions required under the related Mortgage Loan documents
with respect to such defeasance, release or substitution and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Servicing Standard
that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied.


 


(c)          For
all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 1.7(a) above, the applicable Requesting Party shall
deliver a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

DECLARATION OF TRUST;

ISSUANCES OF CERTIFICATES


 


Section
2.1     Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.


 


(a)          Effective
as of the Closing Date, the Depositor does hereby establish a trust designated as “Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill
Lynch Trust 2015-C23” and assign in trust to the Trustee, without recourse, for the benefit of the Certificateholders all
the right, title and interest of the Depositor, in, to and under (i) the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
including the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements and title, hazard and other insurance policies, including
all Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans, all distributions with respect thereto payable after the Cut-Off Date, the Mortgage
File and all rights, if any, of the Depositor in the Distribution Account, all REO Accounts, the Collection Account and the Reserve
Accounts, (ii) the Depositor’s rights under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that are permitted to be assigned
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 14 thereof, (iii) the Initial Deposit, (iv) the Depositor’s rights
under any Intercreditor Agreement, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, (v) with respect to the Exchangeable Certificates,
each of the EC REMIC III Regular Interests and (vi) all other assets included or to be included in REMIC I or the Grantor
Trust. Such assignment includes all interest and principal received or receivable on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
due after their respective Due Dates in June 2015. The transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished
hereby is absolute and is intended by the parties to constitute a sale. In connection with the initial sale of the Certificates
by the Depositor, the purchase price to be paid includes a portion attributable to interest accruing on the Certificates from
and after June 1, 2015. The transfer and assignment of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and the right to service
such Mortgage Loans are subject to the terms and conditions of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, and the Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
hereby agrees that such Mortgage Loans remain subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement
and, with respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan, the related Intercreditor Agreement.
The transfer and assignment of any A Notes and any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and the right to service
such Mortgage Loans are subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreements, and the Trustee, by the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, hereby agrees, that such Mortgage Loans remain subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreements
(or with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as a Loan Pair in accordance with Section 8.30 hereof, the applicable
Mortgage Loan documents and Section 8.30 hereof).


 


(b)          In
connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and
hereby represents and warrants that it has directed, each Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), on or before
the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee as specified in clause (i)
of the definition of “Mortgage File.” Each Seller is


 






    	128



    	 



    

 


required,
pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to deliver to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) the remaining
documents constituting the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan within the time period set forth therein. None of the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, any Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any failure by any
Seller or the Depositor to comply with the document delivery requirements of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and this Section 2.1(b).
Promptly upon receipt (but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date), the Custodian shall deliver to the Master
Servicer each original letter of credit set forth on Schedule XVI hereto, and the Master Servicer shall hold such original
letters of credit on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage
File”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations
of each of the applicable Sellers to deliver a Mortgage Note to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), shall be limited to
delivery of only the Mortgage Note held by such party to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee). With respect to a Joint Mortgage
Loan, the obligations of the applicable 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 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 Sellers.


 


(c)          The
applicable Seller has agreed in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, at the expense of such Seller as to each of its
respective Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), (i) in the case of clauses (iv)
and (vi)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” within forty-five (45) days following the Closing
Date and (ii) in the case of clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” within ninety (90) days
following the Closing Date, to deliver for submission for recording or filing by the Depositor, the Custodian (on behalf of the
Trustee) or the agents of either, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC financing
statements, as appropriate, each assignment referred to in clauses (iv), (vi)(B) and (ix)(B) of the
definition of “Mortgage File.” Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording
office to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) following recording or filing; provided that in those instances where
the public recording office retains the original Assignment of Mortgage, assignment of Assignment of Leases or assignment of UCC
financing statements, the applicable Seller shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original and forward such
copy to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned
unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the applicable Seller shall, pursuant to the applicable
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case
may be, and thereafter the applicable Seller shall, at its own expense (except in the case of a document or instrument that is
lost by the Custodian), upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.


 


The
parties acknowledge the obligation of each Seller pursuant to Section 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
deliver to or on behalf of the Trustee, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, five
(5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 4 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the


 






    	129



    	 



    

 


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 submit, or to cause the Custodian to submit for recording, at the expense of the applicable Seller, any mortgage
loan documents required to be recorded as set forth in the preceding paragraph 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 or on behalf of the Trustee). The Sellers agree 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 Trustee and each other party hereto agrees 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 (2nd) preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier
of (i) the date that is 180 days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the related Seller, but in no event
earlier than 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 shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Seller’s expense, after
the periods set forth above; provided, the Custodian shall not submit such assignments for recording if the applicable
Seller produces evidence that it has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that it is awaiting its return from
the applicable recording office. Each of the Sellers has engaged a separate third party agent other than the Custodian or the
Trustee to perform the recording obligations described in this Section 2.1(c).


 


(d)          All
relevant servicing or loan documents and records in the possession of the Depositor or the Sellers that relate to the Mortgage
Loans, Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced B Notes and that are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with
the definition thereof shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following
the Closing Date and shall be held by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
To the extent delivered to the Master Servicer by the related Seller, the Servicer Mortgage File shall include, to the extent
required to be (and actually) delivered to the applicable Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, copies of
each item set forth in the definition of “Servicer Mortgage File” in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Seller shall be required to deliver any draft documents, or any attorney-client communications that are privileged communications
or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses or attorney work product, or internal communications of the Seller or its
affiliates among themselves or with their respective attorneys, or credit underwriting or other analyses or data (and, if received,
shall be returned and any copies thereof destroyed). Delivery of any of the foregoing documents to a sub-servicer shall be deemed
delivery to the Master Servicer and satisfy the Depositor’s obligations under this Section 2.1(d). Neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the absence of any of the foregoing items from the Servicer
Mortgage File if such item was not delivered by the related Seller.


 


Schedule
XVIII attached hereto lists the Mortgaged Properties that, as of the Closing Date, are hospitality properties and that are subject
to a franchise, management or similar 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 Trust or
otherwise have a new comfort letter issued in the name of the Trust. The


 






    	130



    	 



    

 


Mortgage
Loans secured by such Mortgaged Properties are referred to herein as the “Franchise Mortgage Loans.” Each Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement requires that the related Seller (solely in respect of the Franchise Mortgage Loans it is selling to the
Depositor) or its designee shall, within 30 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort
letter) and with a copy to the Master Servicer, notify the related franchisor in writing that such Franchise Mortgage Loan has
been transferred to the Trust and request a replacement comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be
contemplated under the existing comfort letter). 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).


 


(e)          In
connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to
the Trustee on or before the Closing Date a copy of a fully executed counterpart of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as
in full force and effect on the Closing Date, which Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements shall contain the representations and warranties
(and the exceptions thereto) made by the Sellers with respect to each related Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date.


 


(f)          In
connection herewith, the Depositor has acquired the MSMCH Loans from MSMCH, the BANA Loans from BANA, the CIBC Loans from CIBC
and the SMF III Loans from SMF III. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered the original Mortgage Notes (or lost
note affidavits with copies of the related Mortgage Notes, as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File”) relating
to the Mortgage Loans to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), endorsed as otherwise provided herein, to effect the transfer
to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust, mortgages and other loan documents. To avoid the unnecessary
expense and administrative inconvenience associated with the execution and recording or filing of multiple assignment documents,
BANA, MSMCH, CIBC and SMF III, as applicable, are required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements to deliver Assignments
of Mortgages, and assignments of Assignments of Leases and assignments of UCC financing statements naming the Trustee, on behalf
of the Certificateholders, as assignee. Notwithstanding the fact that such Assignments of Mortgages, assignments of Assignments
of Leases (to the extent separate from the Assignments of Mortgages) and assignments of UCC financing statements shall name the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that for all purposes
the MSMCH Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from MSMCH to the Depositor, the BANA Loans shall be deemed to have been
transferred from BANA to the Depositor, the CIBC Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from CIBC to the Depositor, and
the SMF III Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from SMF III to the Depositor, and all Mortgage Loans shall be deemed
to have been transferred from the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.


 


Section
2.2     Acceptance by Trustee. The Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) hereby acknowledges receipt
of a Trust Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and confirms that, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, all documents listed in
clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage
File” are in its possession. Within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall provide a copy of all documents
listed in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of
“Mortgage File” to the Master


 






    	131



    	 



    

 


Servicer.
The Custodian will hold (i) the documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it or the Custodian on its
behalf, (ii) the REMIC I Regular Interests, (iii) the REMIC II Regular Interests, in each case on behalf of
the Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and (iv) the EC REMIC III Regular Interests,
in each case on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates.
To the extent that the contents of the Mortgage File for any A Note relate to a corresponding Serviced B Note, the Custodian
(on the Trustee’s behalf), will also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the holder of each related Serviced
B Note; provided, that if a Serviced B Note remains outstanding following payment in full of the amounts due under the
related A Notes, the Mortgage Loan documents relating to such A/B Whole Loan (exclusive of any such documents related solely
to the A Notes) shall be assigned to the holder of the Serviced B Note or its designee at the expense of the holder of the
Serviced B Note and delivered to such Serviced B Note holder. To the extent that the contents of the Mortgage File for any Serviced
Pari Passu Mortgage Loan relate to the corresponding Serviced Companion Loan, the Trustee, or the Custodian, on the Trustee’s
behalf, will also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan.


 


On
the Closing Date in respect of the Initial Certification, and within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date in
respect of the Final Certification, the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall examine the Mortgage Files in its possession,
and shall deliver to the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Controlling Class Representative and, upon request, the holder
of any Serviced Companion Loan a certification (the “Initial Certification” and the “Final Certification”,
respectively, in the respective forms set forth as Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2 hereto), which (together with any
related exceptions) shall be in electronic format (including Excel compatible format) (i) in the case of the Initial Certification,
as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions attached
thereto, to the effect that: (A) all documents listed in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii),
(x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, (B) such documents have
been reviewed by it and have not been materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered, and such documents
relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (C) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in clause (i) of the definition
of “Mortgage File”, and (ii) in the case of the Final Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions attached thereto, to the effect that: (A) all documents
listed in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (x)
and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” required to be included in the Mortgage File (to the extent
required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement), and with respect to all documents specified in the other clauses of the
definition of “Mortgage File” to the extent known by a Responsible Officer of the Custodian (on the Trustee’s
behalf) to be required pursuant to this Agreement, are in its possession, (B) such documents have been reviewed by it and
have not been materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered, and such documents relate to such
Mortgage Loan, (C) based on its examination and only as to the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the street address (excluding
zip code) of the Mortgaged Property set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule respecting such Mortgage Loan accurately reflects
the information contained in the documents in the Mortgage File, and (D) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the delivery of a commitment to issue a Title Insurance Policy in lieu of the delivery


 






    	132



    	 



    

 


of
the actual Title Insurance Policy shall not be considered a Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if
such actual Title Insurance Policy is delivered to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) not later than the 180th
day following the Closing Date.


 


Within
360 days after the Cut-Off Date, the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall provide a confirmation of receipt of
recorded assignments of Mortgage (as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File,” with evidence of recording thereon)
or otherwise provide evidence of such recordation to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant
to Section 5.7), the Controlling Class Representative and each Seller. The Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) shall
use reasonable efforts to submit for recording any unrecorded assignments of Mortgage that have been delivered to it (including
effecting such recordation process through or cooperating with the applicable Seller), such recordation to be at the expense of
the applicable Seller; provided, that the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall not submit for recording any
such assignments if the applicable Seller produces evidence that it has sent any such assignment for recording and is awaiting
its return from the applicable recording office. In giving the certifications required above, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian
(on the Trustee’s behalf) shall be under any obligation or duty to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
securities or other papers to determine whether they or the signatures thereon are valid, legal, genuine, enforceable, in recordable
form or appropriate for their represented purposes, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, or to determine
whether any Mortgage File should include any assumption agreement, modification agreement, consolidation agreement, extension
agreement, Assignment of Lease, ground lease, UCC financing statement, guaranty, written assurance, substitution agreement, lock
box agreement, intercreditor agreement, management agreement or letter of credit.


 


If
any exceptions are noted on a schedule of exceptions attached to the Final Certification, including exceptions resulting from
the fact that the recordation and/or filing has not been completed (based solely on the absence of receipt by the Custodian (on
the Trustee’s behalf) of the particular documents showing evidence of the recordation and/or filing), then the Custodian
(on the Trustee’s behalf) shall continuously update such schedule of exceptions to reflect receipt of any corrected documents,
additional documents or instruments or evidences of recordation and/or filing, as to each Mortgage Loan, until the earliest of
the following dates: (i) the date on which all such exceptions are eliminated (any such elimination resulting from the fact
that recordation and/or filing has been completed shall be based solely on receipt by the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf)
of the particular documents showing evidence of the recordation and/or filing), (ii) the date on which all the affected Mortgage
Loans are removed from the Trust and (iii) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, and shall provide
such updated schedule of exceptions (which shall be in electronic format, including Excel-compatible format) to each of the Trustee,
the Depositor, each Seller (as to its respective Mortgage Loans only), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor,
the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such updated schedule of exceptions on the 17g-5
Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7), the Controlling Class Representative, the holder of
any Serviced Companion Loan on or about the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date and then again every ninety (90) days
thereafter (until the earliest date specified above). Upon request, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and to the


 






    	133



    	 



    

 


Custodian
the names and addresses of each holder of a Serviced Companion Loan of which the Master Servicer has received notice in accordance
with this Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


The
Custodian or its authorized agents shall retain possession and custody of each Trust Mortgage File in accordance with and subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein.


 


The
Custodian shall hold that portion of the Trust Fund delivered to the Custodian consisting of “instruments” (as such
term is defined in Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Minnesota on the date hereof) in Minnesota and,
except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, shall not remove such instruments from Minnesota unless it receives
an Opinion of Counsel (obtained and delivered at the expense of the Person requesting the removal of such instruments from Minnesota)
that if the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee is deemed not to be a sale, after such removal, the Trustee will possess
a first priority perfected security interest in such instruments.


 


The
Custodian shall not be an agent of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall have no liability for any action or omission of the Custodian
hereunder.


 


Section
2.3     Sellers’ Repurchase of Mortgage Loans for Material Document Defects and Material Breaches
of Representations and Warranties.


 


(a)          If
any party hereto discovers that any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been delivered as and
when required, has not been properly executed, or is defective on its face or discovers or receives notice of a breach of any
of the representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans required to be made by a Seller regarding the characteristics
of the Mortgage Loans and/or the related Mortgaged Properties as set forth in Exhibit 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements, and either (i) the defect or breach, as the case may be, materially and adversely affects the interests of the
holders of the Certificates in the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) both (A) the defect or breach materially and adversely affects
the value of the Mortgage Loan and (B) the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan
(any such defect described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), a “Material Document Defect”,
and such a breach described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), a “Material Breach”), then
the party determining that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor,
the other parties hereto, the related Seller and the 17g-5 Information Provider subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement. Promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) upon determining (or becoming aware of another
party’s determination) that any such Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists (which determination shall, absent
evidence to the contrary, be presumed to be no earlier than three (3) Business Days prior to the delivery of the notice referred
to below), the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall (and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan) may)
request that the related Seller, not later than ninety (90) days from such Seller’s receipt of the notice of such Material
Document Defect or Material Breach, cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material
respects; provided, that if such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be corrected or


 






    	134



    	 



    

 


cured
in all material respects within such 90-day period, and such Material Document Defect or Material Breach would not cause the Mortgage
Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code) but the related Seller is diligently attempting
to effect such correction or cure, as certified by such Seller in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and
the Custodian, then the cure period will be extended for an additional ninety (90) days unless, solely in the case of a Material
Document Defect, (x) the Mortgage Loan is then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred
as a result of a monetary default or as set forth in clause (ii) or clause (v) of the definition of “Servicing
Transfer Event” and (y) the Material Document Defect was identified in a certification delivered to the Seller by the
Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) pursuant to Section 2.2 not less than ninety (90) days prior to the receipt
by the applicable Seller of the notice of such Material Document Defect. The parties acknowledge that neither delivery of a certification
or schedule of exceptions to a Seller pursuant to Section 2.2 or otherwise nor possession of such certification or
schedule by the Seller shall, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge or
awareness by the Seller or any party hereto of any Material Document Defect listed therein.


 


If
any Material Document Defect or Material Breach that exists cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within the above
cure periods, the related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) is obligated under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
not later than the last day of such permitted cure period, subject to Section 5.12 of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
to (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the related Seller’s pro
rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in such Joint Mortgage Loan) or REO Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the related Seller’s pro
rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in such Joint Mortgage Loan) from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, or (ii) if within the three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or prior to the second anniversary of
the Closing Date if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii)
of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), at the related Seller’s option, without recourse (other
than the representations and warranties made with respect thereto), replace such Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any Joint
Mortgage Loan, the related Seller’s pro rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest as of the date
of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan) or any successor REO Mortgage Loan (or, with respect
to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the related Seller’s pro rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest
as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan) to which such defect or breach
relates with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and pay a substitution shortfall amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
applicable Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan to be replaced, over the Stated Principal Balance of the
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan. If such Material Document Defect or Material Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other
than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence or the previous paragraph,
the cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within eighty-five (85) days from the date the related Seller was notified
of the defect or breach; provided, that in any event any such cure, repurchase or substitution must


 






    	135



    	 



    

 


occur
no later than eighty-five (85) days from the date of determination of the existence of a Material Document Defect or Material
Breach as determined in this Section 2.3(a).


 


As
to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Master Servicer shall not execute any instrument effecting the substitution
unless the related Seller has delivered to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) for such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment of Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as
are required by Section 2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.1, and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to rely on statements and certifications from the Custodian for this purpose. No substitution may be
made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly payments due with respect to Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust and will be retained by Master Servicer and remitted
by the Master Servicer to the related Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions
to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on the related Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter
the related Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.


 


The
Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan and the substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and upon such amendment the Master Servicer shall
deliver or cause to be delivered such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator
and the Special Servicer. Upon such substitution, the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms
of this Agreement in all respects. Upon receipt of the Trust Mortgage File pertaining to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans,
the Custodian shall release the Trust Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Seller, and the Trustee
(and the Depositor, if necessary) shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment in the form presented to
it, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title (to the extent that such title
was transferred to the Trustee or the Depositor) in the related Seller or its designee to any Deleted Mortgage Loan (including
any property acquired in respect thereof or any insurance policy proceeds relating thereto) substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.


 


If
(x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated above (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”),
(y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage Loans (such
Defective Mortgage Loan and such other Mortgage Loans, collectively, “Crossed Mortgage Loans”) and (z) the
applicable document defect or breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as
to such other Crossed Mortgage Loans (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable document defect or breach (as the
case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such
other Crossed Mortgage Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) shall
be obligated to repurchase or replace each such other Crossed Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in
the case of such breach or document defect, (A) the Seller provides a Nondisqualification Opinion to the Trustee at the expense
of the Seller and (B) both of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Seller were to repurchase or replace
only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or


 






    	136



    	 



    

 


Material
Document Defect had occurred without regard to this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”): (i) the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four (4) calendar quarters
immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage
ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Appendix I to the Prospectus Supplement
and (B) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four
(4) preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement, and (ii) the Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such
Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greater of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed
as a whole number (taken to one decimal place), for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth
in Appendix I to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10% and (B) the Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans
(including the Affected Loan(s)), at the time of repurchase or replacement. The determination of the Master Servicer as to whether
the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Master
Servicer will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) to (in which
case the related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to) cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes
of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense
of the related Seller if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld).


 


With
respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the applicable Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) is required
to repurchase or substitute for such Defective Mortgage Loan (each, a “Repurchased Loan”) in the manner prescribed
above while the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) continues to hold any Crossed Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller and
the Depositor have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s
Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage
Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee or the
Custodian, so long as such exercise does not impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary
Collateral. If the exercise of remedies by one party would impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with
respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed
to forbear from exercising such remedies until the loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified
in a manner that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result
of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Mortgage Loans shall
be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata
basis based upon their outstanding principal balances. All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect,
without any modification thereof. The Mortgagors set forth on Schedule VI hereto are intended third-party beneficiaries of
the provisions set forth in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph and the preceding paragraph
may not be modified with respect to any Mortgage Loan without the related Mortgagor’s consent.


 






    	137



    	 



    


 


Any
of the following document defects shall be conclusively presumed materially and adversely to affect the interests of Certificateholders
in a Mortgage Loan and be a Material Document 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 that appears to be regular on its face (if
such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item); (B) the absence from the Mortgage File
of the original signed Mortgage (or with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof) that appears to be regular
on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File a certified copy of the Mortgage by the local authority with which
the Mortgage was recorded (if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item); (C) the
absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by paragraph (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”
(or with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof) (if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure
to deliver such item); (D) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original or a copy of any letter of credit in effect
as of the Closing Date (if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item); or (E) the absence
from the Mortgage File of a copy of the item specified in paragraph (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File”
(if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item) if the related Mortgage Loan is secured
only by the related ground lease, Space Lease or air rights lease. If any party hereto notifies the Trustee of the occurrence
of any of the foregoing Material Document Defects, the Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and
the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans), as applicable, shall take the steps described elsewhere in this Section 2.3(a), including the
giving of notices to the related Seller, the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 5.7), the parties hereto and, to
the extent any Material Document Defect relates to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion
Loan, and the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), as applicable, shall make demand upon the related Seller for the cure of the document defect
or repurchase or replacement of the related Mortgage Loan.


 


If
the related Seller disputes that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan or otherwise
refuses (i) to effect a correction or cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, (ii) to repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan from the Trust or (iii) to replace an affected Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan, each in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then provided that (x) the period of time
provided for the related Seller to correct, repurchase or cure has expired and (y) the Mortgage Loan is then in default (or
default is reasonably foreseeable) and is then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer may, subject to the Servicing
Standard, modify, workout or foreclose, sell or otherwise liquidate (or permit the liquidation of) the Mortgage Loan or any REO
Property, as applicable, pursuant to Section 9.5, Section 9.12, Section 9.13, Section 9.15,
Section 9.16, Section 9.17 and Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor
Agreement, as applicable, while pursuing the repurchase claim. The related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) has acknowledged
and agreed under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that any modification of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to a workout
shall not constitute a defense to any repurchase claim nor shall such modification and workout change the Purchase Price due from
the related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) for any repurchase claim. In the event of any such modification and workout,
the related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) has


 






    	138



    	 



    

 


agreed
under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase the Mortgage Loan as modified and that the Purchase Price shall
include any Workout Fee paid to the Special Servicer up to the date of repurchase plus the present value (calculated at the applicable
Calculation Rate) of the Workout Fee that would have been payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan if
it performed in accordance with its terms to its Maturity Date, provided that no amount shall be paid by the related Seller
(or any related Seller Guarantor) in respect of any Workout Fee if a Liquidation Fee already comprises (or will comprise) a portion
of the Purchase Price or if the related Mortgagor has already paid such fee. The related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor)
shall be notified promptly and in writing by the Special Servicer of any offer that it receives to purchase the applicable Mortgage
Loan or any REO Property, as applicable, each in connection with such liquidation. Any sale of the related Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure
thereupon and sale of the related REO Property, to a Person other than the related Seller shall be without (i) recourse of
any kind (either expressed or implied) by such Person against the related Seller and (ii) representation or warranty of any
kind (either expressed or implied) by the related Seller to or for the benefit of such Person.


 


The
fact that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not discovered until after the completion of foreclosure (but in all
instances prior to the sale of the related REO Property) shall not prejudice any claim against the Seller (or any related Seller
Guarantor) for repurchase of the REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein). In such an event, the Master Servicer (with
respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans),
as applicable, shall notify the related Seller of the discovery of the Material Document Defect or Material Breach and the related
Seller shall have ninety (90) days to correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase the REO
Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the Purchase Price. If the related Seller (or any related Seller Guarantor)
fails to correct or cure the Material Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase the REO Property, then the provisions above
regarding notice of offers related to such REO Property shall apply. After a final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or REO Property,
if a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order after the expiration of any applicable appeal period that the related
Seller (or any related Seller Guarantor) is or was obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property (a “Final
Judicial Determination”) or the related Seller (or any related Seller Guarantor) otherwise accepts liability, then,
but in no event later than the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 11.1, the related Seller (and any related
Seller Guarantor) will be obligated to pay to the Trust the difference between any Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation
(including those arising from any sale to the related Seller) and the Purchase Price.


 


In
any month in which the related Seller (or any related Seller Guarantor) substitutes one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of all such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of scheduled principal portion of the monthly
payments received in the month of substitution). The Depositor shall cause the related Seller (or any related Seller Guarantor)
to deposit the amount of such shortage into the Collection Account in the month of substitution, without any reimbursement thereof.
In addition, the Depositor shall cause the related Seller (or any related Seller Guarantor) to deposit into the Collection Account,
together


 






    	139



    	 



    


 


with such shortage, if any, an amount equal to interest
on the Deleted Mortgage Loans at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Mortgage Rate from the Due Date as to which interest
was last paid up to the Due Date next succeeding such substitution together with the amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
amounts required to be paid to the Special Servicer but remaining unpaid or unreimbursed, and interest on unreimbursed Advances
with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans at the Advance Rate. The Depositor shall cause the related Seller (or any related
Seller Guarantor), in the case of the Mortgage Loans, to give notice in writing (accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate
as to the calculation of such shortage) to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer of such event which notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate as to the calculation of
such shortfall.


 


If
the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to
which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan,
servicing released basis.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 30 or paragraph 32
in Exhibit 2 to any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and as a result the payments by a Mortgagor of reasonable costs and
expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due-on-sale”
or “due-on-encumbrance” clause or the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan are insufficient such that the Trust incurs an
Additional Trust Expense in an amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, the related Seller
(and any related Seller Guarantor) has agreed to reimburse the Trust within ninety (90) days of the receipt of notice of
such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such Additional Trust Expense. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable
Seller’s obligation shall be such Seller’s pro rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest
as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan. The parties hereto acknowledge
that such reimbursement shall be the only obligation of the related Seller (and any related Seller Guarantor) with respect to
the breach discussed in the second preceding sentence.


 


If
a Mortgage Loan or an REO Property is repurchased or replaced by a Seller (or any related Seller Guarantor) as contemplated by
this Section 2.3, the Master Servicer shall provide prompt electronic notice to the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator (who shall promptly post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 5.4)
and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant
to Section 5.7).


 


With
respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Sellers to repurchase or substitute with respect
to a Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall be limited to a repurchase or
substitution with respect to the Mortgage Note it sold to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Sellers with respect to the Mortgage
Note sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material


 






    	140



    	 



    

 


Document
Defect or Material Breach with respect to the entire related Joint Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Sellers
with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan.


 


(b)          In
connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.3, the Trustee,
the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the related Seller, after delivery to each of
them of a receipt executed by such Seller, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan
possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary
or appropriate to the related Seller or its designee in the same manner, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially
similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which documents were previously assigned to the Trustee, but in any event, without
recourse, representation or warranty; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon
its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered
by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of
them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.3, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee
and the Master Servicer) necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so. The Master Servicer shall, and is also hereby authorized
and empowered by the Trustee to, reconvey to the related Seller any deposits then held in an Escrow Account relating to the Mortgage
Loan being repurchased or substituted for. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for all costs, liabilities and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee in connection with any negligent or intentional misuse of any such powers
of attorney by the Master Servicer.


 


(c)          The
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provide the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, respecting any Material Document Defect or Material Breach. The parties hereunder understand that (i) MSMCH,
as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement II, will be providing the remedies with respect to the MSMCH Loans, (ii) BANA,
as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement I, will be providing the remedies with respect to the BANA Loans, (iii) CIBC,
as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement III, will be providing the remedies with respect to the CIBC Loans, and (iv) SMF
III, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement IV (and Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as the guarantor of SMF III’s
repurchase and/or substitution obligations), will be providing the remedies with respect to the SMF III Loans.


 


(d)          The
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may enforce the provisions of this Section 2.3.


 


(e)          If
the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (each a “Repurchase Request Recipient”): (1) receives
notice of a Demand; or (2) receives notice of a withdrawal of a Demand by the Person making such Demand, then such party
shall give written notice thereof to the applicable Seller and the other parties hereto within ten (10) Business Days from
the date of receipt of such notice. Each notice required by this Section 2.3(e) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”)
shall include: (i) the date the Demand was delivered to the Repurchase Request Recipient or was withdrawn by the Person making
such Demand, as the case may be;


 






    	141



    	 



    

 


(ii) the
identity of the related Mortgage Loan and the identity of the Person making such Demand; (iii) the breach of representation
or warranty or document deficiency asserted by the Person making the Demand, to the extent known to the Repurchase Request Recipient;
and (iv) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Demand. Each Rule 15Ga-1
Notice may be delivered by electronic means. A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information under
this Section 2.3(e) if and to the extent that such information is protected by either the attorney-client privilege
or the attorney work product doctrines. Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1
Notice is provided only to assist the Depositor, the related Seller and their respective Affiliates in complying with Rule 15Ga-1,
Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other 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 2.3(e) by a Repurchase
Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request
Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request
that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice


 


If
the Trustee, Custodian or the Certificate Administrator receives a Demand, then such party shall promptly (but in no event later
than ten (10) calendar days following receipt by the Certificate Administrator, Custodian or the Trustee, as the case may be)
forward such Demand to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Special Servicer), if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, or to the Special Servicer (with a copy to the Master Servicer), if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or any
successor REO Mortgage Loan), and shall include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Demand”
under Section 2.3 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the MSBAM 2015-C23 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates requiring action by you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” thereunder”. Upon receipt of a Demand
by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the prior sentence, such party shall be deemed a Repurchase
Request Recipient in respect of such Demand, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in the prior paragraph
of this Section 2.3(e) with respect to such Demand. None of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator
shall accept any oral Demands, and each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall direct any Person
making a Demand to submit it in writing to the Certificate Administrator (who will then act in accordance with the first sentence
of this paragraph). Any Demand to the Certificate Administrator must be submitted in writing or by email to mmgrepurchases@wellsfargo.com
(or such other email address as the Certificate Administrator shall designate from time to time) with a subject line of “Repurchase
Request - MSBAM 2015-C23”.

2.4          Representations and Warranties. The Depositor hereby represents
and warrants to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust),
Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that:

(b)          The
execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part
of the Depositor; neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated,
nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, (i) any
of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its properties;
(ii) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor; or (iii) the terms of any indenture or other agreement

of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
over it, which materially and adversely affects or to the best knowledge of the Depositor may in the future materially and adversely
affect (i) the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) the business, operations,
financial condition, properties or assets of the Depositor;


 


(c)          The

do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in
respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or

of public policy with respect to indemnification or contribution as to violations of securities laws;


 


(e)          There
are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened or likely to be asserted
against or affecting the Depositor, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter which in the judgment

THE CERTIFICATES


 


Section
3.1          The Certificates.


 


(a)          The
Certificates shall be in substantially the forms set forth in the Exhibits attached hereto, 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 Trustee or the Depositor 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 to comply with the rules of any securities exchange on which any of the Certificates may be listed, or as may, consistently
herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof.


 


Each
Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall be issued on the Closing Date with the respective Aggregate Certificate Balance set forth
for such Class in the Preliminary Statement hereto.


 


The
Definitive Certificates shall be printed, typewritten, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods

be listed,


 






    	144



    	 



    

 


all
as determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof.


 


(b)          The

(c)          Each
Certificate shall, on original issue, be executed by the Certificate Registrar and authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon
the order of the Depositor. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed
by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be dated the date of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Depositor may deliver Certificates to the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
and deliver such Certificates only as provided for in this Agreement. If additional Certificates need to be prepared at any time
subsequent to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the
Depositor’s expense, any such additional Certificates. With respect to the REMIC III Regular Certificates and Exchangeable

or removed by the Certificate Administrator or the Certificateholders, and a new successor may be appointed, in accordance with
the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 7.6 and 7.7 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge
or removal of the Certificate Administrator and the appointment of a successor Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Registrar
may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Trustee, any trust company to act as co-registrar under
such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved
of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.

Section
3.3          Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.


 


(a)          A
Certificate may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Certificate Administrator, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed
by such Holder or such Holder’s duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar.
Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, and subject to the restrictions set forth in the
other subsections of this Section 3.3, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the
same aggregate initial Certificate Balance, initial Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case may be, as the Certificate
being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but
the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any registration or transfer of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any request for
a registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period beginning five (5) calendar days prior to any Distribution
Date.


 


(b)          A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations,
representing in the aggregate the same initial Certificate Balance, initial Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case
may be, as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar
duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of exchange duly executed by such Holder or such Holder’s duly authorized
attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence
the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge
shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate,
date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


(c)          No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer,
sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws.
If a transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the
Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Non-Registered Certificate
by the Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives
(and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 hereto and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A hereto or as Exhibit D-2B hereto;
or (ii) 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


 






    	146



    	 



    

 


certification(s)
as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No transfer of a Class R Certificate may be
made to a Person that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and any certificate and/or opinion of counsel delivered pursuant
to the preceding sentence must reflect that the Transferee of a Class R Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer. No
transfer of a Class V Certificate may be made to a Person that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Institutional Accredited
Investor. No transfer of a Class V or Class R Certificate may be made in book-entry form. No Person may hold an interest
in a Rule 144A Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person”
(as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate,
and transfers of interests in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party
to this Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of Non-Registered Certificates or interests therein shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and each party to this Agreement against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.


 


(d)          No
transfer of a Class V or Class R Certificate or other Non-Investment Grade Certificate or any interest therein shall be made
(A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities,
Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts, the assets of which are considered “plan assets”
under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation,
insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable
federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the
Code (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate
or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of a Plan, unless: (i) except
in the case of a Class V or Class R Certificate, the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein qualifies
for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60; or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate (other than a Class
V or Class R Certificate) held as a Definitive Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar
with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that
such transfer will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or any Similar Laws or subject any party to this Agreement to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this
Agreement. Each Person who acquires any Class V or Class R Certificate or other Non-Investment Grade Certificate as a Definitive
Certificate (unless it shall have acquired such Certificate from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or unless, in the case
of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate (other than a Class V or Class R Certificate), it shall have delivered to the Certificate
Registrar the certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in


 






    	147



    	 



    

 


clause (ii)
of the preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification in the form of Exhibit
D-2A or Exhibit D-2B hereto that includes a certification to the effect that: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any
Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with “plan assets” of a Plan; or (ii) that, except in the case of a Class V or Class R Certificate,
the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Person qualifies for the exemptive relief available under
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions” rules under ERISA issued
by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.


 


(e)          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 and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate
Administrator under clause (F) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably
authorized the Certificate Registrar under clause (G) below to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute
all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of such person acquiring
any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:


 


(A)          (1)
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and a United
States Tax Person other than a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes)
any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other
than through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee and (2) each Person holding or acquiring
any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Qualified Institutional Buyer and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Qualified Institutional Buyer.


 


(B)          In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall
require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives,
an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing
and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as
a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, that it is a United States Tax Person other
than a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any interest in which
is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation)
by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, that if such Transferee is a partnership, trust or disregarded entity for
U.S. federal income


 






    	148



    	 



    

 


tax purposes, then each Person that may be allocated income from a Class R Certificate is a United
States Tax Person, that it is not a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income
tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person, that it has historically paid its debts as they have come due and will continue to
do so in the future, that it understands that its tax liability with respect to the Class R Certificates may exceed cash
flows thereon and it intends to pay such taxes as they come due, that it will not cause income with respect to the Class R
Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income
tax treaty, of such proposed Transferee or any other United States Tax Person, that it will provide the Certificate Registrar
with all information necessary to determine that the applicable paragraphs of Section 13 of such Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement are true or that Section 13 is not applicable, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 3.3(e)
and agrees to be bound by them.


 


(C)          Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible
Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is not
a United States Tax Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall
be effected.


 


(D)          Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transferee Affidavit
and Agreement 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 certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 stating, among other things that (x) it
has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the proposed Transferee and, as a result of the investigation,
the Transferor determines that the proposed Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came due and found no significant
evidence that the proposed Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they come due in the future and, (y) it has no
actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, is not a United States Tax Person or a partnership
(including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any interest in which is owned (or,
may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation)
by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, is a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of
any applicable income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person or is a Person with respect to which income on the Class R
Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax
treaty.


 


(E)          Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate that is a “pass-through interest holder”
within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) or is holding an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate on behalf of a “pass-through interest holder”, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written


 






    	149



    	 



    

 


notice of its status as such immediately upon holding or acquiring
such Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate.


 


(F)          If
any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) or if any Holder of a Class R Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Tax Person,
then the last preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate that was in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date
of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. None of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator shall be under any liability to
any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.3(e)
or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such
Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(G)          If
any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.3(e),
or if any Holder of a Class R Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Tax Person,
and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights and obligations of the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate
as set forth in clause (F) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Certificate Registrar shall
have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Class R Certificate, but not the obligation, to
sell or cause to be sold such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such terms as the
Certificate Registrar may choose. Such noncomplying Holder shall promptly endorse and deliver such Class R Certificate in
accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate
of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such
noncomplying Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (G) shall be determined in the sole discretion
of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions,
all information in its possession necessary to compute any tax imposed (i) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, including the information described in Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Class R
Certificate and (ii) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership,
trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
having as among its record holders at any time any Person which is not a Permitted Transferee. The Person holding such Ownership
Interest shall be responsible for the reasonable compensation of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator for providing
such information.


 






    	150



    	 



    

 


The
provisions of this Section 3.3(e) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been
delivered to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor, an Opinion of Counsel (subject to Section 5.7, a copy of which shall be provided to each Rating Agency), in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, to the effect that such modification
of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC Pool to (A) cease to qualify as a REMIC or (B) be
subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee,
or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate
to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.


 


(f)          None
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or
the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability to the Trust arising from a transfer of any Certificate in reliance upon a
certification, ruling or opinion of counsel described in this Section 3.3; provided, that the Certificate Registrar
shall not register the transfer of a Class R Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee does not
meet the qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Class R Certificate as set forth in Section 3.3(e); provided,
further, that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Class R Certificate if it shall have
received notice that the Transferor has determined, as a result of the investigation under Section 3.3(e)(D), that
the proposed Transferee has not paid its debts as they came due or that it will not pay its debts as they come due in the future.
The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction
on transfer or exchange of Certificates or any interest therein imposed under this Article III or under applicable
law other than to require delivery of the certifications and/or opinions described in this Article III; provided,
that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Class R Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the
proposed transferee does not meet the qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Class R Certificate as set forth in Section 3.3(e).
The Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers (including without limitation transfers made through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository or between or among Participants or Certificate Owners) made in violation of applicable restrictions,
provided that the Certificate Registrar has satisfied its duties expressly set forth in Sections 3.3(c), 3.3(d)
and 3.3(e).


 


(g)          All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically cancelled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate
Registrar shall hold such cancelled Certificates in accordance with its standard procedures.


 


(h)          The
Certificate Registrar shall provide the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor, upon written request, with an
updated copy of the Certificate Register within a reasonable period of time following receipt of such request.


 


(i)          Unless
and until it is exchanged in whole for the individual Certificates represented thereby, a Global Certificate representing all
of the Certificates of a Class may not be transferred, except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by
a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to
a successor Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor Clearing


 






    	151



    	 



    

 


Agency, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided
that this subsection (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Certificate of a Class that is issued in exchange for
a Global Certificate of the same Class pursuant to Section 3.9 below. Nothing in this subsection (i) shall
prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate effected in accordance with the other
provisions of this Section 3.3.


 


Section
3.4          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (A) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (B) except in the case of a mutilated Certificate so surrendered,
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 notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall 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 3.4, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant
to this Section 3.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.


 


Section
3.5          Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to presentation of a Certificate
for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate
Administrator and any agent of any such party, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as of the related
Record Date as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for
all other purposes whatsoever, and no such party (nor any agent thereof) shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


Section
3.6          Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.


 


(a)          If
any three (3) or more Certifying Certificateholders or any party to this Agreement (i) request in writing from the Certificate
Registrar a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders and (ii) in the case of a request by Certificateholders,
state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this
Agreement or under the Certificates, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt
of such request, at no cost to such requesting party, afford such Certificateholders or applicable party to this Agreement, as
applicable, access during normal business hours to a current list of the Certificateholders or, if requested, shall provide such
list electronically to the applicable requesting party; provided, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required
to determine the identity of any Certificate Owner of any Book-Entry Certificate. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding
a Certificate, agrees that none of the Certificate Registrar or any other party to this Agreement shall be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source
from which such information was derived.


 






    	152



    	 



    

 


(b)          Upon
the written request of any Certifying Certificateholder that (i) states that such Certificateholder desires the Certificate
Registrar to transmit a notice to all Certificateholders stating that such Certificateholder wishes to be contacted by other Certificateholders,
setting forth the relevant contact information and briefly stating the reason for the requested contact and (ii) provides
a copy of the Special Notice which such Certificateholder proposes to transmit, the Certificate Registrar shall deliver such Special
Notice to the Certificate Administrator, who shall make a copy of such Special Notice available electronically on the Certificate
Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 5.4. The costs and expenses of the Certificate Registrar associated
with delivering any such Special Notice shall be borne by the party or parties requesting delivery of such Special Notice. 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 Special Notice to Certificateholders, regardless of the information set forth in such
Special Notice.


 


Section
3.7          Book-Entry Certificates.


 


(a)          The
REMIC III Regular Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates (exclusive of any Non-Registered Certificates that are sold
in the United States to Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers), in the case of each Class
thereof, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates
of such Class, to be delivered to the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, the initial Clearing Agency, by,
or on behalf of, the Depositor, provided, that any Non-Registered Certificates sold to Institutional Accredited Investors
that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, together with the Class V and Class R Certificates, will be issued as Definitive
Certificates. The Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co.,
the nominee of the Depository, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate
representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Global Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.9.
With respect to those Classes of Certificates issued as Global Certificates, unless and until Definitive Certificates have been
issued to the related Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.9:


 


(i)          the
provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Class;


 


(ii)         the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Custodian and the Trustee may deal
with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Certificates) as the authorized representative
of the Certificate Owners;


 


(iii)        to
the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.7 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions
of this Section 3.7 shall control with respect to each such Class; and


 


(iv)        the
rights of the Certificate Owners of each such Class shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable Participants
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing


 






    	153



    	 



    

 


Agency
and/or the Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.9,
the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal
and interest on the related Certificates to such Participants.


 


(b)          For
purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders
of the Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Certificates, such direction
or consent may be given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Certificate Owners owning Certificates evidencing the requisite
percentage of principal amount of Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take conflicting actions with respect to the Certificates
to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of the Certificate Owners.


 


(c)          The
Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) initially sold
in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited
with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the
Depository. The Non-Registered Certificates initially sold to Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional
Buyers, together with the Class V and Class R Certificates, shall be represented by Definitive Certificates for such Class.
The Non-Registered Certificates evidenced by any Rule 144A Global Certificate or Definitive Certificate shall be subject
to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof and shall bear legend(s) regarding such restrictions
described herein.


 


(d)          The
Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) initially sold
in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be represented by the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate
for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered in the
name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. Not earlier than the Release Date, beneficial interests in any Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate shall be exchangeable for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate
for such Class. Beneficial interests in any Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear
Bank or Clearstream Bank; provided, that such interests may be exchanged for interests in the Rule 144A Global Certificate
for such Class in accordance with the certification requirements described in Section 3.7(f). The Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered
in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository.


 


On
or prior to the Release Date and on or prior to any Distribution Date occurring prior to the Release Date, each Certificate Owner
of a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate that holds a beneficial interest therein on the Release Date or on any such
Distribution Date, as the case may be, must deliver to Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank (as applicable) a Regulation S
Certificate; provided, that any Certificate Owner that holds a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate on the Release Date or on any such Distribution Date that has previously delivered a Regulation S Certificate
to Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank with respect to its interest therein does not need to deliver any subsequent Regulation S
Certificate (unless the certificate previously delivered is no longer true as of such subsequent


 






    	154



    	 



    

 


date,
and such Certificate Owner must promptly notify Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, thereof). Euroclear Bank or
Clearstream Bank, as applicable, shall be required to promptly deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the effect that it has received the requisite Regulation S Certificates for
each such Class, and no Certificate Owner (or transferee from any such Certificate Owner) shall be entitled to receive an interest
in the Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for such Class or any payment or principal or interest with respect to its
interest in such Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate prior to the Certificate Registrar receiving such certification
from Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank with respect to the portion of the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate owned
by such Certificate Owner (and, with respect to an interest in the applicable Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate,
prior to the Release Date). After the Release Date, distributions due with respect to any beneficial interest in a Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest
in the related Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate is improperly withheld or refused. No interest in a Regulation S
Global Certificate may be held by or transferred to a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) except for exchanges
for a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class as set forth in Section 3.7(f).


 


(e)          Except
in the limited circumstances described below in Section 3.9, owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates
shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates. The Certificates are not issuable in bearer form.
Upon the issuance of each Global Certificate, the Depository or its custodian shall credit, on its internal system, the respective
principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Certificate to the accounts of Persons who
have accounts with such Depository. Such accounts initially shall be designated by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the Initial
Purchasers. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Certificate shall be limited to Customers or Persons who hold interests
directly or indirectly through Customers. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Certificates shall be shown on, and
the transfer of that ownership shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee (with respect
to interests of Customers) and the records of Customers (with respect to interests of Persons other than Customers).


 


So
long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered holder of a Global Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the
case may be, shall be considered the sole owner and holder of the Certificates represented by such Global Certificate for all
purposes under this Agreement and the Certificates, including, without limitation, obtaining consents and waivers thereunder,
and the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary. Except under the circumstance described in Section 3.9, owners of beneficial interests in a Global
Certificate will not be entitled to have any portions of such Global Certificate registered in their names, will not receive or
be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates in certificated form and shall not be considered the owners
or holders of the Global Certificate (or any Certificates represented thereby) under this Agreement or the Certificates. In addition,
no Certificate Owner of an interest in a Global Certificate shall be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with
the Depository’s applicable procedures (in addition to those under this Agreement and, if applicable, those of Euroclear
Bank and Clearstream Bank).


 






    	155



    	 



    

 


(f)          Any
holder of an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Certificate
Registrar, Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, and the Depository, in the form of an Exchange Certification (substantially
in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto), to exchange all or a portion of such interest (in authorized denominations
as set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class
in connection with a transfer of its interest therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold an interest in such Rule 144A
Global Certificate as set forth herein; provided that no Exchange Certification shall be required if any such exchange
occurs after the Release Date. Any holder of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate shall have the right, upon prior
written notice to the Certificate Registrar, the Depository and Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, in the form
of an Exchange Certification (substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto), to exchange all or a portion
of such interest (in authorized denominations as set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent interest in the Regulation S
Global Certificate for such Class in connection with a transfer of its interest therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold
an interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate as set forth herein; provided, that if such exchange occurs prior
to the Release Date, the transferee shall acquire an interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate only and shall
be subject to all of the restrictions associated therewith described in Section 3.7(d). Following receipt of any Exchange
Certification or request for transfer, as applicable, by the Certificate Registrar: (i) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse
the schedule to any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates being exchanged to reduce the stated principal
amount of such Global Certificate by the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates for which such exchange is to be made,
and (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the schedule to any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates
for which such exchange is to be made to increase the stated principal amount of such Global Certificate by the denominations
of the Certificate or Certificates being exchanged therefor. The form of the Exchange Certification shall be available from the
Certificate Registrar.


 


(g)          If
a Holder of a Definitive Certificate wishes at any time to exchange such Definitive Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A
Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer such Definitive Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery
thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class, such Holder may, subject to the
rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the exchange of such Definitive Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest
in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class; provided that such Holder shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses associated therewith. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its Corporate Trust Office, of (1) such
Definitive 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 Rule 144A Global Certificate equal
to the Certificate Balance of the Definitive Certificate to be exchanged or transferred, 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 D-3 hereto, then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel or cause the cancellation of such Definitive
Certificate and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the applicable
Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Definitive Certificate to be exchanged or transferred
and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a


 






    	156



    	 



    

 


beneficial
interest in the applicable Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the Definitive Certificate so
canceled.


 


Section
3.8          Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication
to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to
the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.9, the Certificate Administrator shall give all such notices
and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give
such notices and communications to the related Participants in accordance with its applicable rules, regulations and procedures.


 


Section
3.9          Definitive Certificates.


 


(a)          Definitive
Certificates will be issued to the owners of beneficial interests in a Global Certificate or their nominees if (i) the Clearing
Agency notifies the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Clearing Agency is unwilling or unable to continue
as depositary for such Global Certificate and a qualifying successor depositary is not appointed by the Depositor within ninety
(90) days thereof or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or caused to be instituted or has been directed to institute any
judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and under such Global Certificate
and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or advisable for the Trustee
or its custodian to obtain possession of such Global Certificate; provided, that under no circumstances will Definitive
Certificates be issued to Certificate Owners of the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence
of any of the events described in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency and request
the Clearing Agency to notify all Certificate Owners, through the applicable Participants, of the occurrence of the event and
of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate
Registrar of the Global Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency
for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive
Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall
be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed
by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable
with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
shall recognize the Holders of Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.


 


(b)          If
any Certificate Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor
that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a
“U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional
Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Definitive
Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Definitive Certificate in Section 3.3. No such transfer
shall be made and the Certificate Registrar


 






    	157



    	 



    

 


shall
not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 3.3 applicable to transfers
of Definitive Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Definitive
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 Definitive Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.


 


(c)          Distributions
of principal and interest on the Definitive Certificates shall be made by the Certificate Administrator directly to holders of
Definitive Certificates in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.


 


Section
3.10     Exchanges of Exchangeable Certificates.


 


(a)          On
the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust shall issue the several Classes of Exchangeable Certificates. Each Class of Exchangeable Certificates
shall be issued on the Closing Date with the respective Aggregate Certificate Balance set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.


 


(b)          At
the request of the Holder of Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates in the Exchange Proportion, and upon the surrender of
such Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall exchange such Exchangeable Certificates for Class PST Certificates
with an original Aggregate Certificate Balance equal to the original Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-S, Class B and
Class C Certificates exchanged therefor. At the request of the Holder of Class PST Certificates, and upon the surrender of such
Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall exchange such Exchangeable Certificates for Class A-S, Class B
and Class C Certificates in the Exchange Proportion and with an original Aggregate Certificate Balance equal to the original Aggregate
Certificate Balance of the Class PST Certificates exchanged therefor. No service charge (other
than administrative fees charged by the Depository) shall be payable by a Certificateholder in connection with any exchange
of Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.10. There shall be no limitation on the number of exchanges authorized pursuant
to this Section 3.10; provided, that (i) each of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates exchanged (whether
surrendered or received) in such exchange shall have denominations no smaller than the minimum denominations set forth in Section
3.1 and (ii) exchanges pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall not be permitted after the Certificate Balance of the Class
A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (and therefore the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST
Component A-S Principal Amount of the Class PST Component A-S) has been reduced to zero or if any Class of Exchangeable Certificates
is no longer maintained as a Book-Entry Certificate. In addition, the Depositor shall have the right to make or cause exchanges
on the Closing Date pursuant to instructions delivered to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date.


 


(c)          [Reserved].


 


(d)          In
connection with any exchange of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall reduce the outstanding Aggregate Certificate
Balance of such Class or


 






    	158



    	 



    

 


Classes
of Exchangeable Certificates surrendered by the applicable Holder on the Certificate Register and shall increase the outstanding
Aggregate Certificate Balance of the related Class or Classes of Exchangeable Certificates received by such Holder in such exchange
on the Certificate Register and the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall give appropriate
instructions to the Depository and make appropriate notations on the Registered Global Certificate for each Class of Exchangeable
Certificates to reflect such reductions and increases.


 


(e)          In
order to effect an exchange of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificateholder shall notify the Certificate Administrator in
writing or by e-mail to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com (with
a subject line referencing “MSBAM 2015-C23” 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: the CUSIP number of each Exchangeable
Certificate to be exchanged and each Exchangeable Certificate to be received; the outstanding Certificate Balance and the initial
Certificate Balance of the Exchangeable Certificates to be exchanged, the Certificateholder’s DTC participant number; and
the proposed Exchange Date. The Certificateholder and the Certificate Administrator shall utilize the “deposit and withdrawal
system” at the Depository to effect such exchange of the applicable Exchangeable Certificates. A notice shall become irrevocable
on the second Business Day before the proposed Exchange Date. Exchangeable Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of
the Depository for the corresponding Exchangeable Certificates on and after the Closing Date, by notice to the Certificate Administrator
substantially in the form of Exhibit Q.


 


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


 


ARTICLE
IV

ADVANCES


 


Advances
shall be made as provided herein by the Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not make such Advances, by the Trustee
except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in accordance with
Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 






    	159



    	 



    

 


Section
4.1     P&I Advances by Master Servicer.


 


(a)          On
or prior to the Advance Report Date, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if any P&I
Advance Amount for such Distribution Date is greater than zero (provided that such notice shall be deemed given if the Master
Servicer complies with its obligations under Section 8.11(a) or Section 8.11(d)(v)), and the Master Servicer shall
make a P&I Advance in respect of each applicable Mortgage Loan of such amount no later than the Master Servicer Remittance
Date. It is understood that the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory and shall apply through
any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of the Mortgagor or related bankruptcy,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be required
to make such P&I Advance if the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such
P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and shall not make such P&I Advance if such P&I Advance if made would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 4.4,
in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such P&I Advance; provided
that the Special Servicer has no obligation to make such determination. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on
the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders, and the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on any such determination by the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not make P&I Advances under this
Agreement. If the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance that it is required to make under this Section 4.1,
it shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of such failure.


 


(b)          If
the Master Servicer determines that there is a P&I Advance Amount for a Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall on the
related Master Servicer Remittance Date either (A) deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the P&I Advance
Amount or (B) utilize funds in the Collection Account being held for future distributions or withdrawals to make such Advance,
except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® License Fee for each such Mortgage Loan shall
not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC®. Any funds being held
in the Collection Account for future distribution or withdrawal and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its
own funds by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that funds
in the Collection Account on such Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Certificate Administrator
or other Persons required to be made on such date.


 


(c)          In
no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) be obligated to make a P&I Advance with respect to a B Note,
a Serviced Companion Loan or a Non-Serviced Companion Loan.


 


(d)          In
no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) be obligated to make a P&I Advance with respect to any
Mortgage Loan if the sum of all outstanding P&I Advances in respect of such Mortgage Loan (together with Advance Interest)
is equal to or greater than the Stated Principal Balance plus all overdue amounts on such Mortgage Loan.

Section 4.1A     P&I
Advances with Respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loans. With respect to the Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loans and Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loans (the “P&I Pari Passu Loans”), the Master Servicer
and Special Servicer shall each be entitled to make its own determination that a P&I Advance previously made on any P&I
Pari Passu Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance
with respect to such P&I Pari Passu Loan in accordance with and subject to Section 4.1 and Section 4.4
independently of any determination made by any Other Master Servicer, Other Trustee or Other Special Servicer under the related
Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect of any P&I Pari Passu Loan following deposit of the Non-Serviced
Companion Loans or Serviced Companion Loans into a commercial mortgage securitization trust, and the Other Master Servicer, Other
Trustee and Other Special Servicer, as applicable, shall each make its own determination that a P&I Advance is or, if made,
will be, a Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or that
any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other Companion
Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to the Non-Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable,
in accordance with the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No determination by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer that any such P&I Advance is nonrecoverable shall be binding on the Other Master Servicer, the Other
Trustee, the Other Special Servicer or the holders of any securities relating to the Non-Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced
Companion Loans, as applicable. No determination by the Other Master Servicer, the Other Trustee or the Other Special Servicer
that any P&I Advance (as defined in the related Other Companion Pooling and Servicing Agreement) is nonrecoverable shall be
binding on the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Special Servicer or the Certificateholders.


 


The
Master Servicer shall not be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any P&I Pari Passu Loan after its receipt
of notice from the related Other Master Servicer, Other Trustee or Other Special Servicer that it has determined that a P&I
Advance (as defined in the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) is or, if made, will be, a Nonrecoverable
Advance on the Non-Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, or that any proposed P&I Advance,
if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to the relevant Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
If the Master Servicer determines (or has received notice from the Special Servicer of its determination) that a P&I Advance
would be (if made), or any outstanding P&I Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall
provide the Other Master Servicer written notice of such determination. If the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee receives
written notice by the Other Master Servicer that it has determined, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, that any proposed future
P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding P&I Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to consult on a non-binding basis with the Other Master Servicer regarding the circumstances with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, but the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall be allowed to ultimately make its own determination.
Any determination that a P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the
Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, any Other Master Servicer, any Other Trustee or any Other Special Servicer may,
in all cases, be conclusively relied on by each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. If the Master Servicer
or the Trustee does


 






    	161



    	 



    

 


not
receive notice of an Appraisal Reduction with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall not be obligated to proportionately reduce the amount of any P&I Advance required to be made by it, except
to the extent an Appraisal Reduction is applied as described in the last sentence of the definition of “Appraisal Reduction.”


 


Following
a securitization of a Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to deliver to the related Other Master Servicer
the following information: (i) any loan related information (in the form received), including without limitation CREFC®
Reports relating to the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, applicable to a determination that an Advance is or would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance, within one (1) Business Day of the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, (ii) notice
of any Servicing Advance it, the Special Servicer or the Trustee makes with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage
Loan within one (1) Business Day of the making of such Advance and (iii) notice of any determination that any Servicing
Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance within one (1) Business Day thereof.


 


Section
4.2     Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not, the Trustee
to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from the Certificate Administrator that such Advance has not been made by the
Master Servicer, shall make Servicing Advances to the extent provided in this Agreement, except to the extent that the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, except to the extent the Special Servicer determines
in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 4.4 that such Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance,
in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such Advance (and the Master Servicer
shall be bound by any such determination); provided that the Special Servicer has no obligation to make such determination.
Such determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Certificateholders
and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the holder of any related Serviced B Note and/or Serviced Companion
Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be required to make Servicing Advances under this Agreement but may make such Servicing Advances
(on an emergency basis) at its option in which event the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing
Advance (together with Advance Interest) promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days) following receipt of a statement
therefor. Promptly after discovering that the Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer
is required to make hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee (if the Certificate Administrator
is not also the Trustee) in writing of the failure by the Master Servicer to make such Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer
may make Servicing Advances in its own discretion if it determines that making such Servicing Advance is in the best interest
of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, in the best interest of the holder of
any related Serviced B Note and the Trust as a collective whole and, in the case of any Loan Pair, in the best interest of the
holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust as a collective whole), even if the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer has determined, in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


The
applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer is obligated to make “Servicing Advances” as defined in, and
pursuant to, the related Non-Serviced Mortgage


 






    	162



    	 



    

 


Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation
or authority to make Servicing Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


Section
4.3     Advances by the Trustee.


 


(a)          To
the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer Remittance
Date (other than a P&I Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance), the
Trustee shall make such P&I Advance to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from the Certificate Administrator not
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution Date that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer
on the Master Servicer Remittance Date unless the Trustee determines (in its good faith business judgment) that such P&I Advance,
if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Certificate Administrator shall notify (i) the Trustee (if the Certificate Administrator
is not also the Trustee) in writing as soon as practicable, but not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution
Date if the Master Servicer has failed to make a P&I Advance and (ii) the Master Servicer and the Trustee in writing as soon
as practicable, but not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, if it has not received
a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan set forth in the Master Servicer Remittance Report provided to the Certificate
Administrator on the related Advance Report Date; provided, the failure of the Certificate Administrator to provide any such notice
within such timeframe shall not diminish in any respect the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
to make such P&I Advance in accordance with the terms set forth above.


 


(b)          To
the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a Servicing Advance by the date such Servicing Advance is required to be made
(other than a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines is a Nonrecoverable
Advance), and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives actual notice thereof, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance
promptly, but in any event, not later than five (5) Business Days after notice thereof in accordance with Section 4.2,
unless the Trustee determines (in its good faith business judgment) that such Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance.


 


(c)          In
no event shall the Trustee be obligated to make a P&I Advance with respect to a B Note, a Serviced Companion Loan or
a Non-Serviced Companion Loan or any Servicing Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


Section
4.4     Evidence of Nonrecoverability.


 


(a)          If
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines at any time, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that any
Advance previously made (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) constitutes, or any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute,
a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the other such
party, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Trust Advisor (other than
during any Subordinate Control Period), the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any


 






    	163



    	 



    

 


Collective
Consultation Period) and the holder of any related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan (if the Advance relates to an A/B
Whole Loan or a Loan Pair, as applicable) by the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date. Such Officer’s Certificate
shall set forth the reasons for such determination of nonrecoverability, together with, to the extent such information, report
or document is in the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s possession, and, if such information, reports or documents
are used by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to determine that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance,
as applicable, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, any related financial information such as related income and expense statements,
rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any Appraisals performed within the last twelve (12) months on the
Mortgaged Property, any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys, internal final valuations or other information relevant
thereto which support such determination. If the Trustee determines at any time that any Advance previously made by the Trustee
constitutes, or any proposed Advance, if made by the Trustee, would constitute, a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination shall
be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee delivered to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the holder of any related Serviced
B Note or Serviced Companion Loan (if the Advance relates to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair, as applicable), the Trust Advisor
(other than during any Subordinate Control Period) and the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period
and any Collective Consultation Period), stating the reasons for such determination. In making any nonrecoverability determination
as set forth above, the relevant party shall be entitled (i) to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor
under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, (ii) to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged
Properties in their “as is” or then-current conditions and occupancies as they actually are or may be modified
by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer)
regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties and/or (iii) to
estimate and consider, consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (among
other things), future expenses and/or the timing of recovery to such party. In addition, any Person, in considering whether any
proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be entitled to give due regard to the existence
of any Nonrecoverable Advance (including any related Advance Interest) or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to
other Mortgage Loans, A/B Whole Loans or Loan Pairs which, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being
deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available
for such reimbursement, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair are a source
of recovery not only for the 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. Furthermore, the relevant party may, consistent
with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, update or change its nonrecoverability
determinations at any time in accordance with the terms hereof and may, consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, obtain from the Special Servicer any analysis, appraisals or other information in
the possession of the Special Servicer for such purposes. Any determination by the Special Servicer that any Advance previously
made (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) constitutes a


 






    	164



    	 



    

 


Nonrecoverable Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, and the Master Servicer and Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any such determination
by the Special Servicer.


 


(b)          The
Trustee shall not make an Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with
the Servicing Standard to be a Nonrecoverable Advance (and, with respect to a Mortgage Loan included in a Loan Pair or any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, shall not be required to make an Advance that the related Other Master Servicer has previously determined to be
a Nonrecoverable Advance). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Trustee shall be obligated to, nor shall it, make any Advance or make any payment that is designated in this Agreement
to be an Advance, if it determines, with regard to the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment or, with respect to the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance or such payment (including interest
accrued thereon at the Advance Rate) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s and Special
Servicer’s determinations in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator and the Certificateholders and may be conclusively relied on by the Trustee and each other. The Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior P&I Advances and Servicing
Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a P&I
Advance or Servicing Advance, as applicable.


 


(c)          Any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for Pari Passu Loan Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to and to the extent set forth
in the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon
provided for under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in the manner set forth in Section 5.2.


 


Section
4.5     Interest on Advances; Calculation of Outstanding Advances with Respect to a Mortgage Loan.
Any unreimbursed Advance funded from the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s own funds
shall accrue interest, compounded annually, at a per annum rate equal to the Advance Rate, from and including the date
such Advance was made to but not including the date on which such Advance has been reimbursed; provided that neither the
Master Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any P&I Advance with respect to
any Mortgage Loan for the period commencing on the date of such P&I Advance and ending on the day on which the grace period
applicable to the related Mortgagor’s obligation to make the related Scheduled Payment expires pursuant to the related Mortgage
Loan documents. All Late Collections on any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in respect of interest shall, promptly following receipt
thereof, be applied by the Master Servicer to reimburse the interest component of any P&I Advance outstanding with respect
to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Any party that makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall
provide to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer monthly, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the
next succeeding Due Date for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, written notice of whether (and, if any, how much) Advance Interest
will be payable on the interest component of that P&I


 






    	165



    	 



    

 


Advance
through the next succeeding related Master Servicer Remittance Date. For purposes of determining whether a P&I Advance is
outstanding, amounts collected with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan (including a successor REO Mortgage Loan) and treated
as collections of principal or interest shall be applied first to reimburse the earliest P&I Advance, and then each succeeding
P&I Advance to the extent not inconsistent with Section 4.6. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent
with the Servicing Standard to collect (but shall have no further obligation to collect), with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other
than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Serviced Companion Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, Penalty Charges
from the Mortgagor in an amount sufficient to pay Advance Interest. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain Excess Penalty
Charges paid by any Mortgagor during a Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than the portion of such Excess
Penalty Charges that relate to the period commencing after the Servicing Transfer Event in respect of a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, as to which the Special Servicer shall retain Excess Penalty Charges with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan)
as additional servicing compensation. Penalty Charges shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.2(b).


 


Section
4.6     Reimbursement of Advances and Advance Interest.


 


(a)          Advances
made with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, Serviced B Note, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property
(including Advances later determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) and Advance Interest thereon shall be reimbursed to the extent
of the amounts identified to be applied therefor in Section 5.2. The aggregate of the amounts available to repay Advances
and Advance Interest thereon pursuant to Section 5.2 collected in any Collection Period with respect to Mortgage Loans,
any Serviced Companion Loan or any Serviced B Note or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Property shall be an “Available
Advance Reimbursement Amount.”


 


(b)          To
the extent that Advances have been made on the Mortgage Loans, any Loan Pair, any A/B Whole Loan or any REO Loans, the Available
Advance Reimbursement Amount with respect to any Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be applied to reimburse (i) the Trustee
for any Advances outstanding to the Trustee with respect to any of such Mortgage Loans, Loan Pairs, A/B Whole Loans and/or REO
Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the Trustee with respect to such Advances, and then (ii) the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer for any Advances outstanding thereto with respect to any of such Mortgage Loans, Loan Pairs, A/B Whole Loans
and/or REO Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to such Advances.
To the extent that any Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee with respect to an
Advance on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan cannot be recovered from the related Mortgagor, the amount of such Advance
Interest shall be payable to the Trustee, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, from amounts on deposit
in the Collection Account (or sub-account thereof) or the Distribution Account, to the extent of amounts identified to be applied
therefor, pursuant to Section 5.2(a), Section 5.2(b) or Section 5.3(b)(ii). The Master Servicer’s,
the Special Servicer’s and the Trustee’s right of reimbursement under this Agreement for Advances, together with Advance
Interest thereon, shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan, the holder
thereof and, in the case of a Serviced B Note, the holder thereof) to receive any amounts recovered with respect to such Mortgage
Loans, Serviced Companion Loans, Serviced B Notes or REO Loans.


 






    	166



    	 



    

 


(c)          Advance
Interest will be paid to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer (in accordance with the priorities specified
in the preceding paragraph) first, in accordance with Section 5.2(b), from Penalty Charges and Allocable Modification
Fees collected from the Mortgage Loans and, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreements, the Serviced Companion Loans and
Serviced B Note (including REO Loans) during any particular Collection Period during which the related Advance is reimbursed,
and then from Excess Liquidation Proceeds then available, prior to payment from any other amounts. Advance Interest payable to
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee in respect of Servicing Advances on any Loan Pair shall be allocated
to the Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the Serviced Companion Loan on a pro rata basis based upon the respective
Unpaid Principal Balances thereof (after taking into account any amount allocable to any related Serviced B Note, if any, in accordance
with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement).


 


(d)          Amounts
applied to reimburse Advances shall first be applied to reduce Advance Interest thereon that was not paid from amounts specified
in the preceding paragraph (c) and then to reduce the outstanding amount of such Advances.


 


(e)          To
the extent that the Special Servicer incurs out-of-pocket expenses, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in connection with
servicing Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such expenditures with
interest at the Advance Rate promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days) after receiving an invoice and a report
from the Special Servicer, subject to Section 4.4. The Special Servicer shall not invoice the Master Servicer more
than once per calendar month and shall provide an Officer’s Certificate setting forth its expenses and appropriate documentation
evidencing such reimbursements. With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver such invoice and report
to the Master Servicer by the following Determination Date. All such amounts reimbursed by the Master Servicer shall be a Servicing
Advance, subject to Section 4.4. If the Master Servicer fails to reimburse the Special Servicer hereunder or the Master
Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance was or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and the Master Servicer does
not make such payment, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator in writing of such
nonpayment and the amount payable to the Special Servicer and shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Trust in the
same manner as the Master Servicer would have been reimbursed for the Advance with interest at the Advance Rate. The Master Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have no obligation to verify the amount payable to the Special Servicer pursuant
to this Section 4.6(e) and circumstances surrounding the notice delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to this
Section 4.6(e).

at any time from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for the account of

the Collection Account (and, solely to the extent that the loss is of an amount credited to a Custodial Account, deposit to such
Custodial Account) out of its own funds immediately as realized; provided that, such investment losses shall not
include any loss with respect to such investment which is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state
chartered depositary institution or trust company at which such Investment Account is maintained, so long as such depositary institution
or trust company (a) satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Eligible Account” both at the
time such investment was made and as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such loss and (b) is
not the Person that made the relevant investment. If the Master Servicer deposits in or transfers to the Collection Account or
any Custodial Account, as the case may be, any amount not required to be deposited therein or transferred thereto, it may at any

any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(f)          Except
as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Eligible Investment,
or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Eligible Investment, the Certificate Administrator, on behalf
of the Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and
prosecution of appropriate proceedings; provided that if the Master Servicer shall have deposited in the Collection Account
or the related Custodial Account, as applicable, an amount equal to all amounts due under any such Eligible Investment (net of
anticipated income or earnings thereon that would have been payable to the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation)
the Master Servicer shall have the sole right to enforce such payment or performance.

the terms of the related Mortgage Loans and Sections 8.3(e) and 10.3 hereof and the terms and conditions of
any related Intercreditor Agreement. Schedule VII sets forth those Mortgage Loans as to which an upfront reserve was

for ongoing obligations, such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums, ongoing property maintenance, replacements and capital
improvements or debt service).

and


 


(C)          unless

of amounts permitted or required to be transferred therefrom as set forth in clauses (A) and/or (B) above),
to the extent that the holder of such Serviced B Note is entitled thereto under the related Intercreditor Agreement (including
by way of the operation of any provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement that entitles the holder of such Serviced B Note
to reimbursement of cure payments made by it);


 


and
provided, further, that in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan:


 


(A)          to
the extent consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to make transfers from time
to time, from the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account to the portion of the Collection Account that does not constitute
any such Custodial Account, of amounts necessary for the payments or reimbursement of amounts described in any one or more of
clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above, but only insofar as the

(B)          the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to make transfers from time to time, from the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account
to the portion of the Collection Account that does not constitute any such Custodial Account, of amounts not otherwise described
in clause (A) above to which the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan is entitled under the related
Intercreditor Agreement (including in respect of interest, principal and Prepayment Premiums); and


 


(C)          the
Master Servicer shall, on either (x) the date set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement for remittances (or, if none,
on the first (1st) Business Day after


 






    	175



    	 



    

 


receipt of properly identified funds (provided, that if any such
amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to remit such funds within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall
remit such funds within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such amounts)) or (y) such other date as may be agreed to between
the Master Servicer and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (in their respective sole discretion), remit to the
holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan all amounts on deposit in the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account
(net of amounts permitted or required to be transferred therefrom as set forth in clauses (A) and/or (B) above),
to the extent that the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is entitled thereto under the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


The
Master Servicer shall pay to each of the Special Servicer (or, in the case of an emergency, to third party contractors at the
written direction of the Special Servicer), the Trust Advisor, the Custodian, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as
applicable, from the applicable Collection Account, amounts permitted to be paid thereto from such account promptly upon receipt
on or prior to the related Determination Date of a written statement of an officer of the Special Servicer, an officer of the
Trust Advisor or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, describing
the item and amount to which the Special Servicer (or, in the case of an emergency, such third party contractor), the Trust Advisor,
the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is entitled (unless such payment to the Special
Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is clearly required
pursuant to this Agreement, in which case a written statement is not required). The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any
such written statement and shall have no duty to recalculate or investigate (absent manifest error) the amounts stated therein.
The parties seeking payment pursuant to this Section shall each keep and maintain a separate accounting for the purpose of justifying
any request for withdrawal from each Collection Account, on a loan by loan basis.


 


No
decision by the Master Servicer or the Trustee under either this Section 5.2(a)(I) or subsection (iv) of
Section 5.2(a)(II), to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or Advance Interest shall be construed as an agreement
by the Master Servicer to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right
to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.


 


Expenses
incurred with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair shall be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement
(or with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as a Loan Pair in accordance with Section 8.30 hereof, the applicable
Mortgage Loan documents). The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion
Loan and Serviced B Note for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal or transfer from the Collection Account and any Custodial
Account, as applicable. If funds collected in respect of the A Notes (or, in the case of a Loan Pair with a Serviced B Note,
if any, in respect of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan(s)) are insufficient to pay the Master Servicing Fee
in respect thereof, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw the amount of such shortfall from the collections on,
and other proceeds of, the Serviced B Note that are held in the related Custodial Account. The


 






    	176



    	 



    

 


Master Servicer shall not be permitted
to withdraw any funds from the portion of the Collection Account that does not constitute such Custodial Account unless there
are no remaining funds in such Custodial Account available and required to be paid in accordance with the related Intercreditor
Agreement.


 


Subsection (II).
The provisions of this subsection II of this Section 5.2(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision
of subsection (I) of this Section 5.2(a):


 


(i)          Identification
of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts. If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the date on which
such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the requirement that the Mortgagor shall have made three (3) consecutive scheduled
payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, together with Advance Interest accrued
thereon, is not, pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 5.2(a)(I), reimbursed to the Person who made
such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, such Advance, together
with such Advance Interest, shall constitute a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” to the extent that such
amount has not been determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amount” shall be construed always to mean the related Advance and any Advance Interest thereon, together with any further
Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions
of this Agreement. That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner
limit the right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


(ii)          General
Relationship of Provisions. Subsection (iii) below (subject to the terms and conditions thereof) sets forth the
terms of and conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed for any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that
such Person is not otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the
operation of Section 5.2(a)(I) above. Subsection (iv) below (subject to the terms and conditions thereof)
authorizes the Master Servicer to abstain from reimbursing itself (or, if applicable, the Trustee to abstain from obtaining reimbursement)
for Nonrecoverable Advances under certain circumstances at its sole option. Upon any determination that all or any portion of
a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the reimbursement or payment of such amount
(and any further Advance Interest that may accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the operation of subsection (iii)
below, such amount (and further Advance Interest) shall be as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant Person as would
any other Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) and, as a Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become the subject
of the Master Servicer’s (or, if applicable, the Trustee’s) exercise of its sole option authorized by subsection (iv)
below.


 


(iii)          Reimbursements
of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall
be entitled to


 






    	177



    	 



    

 


reimbursement and payment for all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in each Collection Period; provided
that the aggregate amount (for all such Persons collectively) of such reimbursements and payments in such Collection Period
shall not exceed (and the reimbursement and payment shall be made from) the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable
to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A)
of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount (but not including any such amounts that constitute Advances) and net of any
Nonrecoverable Advances then outstanding and reimbursable from such principal in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(II)(iv)
below. As and to the extent provided in clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the Principal Distribution Amount
for the Distribution Date related to such Collection Period shall be reduced to the extent that such payment or reimbursement
of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is made from the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal pursuant
to the preceding sentence.


 


(iv)          Reimbursement
of Nonrecoverable Advances; Sole Option to Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances. To the extent that
Section 5.2(a)(I) otherwise entitles each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee to reimbursement
for any Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Penalty Charges and Allocable
Modification Fees on the related Mortgage Loan) during any Collection Period, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of
subsection (I) above, (a) to the extent that one or more such reimbursements and payments of Nonrecoverable Advances
(and such Advance Interest thereon) are made, such reimbursements and payments shall be made, first, from the aggregate
amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period
contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount (but not including any such amounts
that constitute Advances, and prior to any deduction for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (and Advance Interest thereon)
that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from amounts allocable to principal received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans, as described by clause (II)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount and pursuant
to subsection (iii) of Section 5.2(a)(II)), and then from other collections (including interest)
on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period, and (b) if and to the extent that the amount of such a Nonrecoverable Advance
(and Advance Interest thereon), together with all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) theretofore reimbursed
during such Collection Period, would exceed such principal on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period (and Advance Interest
thereon), the Master Servicer (and the Trustee, if it made the relevant Advance) is hereby authorized (but shall not be construed
to have any obligation whatsoever), if it elects at its sole option, to abstain from reimbursing itself (notwithstanding that
it is entitled to such reimbursement) during that Collection Period for all or a portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance
Interest thereon), provided that the aggregate amount that is deferred with respect to all Nonrecoverable Advances (and
Advance Interest thereon) with respect to all Mortgage Loans for any particular Collection Period is less than or equal to such
excess described above in this clause (b). If the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) makes such an election at its sole
option to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), then
such


 






    	178



    	 



    

 


Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent
Collection Period to the same extent as set forth above. In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee to abstain 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
to be received before making its determination of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance
or portion thereof until the end of the Collection Period.


 


None
of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an
election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv). 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 subsection (II)(iv) or to comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv)
and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made.


 


Any
election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance
Interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer
(or the Trustee) any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person
to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of
the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon).
Any election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion
thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of Advance Interest on the unreimbursed
portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. 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 holder of a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan for any such election that such party makes as
contemplated by this subsection or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such
an election. The foregoing statements in this paragraph shall not limit the generality of the statements made in the immediately
preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have the right to abstain
from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of the amount described in clause (I)(A) of the
definition of Principal Distribution Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Master Servicer
nor the Trustee may abstain from reimbursing itself for any particular Nonrecoverable Advance for a period in excess of twelve
(12) months, and during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, neither the Master Servicer nor
the Trustee may abstain from reimbursing itself for any particular Nonrecoverable Advance for a period in excess of six (6) months
without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative.


 






    	179



    	 



    

 


(v)          Reimbursement
Rights of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee Are Senior. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create
in any Certificateholder a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s
or the Trustee’s right to reimbursement for Advances plus Advance Interest (whether those that constitute Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts, those that have been the subject of the Master Servicer’s election authorized in subsection (iv)
or otherwise).


 


(b)          On
each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and apply as follows all
Penalty Charges (subject to any allocation provision with respect to Penalty Charges in any related Intercreditor Agreement) and
Allocable Modification Fees (in that order) received with respect to a Mortgage Loan or, unless otherwise required to be paid
to the holder thereof pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, a Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note during the
most recently ended Collection Period:


 


(i)          first,
to pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, for all outstanding Nonrecoverable
Advances (together with all unpaid Advance Interest on such Nonrecoverable Advances), all unpaid Advance Interest on any other
Advances and any other outstanding Additional Trust Expenses, in each case, with respect to such Mortgage Loan or, if applicable,
the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan;


 


(ii)          second,
as a reimbursement to the Trust of all Advances (and related Advance Interest) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or, if applicable,
the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan previously determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances and previously reimbursed to the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or Trustee, as applicable, from amounts (other than related Penalty Charges and Allocable Modification
Fees) on deposit in the Collection Account (and such amounts will be retained or deposited in the Collection Account as recoveries
of such Nonrecoverable Advances and related Advance Interest);


 


(iii)          third,
as a reimbursement to the Trust of all other Additional Trust Expenses with respect to such Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, the
related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan previously paid from the Collection Account (and such amounts will be retained or deposited
in the Collection Account as recoveries of such Additional Trust Expenses); and


 


(iv)          fourth,
to pay any remaining Penalty Charges and Allocable Modification Fees to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
as compensation as set forth in either Section 8.10 or Section 9.11, as applicable.


 


(c)          With
respect to any Master Servicer Remittance Date, Scheduled Payments due in a Collection Period succeeding the Collection Period
relating to such Master Servicer Remittance Date, Principal Prepayments received after the related Collection Period, or other
amounts not distributable on the related Distribution Date, shall be held in the Collection Account (or a sub-account thereof)
and shall be remitted to the Distribution Account on the


 






    	180



    	 



    

 


applicable
successive Master Servicer Remittance Date or Dates. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit to
the Distribution Account on any Master Servicer Remittance Date for a Collection Period any Balloon Payments received during the
period that begins two (2) Business Days immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and ends on such Master
Servicer Remittance Date. In connection with the deposit of any Balloon Payments to the Distribution Account in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate
Administrator shall, if it has already reported anticipated distributions to the Depository, use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the Depository to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. Neither the Master Servicer
nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay or failure in the making of such
distribution to Certificateholders. For purposes of the definitions of “Available Distribution Amount” and “Principal
Distribution Amount,” any Balloon Payments that are received prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in any Collection
Period but are includable in the distributions on the Distribution Date in such Collection Period as provided above, shall each
be deemed to have been collected in the prior Collection Period.


 


Section
5.3     Distribution Account and Reserve Accounts.


 


(a)          The
Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee shall establish (with respect to clause (i) and clause (ii),
on or prior to the Closing Date, and with respect to clause (iii) and clause (iv), on or prior to the
date the Certificate Administrator determines is necessary) and maintain in its name, on behalf of the Trustee, (i) an account
(the “Distribution Account”), to be held for the benefit of the Holders until disbursed pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, titled: “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator on behalf of Wilmington

Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23, Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account”, and (iv) an account (the

Excess Interest (whether now or hereafter arising) and the Excess Interest Sub-account, which shall be assets of the Grantor Trust)
and each Reserve Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) shall be owned by REMIC

to this Agreement, including P&I Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, payments of Compensating Interest made
by the Master Servicer and all Excess Liquidation Proceeds. The Certificate Administrator shall deposit amounts constituting collections
of Excess Interest on the Mortgage Loans into the Excess Interest Sub-account. On any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master
Servicer shall have no duty to remit to the Distribution Account any amounts other than amounts held in the Collection Account
and collected during the related Collection Period as provided in clauses (v) and (xii) of Section 5.2(a)(I)
and the P&I Advance Amount.


 


Except

withdraw from the Distribution Account (to the extent of available funds) and deposit in the Interest Reserve Account in respect
of each Interest Reserve Loan, an amount equal to one (1) day’s interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, to the extent
a Scheduled Payment or P&I Advance is timely made in respect thereof for such Due Date (all amounts so deposited in any January
and/or February in respect of each Interest Reserve Loan, “Interest Reserve Amounts”).


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Distribution Account (including the Excess Interest Sub-account), the
Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the TA Unused Fees Reserve Account only for the following purposes:


 


(i)          to
withdraw amounts deposited in the Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the TA Unused Fees
Reserve Account in error and pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto;


 


(ii)          in
the case of the Distribution Account only, to pay any amounts payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust
Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee any fees, indemnification payments, other expenses or other

to, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Agreement; and


 


(v)          to
clear and terminate the Distribution Account and the Reserve Accounts pursuant to Section 11.2.


 


On
each Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of every year commencing in March 2016 (and on any other Master Servicer Remittance
Date related to the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw all Interest Reserve Amounts then in
the Interest Reserve Account and deposit such amounts into the Distribution Account.

Any
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that is a Mortgagor, a Manager, an Affiliate of a Mortgagor or a Manager, or an agent,
principal, partner, member, joint venturer, limited partner, employee, representative, director, trustee or advisor of, or any
investor in, any of the foregoing, shall be entitled to access only the Final Prospectus, the Distribution Date Statements, this

Master
Servicer or Special Servicer shall be by email to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within
a commercially reasonable period following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry with the related

or the Special Servicer 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, this Agreement (including the confidentiality provisions and restrictions
on release of Privileged Information contained in this Agreement) or the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) answering
any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator,

for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Trust Advisor, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall notify
the Person who submitted such Inquiry if the Inquiry will not be answered. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required
to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines,
in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature, and no party shall post or otherwise disclose direct communications
with the Controlling Class Representative or a Loan-Specific Directing Holder as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Investor

any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information, nor will any other Person certify as to the accuracy

name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least forty-five (45) days from the date of such certification
to other registered Certificateholders and registered Certificate Owners. Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory
fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and email address, as well as certain optional fields such as address,
phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned. If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator
that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be


 






    	187



    	 



    

 


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. Rating Agencies and other NRSROs shall not have access
to the Investor Registry.

specification of information to be furnished by the Certificate Administrator in this Section 5.4 (and any other terms
of this Agreement requiring or calling for delivery or reporting of information by the Certificate Administrator to Certificateholders
and Certificate Owners) shall not limit the Certificate Administrator in furnishing, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby
authorized to furnish, to any Privileged Person any other information (such other information, collectively, “Additional
Information”) with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the A/B Whole Loans, the Loan Pairs, the Mortgaged Properties or the
Trust as may be provided to it by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or gathered by it in any investigation
or other manner from time to time, provided that (A) while there exists any Servicer Termination Event, any such Additional

by a Certifying Certificateholder), (B) the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indicate the source of all information
furnished by it, and the Certificate Administrator may affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its sole discretion
(together with any warnings as to the confidential nature and/or the uses of such information as it may, in its sole discretion,
determine appropriate), (C) the Certificate Administrator may notify any Privileged Person of the availability of any such
information in any manner as it, in its sole discretion, may determine, (D) the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled

for refraining from furnishing Additional Information in any instance. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled (but not
required) to request and receive direction from the Depositor as to the manner of delivery of any such Additional Information,
if and to the extent the Certificate Administrator deems necessary or advisable, and to require that any consent, direction or

whether any information submitted or delivered to it constitutes Privileged Information, and shall not have any liability for
posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Privileged Information received from a third party in accordance
with this Agreement, unless such Privileged Information is clearly identified as such to the Certificate Administrator upon delivery
thereto. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor shall not deliver any Privileged Information to the Certificate
Administrator.

to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such
Certificateholder (or such holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note) for the Certificate Administrator’s actual

Section
6.1     Distributions Generally. Subject to Section 11.2(a),
with respect to the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall (1) first,
withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay to the Trustee and Custodian any unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts then required
to be paid pursuant to this Agreement, and then, to the Certificate Administrator, any unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts
then required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement, and then at the written direction of the Master Servicer, withdraw from the

required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement (to the extent not previously retained or withdrawn by the Master Servicer from
the Collection Account), and (2) second, make distributions in the manner and amounts set forth below.


 


Each distribution to
Holders of Certificates shall be made by check mailed to such Holder’s address as it appears on the Certificate Register
of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator on or prior to the related Record Date (or
upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date prior to any Record Date, which instructions

or allocations made with respect to Holders of Certificates of a particular Class on each Distribution Date shall be made or allocated
among the outstanding Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective initial Certificate Balances, in the case of
a Class of





    	199



    	 



    




 


Principal Balance Certificates, or initial Notional Amounts, in the case of a Class of Class X Certificates, or
Percentage Interests, in the case of the Class V and Class R Certificates.


 


Section 6.2     Compliance
with Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator
on behalf of the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders
of interest, original issue discount, or other amounts that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under
the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding and any amount so withheld shall be
regarded as distributed to the related Certificateholders for purposes of this Agreement. If the Certificate Administrator withholds
any amount from payments made to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Certificate Administrator
shall indicate to such Certificateholder the amount withheld. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Certificate Administrator’s
failure to comply with any withholding requirements.


 


Section 6.3          REMIC I.


 


(a)          On
each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to distribute to itself on behalf of the Trustee, as holder
of the REMIC I Regular Interests, for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:


 


(i)          from
the portion of the Available Distribution Amount attributable to interest (other than Excess Interest) collected or advanced or
deemed collected or advanced on or with respect to, and any Excess Liquidation Proceeds attributable to, each Mortgage Loan (including
each REO Mortgage Loan), to pay any and all Distributable Interest with respect to the Corresponding REMIC I Regular
Interest for such Distribution Date;


 


(ii)         from
the portion of the Available Distribution Amount attributable to principal collected or advanced or deemed collected or advanced
on or with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including each REO Mortgage Loan), to pay such principal with respect to the Corresponding
REMIC I Regular Interest, until the REMIC I Principal Amount thereof is reduced to zero; and


 


(iii)        from
any remaining amount of the Available Distribution Amount (other than Excess Interest) and any remaining Excess Liquidation Proceeds
with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including each REO Mortgage Loan), to reimburse, first,
any unreimbursed Collateral Support Deficits previously allocated to the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest, together
with unpaid interest thereon at the related REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate (in each case from the date of allocation), and then,
any unreimbursed Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any other REMIC I Regular Interest, together with unpaid interest
thereon at the related REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate (in each case from the date of allocation).


 


(b)           At
such time as all Distributable Interest with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests has been paid, the REMIC I Principal
Amounts of all of the REMIC I Regular Interests have been reduced to zero, and all Collateral
Support Deficits (including interest thereon) previously allocated thereto to the REMIC I Regular Interests have been
reimbursed, the

Certificate Administrator shall pay to the Holders of the Class R Certificates with respect to the REMIC I
Residual Interest any amounts of the Available Distribution Amount (other than Excess Interest) remaining with respect to each
Mortgage Loan or, to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein, the related REO Property, as applicable.


 


(c)           Any
Prepayment Premium distributed with respect to any Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest

shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the Corresponding REMIC I
Regular Interest for the Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) as to which such Prepayment Premium was received.

Regular Interests, amounts distributable to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates)
and the EC REMIC III Regular Interests, pursuant to Section 6.5, Section 6.10 or Section 11.1,
with respect to such Class’s or EC REMIC III Regular Interest’s Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest.


 


(b)           All
distributions made in respect of a Class of Class X Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.5,
Section 6.10 or Section 11.1, and allocable to any particular Class X REMIC III Regular Interest,
shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III in respect of such Class X REMIC III
Regular Interest’s Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest.


 


(c)           All
distributions made in respect of the Exchangeable Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.5, Section 6.10

distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III in respect of such EC REMIC III Regular Interest’s Corresponding REMIC II
Regular Interest.

(e)           For
purposes of Section 6.4(a), Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) and Section 6.4(d), if the subject
distribution on or in respect of any Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates, Exchangeable Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular

sixty (60) days of such Appraisal Event) (A) an Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage Loan
(other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, if the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan,
Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan exceeds $2,000,000 or (B) at the option of the Special Servicer, if such Stated Principal Balance
is less than or equal to $2,000,000, either an internal valuation prepared by the Special Servicer in accordance with MAI


 



    	211



    	 



    




 


standards
or an Appraisal; provided that if the Special Servicer had completed or obtained an Appraisal or internal valuation within
the immediately prior nine (9) months, the Special Servicer may rely on such Appraisal or internal valuation and shall have
no duty to prepare a new Appraisal or internal valuation, unless the Special Servicer is aware of any material change to the related
Mortgaged Property, its earnings potential or risk characteristics, or marketability, or market conditions that have occurred
that would affect the validity of the appraisal or valuation; and provided, further, that an updated Appraisal
shall not be required with respect to any Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as applicable, and an Appraisal Reduction
will not be required, so long as a debt service reserve, letter of credit, guaranty or surety bond is available and has the ability
to pay off the then Unpaid Principal Balance of the subject Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair in full except to the extent
that the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that obtaining an Appraisal is in the best interests
of the Certificateholders. The Special Servicer shall update such Appraisal or valuation in accordance with the definition of
“market value” as set forth in 12 C.F.R. § 225.62 at least annually, and shall use reasonable efforts to
do so within thirty (30) days of each annual anniversary of the related Appraisal Event, to the extent such Mortgage Loan
remains a Required Appraisal Loan. The cost of any such Appraisal or valuation, if not performed by the Special Servicer, shall
be an expense of the Trust (and any related Serviced B Note) and may be paid from REO Income or, to the extent collections from
such related Mortgage Loan, Serviced B Note, Loan Pair or Mortgaged Property does not cover the expense, such unpaid expense shall
be, subject to Section 4.4 hereof, advanced by the Master Servicer at the request of the Special Servicer or by the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 4.2 in which event it shall be treated as a Servicing Advance. The Special Servicer,
based on the Appraisal or internal valuation prepared or obtained by the Special Servicer and receipt of information requested
by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.9, shall calculate any Appraisal Reduction
and promptly report such amount to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative
(during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor. The Special Servicer shall
calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction for any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced B
Note and Loan Pair based on updated Appraisals or internal valuations prepared or obtained from time to time by the Special Servicer
and report such amount to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative
(during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor annually. The Master Servicer
shall provide the Special Servicer with information (via electronic delivery) in its possession that is required to calculate
or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information
within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s written request (which request shall be made promptly, but in no
event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation
of the applicable internal valuation); provided the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall
not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the Special Servicer in the manner and timing
set forth in this sentence. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reductions.


 


On each and every day
following the Closing Date, the then Aggregate Certificate Balance of each Class of the Principal Balance Certificates and each
EC REMIC III Regular Interest shall be notionally reduced (for purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling


 



    	212



    	 



    




 


Class, whether
a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect and, as and to
the extent contemplated by the definition of “Voting Rights”, the allocation of Voting Rights among the respective
Classes of Principal Balance Certificates) to the extent of the then existing Appraisal Reduction(s) (without giving effect to,
and exclusive of, any Appraisal Reduction calculated pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Appraisal Reduction”
(other than the proviso contained in such sentence)) allocable to such Class or EC REMIC III Regular Interest. The aggregate Appraisal
Reduction in respect of or allocable to the Mortgage Loans as of any date of determination shall be applied (solely for purposes
of determining the identity of the Controlling Class, whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period or
a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect and, as and to the extent contemplated by the definition of “Voting Rights”,
the allocation of Voting Rights among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates) to notionally reduce the respective
Aggregate Certificate Balances of the various Classes of Principal Balance Certificates and the EC REMIC III Regular Interests
in the following order of priority: 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 REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, to the Class C Certificates and
the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest,
respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest); seventh, to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly,
to the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class
B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest); eighth, to the Class A-S REMIC III
Regular Interest (and correspondingly, to the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on
the Class A-S Percentage Interest and the Class A-S-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest);
and finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class
A-SB Certificates, (iv) Class A-3 Certificates and (v) Class A-4 Certificates based on their respective Aggregate Certificate Balances
(provided in each case that no Aggregate Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below
zero). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction calculated for the purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling Class,
the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as-is” basis. If all or any portion
of an Appraisal Reduction ceases to exist as of any date of determination, then such Appraisal Reduction or applicable portion
thereof shall no longer thereafter be applied in accordance with the foregoing two (2) sentences to notionally reduce the
Aggregate Certificate Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest, and (consistent
with the foregoing) the Aggregate Certificate Balances of the applicable Classes of Principal Balance Certificates, the Class A-S
REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class
PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class A-S Percentage Interest and the Class A-S-PST Percentage Interest, respectively,
in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest), the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate
Balance of the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage Interest and
the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest) and the Class C REMIC III Regular
Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro
rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC
III Regular

Interest) shall be notionally restored to the extent such Appraisal Reduction or portion thereof ceases to exist.


 


Any Appraisal Reduction
with respect to an A/B Whole Loan shall be allocated to notionally reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Serviced
B Note prior to any allocation to the related A Note.


 


Any Appraisal Reduction
with respect to a Loan Pair shall be allocated between the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan on a pro rata
basis by Unpaid Principal Balance.


 


The Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Special Servicer notice of the occurrence of an Appraisal Event promptly following the Master Servicer’s knowledge
of the occurrence thereof, and the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer notice of the occurrence of an Appraisal
Event promptly following the Special Servicer’s knowledge of the occurrence thereof. With respect to any Loan Pair, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to any related Other Master Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee (i) notice of the occurrence
of any Appraisal Event in respect of such Loan Pair promptly following its knowledge, or receipt of notice from the Special Servicer,
of the occurrence thereof and (ii) a statement of any Appraisal Reduction in respect of such Loan Pair promptly following its receipt
from the Special Servicer of the calculation or recalculation thereof.


 


The Holders of the majority
(based on Certificate Balance) of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates the Aggregate Certificate Balance of which has been
reduced to less than 25% of the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance thereof as a result of an allocation of Appraisal Reductions
in respect of such Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) shall have the right, at their sole expense,
to present to the Special Servicer a second (2nd) Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property securing any Required Appraisal
Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”) prepared by an Independent
MAI appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Upon receipt of such second (2nd) Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such second (2nd) Appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable
Appraisal Reduction is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction based upon such second (2nd) Appraisal.
Any Appraised-Out Class(es) (together with any other Classes of Control Eligible Certificates affected by such Appraisal Reduction)
shall have the related Aggregate Certificate Balance(s) notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the
Appraisal Reduction, and there will be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period
or a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect, as applicable. The right of any Appraised-Out Class to present a second (2nd) Appraisal
in connection with any Required Appraisal Loan is limited to one Appraisal with respect to each Mortgaged Property relating to
such Required Appraisal Loan.


 


In addition, if subsequent
to a Class of Control Eligible Certificates becoming an Appraised-Out Class there is a material change with respect to any of the
Mortgaged Properties related to the Appraisal Reduction that caused such Class to become an Appraised-Out Class, the applicable
Requesting Holders shall have the right (except in the case of a Non-Serviced


 



    	214



    	 



    




 


Mortgage Loan), at their sole expense, to present
to the Special Servicer an additional Appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable
to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that there has been a change with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and such
change was material, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment
of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable Appraisal Reduction is warranted and, if so warranted, shall
recalculate such Appraisal Reduction based upon such additional Appraisal. Any Appraised-Out Class(es) (together with any other
Classes of Control Eligible Certificates affected by such Appraisal Reduction) shall have the related Aggregate Certificate Balance(s)
notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction, and there shall be a redetermination
of whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect, as
applicable. With respect to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates, the right to present the Special Servicer with additional
Appraisals as provided in this paragraph is limited to no more frequently than once in any 12-month period.


 


Appraisals that are permitted
to be presented by any Appraised-Out Class will be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required
to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard upon the occurrence of such material change or that the Special Servicer is
otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Requesting Holder.


 


Any Appraised-Out Class
shall not be entitled to exercise any rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the
Controlling Class; and the rights of the Controlling Class will be exercised by the Holders of the next most senior Class of Control
Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any.


 


Copies of all Appraisals
and other Third Party Reports obtained pursuant to this Agreement by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer with respect to
any Mortgaged Property shall be delivered (in electronic format or hard copy) to the other such servicer and to the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator (in electronic format), the 17g-5 Information Provider (in electronic format) and the Trust Advisor.


 


Section 6.10     Prepayment
Premiums. Any Prepayment Premium collected with respect to a Mortgage Loan (but not a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion
Loan, which Prepayment Premium is payable to the holder of the related Serviced B Note or the related Serviced Companion Loan,
as applicable) during any particular Collection Period shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator on the following
Distribution Date as follows:


 


(i)          The
respective Classes of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class D Certificates and the EC REMIC
III Regular Interests (and correspondingly, the applicable Exchangeable Certificates) then entitled to distributions of principal
from the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date will be entitled to, and the Certificate Administrator on behalf
of the Trustee will pay to such Classes and EC REMIC III Regular Interests, an amount equal to, in the case of each such Class
or EC REMIC III Regular Interest, the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount


 



    	215



    	 



    




 


distributed as principal
to that Class or EC REMIC III Regular Interest on that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed
as principal to the Holders of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and EC
REMIC III Regular Interests on that Distribution Date, multiplied by (B) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal
Prepayment and that Class or EC REMIC III Regular Interest, multiplied by (C) the amount of the Prepayment Premium collected
in respect of such Principal Prepayment during the related Collection Period.


 


(ii)         Any
portion of any such Prepayment Premium that is not so distributed to any of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class
A-4 or Class D Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interests (and correspondingly, the applicable Exchangeable Certificates) in
accordance with the immediately preceding clause (i) distributed (the applicable “Class X YM Distribution
Amount”) will be distributed to the Holders of the respective Classes of the Class X Certificates as follows: first,
to the Holders of the Class X-A Certificates in an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total amount distributed as principal with respect to the Class A Senior Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date, and
the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
(other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and EC REMIC III Regular Interests on the applicable Distribution Date, multiplied by
(B) the applicable Class X YM Distribution Amount; second, to the Holders of the Class X-B Certificates in an amount equal
to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to the Class
A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Component A-S) on the applicable
Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to all Classes of Principal
Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and EC REMIC III Regular Interests on the applicable Distribution
Date, multiplied by (B) the applicable Class X YM Distribution Amount; third, to the Holders of the Class X-FG Certificates
in an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect
to the Class F and Class G Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed
as principal with respect to all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and EC REMIC
III Regular Interests on the applicable Distribution Date, multiplied by (B) the applicable Class X YM Distribution Amount; and
then, to the Holders of the Class X-H Certificates in an amount equal to any portion of the applicable Class X YM Distribution
Amount remaining after the foregoing distributions to the Holders of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-FG Certificates.


 


All distributions of
Prepayment Premiums, if any, made with respect to a Class of Class X Certificates on any Distribution Date, pursuant to this
Section 6.10, shall be made, and shall be deemed to have been made, in respect of the various Class X REMIC III
Regular Interests that relate to the subject Class of Class X Certificates, pro rata in accordance with the respective
amounts by which the Notional Amounts of such Class X REMIC III Regular Interests declined on such Distribution Date.


 


On each Distribution
Date, all Prepayment Premiums, if any, distributed on the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant
to this Section 6.10 shall be further distributed by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to the


 



    	216



    	 



    




 


Holders
of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class A-S Percentage Interest and the
Class A-S-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest. On each Distribution Date, all Prepayment
Premiums, if any, distributed on the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 6.10
shall be further distributed by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to the Holders of the Class B Certificates
and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest,
respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest. On each Distribution Date, all Prepayment Premiums, if any, distributed
on the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be further distributed
by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to the Holders of the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates,
pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C
REMIC III Regular Interest.


 


Section 6.11          Allocation
of Trust Advisor Expenses.


 


(a)           On
each Distribution Date, immediately prior to the distributions to be made to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 6.5(a), the Certificate Administrator shall allocate Trust Advisor Expenses to reduce the Distributable
Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date for the Class D Certificates, the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly,
the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class
C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) and the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest
(and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage
Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest), in that order, in each
case, until the Distributable Certificate Interest of such Class for such Distribution Date has been reduced to zero. Trust Advisor
Expenses shall not be allocated to reduce interest distributable to the Class A Senior Certificates, the Class A-S REMIC III
Regular Interest (or, correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates or the Class PST Component A-S), the Class X Certificates,
the Class V Certificates (with respect to Excess Interest), the Control Eligible Certificates or any Serviced B Note or Serviced
Companion Loan.


 


To the extent that the
amount of Trust Advisor Expenses that are payable with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than the aggregate amount of
Distributable Certificate Interest otherwise distributable on the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest, the Class C REMIC III Regular
Interest and the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, the resulting Excess Trust Advisor Expenses shall reduce
the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise allocable to (i) the Principal Balance Certificates (other
than Exchangeable Certificates) that are not Control Eligible Certificates and (ii) the EC REMIC III Regular Interests. In addition,
such Excess Trust Advisor Expenses shall be allocated to reduce the Aggregate Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of
Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) that are not Control Eligible Certificates, the Certificate
Balance of the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-S and
Class PST Certificates, pro rata as set forth below), the Certificate Balance of the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest
(and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class B and Class PST Certificates, pro rata as set forth


 



    	217



    	 



    




 


below) and the Certificate Balance of the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance
of the Class C and Class PST Certificates, pro rata as set forth below) up to the aggregate amount of such reduction of
the Principal Distribution Amount in the following order: first, to the Class D Certificates, until the remaining Aggregate
Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, second, to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest
(and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage
Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) until the Certificate
Balance of the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, third, to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest
(and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage
Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest) until the Certificate
Balance of the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest
(and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class A-S Percentage
Interest and the Class A-S-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest) until the Certificate
Balance of the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; and then, among the respective Classes of
Class A Senior Certificates, pro rata (based upon their respective Aggregate Certificate Balances), until the
remaining Aggregate Certificate Balances of the Class A Senior Certificates have been reduced to zero.


 


Any Trust Advisor Expenses
(including Excess Trust Advisor Expenses) allocated to a Class of Certificates (including any of the Exchangeable Certificates
following the prior corresponding allocation to the related EC REMIC III Regular Interest) shall be allocated among the respective
Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by such Certificates. Any Trust Advisor Expenses
remaining unreimbursed after the allocations set forth in the preceding paragraphs shall remain unreimbursed until the next Distribution
Date that such applicable amounts are available. In no event shall any Trust Advisor Expenses (including Excess Trust Advisor Expenses)
reduce or delay any principal or interest payable in respect of the Class V Certificates (with respect to Excess Interest) or the
Control Eligible Certificates.


 


(b)           On
any Distribution Date, the amount reimbursable to the Trust Advisor in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses for such Distribution
Date shall not exceed the sum of (i) the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise
distributable to the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control Eligible Certificates and (ii) the aggregate amount
of Distributable Certificate Interest (for such purposes, calculated without regard to any reductions therein as a result of Trust
Advisor Expenses for such Distribution Date) that would otherwise be distributable to the Class B, Class PST (in respect of Class
PST Component B or Class PST Component C), Class C and Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date. Any amount of Trust
Advisor Expenses that are not reimbursed on a Distribution Date shall be payable on the next Distribution Date to the extent funds
are sufficient, in accordance with this Section 6.11(b), to make such payments.


 


(c)           To
the extent any Actual Recoveries of Trust Advisor Expenses are received during any Collection Period, such amounts shall be allocated
first, as an increase in the Aggregate Certificate Balance of each applicable Class of Principal Balance Certificates or EC


 



    	218



    	 



    




 


REMIC
III Regular Interest in the reverse order in which the Excess Trust Advisor Expenses were allocated in reduction of the Aggregate
Certificate Balance of the Class A Senior Certificates, the Class D Certificates and/or any EC REMIC III Regular Interest pursuant
to Section 6.11(a), with a corresponding increase in the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution
Date in the aggregate amount of such increases to such Aggregate Certificate Balances and then, as an increase in the Distributable
Certificate Interest for the related Distribution Date in respect of the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly,
the portions thereof distributable on the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class
B Percentage Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest), Class
C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the portions thereof distributable on the Class C Certificates and the Class
PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively,
in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) and Class D Certificates, in that order, in each case, up to an amount equal to the
aggregate reduction of the subject Class’s or EC REMIC III Regular Interest’s Distributable Certificate Interest for
all prior Distribution Dates (including as payment to a more senior Class of Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest in respect
of interest shortfalls created by previously allocated Trust Advisor Expenses), to the extent not previously reimbursed.


 


On each Distribution
Date, if and to the extent that Trust Advisor Expenses have been allocated to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest on any prior
Distribution Date in reduction of the Distributable Certificate Interest for such EC REMIC III Regular Interest, and such reductions
in Distributable Certificate Interest for such EC REMIC III Regular Interest have not been previously reimbursed, then the Class
B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based
on the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest)
will be entitled to reimbursement for the Trust Advisor Expense Interest Shortfall in respect of the Class B REMIC III Regular
Interest for such Distribution Date (with a corresponding increase in the Distributable Certificate Interest with respect to the
Class B REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date): first, out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest
to the Holders of the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, up to (and with a corresponding reduction in) the Distributable
Certificate Interest with respect to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date (calculated for purposes of this
paragraph without regard to clause (A)(3) of the definition of “Distributable Certificate Interest”); and
second, out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly,
the portions thereof distributable on the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class
C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) for such
Distribution Date, up to (and with a corresponding reduction in) the Distributable Certificate Interest with respect to the Class
C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the portions thereof distributable on the Class C Certificates and the Class
PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively,
in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) for such Distribution Date (calculated for purposes of this paragraph without regard
to clause (A)(3) of the definition of “Distributable Certificate Interest”).


 



    	219



    	 



    




 


 


On each Distribution
Date, if and to the extent that Trust Advisor Expenses have been allocated to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest on any prior
Distribution Date in reduction of the Distributable Certificate Interest for such EC REMIC III Regular Interest, and such reductions
in Distributable Certificate Interest for such EC REMIC III Regular Interest have not been previously reimbursed, then the Class
C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based
on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest)
will be entitled to reimbursement for the Trust Advisor Expense Interest Shortfall in respect of the Class C REMIC III Regular
Interest for such Distribution Date (with a corresponding increase in the Distributable Certificate Interest with respect to the
Class C REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date) out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest to the Holders
of the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, up to (and with a corresponding reduction in) the Distributable Certificate
Interest with respect to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date (calculated for purposes of this paragraph without
regard to clause (A)(3) of the definition of “Distributable Certificate Interest”), reduced by any reimbursement
made on such Distribution Date to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest pursuant to the prior paragraph out of amounts otherwise
distributable as interest to the Holders of the Class D Certificates.


 


Any reimbursement made
out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest or the Class D Certificates on
any Distribution Date pursuant to any of the prior two (2) paragraphs, shall be deemed an allocation to such Class or EC REMIC
III Regular Interest of the Trust Advisor Expenses being reimbursed to the Holders of a more senior Class of Certificates or the
applicable EC REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Holders of the related Classes of Exchangeable Certificates).


 


(d)           On
each Distribution Date, if any Trust Advisor Expense is allocated to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest, the Class C REMIC
III Regular Interest or the Class D Certificates in reduction of the Distributable Certificate Interest of such Class of Certificates
or EC REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, then such Trust Advisor Expense will be deemed allocated to the Corresponding
REMIC II Regular Interest in reduction of the Distributable Interest of such Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest
for such Distribution Date. In addition, on each Distribution Date, if any Excess Trust Advisor Expense is allocated to the Class
A Senior Certificates, an EC REMIC III Regular Interest or the Class D Certificates in reduction of the Aggregate Certificate
Balance of such Class of Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest, then such Excess Trust Advisor Expense will be deemed allocated
to the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest in reduction of the REMIC II Principal Amount of such Corresponding REMIC II
Regular Interest.


 


(e)           For
the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and
agrees (and each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of such Certificate, is deemed to acknowledge and agree) that all calculations
to be made hereunder in respect of the entitlement of the Control Eligible Certificates to receive interest, principal and other
amounts (including P&I Advances in respect to such Certificates) shall be made such that (i) the Control Eligible Certificates
shall be paid the amounts to which they are entitled on each Distribution Date as if no Trust Advisor Expenses had been incurred,
reimbursed or reimbursable, and (ii) in no event shall any Trust Advisor Expenses reduce or


 



    	220



    	 



    




 


delay in any manner any principal,
interest or other amounts (including P&I Advances) payable or reimbursable to the Control Eligible Certificates.

by giving written notice thereof to the other such party, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor, each holder of
a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan and the 17g-5 Information Provider; provided that such resignation shall not
be effective until its successor shall have accepted the appointment. The Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator,
as applicable, shall bear all costs associated with its respective resignation and the appointment of a successor trustee, custodian
or certificate administrator, as applicable. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor


 



    	227



    	 



    




 


shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator, as the case may be, except in the case of the initial Trustee and Certificate
Administrator, in which case both shall be so replaced but may be replaced under this paragraph sequentially, by written instrument,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee, one copy to the successor trustee and one copy to each
of the Master Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 5.7, the Rating Agencies.
If no successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed, as the case may be, and shall have
accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee, Custodian
or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee, custodian or certificate administrator, as the case may be. It shall be a condition to the appointment of a successor
trustee, custodian or certificate administrator that such entity satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 7.5
and if, and for so long as, the Trust or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant to an Other Companion
Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, such appointment shall have
been consented to by the Depositor or the depositor under the Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case
may be (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).


 


(b)          If
at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5(a) and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
(iii) a tax is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool by any state in which the Trustee or the
Trust held by the Trustee is located solely because of the location of the Trustee in such state; provided, that, if the
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it shall not be removed pursuant to this clause (iii), or (iv) the
continuation of the Trustee as such would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating by the Rating Agencies
of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies, then the Depositor may remove such Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed,
one copy to the successor trustee and one copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate
Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. In the case of removal under clauses (i), (ii), (iii)

requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Trustee or any Additional Servicer, Sub-Servicer, or Servicing Function Participant engaged
by the Trustee fails to perform (subject to any applicable grace periods set forth therein) any of its obligations under Article
XIII of this Agreement, and such failure to perform does not result from a failure to perform of any other party to this Agreement
to deliver within the time frames required by Article XIII any reports or other information as set forth in such Article
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall, if so requested by the Depositor, resign from its obligations hereunder within sixty (60) calendar
days of such request and, if the Trustee fails to resign within such sixty (60) day period, the Depositor shall have the right
to remove and replace the Trustee in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 7.6(b).

or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Custodian or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Custodian or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or liquidation, (iii) a tax is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool by any state in which the
Custodian or the Trust is located solely because of the location of the Custodian in such state; provided, that, if the
Custodian agrees to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it shall not be removed pursuant to this clause (iii), or (iv) the
continuation of the Custodian as such would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating by the Rating Agencies
of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies, then the Depositor may remove such Custodian
and appoint a successor custodian by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Custodian so removed,
one copy to the successor custodian and one copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. In the case of removal under clauses (i), (ii), (iii)

reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Custodian or any Additional Servicer, Sub-Servicer, or Servicing Function Participant
engaged by the Custodian fails to perform (subject to any applicable grace periods set forth therein) any of its obligations under
Article XIII of this Agreement, and such default does not result from a failure to perform of any other party to this Agreement
to deliver within the time frames required by Article XIII any reports or other information as set forth in such Article
to the Custodian, the Custodian shall, if so requested by the Depositor, resign from its obligations hereunder within sixty (60)

at any time (i) the Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5(c)
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Certificate Administrator or of its property
shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Certificate Administrator or of its property or affairs
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) a tax is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust
or any REMIC Pool by any state in which the Certificate Administrator or the Trust is located solely because of the location of
the Certificate Administrator in such state; provided, that, if the Certificate Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust
for such taxes, it shall not be removed pursuant to this clause (iii), or (iv) the continuation of the Certificate
Administrator as such would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal, as applicable, of the rating by any Rating Agency
of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies, then the Depositor or the Trustee shall
send a written notice of termination to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which notice shall specify
the reason for such termination) and remove such Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall appoint a successor Certificate
Administrator by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator so removed,
one copy to the successor Certificate


 



    	229

and the 17g-5 Information Provider. In all such cases, the Certificate Administrator shall bear all costs of transfer to a successor
Certificate Administrator, such succession only to take effect after a successor Certificate Administrator has been appointed.
If the Trust, or any Other Securitization that holds a Serviced Companion Loan, is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, and the Certificate Administrator or any Additional Servicer, Sub-Servicer, or Servicing Function Participant engaged
by the Certificate Administrator fails to perform (subject to any applicable grace periods set forth therein) any of its obligations
under Article XIII of this Agreement, and such failure to perform does not result from a default of any other party to this
Agreement to deliver within the time frames required by Article XIII any reports or other information as set forth in such
Article to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall, if so requested by the Depositor, resign from its
obligations hereunder within sixty (60) calendar days of such request and, if the Certificate Administrator fails to resign within
such sixty (60) day period, the Depositor shall have the right to remove and replace the Certificate Administrator in accordance
with the provisions set forth in this Section 7.6(d).

as the case may be, by such written instrument, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor and one copy to the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as
the case may be, so removed; and the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee, the Custodian
or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section.


 


(f)           Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, and appointment of a
successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective
upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator, as the case may be, as provided
in Section 7.7. Upon any succession of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement,
the predecessor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the payment of compensation
and reimbursement agreed to under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred. The Trustee, the Custodian or the
Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any action or omission of any successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator,
as the case may be.


 


(g)          Upon
the resignation, assignment, merger, consolidation, or transfer of the Trustee or its business to a successor, or upon the removal
of the Trustee, the outgoing Trustee at its own expense (without right of reimbursement therefor, except in the case of removal
without cause) shall ensure that, prior to consummation of such transaction or as part of its transfer of duties to any successor
or at such later time as may be consented to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, (A) the original executed Note for
each Mortgage Loan is endorsed (without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied) to the order of the successor,

Certificates, Series 2015-C23 or in blank (or, alternatively, if the original executed Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit
and indemnity with a copy of such Note), and (B) in the case of the other Mortgage Loan documents, are delivered or assigned as
necessary to such successor, and such successor shall review the documents delivered to it or the Custodian with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, and certify in writing that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement, such endorsement and assignment
has been made.


 


Upon the resignation,
assignment, merger, consolidation, or transfer of the Custodian or its business to a successor, or upon the removal of the Custodian,
the outgoing Custodian, at its own expense (without right of reimbursement therefor, except in the case of removal without cause),
shall ensure that, prior to consummation of such transaction or as part of its transfer of duties to any successor custodian, all
Mortgage Loan documents in the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, are delivered as necessary to such successor custodian, and
such successor shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Mortgage Loan and certify in writing that, as to
each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement, it will accept delivery of the Mortgage File (on behalf of the Trustee) in accordance

(h)          Following
the Closing Date, for so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant to an
Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, neither the
Certificate Administrator nor the Custodian may appoint any sub-servicer that is or could become a Reporting Servicer without the
prior written consent of the Depositor or the depositor with respect to the trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 


Section 7.7          Successor
Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator.


 


(a)          Any
successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator appointed as provided in Section 7.6 shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate
Administrator, as the case may be, shall become effective and such successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator, as
the case may be, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator
herein. The predecessor Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian shall deliver (at such predecessor’s own expense)
to the successor trustee, certificate administrator or custodian all Mortgage Files and documents and statements related to the
Mortgage Files held by it hereunder, and the predecessor Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian shall duly assign, transfer,
deliver and pay over (at such predecessor’s own expense) to the successor trustee, certificate administrator or custodian,
the entire Trust, together with all instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed necessary to effect
such transfer. The predecessor Trustee, the Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall also deliver all
records or copies thereof maintained by the predecessor Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator in the administration hereof
as may be reasonably requested by the successor trustee, custodian or


 



    	231



    	 



    




 


certificate administrator, as applicable, and shall thereupon
be discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee,
Custodian or Certificate Administrator shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator, as the
case may be, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall
the combined fees payable to the Certificate Administrator or a successor certificate administrator (inclusive of fees paid to
the Trustee (or successor trustee) and the Custodian (or successor custodian)) exceed the Certificate Administrator Fee.


 


(b)          No
successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time
of such appointment such successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator, as the case may be, shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 7.5.


 


(c)          Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator as provided in this Section, the successor
trustee, custodian or certificate administrator shall promptly provide written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider and mail
notice of the succession of such Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their
addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each holder of a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan. The expenses
of such mailing shall be borne by the successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator. If the successor trustee, custodian
or certificate administrator fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, custodian or certificate administrator, the Master Servicer shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
successor trustee, custodian or certificate administrator, as applicable.


 


Section 7.8     Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator. Any Person into which the Trustee, Custodian or Certificate
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which such Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator shall be a party, or any Persons succeeding to
the corporate trust business of such Trustee, Custodian or Certificate Administrator, shall be the successor of such Trustee,
Custodian or Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder, as applicable, provided that (i) such Person
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.5 and (ii) if, and for so long as, the Trust, or, with respect
to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is subject
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, such appointment shall have been consented to by the Depositor or the depositor
under such Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. The successor or surviving Person shall provide prompt notice of the merger or consolidation to the
other parties hereto and the 17g-5 Information Provider.

Section 7.9     Appointment
of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee, Agents or Custodian.


 


(a)           Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or, in the case of the Trust, the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than a majority of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates shall each have the power from time to time to
appoint one or more Persons to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee or as separate trustees, for the purpose of holding
title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its
principal place of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee is advised by the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state
in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction
or condition in any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust
is located. The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all
the Certificateholders, shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment and
shall be deemed to have accepted the provisions of this Agreement; provided that no such appointment shall, or shall be
deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee; provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be liable
for the actions of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by it with due care and shall have no liability for the actions
of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by the Depositor or the Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph.


 


(b)           The
Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may from time to time appoint one or more independent
third-party agents to perform all or any portion of its administrative duties hereunder (i.e., collection and distribution
of funds, preparation and dissemination of reports, monitoring compliance, etc.). The Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate
Administrator, as the case may be, shall supervise and oversee such agents appointed by it. The terms of any arrangement or agreement
between the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, and such agent, may be terminated, without
cause and without the payment of any termination fees if the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case
may be, is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, neither the Trust nor the Certificateholders shall have any
liability or direct obligation to such agent. Notwithstanding the terms of any such agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian or the
Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall remain at all times obligated and liable to the Trust and the Certificateholders
for performing its duties hereunder and for all acts of its agents.


 


(c)           Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions
and conditions:


 


(i)          all
powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall
be exercised solely by the Trustee;


 


(ii)         all
other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the


 



    	233



    	 



    




 


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 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;


 


(iii)        no
trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and


 


(iv)        the
Trustee or, in the case of the Trust, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Voting Rights of all
the Certificates may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, so appointed by it or
them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.


 


(d)           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 VII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly
with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including
every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.


 


(e)           Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name.
If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties,
rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment
of a new or successor trustee.


 


(f)            No
separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 7.5
hereof and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be required.


 


(g)           The
Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the Trustee’s obligations hereunder.


 


(h)           The
reasonable compensation of the co-trustees or separate trustees appointed shall be paid by the Trust pursuant to this Section 7.9
to the extent, and in accordance with the standards, specified in Section 7.12 hereof.


 


Section 7.10     Authenticating
Agents.


 


(a)           The
Certificate Administrator shall serve as the initial Authenticating Agent hereunder for the purpose of executing and authenticating
Certificates. Any successor


 



    	234



    	 



    




 


Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must be a corporation, national bank or
national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state and having
a principal office and place of business in the Borough of Manhattan in the City and State of New York, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities.


 


(b)           Any
Person into which the 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 the Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
corporate agency business of the Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.


 


(c)           The
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of resignation
to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency
of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent and the Depositor; provided
that the Trustee may not terminate the Certificate Administrator as Authenticating Agent unless the Certificate Administrator shall
be removed as Certificate Administrator hereunder. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case
at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10(a),
the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall
mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No such Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of Section 7.10(a). No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.


 


Section 7.11     Indemnification
of Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.


 


(a)           The
Trustee (whether individually, or in its capacity as Trustee), the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator
and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Controlling Persons shall be entitled to indemnification
from the Trust for any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other
costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on their respective part, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans, the Certificates
and the acceptance or administration of the trusts or duties created hereunder (including, without limitation, any unanticipated
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trust Advisor or the Depositor or of each other such Person hereunder but only to the extent the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate
Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is unable to recover within a reasonable period of time such amount
from such third party pursuant to this


 



    	235



    	 



    




 


Agreement) including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, and the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate
Registrar and the Certificate Administrator and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Controlling
Persons shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any unanticipated loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct in connection with the provision by the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and the
Certificate Administrator of the reports required to be provided by it pursuant to this Agreement; provided that:


 


(i)          with
respect to any such claim, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case
may be, shall have given the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sellers, each other and the Holders of the Certificates written
notice thereof promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate
Administrator, as the case may be, shall have actual knowledge thereof; provided that failure to give such notice to the
Depositor, Master Servicer, the Sellers, each other and the Holders of Certificates shall not affect the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s,
Certificate Registrar’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as the case may be, rights to indemnification herein unless
the Depositor’s defense of such claim on behalf of the Trust is materially prejudiced thereby;


 


(ii)         while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator,
as the case may be, shall consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and


 


(iii)        notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 7.11, the Trust shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the
Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, entered into without the
prior consent of the Depositor (unless the Depositor is in bankruptcy or otherwise legally unable to consent), which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.


 


(b)           The
provisions of this Section 7.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the
Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be.


 


(c)           The
Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator,
as the case may be, their respective directors, officers, employees or agents and Controlling Persons from and against any loss,
claim, damage or liability, and any action in respect thereof, to which the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or
the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, their respective directors, officers, employees or agents or Controlling Persons
may become subject under the Securities Act, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Private Placement Memorandum, the Preliminary
Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or arises out of, or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and shall
reimburse the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, their respective
directors, officers, employees,


 



    	236



    	 



    




 


agents or Controlling Persons for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee,
the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or any such director, officer, employee,
agent or Controlling Person in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action; provided, that the Depositor shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Private
Placement Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
concerning the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, furnished
to the Depositor by or on behalf of such person specifically for inclusion therein. It is hereby expressly agreed that the only
written information provided by the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the
case may be, for inclusion in the Private Placement Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus is, in the
case of the Trustee, the information for which the Trustee indemnifies certain parties pursuant to the Trustee Indemnification
Agreement, in the case of the Custodian, the information for which the Custodian indemnifies certain parties pursuant to the Custodian
Indemnification Agreement and, in the case of the Certificate Administrator, the information for which the Certificate Administrator
indemnifies certain parties pursuant to the Certificate Administrator Indemnification Agreement. The Trustee, the Custodian, the
Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Depositor, the Underwriters,
the Initial Purchasers and the Sellers if a claim is made by a third party that would entitle such Person, its directors, officers,
employees, agents or Controlling Persons to indemnification under this Section 7.11(c), whereupon the Depositor shall
assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person) and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them
in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Depositor shall not affect any rights the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate
Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents
or Controlling Persons may have to indemnification under this Section 7.11(c), unless the Depositor’s defense
of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator. The Depositor shall not be indemnified
by the Trust for any expenses incurred by the Depositor arising from any violation or alleged violation of the Securities Act or
Exchange Act by the Depositor.


 


(d)          The
Custodian agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and any director, officer, employee,
agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any such Person may sustain arising
from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Custodian’s duties
hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the Custodian’s obligations and duties hereunder (including a breach of
such obligations and duties, a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic advantage from not complying with or not performing
such obligations), and if in any such situation the Custodian is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the amount of such claims,
losses, penalties,


 



    	237



    	 



    




 


fines, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least
equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor custodian.


 


(e)          Each
of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify the Depositor, the Trust, the
Certificate Administrator (in the case of the Trustee), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator), the Custodian
and any director, officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that
any such Person may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance
of any of such indemnifying party’s duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of such indemnifying party’s
obligations and duties hereunder (including a breach of such obligations, a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic
advantage from not complying with or not performing such obligations), and if in any such situation the Trustee or Certificate
Administrator, as applicable, is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the amount of such claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal
fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least equal the incremental costs,
if any, of retaining a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable.


 


Section 7.12     Fees
and Expenses of Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Trustee
Fee, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to receive the Certificate Administrator Fee (other than the portions thereof
constituting the Trustee Fee and the Custodian Fee) and the Custodian shall be entitled to receive the Custodian Fee, pursuant
to Section 5.3(b)(ii) (which shall not be limited by any provision of law with respect to the compensation of a trustee
of an express trust), 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, respectively, hereunder of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator. Each
of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall also be entitled to recover from the Trust all reasonable
unanticipated out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred or made by such party in connection with the exercise of such
party’s rights or duties under this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements
of its counsel and other Persons not regularly in its employ), not including expenses incurred in the ordinary course of performing
its duties (including allocable overhead expenses) as Trustee, the Custodian or Certificate Administrator, respectively, hereunder,
and except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such
Person or which is the responsibility of the Holders of the Certificates hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.12
shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate
Administrator.


 


Section 7.13     Collection
of Moneys. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator
may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the
Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee, the Custodian
or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Trust
and shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement. If the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate


 



    	238



    	 



    




 


Administrator, as the
case may be, shall not have timely received amounts to be remitted with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall request the Master Servicer to make such
distribution as promptly as practicable or legally permitted. If the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator,
as the case may be, shall subsequently receive any such amount, it may withdraw such request.


 


Section 7.14     Trustee
To Act; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)           On
and after the time the Master Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to this Agreement, and if no successor to the terminated
or resigning Master Servicer is otherwise appointed hereunder, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have all the rights
and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on
the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that, any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide required information shall not be considered a default
by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no liability relating to (i) the representations and warranties
of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement or (ii) any obligation incurred by the Master Servicer prior to its termination
or resignation (including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligation to repay losses resulting from the investment
of funds in any account established under this Agreement). In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall
have the same limitations on liability granted to the Master Servicer in this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive all the compensation payable to the Master Servicer set forth in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Master Servicing Fee.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee (A) may, if the Trustee is unwilling to so act, or (B) shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint,
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established commercial or multifamily mortgage finance institution,
servicer or master servicer or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, meeting such other
standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement and with respect to which the Trustee has provided
a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a servicer as Master Servicer hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee
shall act as the Master Servicer as hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the Trustee as successor Master Servicer may
be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided that, such Affiliate must meet the standards for the Master Servicer as set forth
herein. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree subject to Section 8.10, provided
that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to be paid to the Master Servicer under this Agreement. The Trustee
and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s
responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the
servicing function and providing the Trustee and successor servicer all documents and


 



    	239



    	 



    




 


records in its possession in electronic or
other form reasonably requested by the successor servicer to enable the successor servicer to assume the Master Servicer’s
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor servicer of all amounts which shall at the time be or should
have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the
Certificates or thereafter be received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other
successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering,
cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master
Servicer. The Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining
such successor Master Servicer within thirty (30) days of the Trustee’s submission of an invoice with respect thereto,
to the extent such expenses have not been reimbursed by the Master Servicer as provided herein; and such expenses paid by the Trust
shall be deemed to be an Additional Trust Expense.


 


(c)          On
and after the time the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with Section 9.30,
or resigns pursuant to this Agreement, and if a successor to the terminated or resigning Special Servicer is not otherwise appointed
hereunder, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Special Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and
the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Special Servicer by the terms and provisions of this
Agreement; provided that, any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Special Servicer’s
failure to provide required information shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall
have no liability relating to (i) the representations and warranties of the Special Servicer contained in this Agreement or
(ii) any obligation incurred by the Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation. In the Trustee’s capacity
as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability granted to the Special Servicer in this Agreement.
As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all the compensation payable to the Special Servicer set forth
in this Agreement, including, without limitation the Special Servicer Compensation (other than any Workout Fee payable to the predecessor
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.11).


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee may, if the Trustee shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition
a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established commercial or multifamily mortgage finance institution, special servicer
or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, and meeting such other standards for a successor
Special Servicer as are set forth in Section 9.30(g), and with respect to which the Trustee has provided a Rating Agency
Communication to each Rating Agency, as the successor to the Special Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all of the responsibilities,
duties or liabilities of a special servicer as Special Servicer hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee shall act
as the Special Servicer as hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the Trustee as successor Special Servicer may be an Affiliate
of the Trustee; provided that, such Affiliate must meet the standards for a successor Special Servicer set forth herein.
In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor


 



    	240



    	 



    

 





out
of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess
of that permitted to the Special Servicer under this Agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent
with this Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee
and any successor Special Servicer in effecting the termination of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors under Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans of the assignment
of the special servicing function and providing the Trustee and successor Special Servicer all documents and records in its possession
in electronic or other form reasonably requested by the successor Special Servicer to enable the successor Special Servicer to
assume the Special Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor Special Servicer of
all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Special Servicer in the Collection Account and any
other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received by the Special Servicer with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder
by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the
failure of the Special Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions
imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Special Servicer. The Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust
for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such successor Special Servicer within thirty (30) days
of submission of an invoice with respect thereto but only to the extent such expenses have not been reimbursed by the Special
Servicer as provided herein; and such expenses paid by the Trust shall be deemed to be an Additional Trust Expense. During any
Subordinate Control Period, any appointment of a successor Special Servicer by the Trustee (or the Trustee’s acting as successor
Special Servicer) shall be subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to terminate and replace such successor
Special Servicer, with or without cause, in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 9.30).

Section
8.1     Servicing Standard; Servicing Duties.


 


(a)          Subject
to the express provisions of this Agreement, for and on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders as a
whole, and, solely as it relates to any A/B Whole Loan, for the benefit of the holder of the related Serviced B Note and, solely
as it relates to any Loan Pair, for the benefit of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer (except
as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary) shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced B Note
and any Serviced Companion Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement; provided, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall process all Major Decisions and Special Servicer Decisions
with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), any Serviced B Note and any Serviced Companion Loan
(except that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process, and obtain
the prior written consent of the Special Servicer with respect to, any such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision with respect
to Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans); provided, further,
that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Certain of the provisions of this Article VIII make explicit reference to their applicability to Mortgage Loans, any
Serviced B Note and any Serviced Companion Loan; notwithstanding such explicit references, references to “Mortgage Loans”
contained in this Article VIII, unless otherwise specified, shall be construed to refer also to such Serviced B Note and
Serviced Companion Loan (but any other terms that are defined in Article I and used in this Article VIII shall be construed
according to such definitions without regard to this sentence).


 


In
connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely collection of principal
and interest on the Mortgage Notes in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders as a whole (or, in the case of any
A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Serviced B Note and/or Serviced Companion Loan,
as applicable, all taken as a collective whole); provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express
or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer of the collectability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or shall be construed as impairing
or adversely affecting any rights or benefits specifically provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer, including with respect
to Master Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances.


 


(b)          The
Master Servicer, in the case of an event specified in clause (x) of this subsection (b), and the Special
Servicer, in the case of an event specified in clause (y) of this subsection (b), shall each send a written
notice to the other and to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (during
any Subordinate Control


 






    	245

Period), the Depositor, the applicable Seller and, in the case of an A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced B Note
and, in the case of a Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, within five (5) Business Days after becoming
aware (x) that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to a Mortgage Loan or (y) that a Mortgage Loan has
become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of an A Note (or Serviced B Note) that was a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, any related Serviced B Note (or A Note) has also become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan and, in the case of a Serviced
Pari Passu Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Companion Loan) that was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, its related Serviced Companion
Loan (or Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan) has also become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, which notice shall be effective upon
receipt and shall identify the applicable Mortgage Loan and, in the case of an event specified in clause (x) of this
subsection (b), the Servicing Transfer Event that occurred. After the transfer of servicing with respect to any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall notify, in
writing, the Mortgagor under such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan transferred to the Special Servicer, of such transfer.


 


(c)          With
respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy,
for as long as it is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise
to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the
Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of
such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled
thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with
any such claim shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance.


 


(d)          In
connection with any extension of the Maturity Date of a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan), the Special Servicer shall give prompt written notice of such extension to the insurer under the Environmental Insurance
Policy (if any) and shall execute such documents as are reasonably required by such insurer to procure an extension of such policy
(if available). The Special Servicer shall provide copies of any such notice or documents to the Master Servicer promptly following
the execution or delivery thereof, as applicable.


 


(e)          The
parties hereto acknowledge that each Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and its related Serviced Companion Loan and each A Note
and its related Serviced B Note is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement, and each such party
agrees that the provisions of each Intercreditor Agreement that are required by their terms to be set forth in this Agreement
are hereby incorporated herein. With respect to each Loan Pair and each A/B Whole Loan, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust and the holders of each Serviced Companion Loan
and/or Serviced B Note, as applicable, under the related Intercreditor Agreement (or with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated
as a Loan Pair in accordance with Section 8.30 hereof, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents), including with respect
to the allocation of collections on or in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, A Note and


 






    	246



    	 



    

 


Serviced B Note, as the case may be, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer shall comply
with the applicable provisions of each Intercreditor Agreement, and if any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion
Loan, A Note or Serviced B Note are then Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer shall comply with the applicable
provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any conflict between the terms of this Agreement
and the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement shall be resolved in favor of the Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(f)          Promptly
following the Closing Date (or, with respect to the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Companion
Loan Securitization Date), the Master Servicer shall send written notice to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer in
accordance with the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement including payment instructions for distributions on such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and stating that, as of such date, the Trustee is the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan, and directing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and
directing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer 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, such holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement. On the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Companion
Loan Securitization Date, in connection with the transfer of servicing (including transmittal of the foregoing information as
part of that servicing transfer) to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have provided such written notice in respect of the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have provided to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer the notices
described in this clause (f) if it is the same entity as such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer.


 


(g)          Each
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be serviced and administered by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. If any Non-Serviced
Companion Loan that is an asset under the trust created by the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement
is removed from the pool of mortgage loans created under such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or if
such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is otherwise terminated, the servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan shall be transferred, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, and shall be serviced and
administered by a successor servicing agreement, which shall have similar provisions to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling
and Servicing Agreement to the extent set forth in the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, and such transfer
shall be subject to the delivery by the Master Servicer of a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency.


 


Section
8.2     Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy Maintained
by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in


 






    	247

Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. The Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be
issued by a Qualified Insurer (unless the Master Servicer self-insures as provided below) and be in form and amount consistent
with the Servicing Standard. If any such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases to be
in effect, then the Master Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the
requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement. So long as the long-term debt obligation or deposit account rating
of the Master Servicer is not less than “A (low)” as rated by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent (or higher)
rating by at least two other NRSROs (which may include S&P, Fitch and/or Moody’s) (or an A.M. Best equivalent)), not

maintenance, repair, leasing and marketing of the related Mortgaged Properties, including agreements and requests by the Mortgagor
with respect to modifications of the standards of operation and management of the Mortgaged Properties or the replacement of asset
managers, (G) to consent to any operation or action under a Mortgage Loan that is contemplated or permitted under a Mortgage
or other documents evidencing or securing the applicable Mortgage Loan (either as a matter of right or upon satisfaction of specified
conditions), (H) to obtain, release, waive or modify any term other than a Money Term of a Mortgage Loan and related documents
subject to and to the extent permitted by Section 8.18, (I) to exercise all rights, powers and privileges granted
or provided to the holder of the Mortgage Notes, any Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced B Note under the terms of the Mortgage,
including all rights of consent or approval thereunder, subject to Sections 8.7 and 8.18 of this Agreement,
(J) to enter into lease subordination agreements, non-disturbance and attornment agreements or other leasing or rental arrangements
which may be requested by the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s tenants, (K) to join the Mortgagor in granting, modifying
or releasing any easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, equitable servitudes, or land use or zoning requirements with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties to the extent such does not adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged
Property, (L) to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Trust (and the holders of any Serviced B Note
and Serviced Companion Loan) or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties,
and (M) to hold in accordance with the terms of any Mortgage Loan and this Agreement, Defeasance Collateral. The foregoing
clauses (A) through (M) are referred to collectively as “Master Servicer Consent Matters.”
Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer shall have no power to (i) waive any Prepayment Premiums, (ii) consent
to any modification of a Money Term of a Mortgage Loan or (iii) to exercise such rights or take any of the foregoing actions
in violation of Section 10.3 or the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise in contravention
of the Controlling Class Representative’s or any related Loan-Specific Directing Holder’s, as applicable, rights to
consent to or consult in respect of any such matters pursuant to this Agreement (subject to the Master Servicer’s duty to
service in accordance with the Servicing Standard). 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, as applicable, was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby;
provided, that this sentence shall not modify the Servicing Standard.


 


(b)          The
Master Servicer shall not be obligated to service and administer any Mortgage Loan if it has become and continues to be a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, nor shall it be obligated to process Major Decisions or Special Servicer Decisions with respect to the


 






    	249



    	 



    

 


Mortgage Loans, in each case except as specifically provided herein. The Master Servicer shall be required to make all calculations
and prepare all reports required hereunder with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than calculations and reports
expressly required to be made by the Special Servicer hereunder) as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and shall continue
to collect all Scheduled Payments, make Advances as set forth herein and render such incidental services with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, all as are specifically provided for herein, but shall have no other servicing or other duties with respect
to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for its failure to
make the calculations or prepare the reports required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence with respect to any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan if such failure is directly caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to provide the Master Servicer
with the information that it is required to deliver to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.32(a). The Master Servicer
shall give notice within three (3) Business Days to the Special Servicer of any collections it receives from any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, subject to changes agreed upon from time to time by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer. The
Special Servicer shall instruct the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days after receiving such notice on how to apply
such funds. The Master Servicer within one (1) Business Day after receiving such instructions shall apply such funds in accordance
with the Special Servicer’s instructions. Each Mortgage Loan if it becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall continue
as such until it becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall not be required to initiate extraordinary collection
procedures or legal proceedings with respect to any Mortgage Loan or to undertake any pre-foreclosure procedures.


 


(c)          Concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall sign a Power of Attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit O-1 (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer). From time to time until
the termination of the Trust, upon written request from a Servicing Officer for additional powers of attorney from the Trustee
to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and return to the Master Servicer any additional powers of attorney, substantially
in the form of Exhibit O-1 (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer) and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans including, without
limitation, documents relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing or marketing of the Mortgaged Properties.
The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any costs, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred
by the Trustee in connection with the intentional or negligent misuse of such power of attorney by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 9.34 herein, the Master Servicer 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 representative capacity, or (ii) knowingly take any action that causes the Trustee
to be registered to do business in any state, provided that the preceding clause (i) shall not apply to the
initiation of actions relating to a Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer is servicing pursuant to its respective duties herein
(in which case the Master Servicer shall give prompt prior notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action). The limitations
of the preceding clause shall not be construed to limit any duty or obligation imposed on the Trustee under any other provision
of this Agreement.


 






    	250



    	 



    

 


(d)         The
Master Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments
(including servicing fees, special servicing fees, workout fees and liquidation fees) called for under the terms and provisions
of the applicable Mortgage Loans (other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties); provided, that with
respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, such payments shall be collected from the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, as applicable.


 


(e)          The
Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan) constituting Escrow Amounts separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish
and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Amounts
shall be deposited within one (1) Business Day after receipt. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account, to the extent
permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each Escrow Account any amounts
representing losses on Eligible Investments pursuant to the immediately succeeding paragraph and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage
Loan. Each Escrow Account shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan and in accordance
with the Servicing Standard. Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made only for the following purposes (in no order of priority):


 


(i)          to
effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Amounts for the related Mortgage Loan;


 


(ii)         to
transfer funds to the Collection Account (or any sub-account thereof) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Advance (or the
Trust for any Unliquidated Advance) relating to Escrow Amounts, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage
Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Amounts thereunder;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Subject
to the immediately succeeding sentence, (i) the Master Servicer may direct any depository institution or trust company in
which the Escrow Accounts are maintained


 






    	251



    	 



    

 


to invest the funds held therein in one or more Eligible Investments; provided,
that such funds shall be either (x) immediately available or (y) available in accordance with a schedule which will
permit the Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established; (ii) the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to all income and gain realized from any such investment of funds as additional servicing compensation;
and (iii) the Master Servicer shall deposit from its own funds in the applicable Escrow Account the amount of any loss incurred
in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss; provided, that unless otherwise
set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such investment losses shall not include any loss with respect to such investment
which is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depositary institution or trust company
at which such Investment Account is maintained, so long as such depositary institution or trust company (a) satisfied the
qualifications set forth in the definition of “Eligible Account” both at the time such investment was made and as
of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such loss and (b) is not the Person or an Affiliate thereof
that made the relevant investment. The Master Servicer shall not direct the investment of funds held in any Escrow Account and
retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or applicable law permit the Mortgagor
to be entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited therein, and the Master Servicer shall not
be required to invest amounts on deposit in Escrow Accounts in Eligible Investments or deposit such amounts in Eligible Accounts
to the extent that the Master Servicer is required by either law or under the terms of any related Mortgage Loan to deposit or
invest (or the Mortgagor is entitled to direct the deposit or investment of) such amounts in another type of investments or accounts.
If the Master Servicer is not entitled to direct the investment of such funds, then: (1) the Master Servicer shall direct
the depository institution or trust company in which such Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in accordance
with the Mortgagor’s written investment instructions, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or applicable law require
the Master Servicer to invest such funds in accordance with the Mortgagor’s directions; and (2) in the absence of appropriate
written instructions from the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to direct the investment of such funds;
provided, that if such funds shall be either (y) immediately available or (z) available in accordance with a
schedule which will permit the Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established, then
the Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss in investments of such funds that are invested pursuant to written instructions
from the Mortgagor.


 


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


 


(g)         With
respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), if required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan
documents, any Lock-Box Agreement or similar agreement, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, one or more lock-box, cash management or similar accounts (“Lock-Box Accounts”) to be held
outside the Trust and maintained by the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage. No Lock-Box Account
is required to be an Eligible Account, unless otherwise required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer
shall apply the funds deposited in such accounts in accordance with terms


 






    	252



    	 



    

 


of the related Mortgage Loan documents, any Lock-Box
Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.


 


(h)          The
Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced B Notes
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).
The Master Servicer shall not permit defeasance (or partial defeasance if permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents)
of any Mortgage Loan on or before the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, or in the case of a Serviced
Companion Loan the second (2nd) anniversary of the startup date of any REMIC holding such Serviced Companion Loan,
unless such defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (or in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan an adverse REMIC
event for any REMIC holding such Serviced Companion Loan) and the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
(which Opinion of Counsel, to the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, shall be paid for by the related
Mortgagor) and all items in the following sentence have been satisfied. Subsequent to the second (2nd) anniversary
of the Closing Date, or in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan the second (2nd) anniversary of the startup date of
any REMIC holding such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer, in connection with the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan (other
than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), a Serviced B Note or a Serviced Companion Loan shall (to the extent it is not inconsistent
with the Servicing Standard): (i) require that the defeasance collateral consists of Government Securities that are acceptable
as defeasance collateral under the current guidelines of the Rating Agencies, (ii) determine that the defeasance will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event (or in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan an adverse REMIC event for any REMIC holding such
Serviced Companion Loan), (iii) either (A) require that the related Mortgagor designate a Single-Purpose Entity to own
the Defeasance Collateral (subject to customary qualifications) or (B) establish a Single-Purpose Entity to hold all Defeasance
Collateral relating to the Defeasance Loans, (iv) request and receive from the Mortgagor (A) an opinion of counsel that
the Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in such Defeasance Collateral and (B) written confirmation
from a firm of independent accountants stating that payments made on such Defeasance Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof
will be sufficient to pay the subject Mortgage Loan, and if applicable the related Serviced B Note and/or Serviced Companion Loan,
(or the defeased portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) in full on or before its Maturity Date (or, in the case
of an ARD Loan, on or before its Anticipated Repayment Date) and to timely pay each subsequent Scheduled Payment and (v) provide
a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency. Any customary and reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.3(h) shall be paid by the Mortgagor of the Defeasance Loan pursuant to the related
Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other pertinent document, if so allowed by the terms of such documents. Notwithstanding anything herein
or in the related Mortgage Loan documents to the contrary (but subject to the Special Servicer’s right to process any request
with respect to a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision or to consent to the Master Servicer processing such request pursuant
to Section 8.7(f)), the Master Servicer may accept as Defeasance Collateral Government Securities that are rated below
“AAA” (or its equivalent) by any NRSRO notwithstanding any requirements in the related Mortgage Loan documents that
require such Defeasance Collateral to


 






    	253



    	 



    

 


be rated “AAA” (or its equivalent) by the applicable NRSROs; provided,
that, in any case, the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such Defeasance Collateral will not
cause an Adverse REMIC Event (which Opinion of Counsel, to the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents,
shall be paid for by the related Mortgagor).


 


The
parties hereto acknowledge that if the payments described in paragraph 32 of Exhibit 2 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements regarding the obligation of a Mortgagor to pay the reasonable costs and expenses associated with a defeasance of the
related Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Trust, including, but not limited to, rating agency fees, then the sole
obligation of the related Seller shall be to pay an amount equal to such insufficiency or expense to the extent the related Mortgagor
is not required to pay such amount. If any amount is due under the preceding sentence for any Joint Mortgage Loan, then each of
the applicable Sellers shall be required to pay only such party’s pro rate share. Promptly upon receipt of notice of such
insufficiency or unpaid expense, the Master Servicer shall request the related Seller to make such payment by deposit to the Collection
Account.


 


In
the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall process any defeasance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the original terms of the respective Mortgage Loan documents, subject to the Special Servicer’s
right to service Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, manage any related REO Properties and process Major Decisions and Special
Servicer Decisions pursuant to Section 9.1(a) herein.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by MSMCH and subject to defeasance, MSMCH has retained
the right to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower
of the related defeasance collateral (“MSMCH Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). If the Master Servicer
receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan originated or acquired by MSMCH and subject to defeasance,
the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to MSMCH or its assignee.
Until such time as MSMCH provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with MSMCH Defeasance
Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to MSMCH pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, BANA has retained the right of the lender under the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the BANA Loans to receive
a percentage of the economic benefit associated with the ownership of the successor borrower, and the right to designate and establish
the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral,
if there is a defeasance of a BANA Loan (“BANA Lender Successor Borrower Right”). If the Master Servicer receives
notice of a defeasance request with respect to a BANA Loan subject to defeasance, the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt
of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to BANA or its assignee. Until such time as BANA provides written notice
to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a BANA Loan with a BANA Lender Successor Borrower Right shall be delivered to BANA
pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement. In addition, to the extent that the Master Servicer receives any amount in
respect of a BANA Lender Successor Borrower Right that is required to be remitted to BANA pursuant to the related defeasance documents,
the


 






    	254



    	 



    

 


Master Servicer shall remit such amounts to BANA pursuant to the terms of the defeasance documents.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, CIBC has retained the right to establish or designate or approve the successor borrower and to purchase or cause
the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral (“CIBC Lender Successor Borrower
Right”) for all CIBC Loans subject to defeasance other than the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified
as “Town Center at Celebration”, “Parkview Townhomes” and “103 Market Place Drive” on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule.  If the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a CIBC Loan subject
to defeasance (other than the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified as “Town Center at Celebration”,
“Parkview Townhomes” and “103 Market Place Drive” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), the Master Servicer
shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to CIBC or its assignee.  Until such
time as CIBC provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a CIBC Loan with a CIBC Lender Successor Borrower
Right shall be delivered to CIBC pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, SMF III has retained the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase
on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral (“SMF III Lender Successor Borrower Right”)
for all SMF III Loans subject to defeasance.  If the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect
to a SMF III Loan subject to defeasance, the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such
defeasance request to SMF III or its assignee.  Until such time as SMF III provides written notice to the contrary, notice
of a defeasance of a SMF III Loan with a SMF III Lender Successor Borrower Right shall be delivered to SMF III pursuant to the
notice provisions of this Agreement.


 


(i)          The
Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) set forth on Schedule V hereto,
each of which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a ground lease, Space Lease or air rights lease, promptly
(and, in any event, within forty-five (45) days) after the Closing Date (or, if later, ten (10) Business Days after its receipt
of a copy of the related ground lease, Space Lease or air rights lease) notify the related lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage
Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform such lessor that any notices of default under the related ground lease,
Space Lease or air rights lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall promptly forward
any such notices to the Special Servicer.


 


(j)          Subject
to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in this Agreement, (A) the Master Servicer shall be entitled (other
than with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), during any period when (i) the A Note and Serviced B Note under any A/B Whole
Loan, (ii) the Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan under any Loan Pair, and (iii) any Mortgage Loan
with any related mezzanine loan, does not constitute a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and (B) the Special Servicer shall be
entitled (other than with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), during any period when the notes or other obligations listed
in clauses (A)(i) through (iii) above constitute Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, to exercise the rights and powers granted
under the related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement to the “Controlling Note Holder”,
“Note A


 






    	255



    	 



    

 


Holder”, the “Note A Controlling Holder”, the “Senior Lender”, the “Senior Loan
Controlling Holder”, or such other similar term as may be set forth in any such Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine loan
intercreditor agreement, as applicable, and/or the “Servicer” referred to therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the
parties acknowledge that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be entitled or required to exercise the rights
and powers granted to any “Note B Holder” or such other analogous term as may be set forth in any such Intercreditor
Agreement.


 


(k)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities
hereunder and the Master Servicer’s authority with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are limited by and subject
to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to monitor the servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer
and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the Trustee
(as holder of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer shall take such actions as it shall deem reasonably
necessary to facilitate the servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer
and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate Requests
for Release to the Custodian in order to deliver any portion of the related Mortgage File to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Master Servicer or applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.


 


Section
8.4     Sub-Servicing.


 


(a)          The
Master Servicer shall supervise, administer, monitor, enforce and oversee the servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loans by any
sub-servicer appointed by it. Other than with respect to the agreements with any other sub-servicer (including the Seller Sub-Servicer)
under agreements that are in effect on the Closing Date (each a “Surviving Sub-Servicer”), the terms of any
arrangement or agreement between the Master Servicer and a sub-servicer shall provide that such agreement or arrangement may be
terminated, without cause and without the payment of any termination fees, by the Trustee if such Master Servicer is terminated
in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificateholders,
the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or the holder of any Serviced B Note shall have any direct obligation or liability (including,
without limitation, indemnification obligations) with respect to any sub-servicer. The Master Servicer shall be solely responsible
for the payment of compensation to any sub-servicer appointed by it. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of enforcement against
any of its sub-servicers at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting
from such enforcement only to the extent that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in


 






    	256



    	 



    

 


respect of the related Mortgage Loans or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement
is directed. Notwithstanding the provisions of any primary servicing agreement or sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a sub-servicer, or reference to actions
taken through a sub-servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering
of the applicable Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with (and subject to the limitations contained
within) the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of indemnification from
a sub-servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and
administering such Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable. No sub-servicer shall be permitted under any sub-servicing
agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing
remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the Master Servicer, whose consent will be subject to the consent
of the Special Servicer to the extent provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(b)         Subject
to the limitations of subsection (a), the Master Servicer may appoint one or more sub-servicers to perform all or
any portion of its duties hereunder for the benefit of the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificateholders provided that,
after the Closing Date, if and for so long as the Trust or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant
to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the
Master Servicer shall not enter into a sub-servicing agreement with any Prohibited Party.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any sub-servicing agreement with a Sub-Servicer shall provide that (i) the failure of such
Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements of Article XIII of this Agreement, (ii) if
and for so long as the Trust or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into a trust created pursuant
to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such other trust, is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any requirements to deliver any items
required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB under any other pooling and servicing agreement relating to any commercial
mortgage loan securitization or (iii) the status of such Sub-Servicer as a Prohibited Party
at any time during which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, shall each constitute
an event of default by such Sub-Servicer under such sub-servicing agreement upon the occurrence of which any of the Master Servicer
(with respect to any Sub-Servicer engaged by it), the Special Servicer (with respect to any Sub-Servicer engaged by it) or the
Depositor shall have the right to immediately terminate such Sub-Servicer and that such termination shall be deemed for cause.


 


Section
8.5     Master Servicer May Own Certificates. The Master Servicer and
any agent of the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer or such agent. Any such interest of the Master Servicer or such
agent in the Certificates shall not be taken into account when evaluating whether actions of the Master Servicer are consistent
with its obligations in accordance with the Servicing Standard regardless of whether


 






    	257



    	 



    

 


such actions may have the effect of benefiting
the Class or Classes of Certificates owned by the Master Servicer.


 


Section
8.6     Maintenance of Hazard Insurance, Other Insurance, Taxes and Other. Subject to the limitations
set forth below, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related
Mortgagor to maintain for each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO Mortgage Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) (A) a
Standard Hazard Insurance Policy (that, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage so require
or so permit the holder of such Mortgage Loan to require, contains no exclusion for damages due to any Act or Acts of Terrorism,
as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002) and which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation in an amount
that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the
outstanding Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced B Note and/or Serviced Companion Loan, but,
in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (B) any other insurance coverage
for such Mortgage Loan which the related Mortgagor is required to maintain under the related Mortgage. If the related Mortgagor
does not maintain the insurance set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above, then the Master Servicer shall cause
such insurance to be maintained with a Qualified Insurer, provided the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain
earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless (x) such insurance was required at origination and is available at commercially
reasonable rates and (y) the Trustee has an insurable interest. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations
with respect to clause (A) above if the Mortgagor maintains, or the Master Servicer shall have otherwise caused to
be obtained, a Standard Hazard Insurance Policy that is in compliance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, and, if required
by such Mortgage Loan documents or if such Mortgage Loan documents permit the holder of such Mortgage Loan to require, the Mortgagor
pays, or the Master Servicer shall have otherwise caused to be paid, the premium required by the related insurance provider that
is necessary to avoid an exclusion in such policy against “acts of terrorism” as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act of 2002.


 


Each
Standard Hazard Insurance Policy maintained with respect to any Mortgaged Property that is not an REO Property shall contain,
or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property
are located in a designated special flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the Federal Register, as amended
from time to time (to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents or as required by law), the Master Servicer
(with respect to any Mortgaged Property that is not an REO Property) shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, cause flood
insurance to be maintained. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Unpaid Principal Balance
of the related Mortgage Loan, Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable, or (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available
for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program, if the area in which the improvements on the Mortgaged
Property are located is participating in such program. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other
than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection
Account.


 






    	258



    	 



    

 


Any
cost (such as insurance premiums and insurance broker fees but not internal costs and expenses of obtaining such insurance) incurred
by the Master Servicer in maintaining any insurance pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall not, for the purpose of calculating
monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Certificate Administrator for their benefit, be added to
the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents permit
such cost to be added to the outstanding principal balance thereof. Such costs shall be paid as a Servicing Advance by the Master
Servicer, subject to Section 4.4 hereof.


 


Notwithstanding
the above, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard
to enforce such insurance requirements. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall not be required in any event to cause the Mortgagor
to maintain or itself obtain insurance coverage (i) beyond what is available on commercially reasonable terms at a cost customarily
acceptable (in each case, as determined by the Master Servicer, which shall be entitled to rely, at its sole expense, on insurance
consultants in making such determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard) and consistent with the Servicing Standard or
(ii) in the case of the Master Servicer obtaining such insurance, if the Trustee does not have an insurable interest; provided
that the Master Servicer shall be obligated to cause the Mortgagor to maintain or itself obtain insurance against property
damage resulting from terrorism or similar acts if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage so
require unless the Special Servicer determines, subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related
Intercreditor Agreement, that the failure to maintain such insurance would constitute an Acceptable Insurance Default (based on
information and documents provided by the Master Servicer as reasonably requested by the Special Servicer). The Master Servicer
shall notify the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan of any determination that it makes pursuant to the proviso to the
prior sentence with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan.


 


The
Master Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in this Section 8.6 either
(i) if the Master Servicer shall have obtained and maintained a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring
against hazard losses on all of the applicable Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any Serviced Companion
Loan and any Serviced B Note serviced by it, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on
terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers consistent with the Servicing
Standard, and provided that such policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer or (ii) if the Master Servicer, for so long
as its long-term rating is not less than “A (low)” by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent (or higher) rating
by at least two other NRSROs (which may include S&P, Fitch and/or Moody’s) (or an A.M. Best equivalent)), not less than
“A3” as rated by Moody’s and not less than “A-” as rated by Fitch), self-insures for its obligations
as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 8.6. If the Master Servicer shall cause any Mortgage Loan to be
covered by such a master force placed or blanket insurance policy, the incremental cost of such insurance allocable to such Mortgage
Loan (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgage Loan is then
covered thereby), if not borne by the related Mortgagor, shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. If such
policy contains a deductible clause, the Master Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with this Section 8.6 and there


 






    	259



    	 



    

 


shall have been a loss that would have been covered by
such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under such master force placed or blanket insurance
policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that such deductible exceeds (i) the deductible under the related
Mortgage Loan documents or (ii) if there is no deductible limitation required under such Mortgage Loan documents, the deductible
amount with respect to insurance policies generally available on properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property which is
consistent with the Servicing Standard, and deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate describing the calculation of
such amount. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan
and any Serviced B Note, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee and the holders of
any Serviced Companion Loan or any Serviced B Note, claims under any such master force placed or blanket insurance policy.


 


With
respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records
with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or
may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. From time
to time, the Master Servicer (other than with respect to any REO Mortgage Loan, REO Serviced B Note or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)
shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) except in the case of
Mortgage Loans under which Escrow Amounts are not held by the Master Servicer, effect payment of all such bills, taxes and other
assessments with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing
for such purpose Escrow Amounts as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. If a Mortgagor fails to make
any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable
penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard shall use its reasonable efforts to
pay as a Servicing Advance the amount necessary to effect the payment of any such item prior to such penalty or termination date,
subject to Section 4.4 hereof. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee as the case may be, in effecting
the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums and ground rents shall, for the
purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents permit such costs to be added to the outstanding principal balances thereof.


 


Section
8.7     Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Due-on-Encumbrance
Clause.


 


(a)          If
the Master Servicer receives a request from a Mortgagor (or other obligor) pursuant to the provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced
Companion Loan or Serviced B Note (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that expressly
permits, subject to any conditions set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the assignment of the related Mortgaged Property
to, and assumption of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note by, another Person, then the Master Servicer
shall obtain relevant information for purposes of evaluating such request. For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, the term
“expressly permits” shall include outright permission to assign, permission to assign upon satisfaction of certain
conditions or prohibition


 






    	260



    	 



    

 


against assignment except upon the satisfaction of stated conditions, in each case without lender discretion.
In addition, if any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note, in each case that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms
(i) provides that it 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 ownership interest in the related Mortgagor, or (ii) provides that it
may not be assumed, or ownership interests in the related Mortgagor may not be transferred, without the consent of the related
mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer, then, upon the request of the related Mortgagor or other appropriate
party or a potential or actual breach of such “due-on-sale” clause, the Master Servicer shall obtain relevant information
for purposes of evaluating such request and in all cases, shall send such information to the Special Servicer for determination
of the satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.7(a).


 


In
connection with the foregoing, and subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver any such request that involves a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision
to the Special Servicer (and the holder of any related Serviced B Note and, if required by the related Intercreditor Agreement,
the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan), together with any information in the possession of the Master Servicer that
is reasonably necessary for the Special Servicer to make a decision with respect to such Mortgagor’s request. Subject to
Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard (and, with respect to any such request that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision,
while directly processing such request), grant or withhold consent to any such request for such assignment and assumption in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note and this Agreement, or to any such waiver
of a due-on-sale clause. With respect to any such request processed by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.7(f),
(x) the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent of the Special Servicer and such consent of the Special Servicer shall be deemed
given if not denied within the period contemplated by Section 10.3, (y) the Master Servicer shall act accordingly and shall
not permit any such assignment or assumption or waive any such due-on-sale clause unless (i) it has received the written consent
of the Special Servicer or such consent has been deemed to have been granted as set forth in the preceding clause (x),
and (ii) with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the Master Servicer has obtained the approval of the holder of the related
Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement,
and in accordance with any procedures therefor set forth in Section 10.13 and (z) if the Special Servicer withholds
consent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, it shall provide the Master Servicer with a written statement and a verbal
explanation, as necessary, as to its reasoning and analysis.


 


The
Special Servicer (upon deciding to grant consent (subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related
Intercreditor Agreement) to any proposed assignment and assumption) or, with respect to any request that does not constitute a
Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer (upon consent or deemed consent by the Special Servicer (subject
to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement) to any proposed assignment and
assumption) shall process such request of the related Mortgagor (or other obligor) and shall be authorized to enter into an assignment
and assumption or


 






    	261



    	 



    

 


substitution agreement with the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be
conveyed, and/or release the original Mortgagor from liability under the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced
B Note and substitute as obligor thereunder the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed;
provided that neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any such agreement to the extent that
any terms thereof would result in an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event or create any lien on a Mortgaged Property
that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the
Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall enter into such an assumption or substitution agreement unless the credit status
of the prospective new Mortgagor (or other obligor) is in conformity to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and, if applicable,
Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan documents. The Master Servicer, in making its recommendation to the Special Servicer
and the Special Servicer, in consenting to the action of the Master Servicer, shall evaluate such conformity in accordance with
the Servicing Standard.


 


Neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability, and each of them shall be indemnified by the Trust for
any liability to the Mortgagor or the proposed assignee, for any delay in responding to requests for assumption, if the same shall
occur as a result of the failure of any Rating Agency to respond to such request in a reasonable period of time.


 


(b)          Prior
to consenting to any assignment and assumption or waiver of a “due-on-sale” clause pursuant to Section 8.7(a)
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or B Note, the Special Servicer or, with respect to any request
that does not constitute a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall provide a Rating
Agency Communication to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to any securities that are rated by any such NRSRO and evidence
direct beneficial interests in a Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note regarding such assignment and assumption or waiver
if (A) the Unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at such time equals or exceeds 5% of the Aggregate Certificate
Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates or exceeds $35,000,000 or (B) the related Mortgage Loan is one of the then current
ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans or groups of Crossed Mortgage Loans (by Unpaid Principal Balance) in the Trust Fund; provided,
no Rating Agency Communication will be required under such circumstances if the Unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage
Loan is less than $5,000,000. In connection with each such Rating Agency Communication, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer,
as applicable, shall prepare and, subject to Section 5.7, deliver to the Rating Agencies a memorandum outlining its
analysis and recommendation in accordance with the Servicing Standard, together with copies of all relevant documentation, and
shall promptly forward copies of the assignment and assumption documents relating to the applicable Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion
Loan or Serviced B Note to the Special Servicer (if the Master Servicer is processing the matter), the Master Servicer (if the
Special Servicer is processing the matter), the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the
Trustee, and the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly thereafter, subject to Section 5.7,
forward such documents to the Rating Agencies.


 


(c)          The
Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, in each case, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the holder of any related Serviced
Companion Loan and the holder of


 






    	262



    	 



    

 


any related Serviced B Note, shall execute any necessary instruments (pursuant to subsection
(a)) for such assignment and assumption agreements. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by such documents, the Special
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall cause the originals of the assignment and assumption agreement, the release
(if any), or the modification or supplement to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note to be delivered
to the Custodian (with a copy thereof to the Master Servicer (if delivered by the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (if
delivered by the Master Servicer)) except to the extent such documents have been submitted to the recording office, in which event
the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly deliver copies of such documents to the Custodian,
the Master Servicer (if the Special Servicer is processing the matter) and the Special Servicer (if the Master Servicer is processing
the matter).


 


(d)          If
any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan) which contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, which by its terms:


 


(i)          provides
that such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note, as applicable, 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 a lien
on an ownership interest in 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 a lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor,


 


then,
if the Master Servicer receives a request for a waiver of, or gains actual knowledge of any potential or actual breach of, such
“due-on-encumbrance” clause, the Master Servicer shall obtain relevant information for purposes of evaluating such
request. The Master Servicer shall then, subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor
Agreement, promptly deliver any such request to the Special Servicer, together with any information in the possession of the Master
Servicer that is reasonably necessary for the Special Servicer to make a decision with respect to such Mortgagor’s request.
Subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer
shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and, with respect to any such request that constitutes a Major Decision or Special
Servicer Decision, while directly processing such request), grant or withhold consent to any such request for waiver of such due-on-encumbrance
clause. With respect to any such request processed by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.7(f), (x) the Master
Servicer shall obtain the consent of the Special Servicer and such consent of the Special Servicer shall be deemed given if not
denied within the time period contemplated by Section 10.3, (y) the Master Servicer shall act accordingly and shall not
permit any such waiver unless it has received the written consent of the Special Servicer or such consent has been deemed to have
been granted as set forth in this sentence and (z) if the Special Servicer withholds consent pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
it shall provide the Master Servicer with a written statement and a verbal explanation, as necessary, as to its reasoning and
analysis.


 


The
Special Servicer (upon deciding to grant consent (subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor
Agreement) to any proposed waiver) or the


 






    	263



    	 



    

 


Master Servicer (upon consent or deemed consent by the Special Servicer (subject to
Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement) to any proposed waiver) shall process
such request of the related Mortgagor subject to the other requirements set forth above.


 


(e)          Prior
to consenting to any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause pursuant to Section 8.7(d) with respect to
any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note, the Special Servicer or, with respect to any request that does
not constitute a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall provide a Rating Agency
Communication regarding such waiver to each Rating Agency, the 17g-5 Information Provider and each Other NRSRO with respect to
any securities that are rated by any such NRSRO and evidence direct beneficial interests in a Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced
B Note.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.7 that requires the consent of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, any such consent with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or any Loan Pair shall be obtained in accordance
with the related Intercreditor Agreement and within the time periods specified therein.


 


(f)          With
respect to any non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer shall forward
any request for consent to an assignment or assumption or for a waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance”
clause described above that, in each case, involves a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision to the Special Servicer. Unless
the Master Servicer and Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Special Servicer
shall process such request. If such request does not involve a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer
shall process such request.


 


(g)          Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Master Servicer does not process a Major Decision or Special
Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall have no duty to deliver to the Special Servicer any analysis or recommendations in
connection with any such action but shall be required to provide all available information that is reasonably necessary for the
Special Servicer to make a decision with respect to the applicable Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision.


 


Section
8.8     Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Trust Mortgage Files.


 


(a)          Upon
the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the complete defeasance of a Mortgage Loan, satisfaction or discharge in full of any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the purchase of an A Note by the holder of a Serviced B Note pursuant to the related Intercreditor
Agreement, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full (or such payment, if any, in connection
with the satisfaction and discharge in full of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, and upon notification by the Master Servicer in the form of a certification (which certification shall include
a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and a request for release of the
Trust Mortgage File


 






    	264



    	 



    

 


in the form of Exhibit C hereto delivered to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf), the
Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall promptly release the related Trust Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the
Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall deliver to the Master Servicer the deed of reconveyance or release, satisfaction
or assignment of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, as directed by the Master Servicer together with
the Mortgage Note (or Mortgage Notes) with written evidence of cancellation thereon. The provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence shall not, in any manner, limit or impair the right of the Master Servicer to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee,
the Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan, the holder of any Serviced B Note or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction, cancellation or assignment without recourse, representation or warranty, or of partial or full release
or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan or any Serviced
B Note, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced
Companion Loan and the holder of any Serviced B Note. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or
deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Distribution Account but shall be paid by the Master Servicer except to the extent
that such expenses are paid by the related Mortgagor in a manner consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage and applicable
law. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection
under any policy of flood insurance, any Servicer Fidelity Bond or Errors and Omissions Policy, or for the purposes of effecting
a partial or total release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage
Note (or Mortgage Notes) or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Trust Mortgage File, the Custodian shall,
upon request of the Master Servicer and the delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer,
in the form of Exhibit C hereto, release the Trust Mortgage File to the Master Servicer.


 


(b)          With
respect to any Non-Serviced Loan Combination or the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Loan Pair (on and after the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio
Companion Loan Securitization Date), if pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Other Companion Loan Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such Non-Serviced Loan Combination or the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio
Loan Pair, as applicable, the related Other Master Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note, then the Custodian
shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to the related Other Master Servicer or its designee and shall
retain a copy thereof, subject to the execution of an agreement by such Other Master Servicer to safeguard such original Mortgage
Note and to return such original Mortgage Note promptly when no longer required by such Other Master Servicer for such purpose.


 


(c)          With
respect to any Loan Pair, if pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such
Loan Pair, the Master Servicer requests from the related Other Custodian delivery to it of the original mortgage note evidencing
the related Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall agree to safeguard such original mortgage note and to return such
original mortgage note promptly when no longer required by it for such purpose.


 


Section
8.9     Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to
be Held for the Trustee for the Benefit of the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall transmit to


 






    	265



    	 



    

 


the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian, to the extent required by
this Agreement, all documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account
fully to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian for any funds received or otherwise collected thereby, including
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Servicer Mortgage Files and funds collected or
held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans (or any Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion
Loan), whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, including
any funds on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Custodial Account), shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf
of the Trustee and the Certificateholders (or the holder of any Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable) and
shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trust, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The
Master Servicer agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Servicer Mortgage Files or Trust Mortgage File or any funds
that are deposited in the Collection Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable
to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of
attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Servicer Mortgage
Files or Trust Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer
under this Agreement.


 


Section
8.10     Servicing Compensation.


 


(a)          As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee, which shall be payable
by the Trust from amounts held in the Collection Account (and from the related Custodial Account to the extent related solely
to any Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan) or otherwise collected from the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, A/B Whole
Loans and Loan Pairs (including a Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair that relates to an REO Property or is a Defeasance
Loan), including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, as provided in Section 5.2. The Master Servicer’s rights to
the Master Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement or as provided in the following paragraph with respect
to the Excess Servicing Fee.


 


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


 






    	266



    	 



    

 


Registrar
shall have any obligation to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an
Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. The Master Servicer and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee
Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and the Master
Servicer hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right
shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to
indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator,
the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer against
any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or
other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance

then the Master Servicer shall not waive the portion of such fee due to the Special Servicer without the Special Servicer’s
written approval.


 


(ii)         Subject
to Section 10.3, the right of the Special Servicer to process Major Decisions and Special Servicer Decisions, and
the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer may extend the maturity date of any Balloon
Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date that is not more than
sixty (60) days following the original Maturity Date, if in the Master Servicer’s sole judgment exercised in good faith
(and evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Special Servicer and the Trustee), a default in the payment
of the Balloon Payment is reasonably foreseeable and such extension is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to the
Holders and the holders of the related Serviced B Note and Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole) on a net present value
basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than liquidation of such Balloon Loan and the Mortgagor has obtained
an executed written commitment acceptable to the Special Servicer (subject only to satisfaction of conditions set forth therein)
for refinancing of such Balloon Loan or purchase of the related Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer shall process all such
extensions.


 


(b)          In
connection with processing (or granting consent to the Master Servicer in connection with any action being processed by the Master
Servicer that is) any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Special Servicer (in accordance with the Servicing Standard
and subject to the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement) shall


 






    	276



    	 



    

 


also have the right: (i) to agree to any
modification, waiver, amendment or consent of or relating to any term (other than a Money Term) of a Mortgage Loan (other than
a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), a Serviced Companion Loan or a Serviced B Note that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
provided that such amendment would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event; and (ii) to
extend the maturity date of any Balloon Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan to a date that is not more than sixty (60) days following the original Maturity Date, if in the Special Servicer’s
sole judgment exercised in good faith (and evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee), a default in
the payment of the Balloon Payment is reasonably foreseeable and such extension is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery
to the Holders and the holders of the related Serviced B Note and Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole) on a net present
value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than liquidation of such Balloon Loan and the Mortgagor has
obtained an executed written commitment acceptable to the Special Servicer (subject only to satisfaction of conditions set forth
therein) for refinancing of such Balloon Loan or purchase of the related Mortgaged Property.


 


(c)          The
Master Servicer may require, in its discretion (unless prohibited or otherwise provided in the Mortgage Loan documents), as a
condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for any consent, modification, waiver, amendment or collateral release, that
such Mortgagor pay to the Trust a reasonable and customary modification fee to the extent permitted by law; provided that
the collection of such fee shall not be permitted if collection of such fee would cause a “significant modification”
(within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b)) of the Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer may charge the
Mortgagor for any costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and rating agency fees) incurred by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer (and any amounts incurred by the Special Servicer shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer as an Additional
Trust Expense) in connection with any request for a modification, waiver, amendment or collateral release. The Master Servicer
agrees to use its reasonable best efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect such costs, expenses and fees from
the Mortgagor and if the Master Servicer believes that the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) to be incurred
by the Master Servicer in connection with any request for a modification, waiver or amendment will result in a payment or reimbursement
by the Trust, then the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer prior to incurring any such costs and expenses, provided
that the failure or inability of the Mortgagor to pay any such costs and expenses shall not impair the right of the Master
Servicer to cause such costs and expenses (but not including any modification fee), and interest thereon at the Advance Rate,
to be paid or reimbursed by the Trust as a Servicing Advance (to the extent not paid by the Mortgagor).


 


(d)          The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Controlling
Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (other
than during any Subordinate Control Period) and the Special Servicer of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any
Mortgage Loan permitted by it under this Section and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s
behalf) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver
or amendment, promptly following the execution thereof except to the extent such documents have been submitted to the applicable
recording office, in which event the Master


 






    	277



    	 



    

 


Servicer shall promptly deliver copies of such documents to the Custodian (on the
Trustee’s behalf). The Master Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver, or amendment of any term of (i) any
Mortgage Loan that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision or (ii) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall notify the holder of any related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion
Loan of any modification of the monthly payments of an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair, as the case may be, and such monthly payments
shall be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (or with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as
a Loan Pair in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (or with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as a Loan
Pair in accordance with Section 8.30 hereof, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents and Section 8.30 hereof).


 


(e)          With
respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall provide prompt written notice to the Special Servicer
of any request for modification, waiver or amendment of such Mortgage Loan or any related A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, together
with any information in the possession of the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request for any such action
that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision. Unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree
that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Special Servicer shall process any request for modification, waiver or
amendment of any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair that constitutes a Major
Decision or Special Servicer Decision. If the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer
shall process such request, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall comply with the procedures in Section 10.3.


 


Section
8.19     Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.


 


(a)          Within
five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to a Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced
Companion Loan or Serviced B Note, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall send a written notice to
the Special Servicer (if such notice is sent by the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer (if such notice is sent by the Special
Servicer), the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period),
the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post
such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such notice
on the Certificate Administrator’s Website), the Trustee, the Custodian, the related Seller and, solely as it relates to

nature and relevant facts of such Servicing Transfer Event and whether such Mortgage Loan is covered by an Environmental Insurance
Policy (and for purposes of stating whether such Mortgage Loan is covered by an Environmental Insurance Policy the Master Servicer
may rely on Schedule IX attached hereto) and, in the case of a notice to the Special Servicer, shall be accompanied by
a copy of the Servicer Mortgage File.


 


(b)          Prior
to or concurrently with the transfer of the servicing of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall notify the related


 






    	278



    	 



    

 


Mortgagor of such transfer in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and shall send a copy
of such notice to the Special Servicer).


 


(c)          Any
calculations or reports prepared by the Master Servicer to the extent they relate to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be
based on information supplied to the Master Servicer in writing by the Special Servicer as provided hereby. The Master Servicer
shall have no duty to investigate or confirm the accuracy of any information provided to it by the Special Servicer and shall
have no liability for the inaccuracy of any of its reports due to the inaccuracy of the information provided by the Special Servicer.


 


(d)          Subject
to Section 5.4(e), on or prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Special Servicer, in
order for the Special Servicer to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, such information (and in the form and medium)
as the Special Servicer may reasonably request in writing from time to time.

the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date:


 


(i)         the
Master Servicer is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a national banking association under the laws of the
United States of America, and shall be and thereafter remain, in compliance with the laws of each State in which any Mortgaged

the terms of this Agreement;


 


(ii)        the
Master Servicer has the full power and authority to execute, deliver, perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions
and obligations contemplated by this Agreement. The Master Servicer has duly and validly authorized the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Master Servicer; and this Agreement,
assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties hereto, evidences the valid and binding obligation
of the Master Servicer enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement of remedies,
to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, conservatorship, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally (and, to the extent applicable, the rights of creditors of national banks) as from time to time
in effect, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law), and to matters of public policy with respect to indemnification or contribution as to violations of securities laws;


 


(iii)       the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer, the consummation by the Master Servicer of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance by the Master Servicer with the terms and conditions of this


 






    	279



    	 



    

 


Agreement will not (1) conflict
with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement
or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule, regulation, or judgment, decree
or order applicable to it of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it,
in any manner that materially and adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (2) result
in a breach of any term or provision of its organizational documents;


 


(iv)       no
litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer’s knowledge, threatened, against it, the outcome of which,
in the Master Servicer’s reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the execution,
delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or its ability to service the Mortgage Loans it is required to service hereunder
or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof;


 


(v)        no
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
and performance by it of, or compliance by it with, this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, it has obtained the same or will obtain the same prior to
the time necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, except to the extent in the case of performance, that
its failure to be qualified to do business or licensed in one or more states does not materially and adversely affect the performance
by it of its obligations hereunder; and


 


(vi)       the
performance of the services by the Master Servicer contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the
Master Servicer and the Master Servicer possesses all licenses, permits and other authorizations necessary to perform its duties
hereunder in each state, except to the extent that being licensed or having permits or other authorization in one or more states
is not necessary for the performance by it of its obligations hereunder.


 


(b)          It
is understood that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 8.20 shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement.


 


(c)          Any
cause of action against the Master Servicer arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section
shall accrue upon the giving of written notice to the Master Servicer by any of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trust Advisor. The Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Special Servicer of the occurrence, or the failure
to occur, of any event that, with notice or the passage of time or both, would cause any representation or warranty in this Section
to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect.


 


Section
8.21     Merger or Consolidation. Any Person into which the Master
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, consolidation or other change in
form to which the Master Servicer shall be a party (but not the surviving entity), or any Person succeeding to the business of
the Master Servicer, shall be the


 






    	280



    	 



    

 


successor of the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that the Master Servicer shall have provided a Rating
Agency Communication to each Rating Agency and each other NRSRO with respect to any securities rated by any such NRSRO evidencing
direct beneficial ownership interests in any Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note. If a transaction described in the preceding
sentence occurs and (i) the conditions to the provisions in such sentence are not met, then the Trustee may terminate or (ii)
the conditions set forth in the following paragraph are not met, the Trustee shall terminate, the successor’s, survivor’s
or resulting entity’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, such termination to be effected in the manner set
forth in Sections 8.28 and 8.29. The successor or surviving Person shall provide prompt written notice of the
merger or consolidation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the 17g-5 Information Provider.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if, and for so long as, the Trust, or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant
to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the
Master Servicer may not remain the Master Servicer under this Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any
Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets to any Prohibited Party, unless (i) the Master Servicer
is the surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer or (ii) the Depositor consents to such merger, consolidation
or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and if, within forty-five (45) days following the date of delivery
of a notice by the Master Servicer to the Depositor of any merger or similar transaction described in the preceding paragraph,
the Depositor shall have failed to notify the Master Servicer of the Depositor’s determination to grant or withhold such
consent, such failure shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such consent).


 


Section
8.22     Resignation of Master Servicer.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise provided in Section 8.22(b) hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it unless it determines that the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are 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 Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor master servicer designated by the Trustee, with the consent
of the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations
under this Agreement and the Trustee shall have provided each Rating Agency and each other NRSRO with respect to any securities
rated by any such NRSRO evidencing interests in any Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note with a Rating Agency Communication.
Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the other parties to this Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall bear all costs associated with its resignation and the transfer of servicing under this Section 8.22(a). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Master Servicer shall cease to serve as such in accordance with this Section 8.22(a) and a successor
servicer shall not have been engaged, the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee shall assume the duties and obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement. If the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee assumes the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 8.22(a), the Trustee or such agent shall be permitted to


 






    	281



    	 



    

 


resign as master servicer if it
has been replaced by a successor servicer satisfying the criteria in the fourth (4th) preceding sentence above.


 


(b)          The
Master Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it, upon thirty (30) days notice to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator; provided that (i) a successor master servicer (A) is available, (B) has a
net worth of at least $15,000,000 and (C) is willing to and does assume the obligations, responsibilities, and covenants
to be performed hereunder by the Master Servicer on substantially the same terms and conditions, and for not more than equivalent
compensation to that herein provided; (ii) the Master Servicer bears all costs associated with its resignation and the transfer
of servicing; (iii) (A)(x) such successor master servicer is acting as master servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization
that was rated by DBRS and a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by Moody’s, in each case within the
twelve (12) month period prior to the date of determination, and neither DBRS nor Moody’s has downgraded or withdrawn the
then current rating on any class of commercial mortgage securities or placed any class of commercial mortgage securities on watch
citing the continuation of such master servicer as master servicer of such commercial mortgage securities as the sole or material
reason for such downgrade or withdrawal or placement on watch or (y) if such successor master servicer is not acting as master
servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by DBRS and/or Moody’s in such twelve (12) month period,
then such Rating Agency shall have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation; and (B) such successor master servicer has a master
servicer rating of at least “CMS3” from Fitch; and (iv) the resigning Master Servicer shall have provided each
Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such servicing transfer.


 


Section
8.23     Assignment or Delegation of Duties by Master Servicer. The
Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of the Trustee to (A) delegate or subcontract with
or authorize or appoint anyone, or delegate certain duties to other professionals such as attorneys and appraisers, as an agent
of the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 8.4) to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations
to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder or (B) assign and delegate all of its duties hereunder;
provided that with respect to clause (B), (i) the Master Servicer gives the Depositor, the Special Servicer,
the holder of any related Serviced B Note (only if such assignment/delegation relates to an A/B Whole Loan or, if applicable,
a Loan Pair), the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan (only if such assignment/delegation relates to a Loan Pair) and
the Trustee notice of such assignment and delegation; (ii) such purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation
executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such assignment, which contains an assumption by
such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like effect
as if originally named as a party to this Agreement or any other subservicing agreement with any Surviving Sub-Servicer; (iii) the
purchaser or transferee has a net worth in excess of $15,000,000; (iv) the Master Servicer shall have provided to each Rating
Agency a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such assignment and delegation; and (v) the Depositor consents to such
assignment and delegation, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In the case of any such assignment and delegation in
accordance with the requirements of subclause (B) of this Section, the Master Servicer shall be released from its
obligations under this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred
by it as the Master Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the


 






    	282



    	 



    

 


conditions to such assignment set forth in the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer may appoint the sub-servicers in accordance with Section 8.4
hereof.


 


Section
8.24     Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.


 


(a)          Neither
the Master Servicer nor any of the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers or agents of the Master Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust, the holders of the Certificates, any other party to this Agreement, the Underwriters,
the Initial Purchasers, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or the holder of any Serviced B Note for any action taken or
for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith, or using reasonable business judgment, consistent with the Servicing
Standard; provided that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of a
representation or warranty contained herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in its performance of duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Master Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer
may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (including, without
limitation, the Special Servicer) respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer, subject to Section 9.34, may in its sole discretion undertake
any such action that it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to protect the interests of the Certificateholders,
the Trustee and the Trust in the Mortgage Loans, the interests of the holder of any Serviced B Note or the interests of the holder
of any Serviced Companion Loan (subject to the Special Servicer’s servicing of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as contemplated
herein), or shall undertake any such action if instructed to do so by the Trustee. In such event, all legal expenses and costs
of such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor as
Servicing Advances as provided by Section 5.2, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.


 


(b)          In
addition, the Master Servicer shall have no liability with respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in, any certificates or opinions furnished to the Master
Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall have
the right to rely on information provided to it by the Special Servicer and Mortgagors, and will have no duty to investigate or
verify the accuracy thereof. Neither the Master Servicer, nor any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent,
shall be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any officer, unless it shall be proved that the Master
Servicer or such Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts. Neither the Master Servicer nor any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate, shall be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.


 


(c)          The
Master Servicer shall not be obligated to incur any liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise
from any breach of any representation,


 






    	283



    	 



    

 


warranty or covenant made by any other party to this Agreement in this Agreement. The Trust
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses
which relate to or arise from any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant to the extent the Master Servicer is unable
to recover such amounts from the Person in breach.


 


(d)          Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein:


 


(i)          the
Master Servicer may rely, 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) reasonably believed or in good faith believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


 


(ii)         the
Master Servicer may consult with counsel, and any written advice 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; and


 


(iii)        the
Master Servicer, in preparing any reports hereunder, may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any information (financial or other), statement, certificate, document, agreement, covenant, notice, request or other paper reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and provided by any Mortgagor or manager of a Mortgaged Property.


 


(e)          The
Master Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer shall be indemnified
by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any legal action relating
to the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case
may be, respective willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective duties hereunder or by reason
of negligent disregard of its respective duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder or by reason of
negligent disregard of the Master Servicer’s obligations and duties hereunder. The Master Servicer shall immediately notify
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Special Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect
to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Master Servicer to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, in each case, to the extent the claim is related to its respective
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, may assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Master Servicer) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy
any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Special Servicer shall not affect any rights that the Master Servicer may
have to indemnification under this Agreement or


 






    	284



    	 



    

 


otherwise, unless the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s,
the Custodian’s or the Special Servicer’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any payment hereunder
made by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph to or at
the direction of the Master Servicer shall be paid from the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s
or Special Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust therefor except to the extent achieved through subrogation
as provided in this Agreement. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Custodian or the Special Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made,
if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final judgment that the conduct of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the
Custodian or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, was not culpable or such indemnifying party was found to not have acted
with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.


 


Section
8.25     Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.


 


(a)          The
Master Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer (the “Master

the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loans and any Serviced B Notes (including REO Loans), as provided in the following
paragraph, against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any
other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (collectively, “Master Servicer Losses”) incurred in connection
with any legal action relating to this Agreement, any Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loans, any Serviced B Notes, any
REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under this Agreement reasonably requiring the use of counsel or
the incurring of expenses, other than any loss, liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking
indemnification, without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) which constitutes a Servicing Advance
that is otherwise reimbursable under this Agreement; (iii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party
seeking indemnification, resulting from any breach on the part of that party of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement;
or (iv) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of that party in the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement
or negligent disregard of such obligations or duties.


 


Except
as provided in the following sentence, indemnification for Master Servicer Losses described in the preceding paragraph (including
in the case of such Master Servicer Losses that relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or grantor
trust formed hereunder or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions
or provisions relating to the grantor trust or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or grantor trust tax or expense with respect
to any REMIC or grantor trust formed hereunder) shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans
as a whole but not out of collections on, or other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Loan or any Serviced B Note. In the case
of any such Master Servicer Losses that do not relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any
determination


 






    	285



    	 



    

 


respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions of the Code or the actual payment
of any REMIC tax or expense:


 


(1)          if
such Master Servicer Losses relate to a Loan Pair, then (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) such indemnification
shall be paid (x) first, out of collections on, and other proceeds of, such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced
Companion Loan, in the relative proportions provided for in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and (y) if the collections
and proceeds described in subclause (x) of this clause (1) are not sufficient to so indemnify the
Master Servicer Indemnified Parties on a current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of collections
on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole; and


 


(2)          if
such Master Servicer Losses relate to any A/B Whole Loan, then (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) such indemnification
shall be paid (x) first, if and to the extent permitted under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, out of collections
on, and other proceeds of such A/B Whole Loan, and (y) if the collections and proceeds described in subclause (x)
of this clause (2) are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master Servicer Indemnified Parties on a current
basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans
as a whole.


 


The
Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer) and out
of the Trust pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and out of the Trust promptly pay, discharge and
satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. The indemnification provided
herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer shall
promptly make from the Collection Account (and, if and to the extent that the amount due shall be paid from collections on, and
other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Loan or any Serviced B Note, as set forth above, out of the related Custodial Account)
any payments certified by the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator as required to be made to the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.25.


 


(b)          The
Master Servicer agrees to indemnify each other party to this Agreement, the Trust, and any director, officer, member, manager,
employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any such Person may sustain
arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Master Servicer’s
duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the Master Servicer’s obligations and duties hereunder (including
a breach of such obligations a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic advantage from not complying with or not performing
such obligations), and if in any such situation the Master Servicer is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the amount of such
claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall
at least equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor servicer. The Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Trust
Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Depositor, as applicable, shall immediately notify the Master Servicer
if a claim is made by any Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trustee, the


 






    	286



    	 



    

 


Depositor, the
Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trust to indemnification under this Section 8.25(b),
whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Depositor, as applicable) and pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which
may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Master Servicer shall not affect any
rights the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the
Trust may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer’s defense of such claim
is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the
Custodian and the Trustee. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed by
the party so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final, non-appealable
judgment that the conduct of the Master Servicer was not culpable or that the Master Servicer did not act with willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence.


 


(c)          Any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against the Trust’s pro rata share
of any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities,
fees and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement and relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (but excluding any such losses allocable to the related
Non-Serviced Companion Loans), reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses other than any losses incurred
by reason of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance
of its duties under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Section
8.26     Loan Registry. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the
loan agreement for each of the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule VIII attached to this Agreement provides that the
related Mortgagor or an agent of the related Mortgagor shall maintain a register (the “Lender Register”) on
which it will record the related Mortgage Loan and each assignment thereof and/or participation therein. Promptly following the
Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall confirm, with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule VIII
attached to this Agreement, that the related Mortgagor or its agent has reflected the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders
as the new lender on the applicable Lender Register.


 


Section
8.27     Compliance with REMIC Provisions and Grantor Trust Provisions. The Master Servicer shall
act in accordance with this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions and related provisions of the Code in order to create or maintain
the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC and the Grantor Trust created hereby as a grantor trust under the Code. The Master Servicer
shall not (A) take any action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any action that could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC
Pool as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) result in 


 






    	287



    	 



    

 


the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including, but not limited
to, the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) or on contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d))
or (B) take any action or cause the Grantor Trust to take any action that could (i) endanger its status as a grantor
trust or (ii) result in the imposition of any tax upon the Grantor Trust unless the Trustee shall have received a Nondisqualification
Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger
such status or result in the imposition of such tax. The Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Article XII
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for an Adverse REMIC Event resulting from the failure
of any Mortgage Loan by its terms to comply with Revenue Procedure 2010-30, provided that the Master Servicer directly
pursues any available remedies against the relevant Seller with respect to any breach or violation of a representation or warranty
with respect to such Mortgage Loan’s compliance with Revenue Procedure 2010-30.


 


Section
8.28     Termination. The obligations and responsibilities of the Master
Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Master Servicer to make payments to the Certificate Administrator as
set forth in Section 8.29 and the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Custodian, the Special Servicer and the Trust that survive termination of this Agreement as provided herein) shall terminate
(i) on the date which is the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last of the Mortgage Loans remaining
outstanding (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) or (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution
to the Certificateholders), (ii) if a Servicer Termination Event described in clauses 8.28(a)(iii), (iv), (viii),
(ix) or (x) has occurred and is continuing, sixty (60) days following the date on which the Trustee or Depositor gives
written notice to the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer is terminated or (iii) if a Servicer Termination Event described
in clauses 8.28(a)(i), (ii), (v), (vi) or (vii) has occurred and is continuing, immediately
upon the date on which the Trustee or the Depositor gives written notice to the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer is terminated.
After any Servicer Termination Event (but subject, in the case of Section 8.28(a)(x), to the waiver right of the Depositor
described therein), the Trustee (i) may elect to terminate the Master Servicer by providing such notice, and (ii) shall
provide such notice if holders of Certificates representing more than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates so
direct the Trustee.


 


(a)          “Servicer
Termination Event,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:


 


(i)          any
failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Certificate Administrator or otherwise make any payment required to be remitted
by the Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement, including any required Advances; provided that, if a payment
is required to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the
failure to remit that payment to the Certificate Administrator shall only be a “Servicer Termination Event” under
this clause (a)(i) if that payment has not been remitted to the Certificate Administrator prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the related Distribution Date; or


 






    	288



    	 



    

 


(ii)           any
failure by the Master Servicer to make a required deposit to the Collection Account which continues unremedied for one (1) Business

(iii)          any
failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the duties, covenants
or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement (other than if, and for so long as, the Trust or
a trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is subject to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act, the duties, covenants or agreements set forth in Article XIII to the extent described in Section 8.28(a)(ix))
which continues 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 Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee; provided such cure
period will be extended to the extent necessary to permit the Master Servicer to cure such failure if (A) the Master Servicer
certifies to the Trustee and the Depositor that the Master Servicer is in good faith attempting to remedy such failure and (B)
the Certificateholders shall not be materially and adversely affected thereby; provided, further, that such cure
period may not exceed 90 days; or


 


(iv)          any
breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.20 hereof that materially and adversely affects
the interest of any holder of any Class of Certificates and that continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the
date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor
or the Trustee, provided such cure period will be extended to the extent necessary to permit the Master Servicer to cure
such breach if (A) the Master Servicer certifies to the Trustee and the Depositor that the Master Servicer is in good faith attempting
to remedy such breach and (B) the Certificateholders shall not be materially and adversely affected thereby; provided,
further, that such cure period may not exceed 90 days; or


 


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


 


(vi)          the
Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer
or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or


 


(vii)         the
Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage
of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily
suspend payment of its obligations, or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or


 






    	289



    	 



    






 


(viii)      a
Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer obtains knowledge that (a) DBRS
or Moody’s has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates
or one or more classes of securities backed by a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan or (B) placed one or more Classes
of Certificates or one or more classes of securities backed by a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan on “watch status”
in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal (and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B),
such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement shall not have been withdrawn by DBRS or Moody’s,
as applicable, within sixty (60) days of the date such Servicing Officer obtained such actual knowledge) and, in the case of either
of clauses (A) or (B), publicly cited servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or material
factor in such rating action; or (b) the Master Servicer ceases to have a master servicer rating of at least “CMS3”
from Fitch and such rating is not reinstated within sixty (60) days; or


 


(ix)         if,
and for so long as the Trust or a trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is subject
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer or any Additional Servicer or Sub-Servicer appointed by
such Master Servicer (other than any Additional Servicer that is a Seller Sub-Servicer) shall fail to deliver any Regulation AB
or any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by such servicer under Article XIII of this Agreement at the
times required under such Article; or


 


(x)          if,
and for so long as the Trust or a trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is subject
to the reporting requirements of Regulation AB or the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer shall fail to terminate any Sub-Servicer
that is a Reporting Servicer subject to and in accordance with Section 8.4(c); provided that the Depositor may waive any
such Servicer Termination Event (including waiving the failure by a Reporting Servicer to deliver any applicable reports required
pursuant to Regulation AB or the Exchange Act) under this clause (x) in its sole discretion without the consent of the Trustee
or any Certificateholders.


 


(b)          Reserved.

the Distribution Account in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) in remitting payments as received in accordance with this Agreement
or (iii) under clauses (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Servicer Termination Event”). If a Servicer Termination
Event by the Master Servicer is waived in connection with an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced
B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, shall, to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement, be entitled
to require that the Master Servicer appoint a sub-servicer to service such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as the case may be, if
such sub-servicer meets the requirements that a successor master servicer would be required to satisfy to be a successor master
servicer set forth in Section 8.22(b); provided, that the Master Servicer shall be required to provide each Rating
Agency with a Rating Agency Communication.

Section
8.29     Procedure Upon Termination.


 


(a)          Notice
of any termination pursuant to clause (i) of the first (1st) paragraph of Section 8.28, specifying
the Master Servicer Remittance Date upon which the final transfer by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator shall
be made, shall be given promptly in writing by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator no later than the later of
(i) five (5) Business Days after the final payment or other liquidation of the last of the Mortgage Loans or (ii) the
sixth (6th) day of the month of such final distribution. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice of termination, the
Certificate Administrator shall forward such notice of termination to the other parties to this Agreement. Upon any such termination,
the duties of the Master Servicer (other than the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay to the Certificate Administrator the
amounts remaining in the Collection Account as set forth below and the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the
Trust that survive termination of this Agreement as provided herein) shall terminate and the Master Servicer shall transfer to
the Certificate Administrator the amounts remaining in the Collection Account (and any sub-account) after making the withdrawals
permitted to be made pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall thereafter terminate the Collection Account and any other account
or fund maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans.


 


(b)          On
the date specified in a written notice of termination given to the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of the
first (1st) paragraph of Section 8.28, or on the date on which a written notice of termination is given
to the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (iii) of the first (1st) paragraph of Section 8.28
all authority, power and rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall terminate (except for any rights relating to indemnification, unpaid servicing compensation or unreimbursed Advances and
related interest); provided, that in no event shall the termination of the Master Servicer be effective until a successor
master servicer shall have (i) succeeded the Master Servicer as successor master servicer, (ii) notified the Master
Servicer of such succession and (iii) assumed the Master Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement
pursuant to a writing executed by the successor master servicer and delivered to each of the other parties hereto. Except as provided
in the next sentence, the Trustee may not succeed the Master Servicer as servicer until and unless it has satisfied the provisions
that would apply to a Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.22(b) hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Master Servicer is terminated as a result of an event described in Section 8.28(a)(v),
8.28(a)(vi) or 8.28(a)(vii), the Trustee shall act as successor servicer immediately upon delivery of a notice of
termination to the Master Servicer and shall use commercially reasonable efforts within ninety (90) days of assuming the duties
of the Master Servicer, either to satisfy the conditions of Section 8.22(b) hereof or to transfer the duties of the
Master Servicer to a successor servicer who has satisfied such conditions. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments,
and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator in effecting the termination of
the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying
Mortgagors of the assignment of the servicing function and providing the


 






    	291



    	 



    

 


Trustee all documents and records in electronic or other
form reasonably requested by it to enable the successor servicer designated by the Trustee to assume the Master Servicer’s
functions hereunder and to effect the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time
be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained or
thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.


 


(c)          If
(i) the Master Servicer receives a written notice of termination (A) pursuant to clause (ii) of the first
(1st) paragraph of Section 8.28 relating solely to a Servicer Termination Event set forth in clause (viii)
or (ix) of Section 8.28(a) or (B) pursuant to Section 8.21 and (ii) the Master Servicer
provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after receipt
of such written notice of termination, then the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal”
materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement
from at least three (3) but no more than five (5) Qualified Bidders or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then
from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders. At the Trustee’s request, the Master Servicer shall
supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible if less
than three (3) Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement.


 


(d)          Each
bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder, as a condition of its bid, to (i) enter into this Agreement as successor
master servicer and (ii) agree to be bound by the terms hereof, not later than sixty (60) days after termination of the Master
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash bid (or such other Qualified Bidder as
the Master Servicer may direct) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor master servicer hereunder. The
Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor master servicer pursuant to the terms hereof,
and in connection therewith to deliver the amount of the Successful Bidder’s cash bid to the Trustee or its designee by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Trustee or its designee no later than 10:00 a.m. New
York City time on the date specified for the assignment and assumption of the servicing rights hereunder.


 


(e)          Upon
the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder and receipt of such cash bid,
the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Master Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the
Successful Bidder (net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing)
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the terminated Master Servicer no later than 1:00 p.m.
New York City time on the date specified for the assignment and assumption of the servicing rights hereunder.


 


(f)          If
the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within thirty (30) days after the termination
of the Master Servicer hereunder or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 30-day period, the Trustee shall have no further
obligations under Section 8.29(c) and may act or may select another successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder
in accordance with Section 8.29(b).


 






    	292



    	 



    

 


(g)          If
the Master Servicer is terminated as a result of an event described in Section 8.28(a)(viii), then the Master Servicer
shall have the right to enter into a sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement with the successor master servicer
with respect to all applicable Mortgage Loans that are not subject to a sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement,
if the Master Servicer (i) is acting as primary servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by DBRS and
a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by Moody’s, in each case within the twelve (12) month period prior
to the date of determination, and neither DBRS nor Moody’s has downgraded or withdrawn the then current rating on any class
of commercial mortgage securities or placed any class of commercial mortgage securities on watch citing the continuation of such
primary servicer as primary servicer of such commercial mortgage securities as the sole or material reason for such downgrade
or withdrawal (or placement on watch) or, in the case of each such Rating Agency, be otherwise acceptable to such Rating Agency
as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation, and (ii) has a master servicer rating of at least “CMS3” from Fitch
or, in the case of each such Rating Agency, be otherwise acceptable to such Rating Agency as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation;.


 


(h)          If
the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 8.29 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer,
it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master
Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the
resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 8.29, it may reduce
the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint
a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 8.29.


 


Section
8.30     Certain
Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.


 


(a)          If
a Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Seller”)
repurchases, or substitutes for, the Mortgage Note(s) (as such term is defined in this Section 8.30(a)) (a “Repurchased
Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Seller of such Joint Mortgage
Loan does not repurchase, or substitute for, the Mortgage Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor,
the provisions of this Section 8.30 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 14.3(i), of any amendment
to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each 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 8.30 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
or, by way of substitution, otherwise removed from the Trust and at least one other Mortgage Note related to such Joint Mortgage
Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included
in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 8.30, Section 14.3(i) and Section 14.9 only, “Mortgage
Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents
the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to
such promissory notes.


 


(b)          Custody
of and record title under the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan shall be held exclusively
by the Custodian (on


 






    	293



    	 



    

 


behalf of the Trustee) as provided under this Agreement, except that the Repurchasing Seller shall hold and
retain title to its original Repurchased Note and any related endorsements thereof.


 


(i)          All
of the Mortgage Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Mortgage Note
shall have priority or preference over any other portion of the other Mortgage Notes or security therefor. Payments
from the related Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any Late Fees) or any other amounts received with respect to each Mortgage
Note shall be collected as provided in this Agreement by the Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer
pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest (as defined in Section
8.30(b)(ii)), subject to Section 8.30(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 Seller and remitted (net of its pro rata share
of any Master Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Trust Advisor Fees and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Seller or its designee by the Master Servicer on each Distribution Date pursuant
to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this Agreement, subject
to Section 8.30(b)(ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 8.30 applies becomes an REO Loan, payments
or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt
by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest,
subject to Section 8.30(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reductions calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to
this Section 8.30 shall be allocated to each related Mortgage Note pro rata based upon the respective Unpaid
Principal Balances thereof.


 


(ii)         If
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due
under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall receive from the Master Servicer
an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and
shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable
Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, Trust Advisor Expenses, 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 Seller.
For purposes of Section 8.30(b)(i), this Section 8.30(b)(ii) and Section 8.30(g), “Repurchased Percentage
Interest” shall mean the percentage interest of the applicable Seller in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan.


 


(iii)        A
Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 8.30 applies shall be serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing
Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard
and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were a Loan Pair, (B) the related Mortgage Note(s)
not repurchased were (1) a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and (2) the only Mortgage Loan that is part of such Joint Mortgage
Loan, and (C) the related


 






    	294



    	 



    

 


Repurchased Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. No Repurchasing Seller shall be permitted to terminate
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor as servicer, special servicer or trust advisor, respectively, of
the related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing
Seller in accordance with this Agreement.


 


(iv)        The
related Repurchasing Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Companion Loan noteholder on a pari passu
basis. Funds collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes
shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to holders of Loan Pairs that are pari passu
in right of payment. Compensation shall be paid to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor with respect
to each Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement as if each such Mortgage Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. None of the
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to any Repurchased
Note or, if no related Mortgage Note is part of the Trust, a Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as
otherwise specified herein, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with respect to any
Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Seller any document as is required to be delivered to a holder
of a Serviced Companion Loan hereunder.


 


(c)          If
any non-repurchased Mortgage Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 8.30 applies is considered a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then any related Repurchased Note
shall also be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased
Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions
set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee payable to
the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan.


 


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


 






    	295



    	 



    

 


(e)          Subject
to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative
and any consultation rights of the Trust Advisor), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the
holders of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all
decisions and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable Mortgage Loan documents
as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and principal of, capitalize
interest on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related Mortgagor
on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 8.30,
without the consent of the related Repurchasing Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a
Serviced Companion Loan.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(i)          The
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement,
exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Seller as a holder
of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements,


 






    	296



    	 



    

 


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 Seller agrees to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement related to the applicable Joint Mortgage
Loan; provided that such Repurchasing Seller shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and further provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
without the written consent of the applicable Repurchasing Seller, shall not initiate any action in the name of such Repurchasing
Seller without indicating its representative capacity or take any action with the intent to cause and that actually causes, such
Repurchasing Seller to be registered to do business in any state.


 


Pursuant
to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the applicable Repurchasing Seller is required to deliver to the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the 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.


 


ARTICLE
IX

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF

SPECIALLY SERVICED MORTGAGE LOANS BY SPECIAL SERVICER


 


Section
9.1     Duties
of Special Servicer.


 


(a)          Subject
to the express provisions of this Agreement, for and on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders as a
whole, and, solely as it relates to any A/B Whole Loan, for the benefit of the holder of the related Serviced B Note and, solely
as it relates to any Loan Pair, for the benefit of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall
service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and manage the related REO Properties and, with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other
than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and related Non-Serviced Companion Loans), Loan Pairs and A/B Whole Loans, process (and its consent
shall be required for all) Major Decisions and Special Servicer Decisions (provided, that the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer may mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process, and obtain the prior written consent of the Special Servicer
with respect to, any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision with respect to non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), in all
cases in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this


 






    	297



    	 



    

 


Agreement. Certain of the provisions of this Article
IX make explicit reference to their applicability to Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced B Note;
notwithstanding such explicit references, references in this Article IX to “Mortgage Loans” shall be construed,
unless otherwise specified, to refer also to such Serviced B Note and such Serviced Companion Loan (but any other terms that are
defined in Article I and used in this Article IX shall be construed according to such definitions without regard
to this sentence).


 


(b)          Subject
to Section 5.4(e), the Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer and provide the Master Servicer with the
information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, in writing, to the extent required to allow the Master Servicer to perform
its servicing obligations with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans hereunder. Except with respect to Major Decisions
and Special Servicer Decisions, the Special Servicer’s obligations with respect to the servicing of any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and any related REO Properties shall terminate when such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a Rehabilitated
Mortgage Loan, unless and until another Servicing Transfer Event with respect to such Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan occurs.


 


(c)          The
Special Servicer shall send a written notice to the Master Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate
Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period),
any holder of a related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan and the Certificate Administrator within five (5) Business
Days after becoming aware that a Mortgage Loan has become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, which notice shall identify the applicable
Mortgage Loan. Upon the receipt of such notice by the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, such Mortgage Loan shall
constitute a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan and will be serviced by the Master Servicer.


 


(d)          Upon
the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to a Mortgage Loan and upon the reasonable request of the Special Servicer,
the Master Servicer shall mark its records for such Mortgage Loan to cause any monthly statements for amounts due thereon to be
sent thereafter to the Special Servicer rather than the related Mortgagor. Upon receipt of any such monthly statement, the Special
Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days, advise the Master Servicer of any changes to be made, and return the monthly statement
to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall thereafter promptly send the corrected monthly statement to the Mortgagor. If
a Mortgage Loan becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall resume sending the monthly statements to the
Mortgagor as it did before such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


(e)          (i)
All amounts collected by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan that
has become an REO Mortgage Loan and a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan) shall
be deposited in the Collection Account (or applicable sub-account thereof), and (ii) all amounts collected by the Master Servicer
with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced B Note or a Serviced Companion Loan shall be deposited in
the related Custodial Account. The Master Servicer shall within three (3) Business Days after receipt of any such payment, notify
the Special Servicer of the receipt of such payment and the amount thereof. The Special Servicer shall, within two (2) Business
Days


 




    	298



    	 



    

 




 


thereafter, instruct the Master Servicer in writing how to apply such payment (with the application of such payments to be
made in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents (including the related Intercreditor Agreement, if any) or in accordance
with this Agreement, as applicable). The Special Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms
of this Agreement to collect all special servicing fees, liquidation fees and workout fees called for under the terms and provisions
of the Mortgage Loan documents for each applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


(f)          After
the occurrence of any Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) if
it is the subject of any Environmental Insurance Policy, (i) the Special Servicer shall monitor the dates by which any claim
must be made or action must be taken under such Environmental Insurance Policy to achieve the payment of all amounts thereunder
to which the Trust is entitled if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under such Environmental
Insurance Policy and (ii) if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of such an event with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
the Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions
of the related Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust
is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection
with any such claim shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer (of if applicable, the Special Servicer) as a Servicing
Advance. All extraordinary expenses (but not ordinary and routine or anticipated expenses) incurred by the Special Servicer in
fulfilling its obligations under this Section 9.1(f) shall be paid by the Trust.


 


Section
9.2     Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance Policy of Special Servicer. The Special Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Servicer Fidelity Bond
and a Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. The Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and Servicer Fidelity
Bond shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer (unless the Special Servicer self-insures as provided below) and be in form and amount
consistent with the Servicing Standard. If any such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases
to be in effect, the Special Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the
requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement. So long as the long-term debt obligation or deposit account rating
of the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) is not less than “A (low)” as rated by DBRS (or, if not rated by
DBRS, an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least two other NRSROs (which may include S&P, Fitch and/or Moody’s) (or
an A.M. Best equivalent)), not less than “A3” as rated by Moody’s and not less than “A-” as rated
by Fitch (or an A.M. Best equivalent)), the Special Servicer may self-insure for the Servicer Fidelity Bond and the Servicer Errors
and Omissions Insurance Policy.


 


Section
9.3     Special Servicer General Powers
and Duties.


 


(a)          Subject
to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement (and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject to the servicing
of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Special Servicer), including Section 10.3, the Special


 






    	299



    	 



    

 


Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered when
the Special Servicer believes it appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to take any and all the actions with respect
to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (when processing Major Decisions or Special Servicer Decisions in respect thereof) and
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, in each case that the Master Servicer may perform as set forth in Section 8.3(a),
including (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself or the Trust (or holder of a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion
Loan, as applicable), any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (when processing Major Decisions or Special
Servicer Decisions in respect thereof) and the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and with respect to the related REO Properties
and (ii) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of any Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall execute on the Closing Date a Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit O-2 (or such other
form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Special Servicer) hereto and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Trustee
and Special Servicer and shall furnish the Special Servicer from time to time, upon a written request from a Special Servicing
Officer, with any additional powers of attorney of the Trustee, in the form of Exhibit O-2 (or such other form as mutually
agreed to by the Trustee and the Special Servicer) with such additions as may be reasonably necessary to empower the Special Servicer
to take such actions as it determines to be reasonably necessary to comply with its servicing, administrative and management duties
hereunder, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such other documents as a Special Servicing
Officer may request in writing, that are necessary or appropriate to enable the Special Servicer to service, administer and manage
the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case as the Special Servicer determines is in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement; provided, that, the Special Servicer shall
not (i) take any action with the intent to cause and that actually causes the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state;
and (ii) without the Trustee’s prior written consent initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s
name without indicating the Special Servicer’s representative capacity; provided, further, that the preceding
clause (ii) shall not apply to the initiation of actions relating to a Mortgage Loan that the Special Servicer is
servicing pursuant to its respective duties herein (in which case the Special Servicer shall give prompt prior notice to the Trustee
of the initiation of such action). Upon receipt of any such advice from the Trustee, the Special Servicer shall take such action
in the name of such Person or Persons, in trust for the Trust (or holder of a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable),
as shall be consistent with the Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Trustee. Such Person or Persons shall acknowledge in writing
that such action is being taken by the Special Servicer in the name of the Trust (or holder of a Serviced B Note or the Serviced
Companion Loan, if applicable). In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be an independent contractor
and shall not, except in those instances where it is, after notice to the Trustee as provided above, taking action in the name
of the Trust (or holder of a Serviced B Note or the Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), be deemed to be the agent of the
Trust (or holder of a Serviced B Note or the Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable). If the Special Servicer receives any notice
of a suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of Wilmington Trust, National Association, solely in its capacity as Trustee,
then the Special Servicer shall promptly forward a copy of same to the Trustee. The Special Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee
for any loss, liability or reasonable expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any director, officer,


 






    	300



    	 



    

 


employee, agent or Controlling Person of it or its affiliates in connection with any negligent or intentional misuse of the foregoing
powers of attorney furnished to the Special Servicer by the Trustee. Such indemnification shall survive the resignation or termination
of the Special Servicer hereunder, the resignation or termination of the Trustee and the termination of this Agreement. The Special
Servicer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any act or omission of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer
or the Depositor that is not attributable to the failure of the Special Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder. The Special
Servicer may conclusively rely on any advice of counsel rendered in a Nondisqualification Opinion.


 


(b)          In
servicing and administering the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, managing any related REO Properties and processing Major Decisions
and Special Servicer Decisions, the Special Servicer shall employ procedures consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Special
Servicer shall inspect, or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as soon
as practicable after the subject Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and thereafter at least every twelve
(12) months until such Mortgage Loan ceases to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall provide to the
Master Servicer (who shall provide, solely as it relates to any A/B Whole Loan, to the holder of the related Serviced B Note,
and solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, to the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan), the Certificate Administrator,
the 17g-5 Information Provider and, during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, the Controlling
Class Representative copies of the Inspection Reports relating to such inspections as soon as practicable after the completion
of any inspection. Any cost of any inspection performed under this Section 9.3(b) shall be an expense of the Trust and
shall be treated as a Servicing Advance or as an Additional Trust Expense if such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be liable for its failure to prepare the reports required
pursuant to this Section 9.3(b) with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property if such failure is
caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its obligations or provide information to the Special Servicer as required
by this Agreement.


 


(c)          Pursuant
to the related Intercreditor Agreement, each owner of a Serviced Companion Loan has agreed that the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer are authorized and obligated to service and administer such Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(d)          Pursuant
to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the owners of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan have agreed that
such owner’s rights in, to and under such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are subject to the servicing and all other rights of
the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer and such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer are authorized and obligated to service
and administer such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Special Servicer’s obligations
and responsibilities hereunder and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are limited
by and subject to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan


 






    	301



    	 



    

 


Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect thereto
under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Special Servicer shall take such actions as
it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer including, but not limited to, delivering
appropriate Requests for Release to the Trustee and Custodian (if any) in order to deliver any portion of the related Mortgage
File to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer or applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer under
the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, (i) during any Subordinate
Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to the rights of
the “Non-Directing Holder” (or similar term) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) at no time shall the
Trust Advisor be entitled to the rights of the “Non-Directing Holder” (or similar term) under the related Intercreditor
Agreement.


 


Section
9.4     Sub-Servicers.
The Special Servicer shall have the right to use a Sub-Servicer on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in Section 8.4
for a Sub-Servicer of the Master Servicer, except as set forth in this Section 9.4. The Special Servicer shall notify
the Master Servicer, Trustee, Custodian and solely as it relates to any A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced B Note,
and solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, of the appointment of any Sub-Servicer
of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for the payment of compensation to any Sub-Servicer
appointed by it. The Special Servicer shall not enter into future sub-servicing contracts unless it has provided to each Rating
Agency a Rating Agency Communication with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
(i) the Special Servicer shall not enter into any sub-servicing agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan that provides for
the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations hereunder, without the consent of the Applicable Control Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld), except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply
with applicable regulatory requirements, (ii) no sub-servicer shall be permitted under any sub-servicing agreement to make material
servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage
Loan documents, without the consent of the Special Servicer and (iii) after the Closing Date, if and for so long as the Trust
or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Special Servicer, shall not enter into a sub-servicing agreement
with any Prohibited Party.


 


Section
9.5     “Due-on-Sale”
Clauses; Assignment and Assumption Agreements; Modifications of Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans; Due-on-Encumbrance Clauses. Subject to Section 10.3, the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor
Agreement (in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair) and the limitations of Section 12.3, the Special Servicer
shall have the following duties and rights:


 






    	302



    	 



    




 


(a)           If
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms:


 


(i)          provides
that such Specially Serviced Mortgage 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 ownership interest in the related Mortgagor, or


 


(ii)         provides
that such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan may not be assumed, or ownership interests in the related Mortgagor may not be transferred,
without the consent of the related Mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer;


 


then,
the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall, subject to Section 10.3 and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or
Loan Pair, the related Intercreditor Agreement, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions, take such
actions as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and may waive
or enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage; provided, that the Special Servicer
provides each Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication prior to waiving the effect of such provision. In connection with
each such Rating Agency Communication, the Special Servicer shall prepare and, subject to Section 5.7, deliver to
the Rating Agencies a memorandum outlining its analysis and recommendation in accordance with the Servicing Standard, together
with copies of all relevant documentation. As to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that contains a provision in the nature
of a “due-on-sale” clause, the Special Servicer shall have the rights and duties set forth in Section 8.7.


 


In
connection with the waiver of any due-on-sale clause under a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 9.5(a),
the Special Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an assignment and assumption agreement from or with the Person to whom
such property has been or is about to be conveyed, and/or to release the original Mortgagor from liability upon the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and substitute the new Mortgagor as obligor thereon; provided that, except as otherwise permitted
by Section 9.5(c), any such assignment and assumption or substitution agreement shall contain no terms that could
result in an Adverse REMIC Event. To the extent permitted by law, the Special Servicer shall enter into an assumption or substitution
agreement that is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (either as a matter of right or upon satisfaction of specified
conditions) and shall otherwise enter into any assumption or substitution agreement only if the credit status of the prospective
new mortgagor and the underwriting of the new mortgagor is in compliance with the Special Servicer’s regular commercial
mortgage origination or servicing standards and criteria. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any such assignment
and assumption or substitution agreement and the Special Servicer shall forward to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf)
the original of such agreement (and to the Master Servicer, a copy thereof), which original shall be added by the Custodian (on
the Trustee’s behalf) to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File
to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.


 


(b)          In
connection with any assignment and assumption of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, in no event shall the Special Servicer consent
to the creation of any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on a parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage unless


 






    	303



    	 



    

 


it is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions and the Special Servicer has received the consent of the
Applicable Control Party. Nothing in this Section 9.5 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the
mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assignment and assumption of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, any sale or other
transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.


 


(c)          Subject
to the Servicing Standard, the rights and duties of the Master Servicer under Section 8.18 and any rights of the Controlling
Class Representative set forth in Section 10.3, the Special Servicer may enter into any modification, waiver or amendment
(including, without limitation, the substitution or release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms
of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including any modification, waiver or amendment to (i) reduce the amounts owing
under any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by forgiving principal, accrued interest and/or any Prepayment Premium, (ii) reduce
the amount of the Scheduled Payment on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including by way of a reduction in the related Mortgage
Rate, (iii) forbear in the enforcement of any right granted under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage relating to a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, (iv) extend the Maturity Date of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or (v) accept a principal prepayment
on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan during any period during which voluntary Principal Prepayments are prohibited, provided,
in the case of any such modification, waiver or amendment, that (A) the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable,
(B) in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, such modification, waiver or amendment would result in a recovery
to Certificateholders, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the holder of any related Serviced B Note (as a collective
whole) on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) that would be equal to or greater than
the recovery that would result if the applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan were liquidated, as set forth in writing delivered
by the Special Servicer to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, (C) such modification, waiver or amendment would
not cause an Adverse REMIC Event or Adverse Grantor Trust Event (including with respect to any securities evidencing interests
in any A Note or any B Note) to occur, and (D) if notice to, receipt of consent, approval or direction from, or
consultation with the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation
Period) or any related Loan-Specific Directing Holder (with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair as to which the holder
of any related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the related Loan-Specific Directing
Holder), as applicable, is required in connection with such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to Section 10.3
or any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer has made such notice, obtained (or been deemed to have
obtained) such consent, approval or direction or completed such consultation, as the case may be. The Special Servicer, with respect
to any Serviced B Note and any Serviced Companion Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall notify the holder of
the Serviced B Note and the Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, of any modification of the monthly payments of an A/B Whole
Loan or a Loan Pair, as the case may be, and such monthly payments shall be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor
Agreement.


 






    	304



    	 



    

 


In
no event, however, shall the Special Servicer (i) extend the Maturity Date of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan beyond a date
that is five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date or (ii) if the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is secured
by a ground lease, extend the Maturity Date of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan unless the Special Servicer gives due consideration
to the remaining term of such ground lease. The Special Servicer shall not extend the Maturity Date of any Mortgage Loan secured
by a Mortgaged Property covered by a group secured creditor impaired property environmental insurance policy for more than five
(5) years beyond such Mortgage Loan’s Maturity Date unless a new Phase I Environmental Report indicates that there is no
environmental condition or the Mortgagor obtains, at its expense, an extension of such policy on the same material terms and conditions
to cover the period through five (5) years past the extended Maturity Date, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan is secured
by a ground lease, the Special Servicer shall give due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease.


 


The
determination of the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (B) of the proviso to the first (1st) paragraph
of this Section 9.5(c) shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate certifying the information in the proviso
to the first (1st) paragraph under this subsection (c).


 


(d)          If
the Special Servicer intends to permit a Mortgagor to substitute collateral for all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property pursuant
to Section 9.5(c) or pledge additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 9.5(c), if
the security interest of the Trust, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or the holder of any Serviced B Note in such collateral
would be perfected by possession, or if such collateral requires special care or protection, then prior to agreeing to such substitution
or addition of collateral, the Special Servicer shall make arrangements for such possession, care or protection, and prior to
agreeing to such substitution or addition of collateral (or such arrangement for possession, care or protection) shall obtain
the prior written consent of the Trustee with respect thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned);
provided, that the Trustee shall not be required (but has the option) to consent to any substitution or addition of collateral
or to hold any such collateral which will require the Trustee to undertake any additional duties or obligations or incur any additional
expense. The Special Servicer shall provide each Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication in connection with any consent
to the substitution of collateral for any portion of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 9.5(c).


 


(e)          The
Special Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Master Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control
Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period), the Trustee,
the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 5.7, the Rating Agencies (and, solely with respect
to an A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced B Note and solely with respect to a Loan Pair, the holder of the related
Serviced Companion Loan) a notice, specifying any assignments and assumptions, modifications, waivers or amendments executed pursuant
to this Section 9.5, such notice identifying the affected Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall set
forth the reasons for such waiver, modification, or amendment (including, but not limited to, information such as related income
and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections, and an internal or external appraisal performed in
accordance with MAI standards and methodologies (and, if done


 






    	305



    	 



    

 


externally, the cost of such appraisal shall be recoverable as a
Servicing Advance subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof)). The Special Servicer shall also deliver to the Custodian
(on the Trustee’s behalf), for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to
such modification, waiver or amendment promptly following the execution thereof (with a copy thereof to the Master Servicer).


 


(f)           The
Special Servicer may require, in its discretion (unless prohibited or otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents),
as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for any consent, modification, waiver or amendment, that such Mortgagor
pay a reasonable and customary modification fee to the extent permitted by law. No fee described in this Section shall be collected
by the Special Servicer from the Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification,
waiver or amendment of the Mortgage Loan 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 Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b).
Subject to the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to
collect any modification fees and other expenses connected with a permitted modification of a Mortgage Loan from the Mortgagor.
The inability of the Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses of a proposed modification shall not impair the right of the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Custodian or the Trustee to be reimbursed by the Trust for such expenses (including any cost
and expense associated with any Opinion of Counsel).


 


(g)           The
Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer (to the extent required by, and as provided in, Section 8.7)
in connection with assignments and assumptions of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. As to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, the Special Servicer shall have the
rights and duties set forth in Section 8.7.


 


(h)           If
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, which
by its terms:


 


(i)          provides
that such Mortgage 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 a lien on an ownership interest in 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 a lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor,


 


then,
for so long as such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee
as the mortgagee of record, shall exercise (or, subject to Section 10.3 and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or
the related Loan Pair, the related Intercreditor Agreement, waive its right to exercise) any right it may have with respect to
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon, or (y) to withhold its consent to the
creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. Prior to waiving
the effect of such provision with respect to such


 






    	306



    	 



    

 


Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide each Rating
Agency with a Rating Agency Communication regarding such waiver.


 


Section
9.6     Custodian
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.


 


(a)          Upon
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Special Servicer of a notification
that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, or the complete defeasance of a Mortgage Loan,
the Special Servicer will immediately notify the Master Servicer. The Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, whether an instrument of satisfaction shall be delivered and, if the Special Servicer determines that such
instrument should be delivered, the Special Servicer shall deliver written approval of such delivery to the Master Servicer.


 


(b)          From
time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the management of
the related REO Property and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Trustee shall execute or cause to be executed such
documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by a Special Servicing Officer (in form reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee) and as are necessary for such purposes. The Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall, upon request of the Special
Servicer and delivery to the Trustee and Custodian of a request for release signed by a Special Servicing Officer substantially
in the form of Exhibit C, release the related Mortgage File to the Special Servicer.


 


(c)          The
Special Servicer shall, with respect to any Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, deliver to the Master Servicer copies of all documents
and instruments in the possession of the Special Servicer related to such Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan. Prior to the transfer of
servicing with respect to any Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the
Special Servicer shall notify, in writing, the Mortgagor under such Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan of such transfer.


 


(d)          With
respect to any Non-Serviced Loan Combination, if pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Other Companion Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such Non-Serviced Loan Combination, the related
Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note, then the Custodian shall
release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to such party or its designee and shall retain a copy thereof, subject
to the execution of an agreement by such party to safeguard such original Mortgage Note and to return such original Mortgage Note
promptly when no longer required by such party for such purpose.


 


(e)          With
respect to any Loan Pair, if pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such
Loan Pair, the Special Servicer requests from the related Other Custodian delivery to it of the original mortgage note evidencing
the related Serviced Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall agree to safeguard such original mortgage note and to return such
original mortgage note promptly when no longer required by it for such purpose.

Section
9.7     Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Special Servicer To Be Held
for the Trustee.


 


(a)          The
Special Servicer shall transmit to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) such documents and instruments coming into the
possession of the Special Servicer as from time to time are required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Custodian (on
the Trustee’s behalf). Any funds received by the Special Servicer in respect of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
any REO Property or which otherwise are collected by the Special Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds in respect of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property shall be transmitted to the Master Servicer within
one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds for deposit into the Collection Account (provided, that to
the extent any of the foregoing amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any given Business Day, the Special Servicer
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such amounts to the Master Servicer within one (1) Business Day of receipt
of such amounts but, in any event, the Special Servicer shall remit such amounts to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business
Days of receipt of such amounts), except that if such amounts relate to REO Income, they shall be deposited in the REO Account.
Subject to the confidentiality provisions and restrictions on release of Privileged Information contained in this Agreement, the
Special Servicer shall provide access to information and documentation regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate
Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period),
and their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable written request and during normal business hours, provided
that the Special Servicer shall not be required to take any action or provide any information that the Special Servicer determines
will result in any material cost or expense to which it is not entitled to reimbursement hereunder or will result in any material
liability for which it is not indemnified hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator
and the Custodian shall be entitled to receive from the Special Servicer all such information in the Special Servicer’s
possession as the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall reasonably require to perform their respective
duties hereunder. In fulfilling such a request, the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for determining whether such information
is sufficient for the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s,
the Controlling Class Representative’s or the Trust Advisor’s purposes.


 


(b)          The
Special Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Trust (and/or the holder of any related Serviced B Note (if not included in the
Trust) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan, if an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair is involved) owns the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and all Mortgage Files representing such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and all funds now or hereafter held by, or under
the control of, the Special Servicer that are collected by the Special Servicer in connection with the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans (but excluding any Special Servicer Compensation and all other amounts to which the Special Servicer is entitled hereunder);
and the Special Servicer agrees that all documents or instruments constituting part of the Mortgage Files, and such funds relating
to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of,
the Special Servicer, shall be held by the Special Servicer for and on behalf of the


 






    	308



    	 



    

 


Trust (and/or the holder of the related Serviced
B Note (if not included in the Trust) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan, if an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair is involved).


 


(c)           The
Special Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, or any funds that
are required to be deposited in any REO Account to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other
encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
or any funds, collected on, or in connection with, a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


Section

Warranties and Covenants of the Special Servicer.


 


(a)           The
Special Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with each other party to this Agreement, as of the Closing Date:


 


(i)          (A)
with respect to LNR Partners, LLC, the Special Servicer is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a limited
liability company under the laws of the State of Florida, and shall be and thereafter remain in compliance with the laws of each
State in which any Mortgaged Property (including any REO Property) which is, or is related to, a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan

Servicer, the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a national banking

hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;


 


(ii)         the
Special Servicer has the full power and authority to execute, deliver, perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions
and obligations contemplated by this Agreement. The Special Servicer has duly and validly authorized the execution, delivery and
performance by it of this Agreement and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Special Servicer; and this
Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties to this Agreement, evidences the
valid and binding obligation of the Special Servicer enforceable against the Special Servicer in accordance with its terms subject,
as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, conservatorship, moratorium, receivership
and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally (and, to the extent applicable, the rights of creditors of

is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and to matters of public policy with respect to indemnification or contribution
as to violations of securities laws;


 






    	309



    	 



    

 


(iii)        the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Special Servicer, the consummation by the Special Servicer of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance by the Special Servicer with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
will not (1) conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms of
any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule,
regulation, or judgment, decree or order applicable to it of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental
body having jurisdiction over it, in any manner that materially and adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement or (2) result in a breach of any term or provision of its organizational documents;


 


(iv)        no
litigation is pending or, to the best of the Special Servicer’s knowledge, threatened, against it, the outcome of which,

(v)         no

or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, it has obtained the same or will obtain the same prior to
the time necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, except to the extent in the case of performance, that
its failure to be qualified to do business or licensed in one or more states does not materially and adversely affect the performance
by it of its obligations hereunder; and

Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Advisor.


 


Section
9.9     Standard
Hazard, Flood and Commercial General Liability Policies.


 


(a)           For
all REO Properties (other than REO Properties relating to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain with a Qualified Insurer (A) a Standard Hazard Insurance Policy
(that, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage so require,


 






    	310



    	 



    

 


contains no exclusion as to any
Act or Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002) which does not provide for reduction due to
depreciation in an amount which is not less than the full replacement cost of the improvements of such REO Property or in an amount
not less than the Unpaid Principal Balance plus all unpaid interest and the cumulative amount of Servicing Advances (plus Advance
Interest) made with respect to such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced B Note and Serviced Companion Loan, whichever is less,
but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (B) any other insurance
coverage for such REO Property that the related Mortgagor was required to maintain for the related Mortgaged Property under the
related Mortgage, subject, as to earthquake insurance, to the second (2nd) sentence following this sentence. If the
improvements to the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as having special flood hazards (and flood insurance has been made available), the Special Servicer shall maintain a flood insurance
policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage
equal to the lesser of the then Unpaid Principal Balance of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and unpaid Advances (plus Advance
Interest) and the maximum insurance coverage required under such current guidelines. It is understood and agreed that the Special
Servicer has no obligation to obtain earthquake or other additional insurance on REO Property, except as required by law but at
its sole option and at the Trust’s expense, it (if required at origination and is available at commercially reasonable rates)
may obtain such earthquake insurance. The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard,
to obtain a commercial general liability policy for all REO Properties (other than any REO Property relating to any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan). The Special Servicer shall, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special
Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, use its reasonable
efforts to maintain a Rent Loss Policy covering revenues for a period of at least twelve months and a commercial general liability
policy with coverage comparable to prudent lending requirements in an amount not less than $1 million per occurrence. All applicable
policies required to be maintained by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.9(a) shall name the Trustee
as loss payee and be endorsed with a standard mortgagee clause. The costs of such insurance shall be a Servicing Advance, subject
to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.


 


(b)          Any
amounts collected by the Special Servicer under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 9.9 (other
than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the REO Property) shall be deposited into the applicable REO Account
for further distribution to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.10. Any cost incurred in maintaining the insurance
required hereby for any REO Property (other than any REO Property relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall be a Servicing
Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
the above, the Special Servicer shall not be required in any event to maintain or obtain any insurance coverage beyond what is
available at commercially reasonable rates or that is not of the type previously required by the Mortgage Loan documents; provided
that, subject to Section 10.3, and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special
Servicer shall maintain insurance against property damages resulting from terrorism or similar acts if the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan documents so require


 






    	311



    	 



    

 


unless the Special Servicer determines that the failure to maintain such insurance would have
been an Acceptable Insurance Default under the related Mortgage Loan.


 


(d)          The
Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in this Section 9.9 either
(i) if the Special Servicer shall have obtained and maintained a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring
against hazard losses on all of the applicable Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced B Note serviced by
it, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those
commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers consistent with the Servicing Standard, and provided that
such policy is obtained from a Qualified Insurer or (ii) if the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent), for so long as
the rating of such Person’s long-term debt obligations or long-term deposit accounts are not less than “A(low)”
as rated by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least two other NRSROs (which may include S&P,
Fitch and/or Moody’s) (or an A.M. Best equivalent)), not less than “A3” as rated by Moody’s and not less
than “A” as rated by Fitch, self-insures for its obligations as set forth in this Section 9.9. If the
Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and Serviced B Note to be covered by such a master force
placed or blanket insurance policy, the incremental cost of such insurance allocable to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion
Loan and Serviced B Note (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgage
Loan is then covered thereby), if not borne by the related Mortgagor, shall be paid by the Special Servicer, at its option, or
by the Master Servicer, in either case as a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. If
such policy contains a deductible clause, the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with this Section 9.9 and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by
such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under such master force placed or blanket insurance
policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that such deductible exceeds (i) the deductible under the related
Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair or (ii) if there is no deductible limitation required under the Mortgage Loan,
A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the deductible amount with respect to insurance policies generally available on properties similar
to the related Mortgaged Property which is consistent with the Servicing Standard, and deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate describing the calculation of such amount. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced B Note, the Special Servicer agrees to present, on its behalf and
on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such master force placed or blanket insurance policy.


 


Section
9.10     Presentment
of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Special Servicer will prepare and present or cause to be prepared and presented on behalf
of the Trustee all claims under the Insurance Policies with respect to REO Property (other than any REO Property relating to any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s
claim) as shall be necessary to recover under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Special Servicer in respect of such
policies shall be promptly remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, upon receipt of properly identified
funds, except for any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the applicable REO Property in accordance
with the Servicing Standard. Any extraordinary expenses (but not ordinary and routine or anticipated


 






    	312



    	 



    

 


expenses) incurred by the
Special Servicer in fulfilling its obligations under this Section 9.10 shall be paid by the Trust.


 


Section
9.11     Compensation
to the Special Servicer.


 


(a)          As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to (i) the Special Servicing Fee, (ii) the
Liquidation Fee and (iii) the Workout Fee. Such amounts, if any, collected by the Special Servicer from the related Mortgagor
shall be transferred by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof (provided,
that to the extent any of the foregoing amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any given Business Day, the Special
Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such amounts to the Master Servicer within one (1) Business Day of
receipt of such amounts but, in any event, the Special Servicer shall remit such amounts to the Master Servicer within two (2)
Business Days of receipt of such amounts), and deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. The Special Servicer
shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee from the Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or REO Property. With respect to each REO Mortgage Loan that is a successor to a Mortgage Loan secured by two or
more Mortgaged Properties, the reference to “REO Property” in the preceding sentence shall be construed on a property-by-property
basis to refer separately to the acquired real property that is a successor to each of such Mortgaged Properties, thereby entitling
the Special Servicer to a Liquidation Fee from the Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with a final disposition of, and
Condemnation Proceeds received in connection with, each such acquired property as the Liquidation Proceeds related to that property
are received. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional special servicing compensation of an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Excess relating to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that have, during any
Collection Period, been the subject of voluntary Principal Prepayments not from Liquidation Proceeds or from modifications of
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for each Distribution Date over the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred with respect
to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans during the same Collection Period. If the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns,
the Special Servicer shall retain the right (and the applicable successor Special Servicer shall not have the right) to receive
(until the related Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or until the related Mortgaged Property becomes an
REO Property) any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of (i) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans serviced by the Special
Servicer that became Rehabilitated Mortgage Loans during the period that it acted as Special Servicer and that were still Rehabilitated
Mortgage Loans at the time of such termination or resignation and (ii) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the Special
Servicer has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions causing any such Mortgage Loan to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
such that the Mortgage Loan would be deemed a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan but for the related Mortgagor having not yet made, as
of the date of such termination or resignation, three (3) timely Scheduled Payments required by the terms of the workout; provided
that in either case no other event has occurred as of the time of the Special Servicer’s termination or resignation
that would otherwise cause such Mortgage Loan to again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


(b)          The
Special Servicer shall be entitled to cause the Master Servicer to withdraw (i) from the Collection Account, the Special
Servicer Compensation in respect of each


 






    	313



    	 



    

 


Mortgage Loan (but not a Serviced B Note) and (ii) from any Custodial Account, the
Special Servicer Compensation to the extent related solely to the related Serviced Companion Loan and/or Serviced B Note, as applicable,
in each case in the time and manner set forth in Section 5.2 of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall be required
to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary (and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, Loan Pair or Non-Serviced Loan Combination, subject to
any provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement relating to the allocation of the amounts set forth below), the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the following items as additional special servicing compensation:


 


(i)          (x)
100% of Unallocable Modification Fees actually collected during the related Collection Period with respect to any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans (other than any REO Mortgage Loan that was a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); and (y) 50% of
Unallocable Modification Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
in connection with a consent, approval or other action that (A) is processed by the Special Servicer or (B) the Master Servicer
is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under
the other provisions of this Agreement;


 


(ii)         After
application as set forth in Section 5.2(b) hereof, (x) 100% of Allocable Modification Fees (that constitute Excess
Modification Fees) actually collected during the related Collection Period with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
or REO Mortgage Loans (other than any REO Mortgage Loan that was a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); and (y) 50% of Allocable Modification
Fees (that constitute Excess Modification Fees) collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Non-Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans in connection with a consent, approval or other action that (A) is processed by the Special Servicer or (B) the
Master Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special
Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement;


 


(iii)        100%
of Assumption Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and 50% of
Assumption Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection
with a consent, approval or other action that (A) is processed by the Special Servicer or (B) the Master Servicer is not permitted
to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under the other provisions
of this Agreement;


 


(iv)        100%
of assumption application fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;


 


(v)         100%
of Consent Fees on Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection with a consent that involves no modification, assumption, extension,
waiver or amendment of the terms of any Mortgage Loan documents, and 50% of Consent Fees on Non-

Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
in connection with a consent that involves no modification, assumption, extension, waiver or amendment of the terms of any Mortgage
Loan documents and is paid in connection with a consent that (A) is processed by the Special Servicer or (B) the Master Servicer
is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under
the other provisions of this Agreement;


 


(vi)        100%
of charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the Mortgagors under the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;


 


(vii)       (a)
50% of other loan processing fees actually paid by the Mortgagors under the Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans to the extent
that the consent of the Special Servicer is required in connection with the associated action or such action is processed by the
Special Servicer, and (b) 100% of other loan processing fees actually paid by the Mortgagors under the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans;


 


(viii)      Interest
or other income earned during any Collection Period on deposits in any REO Account maintained by the Special Servicer, in accordance
with Section 9.14 (net of investment losses with respect to such REO Account for such Collection Period); and


 


(ix)         After
application as set forth in Section 5.2(b), any Excess Penalty Charges earned on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.


 


(d)           The
Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration
(including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement)
from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of
a Mortgage Loan, Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Loan Pair, A/B Whole Loan or REO Property)
in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan (or Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, if applicable),
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 Agreement; provided, that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special
Servicer/Affiliate Fees.


 


(e)           If
the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Loan Pair becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Companion
Loan Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Loan Pair and any related
REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights
and Special Servicer Compensation earned with respect to the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Loan Pair as special servicer of such Loan
Pair. Prior to the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Companion Loan Securitization Date, no other special servicer shall be entitled to any
such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Loan Pair is still a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan on the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Companion Loan Securitization Date, the Other Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
be entitled to compensation with respect to the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Loan Pair as if the Special


 






    	315



    	 



    

 


Servicer were being terminated
as Special Servicer and the Other Special Servicer were replacing, and acting successor to, the Special Servicer.


 


Section
9.12     Realization
Upon Defaulted Loans.


 


(a)           The
Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to Section 9.3(a), Section 9.12(b),
Section 9.12(c), Section 9.12(e), Section 9.17 and Section 10.3 and the terms
and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, shall use its reasonable efforts to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as come into and
continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments of such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, the sale of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement or the modification
of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion
of ownership, the Special Servicer shall follow the Servicing Standard. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Special
Servicer shall not request that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance for Liquidation Expenses that would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance unless the Special Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and
in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced B Note and the Trust as a collective whole, and in the case
of any Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust as a collective whole).


 


(b)           The
Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property relating to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant hereto unless:


 


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


 


(ii)         such
personal property is the capital stock of a settlor and both (A) the Special Servicer takes such action as may be necessary in
order to treat the settlor as an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from a REMIC Pool under Treasury Regulation
Section 301.7701-3 (including by filing an election under such regulation and by creating a wholly-owned LLC of the REMIC
for the purpose of acquiring part of such capital stock) and (B) the property owned by such settlor at the time the capital stock
is acquired consists solely of “foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions; or


 


(iii)        the
Special Servicer shall have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (the cost of which shall be reimbursed by the Trust) to the
effect that the holding of such personal property by any REMIC Pool will not cause the imposition of a tax on any REMIC Pool under
the Code or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust, obtain title to a Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other
action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action the Trust, or any trust that holds a Serviced
B Note or Serviced Companion Loan would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to
be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged


 






    	316



    	 



    

 


Property within the meaning of CERCLA, or any applicable
comparable federal, state or local law, or a “discharger” or “responsible party” thereunder, unless, subject
to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer has also
previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Report prepared by a Person
(who may be an employee or affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) who regularly conducts environmental site
assessments in accordance with the standards of Fannie Mae in the case of multi-family mortgage loans and customary servicing
practices in the case of commercial loans for environmental assessments, which report shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Custodian,
the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, that:


 


(i)          such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental expert,
that taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce
a greater recovery on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than not taking such actions;


 


(ii)         taking
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws is reasonably likely
to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than pursuing a claim
under the Environmental Insurance Policy; and


 


(iii)        there
are no circumstances or conditions present or threatened at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management, disposal
or release of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation,
testing, monitoring, removal, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or
that, if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental expert,
that taking such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on
a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than not taking such actions (after taking into account
the projected costs of such actions);


 


provided
that such compliance pursuant to clause (i) and (ii) above or the taking of such action pursuant to
this clause (iii) shall only be required to the extent that the cost thereof is a Servicing Advance of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.


 


(d)          The
cost of the Phase I Environmental Report contemplated by Section 9.12(c) may be treated as a Liquidation Expense,
or in the event the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not liquidated and a Final Recovery Determination has been made
with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall treat such cost as a Servicing Advance subject
to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof; provided that, in the latter event, the Special Servicer shall use
its good faith reasonable business efforts to recover such cost from the Mortgagor in connection with the curing of the default
under the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 






    	317



    	 



    

 


(e)          If
the Special Servicer determines, pursuant to Section 9.12(c), and subject to Section 10.3 and the terms
and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, that taking such actions as are necessary to bring any Mortgaged Property
into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, or taking such actions with respect to the containment, removal, clean-up
or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such
Mortgaged Property, is not reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance
with Section 1.2(e)) than not taking such actions (after taking into account the projected costs of such actions) or than
not pursuing a claim under the Environmental Insurance Policy, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to
be in the best economic interest of the Trust (and the holder of the related Serviced B Note if in connection with an A/B Whole
Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan if in connection with a Loan Pair, taken as a collective whole), including,
without limitation, releasing the lien of the related Mortgage, and the Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such
circumstances to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such written notice on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website pursuant to Section 5.4) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such written notice on the
17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7). In connection with the foregoing, if the Special Servicer
determines that a material possibility exists that Liquidation Expenses with respect to Mortgaged Property (taking into account
the cost of bringing it into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws) would exceed the Unpaid Principal Balance of the related
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such circumstances to the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such written notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant
to Section 5.4) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such written notice on the 17g-5 Information
Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7). The Special Servicer shall have no liability in connection with a release
of lien as contemplated in this paragraph so long as it has acted in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions
of this paragraph.


 


(f)          Subject
to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have
the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of maintaining any action with respect to
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any action to obtain a deficiency judgment with respect to
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


Section
9.13     Foreclosure.
If the Trust obtains, through foreclosure on a Mortgage or otherwise, the right to receive title to a Mortgaged Property (other
than any Mortgaged Property relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer, as its agent, shall direct the
appropriate party to deliver title to the related REO Property to the Trustee or its nominee (which may be a special purpose entity
owned by the Trust).


 


The
Special Servicer may consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions
with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a Servicing Advance related to the foreclosure,
subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and the holder of the
related Serviced B Note if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan if in connection
with a Loan Pair), shall sell such REO Property expeditiously, but in any event within the time period, and subject


 






    	318



    	 



    

 


to the conditions,
set forth in Section 9.15. Subject to Section 9.15, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect
and operate such REO Property for the holders of beneficial interests in the Trust (and the holder of the related Serviced B Note
if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan if in connection with a Loan Pair)
solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.


 


In
connection with causing the Trust to foreclose on collateral that consists of multiple properties held for sale to customers by
the Mortgagor (such as unsold condominium units in a single project), the Special Servicer shall consider the effect of the bidding
price for the properties on the tax basis of such properties if such properties are likely to be treated in the hands of the Trust
as properties held for sale to customers.


 


Section
9.14     Operation
of REO Property.


 


(a)          The
Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of each REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to each REO Property one
or more accounts held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and the holders of any related Serviced B Note or Serviced
Companion Loan, as applicable, with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair) in the name of LNR
Partners, LLC (or, with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as Special Servicer on
behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America
Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23, the holder of any Serviced Companion
Loan and the holder of any Serviced B Note as their interests may appear (each, an “REO Account”), which shall
be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit all funds received with respect to an REO Property in the applicable
REO Account within two (2) days of receipt of properly identified funds. The Special Servicer shall account separately for funds
received or expended with respect to each REO Property. All funds in each REO Account may be invested only in Eligible Investments
at the risk of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Master Servicer in writing of the location
and account number of each REO Account and shall notify the Trustee prior to any subsequent change thereof.


 


(b)          On
or before each Special Servicer Remittance Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Master
Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, the REO Income received or collected during the Collection Period immediately
preceding such Special Servicer Remittance Date on or with respect to the related REO Properties; provided that (i) the
Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account such portion of such proceeds and collections as may be necessary to maintain
in the REO Account sufficient funds for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the related REO Property, including,
without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements, and necessary capital improvements and other
related expenses. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of all such remittances (and the REO Properties to which
the deposits relate) made into the Collection Account and (ii) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the
REO Account and pay itself as additional Special Servicing Compensation any interest or net reinvestment income earned on funds
deposited in the REO Account. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for the


 






    	319



    	 



    

 


account of
the Special Servicer which shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in
the REO Account, out of its own funds immediately as realized; provided that, such investment losses shall not include
any loss with respect to such investment which is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered
depositary institution or trust company at which such Investment Account is maintained, so long as such depositary institution
or trust company (a) satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Eligible Account” both at the
time such investment was made and as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such loss and (b) is
not the Person that made the relevant investment. If the Special Servicer deposits in any REO Account any amount not required
to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the REO Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.


 


(c)           If
the Trust acquires the Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Section 10.3
and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, to do any and all things in connection therewith as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard, subject to the REMIC Provisions, and in such manner as the Special Servicer deems to be
in the best interest of the Trust (and in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced B Note and the Trust
as a collective whole, and in the case of any Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust as a
collective whole), and, consistent therewith, may advance from its own funds to pay for the following items (which amounts shall
be reimbursed by the Master Servicer or the Trust subject to Sections 4.4 in accordance with Section 4.6(e)),
to the extent such amounts cannot be paid from REO Income:


 


(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 could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien
thereon; and


 


(iii)        all
costs and expenses necessary to maintain, operate, lease and sell such REO Property (other than capital improvements and, to the
extent necessary to comply with the REMIC Provisions, capital expenditures).


 


(d)           The
Special Servicer may, and to the extent necessary to (i) preserve the status of the REO Property as “foreclosure property”
under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) avoid the imposition of a tax on “income from nonpermitted assets” within
the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, shall contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of the REO
Property, provided that:


 


(i)          the
terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;


 


(ii)         the
terms of such contract shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 856 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-4(b)(5);


 


(iii)        only
to the extent consistent with (ii) above, 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 Mortgaged Property


 






    	320



    	 



    

 


underlying the REO Property and (B) deposit on a daily basis all amounts payable to the Trust in accordance with the contract
between the Trust and the Independent Contractor in an Eligible Account;


 


(iv)        none
of the provisions of this Section 9.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee with respect to
the operation and management of any such REO Property;


 


(v)         if
the Independent Contractor is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, the consent of the Applicable Control Party, and a Nondisqualification
Opinion, must be obtained; and


 


(vi)        the
Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations
in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.


 


The
Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for the Trust
(and, if applicable, the holder of a Serviced B Note or a Serviced Companion Loan) pursuant to this subsection (d) 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 fees of the Independent Contractor (other than fees paid for performing services within the
ordinary duties of a Special Servicer which shall be paid by the Special Servicer) shall be paid from the income derived from
the REO Property (or if not available from amounts on deposit in the related REO Account, shall be an Additional Trust Expense).
To the extent that the income from the REO Property is insufficient, such fees shall be advanced by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 and Section 4.6(e) hereof.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of the Trust
or the beneficial owners thereof with respect to REO Property which might cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (without giving effect to the final sentence thereof)
or result in the receipt by any REMIC of any “income from nonpermitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless
(i) the Trustee and the Special Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s sole expense) to the effect
that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation, any income generated for REMIC I by the REO Property
would not result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Special
Servicer determines the income or earnings with respect to such REO Property will offset any tax under the REMIC Provisions relating
to such income or earnings and will maximize the net recovery from the REO Property to the Certificateholders. The Special Servicer
shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer of any election by it to incur such tax, and the
Special Servicer (i) shall hold in escrow in an Eligible Account an amount equal to the tax payable thereby from revenues
collected from the related REO Property, (ii) provide the Certificate Administrator with all information for the Certificate
Administrator to file the


 






    	321



    	 



    

 


necessary tax returns in connection therewith and (iii) upon request from the Certificate Administrator,
pay from such account to the Certificate Administrator the amount of the applicable tax. The Certificate Administrator shall file
the applicable tax returns based on the information supplied by the Special Servicer and pay the applicable tax from the amounts
collected by the Special Servicer.


 


Subject
to, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall not:


 


(i)          permit
the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to the 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 the REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then
only if more than ten (10) percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the
Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or


 


(iv)        Directly
Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, or allow any other Person to Directly Operate, other than through an Independent
Contractor, the REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after the Acquisition Date; unless, in any such case, the
Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel at the Trust’s sole expense 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 (without giving effect to the final sentence thereof) at any time that it is held by the applicable REMIC Pool, in
which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.


 


(f)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not have any obligations with respect to an REO Property that
relates to a Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and all references to the Special Servicer’s obligations
in this Agreement with respect to “REO Property” shall exclude any such Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan.


 


Section
9.15     Sale
of REO Property.


 


(a)          If
title to any REO Property is acquired by the Trust (or its nominee) in respect of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the deed
or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trust, the Trustee or to its nominees.  The Special Servicer, subject to Section 10.3
and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell any REO Property
for cash as soon as practicable consistent with the objective of maximizing proceeds for all Certificateholders (and, with respect
to a Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, for the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and/or Serviced
B Note, as applicable, as a collective whole), but in no event later than the end of the


 






    	322



    	 



    

 


third (3rd) calendar year following the
end of the year of its acquisition, and in any event prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date or earlier to the extent necessary
to comply with REMIC Provisions, unless (i) the Trustee or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the applicable REMIC Pool,
(A) has been granted an extension of time (an “Extension”) (which extension shall be applied for at least sixty
(60) days prior to the expiration of the period specified above) by the IRS for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property (a
copy of which Extension and the related application shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator upon request), or (B)
is permitted under the REMIC Provisions to continue to hold such REO Property during the period in which the application for such
an Extension is pending, in either of which cases the Special Servicer may continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for cash
for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits or while the application for such Extension is pending,
as the case may be, or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives, at the expense of the Trust, a Nondisqualification
Opinion, addressed to the Trustee and the Special Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent
to the period specified above after its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions”
of a REMIC, as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that in no event shall the Trust be permitted to hold any REO Property
beyond the end of the sixth (6th) calendar year following the end of the year of such REO Property’s acquisition. 
 If the Trustee has not received such an Extension or Opinion of Counsel and the Special Servicer is not able to sell such
REO Property for cash within the period specified above, or if an Extension has been granted and the Special Servicer is unable
to sell such REO Property within the extended time period, the Special Servicer shall, after consultation with the Applicable
Control Party, before the end of such period or extended period, as the case may be, auction the REO Property to the highest cash
bidder (which may be the Special Servicer or another Interested Person) in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided,
that if the Special Servicer, any other Interested Person or any of their respective affiliated entities intends to bid on or
otherwise purchase any REO Property, (i) the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such intent, (ii) the Trustee
shall promptly obtain, at the expense of the Trust, an Appraisal of such REO Property (or internal valuation in accordance with
the procedures specified in Section 6.9) and (iii) the applicable Interested Person shall not bid less than the fair
market value set forth in such Appraisal.  Neither the Trustee nor any Affiliate thereof may purchase an REO Property.


 


(b)          Within
thirty (30) days of the sale of the REO Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Custodian, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation
Period), the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and
the Master Servicer (and the holder of the related Serviced B Note, if any, if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder
of the related Serviced Companion Loan, if in connection with a Loan Pair) a statement of accounting for such REO Property, including
without limitation, (i) the Acquisition Date for the REO Property, (ii) the date of disposition of the REO Property,
(iii) the sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest (including interest deemed to have
accrued) on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to which the REO Property related, calculated from the Acquisition Date to the
disposition date, (v) final property operating statements, and (vi) such other information as the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator (and the holder of the related


 






    	323



    	 



    

 


Serviced B Note, if any, if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of
the related Serviced Companion Loan, if in connection with a Loan Pair) may reasonably request in writing.


 


(c)          The
Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property shall be remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into
the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not have any obligations with respect to an REO Property that
relates to a Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and all references to the Special Servicer’s obligations
in this Agreement with respect to “REO Property” shall exclude any such Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan.


 


Section
9.16     Realization
on Collateral Security. In connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Trust to any property securing any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan other than the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine
how best to enforce such rights in a manner consistent with the REMIC Provisions and shall not, based on a Nondisqualification
Opinion addressed to the Special Servicer and the Trustee (the cost of which shall be an expense of the Trust) take any action
that could result in the failure of any REMIC Pool to qualify as a REMIC while any Certificates are outstanding or could result
in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including, but not limited to, the tax on “prohibited transactions”
as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or on contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d)), unless such action has been approved
by a vote of 100% of the Certificateholders (including the Class R Certificateholders).


 


Section
9.17     Sale
of Defaulted Loans.


 


(a)          Promptly
upon a Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard
that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted
a single lender) to attempt to sell such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for
such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced B Note holder or Serviced Companion Loan holder
in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.17 and
Section 10.3, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the
highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan.


 


(b)          The
Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Controlling
Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Master Servicer, the
Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period) and the holder of any related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion
Loan not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. No Interested
Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Defaulted
Loan pursuant hereto.


 






    	324



    	 



    

 


(c)          Whether
any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan for purposes of this Section 9.17 shall be determined
by the Special Servicer, if the highest offer is from a Person other than an Interested Person, or by the Trustee (determined
either by itself or by retaining an independent third party as set forth below), if the highest offer is from an Interested Person;
provided that, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer
received and (ii) at least one (1) other offer is received from an independent third party. In all cases under this Section 9.17,
in determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Trustee,
if making such determination itself, shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal 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. The appraiser conducting any such new appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if no Interested
Person is making an offer with respect to a Defaulted Loan and selected by the Trustee if an Interested Person is so making an
offer. The cost of any such narrative appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. Where
any Interested Person is among those making an offer with respect to a Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall require that
all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested
Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the
results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within
the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such
Defaulted Loan, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount
of any delinquency on the Defaulted Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the
state of the local economy. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested
Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust) designate an independent third
party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing mortgage
loans similar to the subject Defaulted Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash
offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan.  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 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 reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert
whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.


 


(d)          Subject
to the other subsections of this Section 9.17, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust in negotiating
and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan, and the collection of
all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and
may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining
to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account. Any sale of any Defaulted
Loan shall be for cash. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or


 






    	325



    	 



    

 


the Trust (except such recourse to the Trust imposed by
those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions and any customary closing matters), and if such sale
is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor,
the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to
the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.


 


(e)          Subject
to the rights of a holder of any related Serviced B Note, Serviced Companion Loan or mezzanine loan, under the respective Intercreditor
Agreement or mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement, as applicable, to purchase a Mortgage Loan, unless and until a Defaulted
Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 9.17, the Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer such Defaulted
Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies
including workout, foreclosure or sale of such Defaulted Loan, as is consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.


 


(f)          The
purchase price for any Defaulted Loan purchased under this Section 9.17 shall be remitted to the Master Servicer for
deposit into the Collection Account, and the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf), upon receipt of a request for release
from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the Custodian and the Trustee, shall release or cause to be
released to the purchaser of the Defaulted Loan the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to vest in such purchaser ownership of such Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the Special
Servicer (to the extent it has possession of such file) and the Master Servicer (to the extent it has possession of such file)
shall deliver the related Servicer Mortgage File to such purchaser.


 


(g)          Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 9.17, but subject to Section 10.3, the Special Servicer
shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Trust Advisor,
during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, and subject to the rights of the Controlling Class
Representative set forth in Section 10.3), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer
would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single
lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines,
in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders
(as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders 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).


 


(h)          In
no event shall the Trust or the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on the Trustee’s behalf purchase, or
pay or advance costs to purchase, any B Note or Serviced Companion Loan.


 






    	326



    	 



    

 


(i)          In
the case of a Defaulted Loan that is part of a Loan Pair, if the Special Servicer determines to attempt to sell such Mortgage
Loan it shall sell such Defaulted Loan together with the related Serviced Companion Loan as a whole loan pursuant to this Agreement
and the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


With
respect to any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan together with the related
Serviced Companion Loan as a whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. Whether any
cash offer constitutes a fair price for any such Loan Pair for purposes of this Section 9.17 shall be determined by the
Special Servicer (unless the offeror is an Interested Person, in which case the Trustee shall make such determination); provided,
that no offer from an Interested Person (as defined in the related Intercreditor Agreement) for a Loan Pair 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 any such Loan Pair, the Trustee shall be
supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within
the preceding 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. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as,
a Servicing Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person constitutes a fair price for any such Loan Pair, 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 this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), as applicable, among other factors, the period
and amount of any delinquency on the affected Loan Pair, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property
and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent
expert in real estate matters selected with reasonable care and retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust and the holder
of the related Serviced Companion Loan in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special
Servicer shall not be permitted to sell the Loan Pair without the written consent of the related Serviced Companion Loan holder
unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to
attempt to sell the Loan Pair; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of each bid package (together with any
amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least 10 days
prior to the proposed sale, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Loan Pair, and any documents in the Servicer Mortgage
File requested by such 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 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 holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set
forth in this sentence. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Class Representative, the Serviced Companion Loan holder
or a representative thereof shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of a Loan Pair.


 


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 Trust) designate an


 






    	327



    	 



    

 


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. 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 costs of all appraisals,
inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by,
and shall be reimbursable from, the Collection Account, to the extent of the pro rata portion allocable to the related
Mortgage Loan, and the related Custodial Account, to the extent of the applicable portion allocable to the related Serviced Companion
Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party
expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.


 


(j)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, any purchase of a Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Section 9.17 will remain subject
to the cure and purchase rights of, in each case if applicable, the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan
as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and any holder of a related mezzanine loan as set forth in the related mezzanine
loan intercreditor agreement. The Special Servicer shall determine the price to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement or the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement in connection with any such purchase rights in favor of the holder
of the related B Note, Serviced Companion Loan or mezzanine loan, as applicable, and shall provide such notices to the holder
of the related B Note, Serviced Companion Loan or mezzanine loan, as applicable, as are required by the Intercreditor Agreement
or the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement, as the case may be, in connection with each such holders’ purchase
rights.


 


Section
9.18     A/B
Whole Loans. The parties acknowledge that, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled or required to exercise the rights and
powers granted to any “Note B Holder” as defined under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Section
10.3, when (i) any A Note or Serviced B Note under any A/B Whole Loan, (ii) any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Companion Loan under any Loan Pair, or (iii) any Mortgage Loan with any related mezzanine loan, as applicable, constitutes a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted under the related Intercreditor
Agreement or mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement that the Master Servicer would be entitled to exercise under Section 8.3(j)
hereof with respect to the related A Note, Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loan, as applicable.


 


Section
9.19     Reserved.


 


Section
9.20     Merger
or Consolidation. Any Person into which the Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Special Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Special Servicer, shall be the successor of the Special Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, that the Special Servicer shall have
provided a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency and each other NRSRO with respect to any securities rated by any
such NRSRO evidencing interests in any Serviced Companion Loan or


 






    	328



    	 



    

 


Serviced B Note; provided, further, that the successor
or surviving Person meets the requirements set forth in Section 9.30(g) for a successor Special Servicer and if, and
for so long as, the Trust, or with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan the trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Depositor or the depositor
under such Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, shall have consented thereto (which consent
shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld). If the conditions to the proviso in the foregoing sentence are not met, the Trustee
may terminate the Special Servicer’s servicing of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, such termination
to be effected in the manner set forth in Section 9.31. The successor or surviving Person shall provide prompt notice
of the merger or consolidation to the other parties hereto and the 17g-5 Information Provider. If the Special Servicer enters
into a merger and the Special Servicer is the surviving entity under applicable law, the Special Servicer shall not, as a result
of the merger, be required to provide a Rating Agency Communication, meet the requirements of Section 9.30(g), or obtain
the consent of the Depositor or any depositor under an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Section
9.21     Resignation
of Special Servicer.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 9.21, the Special Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it unless it determines that the Special Servicer’s duties hereunder are 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 Special Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the
Master Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period)
and the Trustee. In connection with any such resignation, the successor special servicer shall either: (i) during any Subordinate
Control Period, be appointed by the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the first (1st) paragraph of
Section 9.30(c); or (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period or any Senior Consultation Period, be appointed
by the Trustee and, during any Collective Consultation Period, be reasonably acceptable to the Controlling Class Representative,
and otherwise satisfy the requirements for a successor Special Servicer set forth in Section 9.30(g); provided

with respect to the replacement of the existing Special Servicer with the proposed successor. Notice of such resignation shall
be given promptly by the Special Servicer to the other parties to this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall bear all costs associated
with its resignation and the transfer of servicing under this Section 9.21(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Special Servicer shall cease to serve as such in accordance with this Section 9.21(a) and a successor servicer shall
not have been engaged (or, if applicable in the case of an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, shall not have been appointed by a related
Loan-Specific Directing Holder and engaged or, otherwise during any Subordinate Control Period, shall not have been appointed
by the Controlling Class Representative and engaged), the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee shall assume the duties and obligations
of the Special Servicer under this Agreement. If the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee assumes the duties and obligations of

rating on any class of commercial mortgage securities or placed any class of commercial mortgage securities on watch citing the
continuation of such special servicer as special servicer of such commercial mortgage securities as the sole or material reason
for such downgrade or withdrawal or placement on watch or (y) if such successor special servicer is not acting as special servicer

on Liability of the Special Servicer and Others.


 


(a)          Neither
the Special Servicer nor any of the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers or agents of the Special Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders, any other party to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers,
the holder of any Serviced B Note or the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan for any action taken or for refraining from the
taking of any action in good faith and using reasonable business judgment; provided that this provision shall not protect
the Special Servicer or any such person against any breach of a representation or warranty contained herein or any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of duties hereunder or
by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Special Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer,


 






    	331



    	 



    

 


employee, member, manager or agent of the Special Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly
executed and submitted by any Person (including, without limitation, the information and reports delivered by or at the direction
of the Master Servicer or any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer) respecting
any matters arising hereunder. Except as specifically provided in Section 9.34, the Special Servicer shall not be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement; provided that the Special Servicer may in its sole discretion
undertake any such action which it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to protect the interests of the Certificateholders,
the holder of any Serviced B Note, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan and the Trustee in the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, or shall undertake any such action if instructed to do so by the Trustee. In such event, all legal expenses and costs of
such action (other than those that are connected with the routine performance by the Special Servicer of its duties hereunder)
shall be expenses and costs of the Trust, and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor as a Servicing
Advance, together with interest thereon, as provided by Section 5.2 hereof.


 


(b)          In
addition, the Special Servicer shall have no liability with respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Special
Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement, including by the Master Servicer. Neither the Special Servicer,
nor any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent, shall be personally liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by any officer, unless it shall be proved that the Special Servicer or such officer was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts. Neither the Special Servicer, nor any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent, shall
be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within
the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on reports
and information supplied to it by the Master Servicer and the related Mortgagors and shall have no duty to investigate or confirm
the accuracy of any such report or information unless otherwise required hereunder. The Special Servicer shall have no liability
for the inaccuracy of any of its reports due to the inaccuracy of the information provided by the Master Servicer and shall have
no obligation to investigate or confirm the accuracy of any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.


 


(c)          The
Special Servicer shall not be obligated to incur any liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise
from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by any other party to this Agreement in this Agreement. The Trust
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Special Servicer from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses
which relate to or arise from any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant to the extent such amounts are not recoverable
from the party committing such breach.


 


(d)           Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein:


 


(i)          the
Special Servicer may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate,
certificate of auditors or any


 






    	332



    	 



    

 


other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
bond or other paper or document reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper party or parties;


 


(ii)         the
Special Servicer may consult with counsel, and any written advice 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; and


 


(iii)        the
Special Servicer, in preparing any reports hereunder, may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any information (financial or other), statement, certificate, document, agreement, covenant, notice, request or other paper reasonably
believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine.


 


(e)           The
Special Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Special Servicer shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian, as the case may be, and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any legal action relating
to the Master Servicer’s, the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Custodian’s, as the case
may be, respective willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective duties hereunder or by reason
of negligent disregard by such Person of its respective duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Special Servicer’s duties hereunder
or by reason of negligent disregard of the Special Servicer’s obligations and duties hereunder. The Special Servicer shall
promptly notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian, if a claim is made by a third
party entitling the Special Servicer to indemnification hereunder, whereupon, subject to Section 9.34, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, in each case, to the extent the claim was made in connection with
its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Special Servicer). Any failure to so notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian
shall not affect any rights the Special Servicer may have to indemnification hereunder or otherwise, unless the interest of the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification
provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination, removal or resignation of the Special Servicer.
Any payment hereunder made by the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as the case may
be, pursuant to this paragraph to or at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be paid from the Master Servicer’s,
the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Custodian’s, as the case may be, own funds, without reimbursement
from the Trust therefor, except achieved through subrogation as provided in this Agreement. Any expenses incurred or indemnification
payments made by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party
so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final judgment that the
conduct of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, was not culpable
or such indemnifying party was found to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Section
9.24     Indemnification;
Third-Party Claims.


 


(a)          The
Special Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Special Servicer (the “Special
Servicer Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless out of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans, any
Serviced Companion Loans and any Serviced B Notes (including REO Loans), against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (“Special Servicer
Losses”) incurred in connection with any legal action relating to (i) this Agreement, any Mortgage Loans, any Serviced
Companion Loans, any Serviced B Notes, any REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under this Agreement
reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses and (ii) any action properly taken by the Special Servicer
in accordance with this Agreement based on an instruction delivered in writing to the Special Servicer by the Trustee, the Controlling
Class Representative, any Loan-Specific Directing Holder or the Master Servicer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or
the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and the Special Servicer and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members,
managers and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’
fees) incurred in connection with the provision by the Special Servicer of any information included by the Special Servicer in
the report required to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, in each case other than any loss, liability
or expense: (A) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking indemnification, without right of reimbursement pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement; (B) which constitutes a Servicing Advance that is otherwise reimbursable under this Agreement;
(C) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any breach
on the part of that party of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement; or (D) incurred in connection with any legal
action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on
the part of that party in the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement or negligent disregard of such obligations
or duties.


 


Except
as provided in the following sentence, indemnification for Special Servicer Losses described in the preceding paragraph (including
in the case of such Special Servicer Losses that relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or grantor
trust formed hereunder or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions
or provisions relating to the grantor trust or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or grantor trust tax or expense with respect
to any REMIC or grantor trust formed hereunder) shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans
as a whole but not out of collections on, or other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Loan or any Serviced B Note. In the case
of any such Special Servicer Losses that do not relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool 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:


 


(1)
if such Special Servicer Losses relate to a Loan Pair, then (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) such indemnification
shall be paid (x) first, out of collections on, and other proceeds of, such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced
Companion Loan, in the relative proportions provided for in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and (y) if the


 






    	334



    	 



    

 


collections
and proceeds described in subclause (x) of this clause (1) are not sufficient to so indemnify the
Special Servicer Indemnified Parties on a current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of collections
on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole; and


 


(2)
if such Special Servicer Losses relate to any A/B Whole Loan, then (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) such indemnification
shall be paid (x) first, if and to the extent permitted under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, out of collections
on, and other proceeds of such A/B Whole Loan, and (y) if the collections and proceeds described in subclause (x)
of this clause (2) are not sufficient to so indemnify the Special Servicer Indemnified Parties on a current
basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans
as a whole.


 


The
Special Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) and the Trust
shall pay, from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.2, all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them
in respect of such claim. The Master Servicer shall promptly make from the Collection Account (and, if and to the extent that
the amount due shall be paid from collections on, and other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Loan or any Serviced B Note, as
set forth above, out of the related Custodial Account) any payments certified by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer,
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator as required to be made to the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.24.


 


(b)          The
Special Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust, and each other party to this Agreement and any director, officer, member, manager,
employee or agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that such person may
sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder
or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder by the Special Servicer. The Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trust Advisor or the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Special Servicer
if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust
or the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trust Advisor or the Master Servicer, as the
case may be, to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Special Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trust Advisor or the
Master Servicer, as the case may be) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge
and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify
the Special Servicer shall not affect any rights the Trust or the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian,
the Trust Advisor or the Master Servicer may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Special Servicer’s
defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Special
Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction
makes a final, non-appealable judgment that the conduct of the Special Servicer was


 






    	335



    	 



    

 


not culpable or such indemnifying party was
found to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.


 


(c)          The
indemnification provided in Sections 9.24(a) and 9.24(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
termination or resignation of the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trust Advisor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee.


 


(d)          Any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against the Trust’s pro rata share
of any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities,
fees and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement, and relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (but excluding any such losses allocable to the related
Non-Serviced Companion Loans), reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses other than any losses incurred
by reason of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance
of its duties under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Section
9.25     Reserved.


 


Section
9.26     Special
Servicer May Own Certificates. The Special Servicer or any agent of the Special Servicer in its individual capacity or in
any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if they were not the
Special Servicer or such agent. Any such interest of the Special Servicer or such agent in the Certificates shall not be taken
into account when evaluating whether actions of the Special Servicer are consistent with its obligations in accordance with the
Servicing Standard regardless of whether such actions may have the effect of benefiting the Class or Classes of Certificates owned
by the Special Servicer.


 


Section
9.27     Tax
Reporting. The Special Servicer shall provide the necessary information to the Master Servicer to allow the Master Servicer
to comply with the Mortgagor tax reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code with respect
to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Property. The Special Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer copies
of any such reports. The Master Servicer shall forward such reports to the Certificate Administrator.


 


Section
9.28     Application
of Funds Received. It is anticipated that the Master Servicer will be collecting all payments with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced B Note (other than payments with respect to REO Income). If, however, the
Special Servicer should receive any payments with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than REO Income) it shall, within one (1)
Business Day of receipt from the Mortgagor or otherwise of any amounts attributable to payments with respect to or the sale of
any Mortgage Loan or any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any (but not including REO Income, which shall be deposited in the
applicable REO Account as provided in Section 9.14 hereof) remit such payment or other amounts (endorsed, if applicable,
to the order of the Master


 






    	336



    	 



    

 


Servicer), to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. The Special Servicer shall
notify the Master Servicer of each such amount received on or before the date required for the making of such deposit or transfer,
as the case may be, indicating the Mortgage Loan or the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to which the amount is to be applied
and the type of payment made by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor.


 


Section
9.29     Compliance
with REMIC Provisions and Grantor Trust Provisions. The Special Servicer shall act in accordance with this Agreement and the
REMIC Provisions and related provisions of the Code in order to create or maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC and
the Grantor Trust created hereby as a grantor trust or, as appropriate, adopt a plan of complete liquidation. The Special Servicer
shall not (A) take any action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any action that could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC
Pool as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) subject to Section 9.14(e), result in the imposition of a tax upon any
REMIC Pool (including, but not limited to, the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) or on
contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d)) or (B) take any action or cause the Grantor Trust to take any action that
could (i) endanger its status as a grantor trust, an “investment trust” under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c),
or a “domestic trust” under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7 or (ii) result in the imposition of any tax
upon the Grantor Trust unless the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator have received a Nondisqualification Opinion
(at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status
or result in the imposition of such tax. The Special Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Article XII hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be liable for an Adverse REMIC Event resulting from the failure of any Mortgage
Loan by its terms to comply with Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or other REMIC Provisions.


 


Section
9.30     Termination.


 


(a)           The

such cure period may be extended to the extent necessary to permit the Special Servicer to cure such failure if (A) the Special
Servicer certifies to the Trustee and the Depositor that the Special Servicer is in good faith attempting to remedy such failure,

to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Special Servicer,
or any Servicing Function Participant appointed by the Special Servicer, shall fail to comply with any of its obligations under
Article XIII of this Agreement; or


 


(x)          if,

Such
termination shall be effective on the date that the Trustee specifies in a written notice to the Special Servicer that the Special
Servicer is terminated due to the occurrence of one of the foregoing events and the expiration of any applicable cure period or

case of either clause (x) or (y), the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to, and shall, appoint a successor
Special Servicer meeting the requirements of Section 9.30(g), who shall execute and deliver to the other parties hereto
an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, whereby the successor Special Servicer agrees to assume
and perform punctually the duties of the Special Servicer specified in this Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall
have provided each Rating Agency and each other NRSRO with respect to any securities rated by any such NRSRO evidencing interests
in any Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note with a Rating Agency Communication prior to the termination of the Special Servicer;
provided, further, that the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall not be subject to termination pursuant

Agreement, no successor Special Servicer appointed by the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to Section 9.21(a),
Section 9.30(b) or this Section 9.30(c) will be required to meet any net worth requirements.


 


During
any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the
Special Servicer with a proposed successor Special Servicer meeting the requirements of Section 9.30(g), (ii) payment
by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the
Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by, and at the
expense of, such Holders to each Rating Agency (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee) of a Rating Agency
Communication with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor,
the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on
its internet website and by mailing such notice to their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction
of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall
succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 9.30(b)
and Section 9.31; 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 paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely
the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon
or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders,
on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the
termination of the Special Servicer. The Holders of the Certificates that initiated the vote to replace the Special Servicer shall
pay the costs and


 






    	340



    	 



    

 



expenses incurred in connection
with the removal and replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.


 


In
addition, during any Senior Consultation Period, if the Trust Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its
duties in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Trust Advisor may recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer. In
such event, the Trust Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer,
a written recommendation (along with the relevant information justifying its recommendation) of a suggested replacement special
servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall notify each Certificateholder of the recommendation and post it on the Certificate
Administrator’s Website. The replacement of the Special Servicer based on the Trust Advisor’s recommendation must
be confirmed by an affirmative vote of the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the aggregate
Voting Rights of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis; provided that if a proposed termination and
replacement of the Special Servicer following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor is not consummated within 180 days
following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further
force and effect. If the Holders of such Principal Balance Certificates elect to remove and replace the Special Servicer, the
Trustee shall provide to each Rating Agency a Rating Agency Communication at that time. If the successor special servicer agrees
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer
under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer approved by the Certificateholders, provided such successor
special servicer satisfies the requirements of Section 9.30(g), subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s
rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in this Agreement
which survive termination. The reasonable costs and expenses associated with the Trust Advisor’s identification of a replacement
special servicer, providing the Rating Agency Communications and administering the vote of the applicable Principal Balance Certificates
will be an Additional Trust Expense. In any case, the Trustee shall notify the outgoing Special Servicer promptly of the effective
date of its termination.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing to the contrary, the holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note or its designee, to the extent
set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and only for so long as it is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, shall
have the sole right to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable,
upon the appointment and acceptance of such appointment by a successor to the Special Servicer; provided that, if such
holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note or its designee so terminates the Special Servicer, such holder
of that Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note or its designee shall appoint a successor Special Servicer who will (i) in
the case of the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and to the Depositor; and (ii) execute
and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, whereby the successor Special
Servicer agrees to assume and perform punctually the duties of the Special Servicer specified in this Agreement; and provided,
further, that the Trustee shall provide to each Rating Agency a Rating Agency Communication prior to the termination of
the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not be terminated pursuant to this Section 9.30(d) until a successor
Special Servicer shall have been appointed. The holder of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note or its designee
shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Trust 






    	341



    	 



    




in
connection with the removal and appointment of a Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (unless such removal is based on
any of the events or circumstances set forth in Section 9.30(b)). If the holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced
B Note or its designee terminates the Special Servicer with respect to the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable,
and appoints a successor special servicer with respect to such Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable, then the Controlling
Class Representative (or the Holders of the applicable percentage of Certificates) shall not have the right to terminate any such
successor special servicer without cause until the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note or its designee
is no longer the Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to such Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable. 


(e)          Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing to the contrary, so long as LNR Securities Holdings, LLC or an Affiliate thereof owns more than 50% of the
Controlling Class or is the representative appointed by such holders pursuant to Section 10.1(a) and (b), such party
shall have no right to replace or remove the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect to any Excluded Mortgage Loan.


 


(f)          If
a separate special servicer is appointed or remains in place with respect to a Loan Pair or an A/B Whole Loan at the request of
the Loan-Specific Directing Holder of such Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan holder or
in respect of any Excluded Mortgage Loan, as applicable, in accordance with Section 9.30(b), Section 9.30(c) or
Section 9.30(d) or otherwise (any such separate special servicer for a Loan Pair, A/B Whole Loan or Excluded Mortgage
Loan, a “Loan-Specific Special Servicer”), such that there are multiple parties acting as Special Servicer
hereunder, then, unless the context clearly requires otherwise: (i) when used in the context of imposing duties and obligations
on the Special Servicer hereunder or the performance of such duties and obligations, the term “Special Servicer” shall
mean the related Loan-Specific Special Servicer, insofar as such duties and obligations relate to a Loan Pair, A/B Whole Loan
or Excluded Mortgage Loan, as applicable, as to which a Loan-Specific Special Servicer has been appointed or otherwise relates,
and shall mean the General Special Servicer, in all other cases; (ii) when used in the context of identifying the recipient
of any information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the related
Loan-Specific Special Servicer, insofar as such information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items relate to a Loan
Pair, A/B Whole Loan or Excluded Mortgage Loan, as applicable, as to which a Loan-Specific Special Servicer has been appointed
or otherwise relates, and shall mean the General Special Servicer, in all other cases; (iii) when used in the context of
granting the Special Servicer the right to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining in the Trust pursuant
to Section 11.1(b), the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the General Special Servicer only; (iv) when
used in the context of granting the Special Servicer any protections, limitations on liability, immunities and/or indemnities
hereunder, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean each Loan-Specific Special Servicer and the General Special Servicer;
and (v) when used in the context of requiring indemnification from, imposing liability on, or exercising any remedies against,
the Special Servicer for any breach of a representation or warranty hereunder or for any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
in the performance of duties and obligations hereunder or any negligent disregard of such duties and obligations or otherwise
holding the Special Servicer responsible for any of the foregoing, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the related
Loan-Specific Special Servicer or the General Special Servicer, as applicable. References in this Section 9.30(f)

Loans (exclusive of each and every A/B Whole Loan and Loan Pair as to which a Loan-Specific Special Servicer has been appointed
and exclusive of the Excluded Mortgage Loans). 


(g)          In
no event may a successor Special Servicer be a current or former Trust Advisor or any Affiliate of such current or former Trust
Advisor. Further, such successor must be a Person that satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to special servicers
contained in this Agreement (other than any net worth requirement during any Subordinate Control Period when the Controlling Class
Representative is appointing the successor Special Servicer in accordance with Section 9.21(a), Section 9.30(b)
or Section 9.30(c)) and, if applicable, any Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that no Rating Agency Confirmation
shall be required in connection with the appointment of any Special Servicer other than pursuant to Section 9.21(b) of
this Agreement. The Special Servicer, any successor Special Servicer and any of their respective Affiliates shall not (i) pay,
or become obligated, whether by agreement or otherwise, and whether or not subject to any condition or contingency, to pay the
Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof any fee, or otherwise compensate or grant monetary or other consideration to the Trust
Advisor or any Affiliate thereof (x) in connection with its obligations under this Agreement or the performance thereof or
(y) in connection with the appointment of such Person as, or any recommendation by the Trust Advisor for such Person to become,

with its obligations under this Agreement or the performance thereof or (y) in connection with the appointment of such Person
as, or any recommendation by the Trust Advisor for such Person to become, the successor Special Servicer or (iii) become entitled
to receive any fee from the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof in connection with the appointment of such Person as Special
Servicer, unless, in each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), such transaction has been expressly approved by 100% of
the Certificateholders.


 


(h)          If
the Special Servicer is terminated under this Agreement, it shall continue to have any indemnification rights that survive termination
and any rights to any and all compensation, reimbursement of Advances and any other amounts due to the Special Servicer hereunder
which were earned, accrued or expended prior to termination.

no later than the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan
or (ii) the sixth (6th) day of the month in which the final Distribution Date will occur. Upon any such termination,
the rights and duties of the Special Servicer (other than the rights and duties of the Special Servicer pursuant to Sections 9.8,
9.11 (with respect to any outstanding fees earned prior to such termination), 9.21, 9.23, 9.24 and
9.28 hereof) shall terminate and the Special Servicer shall transfer to the Master Servicer the amounts remaining in each
REO Account and shall thereafter terminate each REO Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Specially

(b)          On
the date specified in a written notice of termination given to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.30(a),
all authority, power and rights of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall terminate, subject to the Special Servicer’s right to receive compensation and indemnification
as expressly provided herein, as well as the benefit of any other rights that survive termination hereunder; provided,
that in no event shall the termination of the Special Servicer be effective until the Trustee or other successor Special Servicer
shall have succeeded the Special Servicer as successor Special Servicer, notified the Special Servicer of such designation, and
such successor Special Servicer shall have assumed the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities, as set forth
in an agreement substantially in the form hereof, with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. The Trustee or other
successor Special Servicer may not succeed the Special Servicer as Special Servicer until and unless it has satisfied the provisions
that would apply to a Person succeeding to the business of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.20 hereof and
otherwise complies with Section 9.30(g). The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Special Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Special Servicer agrees
to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder
as Special Servicer including, without limitation, providing the Trustee all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable the successor Special Servicer designated by the Trustee to assume the Special Servicer’s
functions hereunder and to effect the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time
be or should have been deposited by the Special Servicer in any REO Account and any other account or fund maintained or thereafter
received with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. On the date specified in a written notice of termination given
to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.30(a), all authority, power and rights of the
Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, whether such Mortgage
Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or otherwise, shall terminate. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Special Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments,
and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination.

Master Servicer to comply with its obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required

hereunder. The Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer at the request of the Special Servicer any information in its
possession with respect to the Mortgage Loans which the Special Servicer shall require in order for the Special Servicer to comply

the related calendar month the aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from each REO Account.


 


(e)          With
respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and,

    	345



    	 



    

 


Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to April 15, 2016 and for which the items in clause (i) and (ii) above have
not been delivered, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and, to the extent obtained, deliver such items

(f)           The
Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian
all such other information with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans at such times and to such extent as the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor may from time to time reasonably request; provided
that the Special Servicer shall not be required to produce any ad hoc non-standard written reports with respect to such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans except if any Person (other than the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) requesting such
report pays a reasonable fee to be determined by the Special Servicer.


 


(g)          The
Special Servicer shall deliver electronically a written Inspection Report of each Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 9.3(b) to the Master Servicer (who shall deliver electronically such written
inspection report to the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Controlling Class Representative (during
any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), and the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate
Control Period)).


 


(h)          The
Special Servicer shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) recommending the taking of certain actions
for each Mortgage Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and deliver such Asset Status Report, together with all
information reasonably requested by the Applicable Control Party in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably
necessary to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, to the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate
Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) or any related Loan-Specific Directing Holder (with respect to an A/B Whole
Loan or a Loan Pair as to which the holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee
is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder), as applicable, and the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5
Information Provider and, during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor not
later than forty-five (45) days after the servicing of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is transferred to the Special Servicer.
Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:


 


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


 


(ii)         a
discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer (including without limitation
by reason of any Phase I Environmental Assessment and any additional environmental testing contemplated by Section 9.12(c)),
consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies set forth herein and to the enforcement
of any related guaranties or other collateral for






    	346



    	 



    

 


the
related Specially Serviced Mortgage 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 or Mortgaged Properties;


 


(iv)        a
summary of the applicable Special Servicer’s recommended action with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan;


 


(v)         the
Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, together with the assumptions used in the calculation
thereof (which the Special Servicer may satisfy by providing a copy of the most recently obtained Appraisal); and


 


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


 


If
(i) the Applicable Control Party affirmatively approves in writing an Asset Status Report, (ii) after ten (10) Business
Days from receipt of an Asset Status Report, together with all information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is necessary
for the Applicable Control Party to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, the Applicable Control Party does not object
to such Asset Status Report or (iii) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an Asset Status Report, together with
all information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is necessary for the Applicable Control Party to make a decision
regarding the Asset Status Report, the Applicable Control Party objects to such Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer makes
a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such objection is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders
and any holder of a related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as a collective whole, then the Special Servicer shall
take the recommended actions described in the Asset Status Report. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an Asset Status
Report, together with all information reasonably requested by the Applicable Control Party in the possession of the Special Servicer
that is reasonably necessary to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, the Applicable Control Party may object to
such Asset Status Report; provided that following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related
Mortgaged Property, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the
Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of such ten (10) Business
Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such action
before the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders
and the holder of any related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort
to contact the Applicable Control Party, as applicable. If the Applicable Control Party objects to an Asset Status Report, together
with all information reasonably requested by the Applicable Control Party in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably
necessary for the Applicable Control Party to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, within the above-referenced ten
(10) Business Day period, then the Special Servicer (absent a determination set forth in clause (iii) of the first sentence of
this paragraph) shall revise such Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than thirty (30)
days after the objection to the Asset Status Report by the Applicable Control Party. The Special Servicer shall






    	347



    	 



    

 


revise
such Asset Status Report as provided in the prior sentence until the earlier of (a) the delivery by the Applicable Control
Party of an affirmative approval in writing of such revised Asset Status Report, and (b) the failure of the Applicable Control
Party to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt thereof. In any event,
if the Applicable Control Party does not approve an Asset Status Report within ninety (90) days from the submission of such Asset
Status Report, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the Applicable Control Party, provided that such
action does not violate the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it
has previously delivered and implement the new action in such revised report so long as such revised report has been prepared,
reviewed and either approved or not rejected as provided above. 


Other
than with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair as to which the holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion
Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, each of the Trust Advisor (during any Collective
Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) and the Controlling Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation
Period) will be entitled to consult with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset
Status Report. During any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, other than with respect to an A/B
Whole Loan or a Loan Pair as to which the holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or
its designee is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action
and any other feedback provided by the Trust Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable. The Special Servicer
may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account
any input and/or recommendations of the Trust Advisor (and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative).


 


The
Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any other specific consent or approval right which the Applicable Control
Party may have.


 


The
Special Servicer may not take any action inconsistent with an Asset Status Report that has been adopted as provided above, unless
such action would be required in order to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Special Servicer takes any action
inconsistent with an Asset Status Report that has been adopted as provided above, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the
Applicable Control Party of such inconsistent action and provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons therefor.


 


The
Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period
and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same
to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report, in each case with reasonable promptness
following the adoption thereof. In addition, the Special Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Certificate Administrator (who
shall promptly post same on the Certificate Administrator’s Website) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly
post same on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) a summary of any Final Asset Status


 






    	348



    	 



    

  


Report
(which summary shall solely reflect such Final Asset Status Report and not include extraneous information).





Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary: (i) the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to consult with or to seek and/or
obtain consent or approval from any Controlling Class Representative prior to acting (and provisions of this Agreement requiring
such consultation, consent or approval shall be of no effect) during the period following any resignation or removal of a Controlling
Class Representative and before a replacement is selected; and (ii) no advice, direction or objection from or by (x) the Controlling
Class Representative, as contemplated by Section 10.3 or any other provision of this Agreement, (y) a Loan-Specific
Directing Holder, as contemplated by this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement, or (z) the Trust Advisor, as contemplated
by this Agreement, may (and the applicable Special Servicer shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction
or objection that such Special Servicer has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause
such Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan or any other Section of this Agreement, including
the applicable Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B) result in an Adverse
REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust, (C) expose
the Trust, any Certificateholder the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, the Custodian,
the Trustee or any of 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 Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities
under this Agreement.


 


(i)          With
respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, without
charge and within two (2) Business Days following the end of such Collection Period, and the Master Servicer to the extent it
has received such report shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the Master
Servicer 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
during the related Collection Period, provided that no such report shall be due in respect of any Collection Period during which
no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall not have any obligation

Administrator.


 


(a)          Subject
to Section 5.4(e), the Special Servicer shall furnish on a timely basis such reports, certifications, and information as
are reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform
its duties under this Agreement; provided that no such request shall (i) require or cause the Special Servicer to
violate the Code, 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


 



    	349



    	 



    

 


any
REMIC Pool and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust or (ii) expose the Special Servicer, the Trust, the Certificate
Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee to liability or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities
under this Agreement. In addition, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of all expenditures incurred by it with
respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans which are required to be made by the Master Servicer as Servicing Advances as
provided herein, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. The Special Servicer shall also remit all invoices
relating to Servicing Advances promptly upon receipt of such invoices.


 


(b)          In
addition to any other rights that a Controlling Class Representative or Loan-Specific Directing Holder may have hereunder, the
Special Servicer shall from time to time make reports, recommendations and analyses to the Controlling Class Representative (during
any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan
Pair as to which the holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the related
Loan-Specific Directing Holder) or any related Loan-Specific Directing Holder (with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair
as to which the holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the related
Loan-Specific Directing Holder), as applicable, with respect to the following matters, the expense of which shall not be an expense
of the Trust (except for out-of-pocket expenses of the Special Servicer, which shall be reimbursable in accordance with Section
4.6(e)):


 


(i)          whether
the foreclosure of a Mortgaged Property relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan would be in the best economic interest
of the Trust;


 


(ii)         if
the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a foreclosure, whether a deficiency judgment should or should not be sought because
the likely recovery will or will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time and exposure of pursuing such judgment;


 


(iii)        whether
the waiver or enforcement of any “due-on-sale” clause or “due-on-encumbrance” clause contained in a Mortgage
Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is in the best economic interest of the
Trust;


 


(iv)        in
connection with entering into an assumption agreement from or with a person to whom a Mortgaged Property securing a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan has been or is about to be conveyed, whether to release the original Mortgagor from liability upon a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and substitute a new Mortgagor, and whether the credit status of the prospective new Mortgagor is in compliance
with the Special Servicer’s regular commercial mortgage origination or servicing standard;


 


(v)         in
connection with the foreclosure on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property which is not in compliance
with CERCLA, or any comparable environmental law, whether it is in the best economic interest of the Trust to bring the Mortgaged
Property into compliance therewith and an estimate of the cost to do so; and


 



    	350



    	 



    

 


(vi)        with
respect to any proposed modification (which shall include any proposed release, substitution or addition of collateral), extension,
waiver, amendment, discounted payoff or sale of a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), 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
net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than liquidation of such Mortgage Loan; such analysis
shall specify the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination, including the status of any existing material default
or the grounds for concluding that a payment default is imminent.


 


Section
9.34     Litigation Control.


 


(a)          With
respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Excluded 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, other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents
or any affiliates thereof (each, a “Borrower-Related Party”) against the Trust (including, without limitation,
any action in which both the Trust and the Master Servicer are named) and/or the Special Servicer and represent the interests
of the Trust in any litigation relating to the rights and obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan
documents, or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing a Mortgage Loan (other than any Excluded
Mortgage Loan), A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, or of the Trust or the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party
under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Trust-Related Litigation”). In the event that the Master Servicer
is named in any Trust-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Trust-Related Litigation (regardless of
whether the Trust is named in such Trust-Related Litigation), the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of such litigation
as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of
such Trust-Related Litigation.


 


(b)          To
the extent the Master Servicer is named in 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 clause (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 9.34(e); provided, further, 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 any material settlement of any Trust-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material
Trust-Related Litigation unless and until it has notified in writing the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate
Control Period or Collective Consultation Period) and the holder of any related Serviced Companion


 



    	351



    	 



    

 


Loan
or Serviced B Note (if such matter affects such Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note) (to the extent the identity of the
holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note is actually known to the Special Servicer) and the Controlling Class
Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) and the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note
(for so long as such holder is the Loan-Specific Directing Holder in respect of such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as applicable)
has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days (or such longer period specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement)
of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that it 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 time period, then the Controlling Class Representative or the Loan-Specific Directing
Holder, as applicable, shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action); provided, that, if the Special Servicer
determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders
and, with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, any related Serviced Companion Loan and/or Serviced B Note holders, the Special
Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s or the Loan-Specific Directing
Holder’s response.





(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided
by the Controlling Class Representative or any Loan-Specific Directing Holder 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, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair,
expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit
or liability, result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to
the Grantor Trust, result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution”
tax under the REMIC Provisions or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the
Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
the right of the Special Servicer to represent the interests of the Trust in Trust-Related Litigation, and subject to the rights
of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer’s actions in this Section 9.34, 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.



 



    	352



    	 



    


 


(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 or consultation of the Controlling Class Representative
during a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, respectively, and the consent of the holder of any related
Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced B Note (for so long as such holder is the Loan-Specific Directing Holder in respect of such
A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as applicable)) 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, that 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 any resulting judgment is paid
by the Trust under circumstances in which payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (C) the Master Servicer
is 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, and (D) 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). 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.


 


(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 9.34.


 


(i)           This
Section 9.34 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.


 


(j)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (A) 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 applicable, 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); (B) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding
directly relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage
Loan Documents, or otherwise directly relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties pursuant to the power of
attorney granted to the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, (i) initiate an action, suit, litigation or
proceeding in the name of the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (ii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee,
or (iii) 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 (C) 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, that nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude
the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Trust-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Controlling
Class Representative during a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, respectively, to the extent required
in Section 9.34(c) and subject to Section 9.34(d)) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in
its name as representative of the Trust.


 


(k)          For
the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, references to the rights and obligations
of the Special Servicer in this Section 9.34 shall only apply to LNR Partners, LLC to the extent that such entity is acting
as General Special Servicer under this Agreement, and not to the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer. References to Mortgage
Loans (including related references to associated Mortgagors, guarantors, obligors and Mortgaged Properties) in this Section
9.34 shall mean the Mortgage Loans other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans or Excluded Mortgage Loans.


 


Section
9.35     Excluded Mortgage Loan Notices. Upon a Servicing Officer or Special Servicing Officer, as
applicable, of the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer or the Master Servicer having actual knowledge, or receiving notice
from any party indicating that such party believes, that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Mortgage Loan, it shall provide
prompt written notice thereof (in no event more than five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof) to each of the other parties
hereto.

Section
10.3     Rights and Powers of Controlling Class Representative.


 


(a)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, Section 10.3(b), Section 10.3(c)
and the second (2nd) and third (3rd) paragraphs of this Section 10.3(a), (i) the Master
Servicer shall not be permitted to take (to the extent that it is authorized to do so hereunder) any of the actions constituting
a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision unless the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer mutually agree that the Master
Servicer shall process such action. If the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall
process such action, the Master Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Special Servicer its written recommendation and analysis
and any other information or documents reasonably requested by the Special Servicer (to the extent such information or documents
are in the Master Servicer’s possession). In connection with any such action that the Master Servicer is processing, the
Master Servicer must obtain the consent of the Special Servicer (which approval shall be deemed given if the Special Servicer
does not object within fifteen (15) Business Days (or (A) in the case of an action relating to an A/B Whole Loan or Loan
Pair, while the holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, or its designee is the related
Loan-Specific Directing Holder, within the period expiring five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the related Loan-Specific
Directing Holder’s decision period under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and (B) in the case of a determination of
an Acceptable Insurance Default, ninety (90) days) of receipt of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation
together with any information in the possession of the Master Servicer that is reasonably required to make a decision regarding
the subject action), and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to take, or to consent to the Master Servicer’s
taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the
actions constituting a Major Decision, (A) during any Subordinate Control Period, as to which the Controlling Class Representative
has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty
(30) days), or (B) in the case of an action relating to an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, while the holder of the related Serviced
B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, as to which the related
Loan-Specific Directing Holder has objected within the decision period provided for under the related Intercreditor Agreement,
in each case after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer, together with any information
in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably necessary to make a decision regarding the subject action (provided
that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day (or, in the
case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) day) period, then the Controlling Class Representative
will be deemed to have approved such action); provided that if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer
is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect
to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Class Representative during any Subordinate Control
Period, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair,
the holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders
and the holder of such Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, constituted a single lender), the Special
Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s
(or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response; provided, further, that the






    	357



    	 



    

 


Special
Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any of the foregoing actions during
any Collective Consultation Period or any Senior Consultation Period (or, in the case of an Excluded Mortgage Loan, at any time
that the subject Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan); provided, further, that the Special Servicer will
be required to consult, solely on a non-binding basis (and to consider alternative actions recommended by each such party) (i)
during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, with the Trust Advisor, as to any of the Major Decisions,
and (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period, with the Controlling Class Representative with respect to any of the Major
Decisions and any other matter as to which consent of the Controlling Class Representative would have been required during any
Subordinate Control Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Master Servicer
and Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will not process a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the
Master Servicer shall have no duty to deliver to the Special Servicer any analysis or recommendations in connection with any such
action but shall be required to provide all available information that is reasonably necessary for the Special Servicer to make
a decision with respect to the applicable Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to
the contrary, if the Controlling Class Representative is an Affiliate of a Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan or a Manager of a Mortgaged
Property and is therefore not a Privileged Person, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be permitted to provide to the Controlling
Class Representative all information necessary in order to permit the Controlling Class Representative to (i) consult on any matter
with respect to which it is entitled to consult under this Agreement and/or (ii) determine whether to provide the required consent
described above, and the Special Servicer shall not be in breach of this Agreement or the Servicing Standard solely by virtue
of providing such information to the Controlling Class Representative.





In
addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, subject to Section 10.3(b), Section 10.3(c) and the immediately
following paragraph, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking,
such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair (other than (x) any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
or Non-Serviced Loan Combination, and (y) any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair as long as the holder of the related Serviced B Note
or Serviced Companion Loan is the Loan-Specific Directing Holder of such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair) as the Controlling Class
Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
no such direction, and no direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement,
may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of any loan documents, any Intercreditor
Agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Special Servicer’s obligation
to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the
Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee or the Trust to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Special
Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder. Furthermore, in addition to the Controlling Class Representative’s rights of
consent and consultation (as applicable) as set forth in Section 10.3(a) above, it is understood and agreed that to
the extent any other provision of this Agreement requires the provision of notice to, the obtaining of consent of, and/or consultation
with, the Controlling Class Representative, or otherwise provides for any right of the Controlling Class Representative thereunder,
then none of the Trustee, the






    	358



    	 



    

 


Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be entitled to take any action (or omit to take any action) in contravention of the applicable
rights of the Controlling Class Representative contained in such provision; provided that this sentence is not intended
to in any way (i) expand the rights of the Controlling Class Representative, (ii) limit the application of the immediately preceding
sentence, (iii) remove any limitations on the exercise of such rights set forth in, such other provisions, or (iv) require the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer to send a notice to, obtain the consent of, or consult with a new Controlling
Class Representative whose name and contact information have not yet been provided to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and/or
the Special Servicer; and provided, further, that if such other provisions are in any way subject to this Section 10.3,
then the exercise of such rights shall be subject to Section 10.3(b) and the immediately following paragraph.





If
the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative
or any direction or advice from the Controlling Class Representative would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer,
as applicable, to violate the terms of any loan documents, any Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or
this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable,
shall disregard such refusal to consent, direction or advice and notify the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation
of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance
with the direction of or approval of the Controlling Class Representative that does not violate any loan documents, any Intercreditor
Agreement, any applicable law, the REMIC Provisions, 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.


 


(b)          During
any Senior Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation rights under this Agreement and
shall have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be
delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Controlling Class Representative; provided that the Controlling
Class Representative (if and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) will maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights
for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein: (i) for so long as the holder of any related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee
is the Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the Controlling Class Representative shall
not be entitled to exercise any of the rights in Section 10.3(a) with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair,
as the case may be, or any related REO Property; and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative shall not have any consent
rights with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan but (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period)
shall have consultation rights with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, in each case as and to the extent set forth in
the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, for so long as the holder of any related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan,
as applicable, or its designee is the Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan






    	359



    	 



    

 


Pair,
(i) such Loan-Specific Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as the
case may be, or any related REO Property all of the rights and powers of such Loan-Specific Directing Holder under the related
Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative shall not have any of the consent rights or rights to direct
the Special Servicer contemplated by Section 10.3(a) with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as the case may
be, or any related REO Property except as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The rights of the holder of any related
Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee as Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to any
A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair will be unaffected by the existence of any Subordinate Control Period, Collective Consultation Period
or Senior Consultation Period.


 


(d)          No
Controlling Class Certificateholder or Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to direct the Master Servicer to accept
a Principal Prepayment (including payment of a Balloon Payment other than in connection with the foreclosure or liquidation of
a Mortgage Loan) prior to the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan for the related Collection Period unless, to the extent otherwise
permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


Section
10.4     Controlling Class Representative and Trust Advisor Contact with Master Servicer and Special
Servicer. Upon reasonable request, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing
Officer or Special Servicing Officer, as applicable, available to answer questions from the Controlling Class Representative (during
any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate
Control Period) regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible
(but shall not respond to questions of the Trust Advisor with any information regarding communications between the Controlling
Class Representative or a Loan-Specific Directing Holder, on the one hand, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, on the
other hand).


 


Section
10.5     Appointment, Duties and Compensation of the Trust Advisor.


 


(a)          (i)          The
Trust Advisor shall promptly review all information available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website
related to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property and included as part of the CREFC® Investor Reporting
Package (IRP) and each Asset Status Report delivered to the Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer; provided, that during
any Subordinate Control Period, the Trust Advisor shall only be permitted to review Final Asset Status Reports.


 


(ii)         During
any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year
during which any Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Mortgaged Property was an REO Property, the Trust
Advisor shall meet with representatives of the Special Servicer (if it was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31st
in the prior calendar year and has continued in such capacity through the date of such meeting) to perform a review of the
Special Servicer’s operational practices in light of the Servicing Standard and the requirements of this Agreement







    	360



    	 



    

 


and shall discuss the Special Servicer’s stated policies and procedures, operational controls and protocols, risk management
systems, intellectual resources, the Special Servicer’s reasoning for believing it is in compliance with this Agreement
and other pertinent information the Trust Advisor may consider relevant, in each case, insofar as such information relates to
the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.


 


(iii)        The
Trust Advisor shall provide the Special Servicer at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date proposed for
the annual meeting described in this Section 10.5(a)(iii). The Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer shall determine
a mutually acceptable date for the annual meeting. The Trust Advisor shall deliver, at least fourteen (14) days prior to such
annual meeting, a proposed written agenda to the Special Servicer and such agenda shall identify the Asset Status Reports that
shall be discussed during the annual meeting. The Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer may discuss any of the Asset Status Reports
produced and any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Property as part of the Trust Advisor’s annual assessment
of the Special Servicer’s performance hereunder. The Special Servicer shall make available senior Special Servicing Officers
with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and the related platform
level information for each annual meeting.


 


(iv)         During
any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, based on the Trust Advisor’s meeting with the Special
Servicer, the Trust Advisor’s review of any Asset Status Reports and other information delivered to the Trust Advisor by
the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Controlling Class Representative or a Loan-Specific Directing
Holder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) and any other information available to Privileged Persons
on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, the Trust Advisor shall, in each case, deliver to the Certificate Administrator
and the 17g-5 Information Provider (each of which shall promptly post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website and the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, respectively) within 120 days of the end of the prior calendar year
an annual report (the “Trust Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto;
provided, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in any Trust Advisor Annual Report consist
of Privileged Information or otherwise contravene any provision of this Agreement; provided, further, that any applicable
Trust Advisor Annual Report may describe any limitations resulting from any lack of access to Privileged Information. Each Trust
Advisor Annual Report shall set forth the Trust Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its
duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on a platform-level basis with respect to the resolution or liquidation
of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Each of the Special Servicer and, during any Collective Consultation
Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall be given an opportunity to review any Trust Advisor Annual Report at least
five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider; provided,
that the Trust Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to such Trust Advisor Annual Report that are provided by
the Special Servicer and/or the Controlling Class Representative. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, each such Trust
Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this






    	361



    	 



    

 


Agreement
regarding Privileged Information. If the Special Servicer is replaced, the Trust Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the
entity that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31st in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such
capacity through the date of such Trust Advisor Annual Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.5(a)(iv),
no Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be required to be prepared or delivered with respect to any calendar year as to which no
annual meeting described in Section 10.5(a)(ii) shall have been required to be held or with respect to any calendar
year during which no Asset Status Reports have been prepared. 


As
used in connection with the Trust Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s
performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage 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 Trust Advisor of any annual compliance statement,
assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Trust Advisor
by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Controlling Class Representative or any related Directing Holder,
as applicable, and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(b)          The
Trust Advisor, as an independent contractor, shall review the Special Servicer’s operational practices in respect of Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Special Servicer and perform each other
obligation of the Trust Advisor as set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the Trust Advisor Standard. The Trust Advisor
shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the
Trustee, any Holder of a Certificate or any other Person in connection with this Agreement. Certificateholders are hereby deemed
to have acknowledged and agreed that (i) there could be multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and
the objective of the Trust Advisor’s participation in any resolution process is to provide additional oversight relating
to the Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute;
(ii) the Trust Advisor shall have no authority or duty to make a determination on behalf of the Trust, nor any responsibility
for decisions made by or on behalf of the Trust; (iii) the Trust Advisor is not an advisor to any Person, including without limitation
any Certificateholder; and (iv) the Trust Advisor is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.


 


(c)          During
any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction and net present value calculations used
in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of
a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Trust Advisor shall review
such calculations but shall not take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction calculations and/or net present
value calculations.


 


(d)          During
any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the
Special Servicer of any of the






    	362



    	 



    

 


calculations
related to (i) Appraisal Reductions or (ii) net present
value, the Special Servicer shall promptly forward such calculations, and the Special Servicer shall promptly forward any supporting
material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by
the Trust Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information), to
the Trust Advisor but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Trust 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
portions of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation prior to utilization by the
Special Servicer provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor will not be permitted to recalculate or
verify any Appraisal Reduction or net present value calculations performed by the Special Servicer with respect to any Serviced
B Note or Serviced Companion Loan for so long as the related Serviced B Note holder or Serviced Companion Loan holder is the related
Applicable Control Party with respect to the related A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair. The Trust Advisor may not opine on or call into
question these calculations, other than with respect to mathematical errors and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary
portions of the applicable formula required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation prior to utilization by the
Special Servicer.


 


In
connection with this Section 10.5(d), if the Trust Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations or the
application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Trust
Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations
or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or
any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. If the Trust Advisor and Special Servicer are
not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Trust Advisor
shall promptly notify the Trustee of such disagreement and the Trustee shall determine which calculation is to apply. In making
such determination, the Trustee may hire an independent third-party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the
Trust.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Trust Advisor shall have no consultation rights or obligations with respect to any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loans (or any related REO Property), the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio Mortgage Loan or any Non-Serviced Loan Combination.


 


(f)           During
any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis)
with the Trust Advisor in connection with any Major Decision involving any Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan, Loan Pair or any related
REO Property and consider alternative actions recommended by the Trust Advisor; provided, that with respect to matters
related to any A/B Whole Loan and any Loan Pair, the Special Servicer shall only be required to consult with the Trust Advisor
in respect of such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as applicable, if the holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion
Loan, as applicable, is not, or has ceased to be, the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, and prior to such time, the Trust
Advisor shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as applicable.






    	363



    	 



    

 


(g)          Subject
to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Trust Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged
Information), the Trust Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with
the terms of Section 5.4.


 


(h)          The
Trust Advisor shall keep all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any other
person (including any Certificateholders), other than to the other parties to this Agreement, to the extent expressly required
by this Agreement, which parties, in turn, if they have been advised that such information is Privileged Information, shall not
without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative (or with respect to an A/B
Whole Loan or a Loan Pair any other Applicable Control Party), disclose such information to any other Person, except that such
parties and the Trust Advisor may disclose such information if (a) such Privileged Information becomes generally available
and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such parties or the Trust Advisor, as
applicable, (b) it is reasonable and necessary for such parties or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, to do so in working
with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (c) such Privileged Information was already
known to such party or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (d) such
disclosure is required by applicable law, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (which, in the case of any opinion of counsel
for the Trust Advisor, shall be a Trust Advisor Expense) delivered to the Trust Advisor, the Special Servicer, the Controlling
Class Representative (or with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair the Applicable Control Party), as applicable, the Certificate
Administrator and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor will be permitted to share Privileged Information
with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Trust Advisor to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Trust Advisor’s
obligations under this Agreement and provided such Trust Advisor Affiliates and subcontractors agree in writing prior to their
receipt of such Privileged Information to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Trust Advisor. Subject
to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Trust 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.


 


(i)           The
Trust Advisor shall be entitled to the Trust Advisor Fee. In addition, the Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the
Trust Advisor with respect to each Major Decision as to which the Trust Advisor has consultation rights. The Trust Advisor Fee
and any Trust Advisor Consulting Fees (to the extent such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor)
shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 5.2. When the Trust Advisor
has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Trust Advisor
Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the
related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any
Trust Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with
respect






    	364



    	 



    




 


to
the collection of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided, that the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Trust Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.





(j)           The
Trust Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Trust Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 10.11,
such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account as provided by Section 5.3, but
solely to the extent payable from amounts available as set forth in Section 6.11. The Trust Advisor hereby acknowledges
and agrees that in no event will any Trust Advisor Expenses be payable from, and the Trust Advisor hereby waives any and all claims
to, amounts distributable in respect of, the Control Eligible Certificates. Each successor Trust Advisor shall be required to
acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.


 


(k)          Except
as set forth in this Agreement, the Trust Advisor, any successor trust advisor and any of their respective affiliates shall not
accept any fees or other compensation or other consideration (x) in respect of the Trust Advisor’s (or successor trust advisor’s)
obligations under this Agreement or the performance thereof or (y) in connection with the appointment of a successor special servicer
or the recommendation by the Trust Advisor (or successor trust advisor) for a replacement special servicer to become the special
servicer under this Agreement.


 


(l)           Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary (i) the Trust Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance
shall be based on the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) so long as LNR Partners, LLC is acting as Special Servicer, LNR Partners,
LLC shall provide the Trust Advisor reasonable access, at LNR Partners, LLC’s offices during normal business hours, to LNR
Partners, LLC’s policies and procedures.  The Trust Advisor will be permitted to review such policies and procedures
but will not be permitted to retain hard copies and will not be provided with any electronic copies or soft copies.  The
Trust Advisor shall keep all information contained in the policies and procedures strictly confidential, except (A) the Trust
Advisor may disclose such information if (i) such information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as
a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Trust Advisor, or (ii) such disclosure is required by applicable law, as
evidenced by an opinion of counsel (which shall be a Trust Advisor Expense) delivered to the Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer,
and (B) the Trust Advisor may disclose a particular portion of the policies and procedures solely when necessary to support specific
conclusions concerning allegations of material deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Trust Advisor Annual Report,
or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Trust Advisor to replace LNR Partners, LLC as the Special Servicer pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor will be permitted to share such information
with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Trust Advisor to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Trust Advisor’s
obligations under this Agreement and provided such Trust Advisor Affiliates and subcontractors agree in writing prior to their
receipt of such information to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Trust Advisor.  The Trust
Advisor’s assessment may not take into account the fact that LNR Partners, LLC limited the Trust Advisor’s access
to the LNR Partners, LLC written policies and procedures pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.  Nothing set forth
herein shall limit or affect the scope of the Trust Advisor’s platform level review in connection with its preparation






    	365



    	 



    

 


of
the Trust Advisor Annual Report, provided that the Trust Advisor’s access to or reliance upon LNR Partners, LLC’s
written policies and procedures shall be subject to the terms of this paragraph.  During any period when the Special Servicer
is not LNR Partners, LLC or an affiliate of LNR Partners, LLC, the requirements and limitations contained in this paragraph shall
be null and void, and the Trust Advisor shall have adequate and timely access to the policies and procedures of any successor
special servicer as the Trust Advisor determines necessary to fulfill its duties under this Agreement.


 


Section
10.6     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Trust Advisor.


 


(a)          The
Trust Advisor hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with each other party to this Agreement and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date:


 


(i)          the
Trust Advisor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State
of Delaware;


 


(ii)         the
Trust Advisor has the full power and authority to execute, deliver, perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions
and obligations contemplated by this Agreement; the Trust Advisor has duly and validly authorized the execution, delivery and
performance by it of this Agreement and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Trust Advisor; and this Agreement,
assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties hereto, evidences the valid and binding obligation
of the Trust Advisor enforceable against the Trust Advisor in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement of remedies,
to applicable bankruptcy, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally as from time to time in effect, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and to matters of public policy with respect to indemnification
or contribution as to violations of securities laws;


 


(iii)        the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trust Advisor, the consummation by the Trust Advisor of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance by the Trust Advisor with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not (A)
result in a breach of any term or provision of its organizational documents or (B) conflict with, result in a breach, violation
or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party
or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule, regulation, or judgment, decree or order applicable to it of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which materially and adversely affects
its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;


 


(iv)         no
litigation is pending or, to the best of the Trust Advisor’s knowledge, threatened, against it, the outcome of which, in
the Trust Advisor’s reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the execution,
delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or its ability to perform any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the
terms hereof; and






    	366



    	 



    

 


(v)          no
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
and performance by it of, or compliance by it with, this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, it has obtained the same or will obtain the same prior to
the time necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, except to the extent in the case of performance, that
its failure to be qualified as a foreign corporation or licensed in one or more states does not materially and adversely affect
the performance by it of its obligations hereunder.


 


(b)          It
is understood that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 10.6 shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement.


 


Any
cause of action against the Trust Advisor arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section
shall accrue upon the giving of written notice to the Trust Advisor by any of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator. The Trust Advisor shall give prompt notice to each other party to this
Agreement and the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period)
of the occurrence, or the failure to occur, of any event that, with notice, or the passage of time or both, would cause any representation
or warranty in this Section to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect.


 


Section
10.7     Merger or Consolidation of the Trust Advisor. Any Person into which the Trust Advisor may
be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which
the Trust Advisor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Trust Advisor, shall be the successor of the
Trust Advisor hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto;
provided that the successor or surviving Person is an Eligible Trust Advisor. If the conditions to the proviso in the foregoing
sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate the successor or surviving Person as Trust Advisor, such termination to be effected
in the manner set forth in Section 10.12. The successor or surviving Person shall provide prompt written notice of
the merger or consolidation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if, and for so long as, the Trust, or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant
to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the
Trust Advisor may not remain the Trust Advisor under this Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any Prohibited
Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets to any Prohibited Party, unless (i) the Trust Advisor is the
surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer or (ii) the Depositor consents to such merger, consolidation or transfer,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and if, within forty-five (45) days following the date of delivery of a notice
by the Trust Advisor to the Depositor of any merger or similar transaction described in the preceding paragraph, the Depositor
shall have failed to notify the Trust Advisor of the Depositor’s determination to grant or withhold such consent, such failure
shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such consent). 






    	367



    	 



    

 


Section
10.8     Resignation of Trust Advisor.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise provided in Section 10.8(b), the Trust Advisor shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it unless it determines that its duties hereunder are 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 Trust Advisor shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator, the Depositor and the Trustee.


 


(b)          The
Trust Advisor (at its cost and expense and not at the expense of the Trust) shall have the right to resign from its obligations
and duties under this Agreement and recommend the replacement of the Trust Advisor (which shall be an Eligible Trust Advisor),
provided that the Trust Advisor shall (i) pay, or reimburse the Certificate Administrator or the Trust, as applicable,
for, all of the reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred by the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trust,
as applicable, in connection with obtaining any vote to replace the Trust Advisor (and such fees and expenses will not constitute
Additional Trust Expenses), (ii) pay any amounts in the nature of Trust Advisor Fees, costs or expenses, to the extent such amounts
are in excess of the amounts being paid to the Trust Advisor prior to its resignation, necessary to obtain or payable to a replacement
Trust Advisor, (iii) except in the case of a recommended replacement that is an Eligible Trust Advisor (in which event no consent
shall be required), obtain the consent (which shall be obtained prior to any solicitation of votes described below) of the Controlling
Class Representative during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, which consent shall be deemed
to have been granted if no objection is made within thirty (30) days following the Controlling Class Representative’s receipt
of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn and (iv)
except in the case of a recommended replacement that is an Eligible Trust Advisor (in which event no vote seeking consent shall
be conducted), obtain the requisite vote of Certificateholders as provided below. In such event, the Trust Advisor shall deliver
to the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Trustee, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Special Servicer, a written
recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) of a suggested replacement Trust Advisor, which
recommendation shall include a ballot that identifies the proposed replacement and that allows the Holders of Principal Balance
Certificates to approve or object to such recommendation and, further, shall clearly and conspicuously include on the face thereof
the following legend (in all capital letters and at least 14 point font): “FAILURE TO AFFIRMATIVELY OBJECT TO THIS RECOMMENDATION
WITHIN 180 DAYS OF THE DATE HEREOF SHALL BE DEEMED AN AFFIRMATIVE CONSENT TO REPLACE THE EXISTING TRUST ADVISOR WITH THE RECOMMENDED
SUCCESSOR TRUST ADVISOR IDENTIFIED IN THIS RECOMMENDATION”. The Certificate Administrator shall post such written recommendation
on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Except in the case of a recommended replacement that is an Eligible Trust Advisor,
the Trust Advisor’s recommendation of a successor Trust Advisor must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of Holders of Principal
Balance Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Principal Balance Certificates; provided
that if any Holder of Principal Balance Certificates does not affirmatively object within 180 days of the date on which such
written recommendation was posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, then such Holder shall

be
deemed to have consented to the replacement of the existing Trust Advisor with the recommended successor Trust Advisor. If so
confirmed, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the then existing Trust Advisor under this Agreement
and appoint the successor Trust Advisor approved or deemed approved by the Certificateholders (provided that such successor trust
advisor is an Eligible Trust Advisor). The terminated or resigning Trust Advisor’s rights to indemnification, payment of
outstanding fees, reimbursement of expenses and other rights set forth in this Agreement shall survive its termination or resignation.


 


(c)          No
resignation pursuant to this Section 10.8 shall become effective until a successor Trust Advisor appointed as provided
in Section 10.12(d) shall have assumed the Trust Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.


 


Section
10.9     Assignment or Delegation of Duties by Trust Advisor. Except as provided in Section 10.7,

any matters arising hereunder. The Trust Advisor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action which is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement.


 


(b)          In
addition, the Trust Advisor shall have no liability with respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trust Advisor
and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. Neither the Trust Advisor, nor any Affiliate, director, officer, employee,
member, manager or agent, shall be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any officer, unless it shall
be proved that the Trust Advisor or such officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Neither the Trust Advisor,
nor any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent, shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered

Servicer and the related Mortgagors and shall have no duty to investigate or confirm the accuracy of any such report or information.


 


(c)          The

which relate to or arise from any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant to the extent such amounts are not recoverable
from the party committing such breach.


 


(d)          Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein:


 


(i)          the
Trust Advisor may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate,

Trust Advisor and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Trust Advisor shall be indemnified
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as
the case may be, and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred

of its respective duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of any of the Trust Advisor’s duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the
Trust Advisor’s obligations and duties hereunder. The Trust Advisor shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, if a claim is made by a third party entitling
the Trust Advisor to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian,
the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, in each case, to the extent the claim was made in connection with its willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence, shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trust Advisor).
Any failure to so notify the


 



    	370



    	 



    







Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not affect any rights
the Trust Advisor may have to indemnification hereunder or otherwise, unless the interest of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification
provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Trust Advisor hereunder.
Any payment hereunder made by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator
or the Custodian, as the case may be, pursuant to this paragraph to the Trust Advisor shall be paid from the Depositor’s,
the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Custodian’s,
as the case may be, own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust therefor, except achieved through subrogation as provided
in this Agreement. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian,
the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be reimbursed by the party so paid or at the direction of which
a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final judgment that (x) the conduct of the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, was
not culpable or (y) such indemnifying party was found to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.


 


Section
10.11    Indemnification;
Third-Party Claims.


 


(a)          The
Trust Advisor and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Trust Advisor shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Trust, out of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans (subject to Section 6.11) against any and
all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees
and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense
(i) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking indemnification, without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement; (ii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification,
resulting from any breach on the part of that party of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement; or (iii) incurred
in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence on the part of that party in the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement or negligent
disregard of such obligations or duties. The Trust shall pay, from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.2,
all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which
may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Trust Advisor. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made
by the Trust shall be reimbursed by the Trust Advisor, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final, non-appealable judgment
that the Trust Advisor was found to have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.


 


(b)          The
Trust Advisor agrees to indemnify the Trust and each other party to this Agreement and any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents or Controlling Persons, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the






    	371



    	 



    

 


Trust
or any such party may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder by the Trust Advisor. The Trustee,
the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer shall immediately notify
the Trust Advisor if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust
or the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the
case may be, to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Trust Advisor shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer or the
Master Servicer, as the case may be) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge
and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify
the Trust Advisor shall not affect any rights the Trust or the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian,
the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Trust Advisor’s
defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee. The Trust Advisor shall not be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for any payment
made by the Trust Advisor pursuant to this paragraph. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trust Advisor
shall be reimbursed by the party so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction
makes a final, non-appealable judgment that the conduct of the Trust Advisor was not culpable or such indemnifying party was found
to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.


 


Section
10.12    Termination of the Trust Advisor.


 


(a)           A

by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or to the Trust Advisor and the Certificate Administrator by the Holders of Certificates
having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates; provided that with respect
to any such failure or breach which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Trust Advisor shall have an additional cure
period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure or breach within the initial 30-day
period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that it has
diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;






    	372



    	 



    

 


(ii)         any
failure by the Trust Advisor to perform in accordance with the Trust Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied
for a period of thirty (30) days;


 


(iii)        any
failure by the Trust Advisor to be an Eligible Trust Advisor, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30)
days;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(vii)        if,
and for so long as the Trust or a trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is subject
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trust Advisor shall fail to deliver any Regulation AB and any Exchange
Act reporting items required to be delivered by it under Article XIII of this Agreement at the times required under such
Article.


 


Upon
receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Trust Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator
shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mail, unless
the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied. If a Trust Advisor Termination Event shall occur,
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Trust Advisor Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the
Trustee may or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
of all the Certificates, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement,
other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination, by notice in writing to the Trust Advisor. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee of any Trust Advisor Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.


 


(b)          Upon
(i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates
requesting a vote to terminate the existing Trust Advisor and to replace the existing Trust Advisor with a proposed successor
Trust






    	373



    	 



    

 


Advisor
that is an Eligible Trust Advisor, (ii) payment by such Holders to the Trust, the Certificate Administrator and the Trust
Advisor, as applicable, of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Trust, the Certificate Administrator and the
Trust Advisor, as applicable, in connection with such vote (which fees and expenses will not constitute Additional Trust Expenses)
and (iii) obtaining the consent (which shall be obtained prior to any solicitation of votes below) of the Controlling Class Representative
during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and
such consent shall be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Controlling
Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter
be revoked or withdrawn), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice of the requested vote described
in clause (i) above to all Certificateholders by (A) posting such notice on its internet website and including
in the next Distribution Date Statement a statement that such request was received, and (B) mailing it to their addresses appearing
in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 75% of all the Voting
Rights of the Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (other than the right to receive accrued and unpaid
fees and expense reimbursements and the right to indemnification hereunder) and obligations of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement
by notice in writing to the Trust Advisor; provided that if that written direction is not provided within 180 days of the
initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Trust Advisor, then that written direction will have no force and effect.
In addition, the Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 75% of all the Voting Rights of the Certificates may direct the
Trustee not to replace the terminated Trust Advisor); provided that if at any time there is no Trust Advisor acting in
such capacity, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the rights (other than the right to receive accrued and unpaid fees
and expense reimbursements and the right to indemnification hereunder) and obligations of the Trust Advisor will have no force
and effect; and provided, further, that, if the Holders of at least 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates
subsequently request a vote to reinstate the role of Trust Advisor and appoint a new Trust Advisor under this Agreement, and the
Holders of at least 75% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates vote in favor of such reinstatement and appointment, then a new
Trust Advisor will be appointed and references to Trust Advisor in this Agreement will again be applicable. The provisions set
forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 10.12(b) shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of
the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Trust Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon
or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions; provided that this sentence shall not affect the Trust
Advisor’s right to receive accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements and the right to indemnification hereunder.
As between the Trust Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled
in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Trust Advisor.





(c)          If
there are no Classes of Principal Balance Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, then the Holders
of Certificates representing greater than 50% of the junior-most Class of such Classes of Certificates outstanding may elect to
terminate the Trust Advisor without payment of any termination fee by written notice delivered to the Depositor and the Trust
Advisor. Upon its receipt of notice from such Holders of their election to so terminate the Trust Advisor, the Trustee shall terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement by notice in writing to the Trust Advisor. If the
Trust






    	374



    	 



    

 


Advisor
is terminated pursuant to this Section 10.12(c), then no replacement Trust Advisor will be appointed.





(d)          On
or after the receipt by the Trust Advisor of written notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.12(a), Section 10.12(b)
or Section 10.12(c), or the effectiveness of any resignation by the Trust Advisor pursuant to Section 10.8,
all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Trust Advisor
shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate
to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business
Days (or such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary to find a willing successor trust advisor if no willing successor
trust advisor can be identified in such fifteen (15) Business Day period) after (1) the Trust Advisor resigns pursuant to
Section 10.8 or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Trust Advisor pursuant to
Section 10.12(a) or Section 10.12(b), the Trustee shall appoint a successor Trust Advisor (to the extent
a willing successor trust advisor can be identified) that is an Eligible Trust Advisor (which successor Trust Advisor may be an
Affiliate of the Trustee) and shall be the recommended or proposed Trust Advisor in the case of a resignation pursuant to Section 10.8(b)
or a termination pursuant to Section 10.12(b). During any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation
Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, to
any replacement for a Trust Advisor terminated pursuant to Section 10.12(a) (except that such consent will be deemed to
have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Controlling Class Representative’s
receipt of the request for consent and, if granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn). If the Trustee is
the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates shall be the successor
Trust Advisor. If the termination of the Trust Advisor is pursuant to Section 10.12(b), and if the Holders of Certificates
representing more than 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates so direct, then the Trustee shall not replace the
terminated Trust Advisor (subject to the provisos to the third (3rd) sentence of Section 10.12(b)). Except
as contemplated by Section 10.12(b), and except for any consent rights of the Controlling Class Representative expressly
set forth in this Article X, the appointment of the successor Trust Advisor shall not be subject to the vote, consent or
approval of the Holder of any Class of Certificates. The Trust Advisor shall not at any time be the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, a Seller or an Affiliate of any of them. If any of such entities becomes the Trust Advisor, including by
means of an affiliation arising after the date hereof, the Trust Advisor shall immediately resign, and the Trustee shall appoint
a successor Trust Advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 10.12(d).


 


Upon
any resignation or termination of the Trust Advisor and, if applicable, appointment of a successor Trust Advisor, the Trustee
shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator
(who shall promptly post such notice to the Certificateholder’s Website pursuant to Section 5.4), the 17g-5 Information
Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7),
the Depositor, the Certificateholders and, during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, the Controlling
Class Representative. If the Trust Advisor resigns or is terminated for any reason, all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that






    	375



    	 



    

 


accrued
prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all fees, expenses and indemnities accrued and owing to
it under this Agreement which shall be payable in accordance with the priorities and subject to the limitations set forth herein
including, without limitation, Section 6.11).


 


Section
10.13    Rights of the Holders of a Serviced B Note and Serviced Companion Loan. With respect to each
A/B Whole Loan (if any) and Loan Pair (if any), the holder of any related Serviced B Note and the holder of any related Serviced
Companion Loan shall have such consent rights or consultation rights, if any, during the specified time periods, as are set forth
in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
that immediate action is necessary to protect the interest of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced B
Note or Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole), then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable may take
any such action without waiting for the response of the holder of the Serviced B Note or holder of the Serviced Companion Loan
provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


In
addition, with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement,
the holder of a Serviced B Note or holder of a Serviced Companion Loan may direct the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, to take, or to refrain from taking, such actions as such holder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise
made herein. Upon reasonable request, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, provide the holder of a Serviced B Note
or holder of a Serviced Companion Loan with any information in the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable,
possession with respect to such matters, including its reasons for determining to take a proposed action.


 


If
the holder of a Serviced B Note or holder of a Serviced Companion Loan (in each case for so long as it is the related Loan-Specific
Directing Holder) shall direct the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to take any action (other than those provided for in
the related Intercreditor Agreement or in this Agreement), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement from collections on and other proceeds of such Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan for (i) its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in taking such action and (ii) to the extent that such action constitutes an extraordinary
action not in the ordinary course of administering and servicing such mortgage loan, other reasonable costs incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in taking such action. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall notify such holder,
prior to taking the related action, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer anticipates that it will seek reimbursement
therefor under the preceding sentence, and of the estimated amount of such reimbursement, and shall further notify such holder
if it intends to obtain actual reimbursement in excess of the estimated amount.


 


Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from the holder of a Serviced B Note or holder of a Serviced
Companion Loan, as contemplated by this Agreement, may (and the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall






    	376



    	 



    

 


ignore
and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
has determined, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, will) (i) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any provision of this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including
the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (ii) result
in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust,
(iii) expose the Trust, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee,
or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability, or
(iv) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.





With
respect to any Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer (if the Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan
has not become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property has not become an REO Property) or the Special
Servicer (if the Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan has become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged
Property has become an REO Property) shall prepare and make available (or to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the
related Intercreditor Agreement, deliver) to the holder of such Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, the related Loan-Specific
Directing Holder and the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) all notices, reports, statements and
communications to be delivered by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the Intercreditor 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 related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


If
the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan notifies the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer of any changes in the name and contact information of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the party receiving
such information shall promptly notify the other such parties thereof. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian,
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each conclusively rely on the information so provided to it by any other such
party regarding identity and/or contact information of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan, and none of the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have any liability
for notices or reports not sent to the correct holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or any obligation to obtain the consent of
or consult with the correct holder of any Serviced Companion Loan to the extent any other such party or the holder of such Serviced
Companion Loan has not provided updated or correct information regarding the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or has not
provided the most recent identity and/or contact information regarding the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan to the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.


 


Section
10.14    Rights of Non-Directing Holders. With respect to each Loan Pair (as and to the extent provided
for under the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

(a)          consult
with the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent that
such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) requests consultation with respect to any “major decision”
or “major action” set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions
outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Loan Pair, as applicable, and to consider alternative actions recommended by
such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative); provided, that, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement,
if the related Non-Directing Holder fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the related Non-Directing
Holder (or its designee or representative) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the related notice,
information or report, or any other communication relating to a proposed action, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall no longer be obligated to consult with the applicable Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) (unless the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action
previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery
of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holder,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any “major decision” or “major action”
set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the
aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate
action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Serviced
Companion Loan. Unless otherwise specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the Non-Directing Holder; and


 


(b)          in
addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, as and to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement,
the Non-Directing Holder shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer 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 A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as applicable, are discussed.

PURCHASE AND TERMINATION OF THE TRUST


 


Section
11.1     Termination of Trust Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.


 


(a)          The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of
the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 and
other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the later
of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust (and final distribution to
the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the Certificateholders), (ii) the
sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder
of all






    	378



    	 



    

 


the
outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(d) below; provided that in no event shall the Trust 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.





(b)          If
on any date the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 1.0% of the initial Aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, the Master Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Custodian,
the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such date. The Certificate Administrator shall promptly
forward such notice to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Depositor, the Holders of a majority of the most subordinate Class of REMIC
III Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates then outstanding (for this purpose considering each Class of the Class A-S,
Class B and Class C Certificates together with the portion of the Class PST Certificates representing an interest in the EC REMIC
III Regular Interest bearing the same alphabetic designation), the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Holders of the
Class R Certificates. The Holders of a majority of the most subordinate Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates or Exchangeable
Certificates then outstanding (for this purpose considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together
with the portion of the Class PST Certificates representing an interest in the EC REMIC III Regular Interest bearing the same
alphabetic designation), the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Holder of Certificates representing a majority interest
in the Class R Certificates, in such priority (and in the case of the Class R Certificateholders, a majority of the Class R Certificateholders),
may purchase, in whole only, the Mortgage Loans (in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, subject to the rights of the
holder of the related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement) and any
other property, if any (including, without limitation, any REO property), remaining in the Trust. If any party desires to exercise
such option, it will notify the Certificate Administrator who shall notify any party with a prior right to exercise such option.
If any party that has been provided notice by the Certificate Administrator (excluding the Depositor) notifies the Certificate
Administrator within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of the proposed purchase that it wishes to purchase the assets
of the Trust, then such party (or, if more than one of such parties notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to purchase
the assets of the Trust, the party with the first right to purchase the assets of the Trust) may purchase the assets of the Trust
in accordance with this Agreement. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of the Termination Price set forth below,
the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian in writing of its receipt thereof, and the Trustee
shall thereupon direct the Custodian promptly to release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer for the benefit of the
Person(s) exercising the option set forth in this Section 11.1(b) the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans.
The “Termination Price” shall equal 100% of the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans (other
than REO Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Loans as to which a Final Recovery Determination has been made) on the day of such purchase
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rates (or Mortgage Rates less the Master Servicing Fee Rate
if the Master Servicer is the purchaser), to the Due Date for each Mortgage Loan ending in the Collection Period with respect
to which such purchase occurs, plus unreimbursed Advances and interest on such unreimbursed Advances at the Advance Rate, and
the fair market value of any REO Properties and other property remaining in REMIC I. Any person or entity making the purchase
shall also






    	379



    	 



    




 


be
responsible for reimbursing the parties to this Agreement for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
parties in connection with such purchase. The Trustee shall consult with the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers or their
respective successors, as advisers, in order for the Trustee to determine whether the fair market value of the property constituting
the Trust has been offered; provided that, if an Affiliate of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser is exercising its right
to purchase the Trust assets, the Trustee shall consult with the Special Servicer in order for the Trustee to determine whether
the fair market value of the property constituting the Trust has been offered, provided that the Special Servicer is not
an Affiliate of any Holder of Class R Certificates, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (the fees and expenses of such determination
which shall be paid for by the buyer of the property constituting the Trust). If the Trustee consults with any Underwriter or
Initial Purchaser or their respective successors, or with the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any written confirmation given by such party as to whether the
fair market value of the property constituting the Trust has been offered.  As a condition to the purchase of the Trust assets
pursuant to this Section 11.1(b), the Person(s) exercising the option must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
which shall be at the expense of such Person(s) stating that such termination will be a “qualified liquidation” under
section 860F(a)(4) of the Code. Such purchase shall be made in accordance with Section 11.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Trustee is required to determine whether an offer represents the fair market value of the property constituting the Trust,
unless it is otherwise required to consult with any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser or their respective successors, or with the
Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall be permitted to designate an independent third party
expert (the fees and expenses of which shall be paid for by the buyer of the property constituting the Trust) in real estate or
commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing commercial real estate assets similar
to the property constituting the Trust, to determine whether the fair market value of the property constituting the Trust has
been offered.  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.


 


(c)          [Reserved]


 


(d)          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 X-A, Class
X-B, Class B, Class PST, Class C and Class D Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to
exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by Section 11.1(a)(iii) by giving written notice to all the parties
hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. If the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange
all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s
portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust (and where applicable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement)
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 (i) 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 Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn
from the






    	380



    	 



    

 


Collection
Account pursuant to Section 5.2 or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.3,
but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) pay to the Master Servicer
an amount equal to (x) the product of (a) the Advance Rate, (b) the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding Principal
Balance Certificates as of the date of such exchange and (c) three, divided by (y) 360. In addition, the Servicer shall transfer
all amounts required to be transferred to the Excess Interest Sub-account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to such
Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account. Upon confirmation
that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class
R Certificates) on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator 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 any REO Properties remaining in
the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 11.2. Solely for federal income
tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the REMIC I 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 REMIC I
Interests.


 


(e)          Upon
the termination of the Trust, any Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets held by the Grantor Trust shall be distributed to the
Class V Certificateholders on a pro rata basis.


 


(f)           Upon
the sale of the A Note relating to an A/B Whole Loan by the Trust or the payment in full of such A Note, the related
Serviced B Note shall no longer be subject to this Agreement and shall no longer be serviced by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer.


 


Section
11.2     Procedure Upon Termination of Trust.


 


(a)          Notice
of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final
distribution shall be made, shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator to the Trustee, the 17g-5 Information Provider,
the Holders of the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates
mailed no later than ten (10) days prior to the date of such termination. Such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution
Date upon which final distribution on the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable
Certificates will be made, and upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate
Registrar therein specified, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar
therein specified. The Certificate Administrator shall give such notice to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
at the time such notice is given to Holders of such Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar
with respect to the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable






    	381



    	 



    

 


Certificates
shall terminate and the Trustee shall terminate, or request the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator to terminate,
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates,
subject to the Certificate Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to the Holders of the Class
V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates in trust without interest
pending such payment.


 


(b)          If
all of the Holders do not surrender their certificates evidencing the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III
Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates for cancellation within three (3) months after the time specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, then the Certificate Registrar shall give a second (2nd) written notice to the remaining
Holders of such Certificates to surrender their Certificates evidencing such Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second (2nd) notice any such Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Registrar may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Holders
of such Certificates concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable
to such Holders. If within two (2) years after the second (2nd) notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts
distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and
not distributed to a Holder of such Certificates due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s)
for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section. Any money held by the Certificate Administrator
pending distribution under this Section 11.2 after ninety (90) days after the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation
shall be deemed for tax purposes to have been distributed from the REMIC Pools and shall be beneficially owned by the related
Holder.


 


Section
11.3     Additional Trust Termination Requirements.


 


(a)          The
Trust and each REMIC Pool shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless at the request
of the Master Servicer or the Class R Certificateholders, as the case may be, the Trustee seeks, and the Certificate Administrator
subsequently receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Master Servicer or the Class R Certificateholders, as the case
may be), addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator to the effect that the failure of the Trust
to comply with the requirements of this Section 11.3 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited
transactions” on any REMIC Pool under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:


 


(i)          Within
eighty-nine (89) days prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the REMIC III Regular Certificates, the Exchangeable
Certificates and the Class V and Class R Certificates, the Master Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee (on behalf of REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III) shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC Pool, meeting the requirements of a
qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions, which plan need not be in any special form and the date of which, in general,
shall be the date of the notice specified in Section 11.2(a) and shall be specified in a statement attached to the
federal income tax return of each applicable REMIC Pool;






    	382



    	 



    

 


(ii)         At
or after the date of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the time of making of the final payment
on the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust for cash at the Termination Price; provided that if the Holders of the Class R Certificates are purchasing the assets
of the Trust or REMIC I, the amount to be paid by such Holders may be paid net of the amount to be paid to such Holders as
final distributions on any Certificates held by such Holders;


 


(iii)        At
the time of the making of the final payment on the REMIC III Regular Interests, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute
or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, (A) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates all assets of REMIC I
remaining after such final payment of the REMIC I Regular Interests, (B) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates
all assets of REMIC II remaining after such final payment of the REMIC II Regular Interests and (C) to the Holders
of the Class R Certificates all remaining assets of REMIC III (in each case other than cash retained to meet claims); and
upon making of the final payment to all Class R Certificates of all remaining assets of each REMIC Pool, and the Trust shall terminate
at that time; and


 


(iv)         In
no event may the final payment on the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests or REMIC III Regular
Interests, or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, respectively, be made after the 89th
day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.


 


(b)          By
their acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby (i) authorize the Trustee to take such action as
may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC Pool, and (ii) agree to take such other action as
may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust upon the written request of the Depositor, which authorization
shall be binding upon all successor Class R Certificateholders.

REMIC AND GRANTOR TRUST ADMINISTRATION


 


The
provisions of this Article XII shall apply to each REMIC Pool and the Grantor Trust, as applicable.


 


Section
12.1     REMIC Administration.


 


(a)          An
election will be made by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting
of the Mortgage Loans (other than Excess Interest payable thereon), such amounts with respect thereto as shall from time to time
be held in the Collection Account, the Reserve Accounts and the Distribution Account (exclusive of the Excess Interest Sub-account),
the Insurance Policies and any related amounts in the REO Account and, to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein, any
related REO Properties as a REMIC under the Code (such REMIC being herein designated as “REMIC I”), other
than any portion of the foregoing amounts allocable to a Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan. Such elections will be made
on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending
on the last day of the calendar year in






    	383



    	 



    

 


which
the REMIC I Interests are issued. For purposes of such election, the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be designated as
the “regular interests” in REMIC I, and the REMIC I Residual Interest (which shall be evidenced by the Class
R Certificates) shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I.


 


An
election will be made by the Certificate Administrator to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular
Interests as a REMIC under the Code (such REMIC being herein designated as “REMIC II”). Such election
will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable
year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the REMIC II Interests are issued. For the purposes of such election,
the REMIC II Regular Interests shall be designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC II, and the REMIC II
Residual Interest (which shall be evidenced by the Class R Certificates) shall be designated as the sole class of “residual
interests” in REMIC II.


 


An
election will be made by the Certificate Administrator to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II
Regular Interests as a REMIC under the Code (such REMIC being herein designated as “REMIC III”). Such
election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for
the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the REMIC III Interests are issued. For purposes of
such election, the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates,
the EC REMIC III Regular Interests and the Class X REMIC III Regular Interests shall be designated as the “regular
interests” in REMIC III, and the REMIC III Residual Interest (which shall be evidenced by the Class R Certificates)
shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC III.


 


The
Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) in any of the REMIC Pools other than the REMIC I Interests, the REMIC II Interests and
the REMIC III Interests.


 


Any
Threshold Event Collateral posted by a Loan-Specific Directing Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement shall be
held by the Master Servicer in an outside reserve fund which shall not be an asset of any REMIC, and the Loan-Specific Directing
Holder that posted such Threshold Event Collateral shall be the owner of such outside reserve fund, all within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Any such Threshold Event Collateral shall be applied in the same manner as collections
on the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable, as and to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement,
including without limitation by means of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer drawing on any letter of credit
delivered as Threshold Event Collateral as and to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


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


 


(c)          The
Certificate Administrator shall pay all routine tax related expenses (not including any taxes, however denominated, including
any additions to tax, penalties and interest) of each REMIC Pool, excluding any professional fees or extraordinary expenses related






    	384



    	 



    

 



to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each REMIC Pool that involve the Internal Revenue Service
or state tax authorities.


 


(d)          The
Certificate Administrator shall cause to be prepared, signed, and timely filed with the Internal Revenue Service, on behalf of
each REMIC Pool, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC Pool on Internal Revenue Service Form SS-4.
The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt from the Internal Revenue Service of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number
Assigned, shall promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator
shall prepare and file Form 8811 on behalf of each REMIC Pool and shall designate an appropriate Person to respond to inquiries
by or on behalf of Certificateholders for original issue discount and related information in accordance with applicable provisions
of the Code.


 


(e)          The
Certificate Administrator shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all of each REMIC Pool’s federal and
state income or franchise tax and information returns as such REMIC Pool’s direct representative, and the Certificate Administrator
(or, if necessary, the Trustee) shall sign such returns; the expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the
Certificate Administrator, except that if additional state tax returns are required to be filed in more than three (3) states,
the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled, with respect to any such additional filings, to (i) be paid a reasonable
fee and (ii) receive its reasonable costs and expenses, both as amounts reimbursable pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(I)(vi)
hereof. Each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Certificate
Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool as is in its possession, which the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has received or prepared by virtue of its role as
Depositor, Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder and reasonably requested by the Certificate
Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to conclusively rely on such information in the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Depositor shall indemnify the Trust,
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator for any liability or assessment against any of them or cost or expense (including
attorneys’ fees) incurred by them resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns resulting from errors
in the information provided by the Depositor or caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Depositor in
providing any information for which the Depositor is responsible for preparing. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor for any liability or assessment against the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or any REMIC Pool and any expenses incurred in connection with such liability or assessment
(including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns resulting from errors in
the information provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or caused by the negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Certificate Administrator shall
indemnify the Master Servicer, the Depositor or any REMIC Pool for any expense incurred by the Master Servicer, the Depositor
and any REMIC Pool resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns resulting from errors in the preparation
of such returns caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Certificate Administrator. Each indemnified party
shall immediately notify the indemnifying party or parties of the existence of a claim for indemnification under this Section 12.1(e),
and provide the






    	385



    	 



    

 


indemnifying
party or parties, at the expense of such indemnifying party or parties, an opportunity to contest the tax or assessment or expense
giving rise to such claim, provided that the failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification rights
in favor of any REMIC Pool under this Section 12.1(e). Any such indemnification shall survive the resignation or termination
of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Special Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.


 


(f)           The
Certificate Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC Pool under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue
Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (i) to
the Internal Revenue Service or other Persons (including, but not limited to, the Transferor of a Class R Certificate, a Disqualified
Organization or an agent that has acquired such 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 the REMIC Provisions.


 


(g)          The
Certificate Administrator shall forward to the Depositor copies of quarterly and annual REMIC tax returns and Internal Revenue
Service Form 1099 information returns and such other information within the control of the Certificate Administrator as the Depositor
may reasonably request in writing. Moreover, the Certificate Administrator shall forward to each Certificateholder such forms
and furnish such information within its control as are required by the Code to be furnished to them, shall prepare and file with
the appropriate state authorities as may to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator be
required by applicable law and shall prepare and disseminate to Certificateholders Internal Revenue Service Forms 1099 (or otherwise
furnish information within the control of the Certificate Administrator) to the extent required by applicable law. The Certificate
Administrator will make available to any Certificateholder any tax related information required to be made available to Certificateholders
pursuant to the Code and any regulations thereunder.


 


(h)          The
Holder of more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in the Class R Certificates (or of the greatest percentage of the Class R
Certificates if no Holder holds more than 50% thereof) shall be the Tax Matters Person for each of REMIC I, REMIC II
and REMIC III. The duties of the Tax Matters Person for each of the REMIC Pools are hereby delegated to the Certificate Administrator,
and each Class R Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Class R Certificate, agrees, on behalf of itself and all successor holders
of such Class R Certificate, to such delegation to the Certificate Administrator as their agent and attorney in fact. If the Code
or applicable regulations prohibits the Certificate Administrator (or, if necessary, the Trustee) from signing any applicable
Internal Revenue Service, court or other administrative documents or from acting as Tax Matters Person (as an agent or otherwise),
the Certificate Administrator shall take whatever action is necessary for the signing of such documents and designation of a Tax
Matters Person, including the designation of the Holder of more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in the Class R Certificates
(or of the greatest percentage of the Class R Certificates if no Holder holds more than 50% thereof). The Certificate Administrator
shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any other financial liability in






    	386



    	 



    

 


the
performance of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers (except to the extent of the ordinary expenses
of performing its duties under this Agreement), if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.


 


(i)           The
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall each exercise reasonable care, to the extent within its control, and with respect to each of the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, within the scope of its express duties, and shall
each act in accordance with this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in order to create and maintain the status of each REMIC Pool
as a REMIC for so long as any REMIC III Regular Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest are outstanding and the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust for so long as any Class V Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates are outstanding.


 


(j)           The
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Holders of Class R Certificates
shall not take any action or fail to take any action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any action or fail to take any action if
any of such Persons knows or could, upon the exercise of reasonable diligence, know, that, under the REMIC Provisions such action
or failure, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC (ii) result in the imposition
of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Code
Section 860F(a)(2)) or (iii) endanger the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust unless the Trustee and the
Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the
effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. Any action required
under this Section which would result in an unusual or unexpected expense shall be undertaken at the expense of the party requiring
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Holders of the Class R Certificates to undertake such action.


 


(k)          If
any tax is imposed on any REMIC Pool, including, without limitation, “prohibited transactions” taxes as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, any tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as defined in Section 860G(c)
of the Code, any taxes on contributions to any REMIC Pool after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code,
and any other tax imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws (other than any tax permitted to
be incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.14(e)), then such tax, together with all incidental costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by:
(i) the Certificate Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of any of its obligations under this
Agreement; (ii) the Special Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Special Servicer of any of
its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement; and (iv) the Trust in all other instances. Any tax permitted
to be incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.14(e) shall be charged to and paid by the Trust from
the net income generated on the related REO Property. Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid
by the Certificate Administrator out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.

(l)           The
Certificate Administrator and, to the extent that books and records are maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
in the normal course of its business, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain
books and records with respect to each REMIC Pool on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The books and records must be sufficient
concerning the nature and amount of each REMIC Pool’s investments to show that such REMIC Pool has complied with the REMIC
Provisions.


 


(m)         None
of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by
which any REMIC Pool 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, prepayment assumption, issue prices and projected cash flows of the Certificates, as
applicable, and the projected cash flows of the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Certificate Administrator
or its designee, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data within the Depositor’s possession
or knowledge 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 Depositor in the preparation of all federal and state income or franchise tax and information
returns and reports for each REMIC Pool to Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator and each REMIC Pool for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, expenses (including attorneys’
fees) or assessments against the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each REMIC Pool arising from any errors or miscalculations
of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 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 indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the termination or resignation of the Certificate Administrator.


 


The
Certificate Administrator agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it are to be regarded as confidential information
and agrees that it shall use its reasonable best 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(n)) or is required by law or applicable regulations
to be disclosed or is disclosed (i) to independent auditors and accountants, counsel and other professional advisers of the
Certificate Administrator and its parent, or (ii) in connection with its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(o)          At
all times as may be required by the Code, the Master Servicer will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties

as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5)
of the Code.


 


(p)          For
the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the “latest possible maturity date”
for each Class of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class

the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall permit the sale, disposition or substitution of any of the Mortgage
Loans (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure or default of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy or
insolvency of any REMIC Pool, (iii) the termination of any REMIC Pool in a “qualified liquidation” as defined
in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, or (iv) a repurchase or substitution contemplated by Article II hereof), nor
acquire any assets for the Trust, except as contemplated by Article II hereof, nor sell or dispose of any investments in
the Collection Account or Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC Pool (other than a cash contribution
during the 3-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person
requesting such action) to the effect that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (A) affect
adversely the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC or of the 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 any REMIC Pool (except
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (D) cause any REMIC Pool to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions”
or “prohibited contributions” or other tax pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.


 


Section
12.3     Modifications of Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall permit any
modification of a Money Term of a Mortgage Loan (or of a related Serviced B Note or Serviced Companion Loan) unless (i) the
Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Master Servicer have received a Nondisqualification
Opinion or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (at the expense of the related Mortgagor, any holder of a related Serviced
B Note or Serviced Companion Loan or the Trust) to the effect that such modification would not be treated as an exchange pursuant
to Section 1001 of the Code (or, if it would be so treated, would not be treated as a “significant modification”
for purposes of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations) or (ii) such modification meets the requirements set
forth in Sections 8.18 or 9.5.


 


Section
12.4     Liability with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status. If any REMIC Pool fails
to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or tax as a result of a prohibited transaction
or prohibited contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by either the Trustee






    	389



    	 



    

 


or
the Certificate Administrator of its respective duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator,
as the case may be, shall be liable to the REMIC Pools and the Holders of the Class R Certificates for any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence and relating to the Class R Certificates;
provided, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable
to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee (with respect to the Certificate Administrator),
the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Trustee), the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for
any such Losses resulting from any actions or failure to act based upon reliance on an Opinion of Counsel or from misinformation
provided by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee (with respect to the Certificate Administrator), the Certificate
Administrator (with respect to the Trustee), the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates on which the Trustee or
the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights
and remedies of the Holders of the Class R Certificates now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. The Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator shall be entitled to intervene in any litigation in connection with the foregoing and to maintain control over its
defense.





Section
12.5     Grantor Trust.


 


(a)          Any
Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets held in the Grantor Trust, consisting of the right to any Excess Interest in respect of
the ARD Mortgage Loans and the Excess Interest Sub-account, shall be held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
for the benefit of the Holders of the Class V Grantor Trust Interest, represented by the Class V Certificates, which Class V Certificates,
in the aggregate, shall evidence 100% beneficial ownership of such assets from and after the Closing Date.


 


(b)          The
EC REMIC III Regular Interests shall be held in the Grantor Trust and have been placed in the Grantor Trust through the efforts
of the Underwriters. The EC REMIC III 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. At all times, the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates
shall represent beneficial ownership interests in the Class A-S Percentage Interest, the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class
C Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest, Class B REMIC III Regular Interest and Class
C REMIC III Regular Interest, respectively. At all times, the Class PST Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership interests
in the Class PST Components.


 


(c)          Under
no circumstances may the Certificate Administrator vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of variations
in the market so as to improve the rate of return of Holders of the Class V Certificates or any Class of Exchangeable Certificates.
The Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to hold and shall account for the assets of the Grantor Trust separate and apart
from the assets of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III created hereunder.






    	390



    	 



    

 






(d)          The
parties intend that the portions of the Trust consisting of the Grantor Trust shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust
(exclusive of the REMIC Pools) shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under the Code,
as an “investment trust” under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c), and as a “domestic trust” under
Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance
of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Holders of the Class V Certificates
and any Class of Exchangeable Certificates and shall file, or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service, Form 1041 (or,
if the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, information will be provided on Form 1099) or such other form as may be applicable, at the time
and in the manner required by the Code, indicating their respective shares of income and deductions with respect to such grantor
trust, as such amounts accrue or are received, as the case may be.


 


(e)          The
Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT.


 


Section
12.6     Grantor Trust Reporting Requirements.


 


(a)          The
Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information that is reasonably
necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so, and that is not already in its possession, is provided to the Certificate
Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that Depository is the only “middleman”
as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen”
that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the first (1st) sentence of
this paragraph and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if the Internal Revenue
Service makes a determination that the first (1st) sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.


 


(b)          The
Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method,
except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under
no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall
make available 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.


 


(c)          The
Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for
any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information that is not already
in its possession being provided to the Certificate Administrator, or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information
being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial
ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed
to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of
proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds
and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the


 






    	391



    	 



    

 


Depositor,
the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.


 


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

parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article XIII is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor
with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Neither the Depositor nor the Certificate
Administrator shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than
in reasonable good faith, or (except with respect to Section 13.9, Section 13.10 or Section 13.11) 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, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, or otherwise, and agree to comply with
reasonable requests made by the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator in good faith for delivery of information under these
provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations
require compliance and are not “grandfathered” and do not mandate compliance). In connection with the Morgan Stanley
Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C23 transaction, each of the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate fully with the
Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator,
as applicable (including any of their assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any
other information in its possession and necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or the Certificate
Administrator, as applicable, to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosure
relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator,
as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Depositor or the Certificate
Administrator, as applicable, to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. None of the Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor,
the Trustee, the Custodian, any Sub-Servicer or the Special Servicer are responsible for filing any Exchange Act report with the
Commission on behalf of the Trust. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written
request made under this Section 13.1, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in
sufficient time to allow the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to satisfy any related filing requirements.
For purposes

this Article XIII, 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.

be material to Certificateholders and (B) any affiliations of the type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB or relationships
of the type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB that develop following the Closing Date between the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator (or, if applicable, any Sub-Servicer) (and any other parties
identified in writing by the requesting party), on the one hand, and any other such party on the other, as the case may be, as
such affiliation or relationship relates to the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C23 transaction (or an
Other Securitization, if applicable), and (ii) provide to the Depositor a description of such legal proceedings, affiliations

agreement, otherwise no later than the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Depositor of
such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information
reasonably requested by the Depositor so that it may comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K as it relates

(c)          With
respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent the out-of-pocket cost thereof (including any
reasonable attorney fees) is paid or caused to be paid by the applicable party set forth below in this Section 13.2(c),
take all actions reasonably requested of it to enable such Other Securitization to comply with Regulation AB. For the avoidance
of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate
Administrator shall, if requested by the depositor for such Other Securitization, provide disclosure (in substantially the same
form as the disclosure provided by it in the Prospectus Supplement, to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with Regulation
AB) regarding the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, respectively,
as reasonably and in good faith determined by the depositor in such Other Securitization to be required by Regulation AB for inclusion
in disclosure documents with respect to such Other Securitization, together with an opinion of counsel as to the compliance of
such disclosure with the requirements of Regulation AB and indemnification substantially similar to that provided in connection
with the offering of the Certificates regarding damages incurred in connection with the non-compliance with the requirements of
Regulation AB relating to the disclosure referred to in this sentence.


 


The
out-of-pocket cost of the information, opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and indemnification agreement(s) provided by or on
behalf of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this
Section 13.2(c) shall be paid or caused to be paid (pursuant to a payment arrangement reasonably acceptable to the delivering
party and the receiving party and agreed to as a condition precedent to delivery of such items) by the applicable Seller that
transferred the related Serviced Companion Loan to the related Other Depositor for inclusion in such Other Securitization; provided,
that if any such information is provided in connection with the termination, removal, resignation or any other replacement of
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement, the

any Person appointed as a subcontractor or agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee,

purpose is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or with the provisions
of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission; and (ii) cause each such sub-servicing agreement to
entitle the Depositor to terminate such sub-servicing agreement upon any such breach without the consent of any other Person.
The Depositor is hereby authorized to exercise the rights described in the preceding clause (ii) in its sole discretion.

to the immediately succeeding paragraph, be reported by the parties set forth on Schedule XI and directed to the Depositor
and the Certificate Administrator (or the Master Servicer, as specified in the immediately succeeding paragraph) for approval
by the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare
any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure which is to be reported by it as set forth
on Schedule XI) absent such reporting, direction and approval. The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form
10-D filed by it (i) to the extent such information is provided to the Certificate Administrator by the Depositor for inclusion
therein, (a) the information required by Rule 15Ga-1(a)
under the Exchange Act concerning all assets of the Trust that were subject of a demand to repurchase or replace for breach of
the representations and warranties and (b) a reference to the most recent Form ABS-15G
filed by the Depositor and each Seller, if applicable, and the Commission assigned “Central Index Key” number for
each such filer, (ii) to the extent such information is provided to the Certificate Administrator by the Master Servicer for inclusion
therein within the time period described in the immediately succeeding paragraph,
the balances of the Collection Account and any REO Account as of the related Distribution Date and as of the immediately preceding
Distribution Date and (iii) the balances of the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Reserve Account and the TA Unused Fees Account, in each case as of the related Distribution Date and as of the immediately preceding
Distribution Date. The Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall be entitled together to determine the manner of
the presentation of such information (including the dates as of which such information is presented) in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations.


 


For
so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, within five (5) calendar days after the related
Distribution Date, each Person identified on Schedule XI shall be required to provide to the Depositor and the Certificate
Administrator (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, the depositor and
the trustee in such Other Securitization), to the extent known by such person, the form and substance of the corresponding Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure set forth on Schedule XI, if applicable, and in a form readily convertible to an EDGAR-compatible
format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and such party; provided,
that information relating to any REO Account to be reported under Item 8: Other Information on Schedule XI shall be reported
by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer within four (4) calendar days after the related Distribution Date. Any such Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered to it via email at cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com.
Each Person set forth on Schedule XI hereto shall include with such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure an Additional Disclosure
Notification in the form attached hereto as Schedule XIV. The Certificate Administrator shall provide prompt notice to
the Depositor (or, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan deposited into an Other Securitization, the depositor and the trustee
in such Other Securitization) to the extent the Certificate Administrator is notified of an event reportable on Form 10-D for
which it has not received the necessary Additional Form 10-D Disclosure from such party. The Certificate Administrator shall have
no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Schedule XI of their duties
under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from any such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure

information.
Unless otherwise directed by the Depositor, and subject to any comments received to such disclosure from the Depositor by the
second (2nd) calendar day after such fifth (5th) calendar day after the related Distribution Date, the Certificate
Administrator shall include the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on the related Form 10-D. The Depositor
will be responsible for any reasonable fees charged and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection
with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph. Any notice delivered to the Certificate
Administrator pursuant to this paragraph shall be delivered by facsimile to (410) 715-2380 and by email to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com,
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Certificate Administrator to the other parties in writing.


 


On
or prior to the end of business on the 11th calendar day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day) after the related Distribution Date the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and deliver electronically the Form
10-D to the Depositor for review. No later than the end of business on the 12th calendar day after the related Distribution
Date, the Depositor shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes
to such Form 10-D. No later than the end of business on the 13th calendar day after the related Distribution Date,
the Depositor shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of its approval of
such Form 10-D, and shall sign the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed
hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Certificate Administrator. Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking
“yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports),
and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby instructs the Certificate
Administrator, with respect to each Form 10-D, to check “yes” for each item unless the Certificate Administrator has
received prior written notice (which may be furnished electronically) from the Depositor that the answer should be “no”
for an item which notice shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator no later than the end of business on the 5th
calendar day after the related Distribution Date. The Certificate Administrator shall (a) file such Form 10-D not later
than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 10-D Filing Deadline or (b) use commercially reasonable best efforts to file such Form
10-D, if the Certificate Administrator received the signed Form 10-D after the signing deadline set forth in Section 13.14,
not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 10-D Filing Deadline; provided that if the Certificate Administrator
cannot file the Form 10-D prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding clause (b), the Certificate Administrator
shall file such Form 10-D as soon as possible thereafter. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form
10-D needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 13.8(b). After
filing with the Commission, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly, pursuant to Section 5.4, make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Certificate Administrator. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge (and each Additional Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant shall be required to acknowledge)
that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 13.4 related to the timely preparation
and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties (and, to the extent applicable, any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function
Participant) observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their


 






    	397



    	 



    

 


duties
under this Section 13.4. 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 or file such Form 10-D 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 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. Any notices or draft Form 10-D delivered to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 13.4 shall be delivered
by email to cmbs_filings@morganstanley.com, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Depositor to the
other parties in writing.


 


Section
13.5     Form 10-K Filing. On or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 90th calendar
day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust
or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”)
(it being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December 31st of each year), commencing in March 2016,
the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of
the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following
items, in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator within the applicable time frames
set forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for each Certifying Servicer,
as set forth under Section 13.9,
(ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of compliance with
Servicing Criteria for each Reporting Servicer, as set forth under Section 13.10, and (B) if any Reporting Servicer’s
report on assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria described under Section 13.10 identifies any material instance
of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment
of compliance with Servicing Criteria described under Section 13.10 is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure
that such report is not included and an explanation as to why such report is not included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting
firm attestation report for each Reporting Servicer, as set forth under Section 13.11, and
(B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report described under Section 13.11
identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such
registered public accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K,
disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation as to why such report is not included, and (iv) a Sarbanes-Oxley
Certification as set forth in Section 13.6. Any disclosure or information in addition
to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”)
shall, pursuant to the paragraph immediately below, be reported by the parties set forth on Schedule XII and directed to
the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator for approval by the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator will have no duty
or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure (other than such Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure which is to be reported by it as set forth on Schedule XII) absent such reporting, direction and approval.


 


For
so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust in the related Other Securitization, are subject
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, no later than March 7th of each year subsequent to the fiscal year
that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2016, each Person identified on Schedule
XII shall be required to provide to the Depositor (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into
an Other Securitization, the depositor and the trustee in such Other


 






    	398



    	 



    

 


Securitization)
and the Certificate Administrator, to the extent known by such Person, the form and substance of the corresponding Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure as set forth on Schedule XII, if applicable, and in a form that is readily convertible to an EDGAR-compatible
form (to the extent available to such party in such format), or in such other form as otherwise agreed by the Depositor, the Certificate
Administrator and such Person. Any such Additional Form 10-K Disclosure to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator shall
be delivered to it via email at cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com. Each Person set forth on Schedule XII hereto
shall include with such Additional Form 10-K Disclosure an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Schedule
XIV. The Certificate Administrator shall, at any time prior to filing the related Form 10-K, provide prompt notice to the
Depositor to the extent the Certificate Administrator is notified of an event reportable on Form 10-K for which it has not received
the necessary Additional Form 10-K Disclosure from such party. The Certificate Administrator has no duty under this Agreement
to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Schedule XII of their duties under this paragraph or
to proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure information. Unless otherwise directed
by the Depositor, and subject to any comments received to such disclosure from the Depositor by March 15th, the Certificate
Administrator shall include the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on the related Form 10-K. The Depositor
will be responsible for any reasonable fees charged and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection
with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph. Any notice delivered to the Certificate
Administrator pursuant to this paragraph shall be delivered by facsimile to (410) 715-2380 and by email to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com,
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Certificate Administrator to the other parties in writing.


 


On
or prior to the end of business on March 23rd (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business
Day), the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and deliver electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for
review. No later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, a senior
officer in charge of securitization of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed
Form 10-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Certificate Administrator. Form 10-K requires
the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required
to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant
was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor
hereby instructs the Certificate Administrator, with respect to each Form 10-K, to check “yes” for each item unless
the Certificate Administrator has received prior written notice (which may be furnished electronically) from the Depositor that
the answer should be “no” for an item which notice shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator no later than
5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 15th calendar day of March in any year in which the Trust is required to file a Form 10-K.
The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any Form
10-K. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator
will follow the procedures set forth in Section 13.8(b). After filing with the Commission, the Certificate Administrator
shall, pursuant to Section 5.4, make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K prepared
and filed by the Certificate Administrator. The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at the


 






    	399



    	 



    

 


address
identified in Section 14.5. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge (and each Additional Servicer and each Servicing
Function Participant shall be required to acknowledge) that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under
this Section 13.5 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and, to the
extent applicable, any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant) observing all applicable deadlines in the performance
of their duties under this Article XIII. The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability with respect to any failure
to properly prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K resulting 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 10-K on a timely basis, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Any notices or
draft Form 10-K delivered to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 13.5 shall be delivered by email to cmbs_filings@morganstanley.com,
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Depositor to the other parties in writing.


 


If
a Form 10-K is permitted to be filed notwithstanding any missing information for inclusion therein, the Certificate Administrator
shall nonetheless file such Form 10-K and, if Regulation AB (or Form 10-K itself) permits the inclusion of an explanation why
such information is missing, the Certificate Administrator shall include such explanation of the circumstances (such explanation
to be based solely on such notice regarding the same as may have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator by the person
responsible for the missing information).


 


Section
13.6          Sarbanes-Oxley Certification.


 


Each
Form 10-K shall include a certification (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Certification”), exactly as set forth in Exhibit
P-1 attached hereto, required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Each Reporting Servicer shall provide,
and each Reporting Servicer shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other
than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship on or prior to the Closing Date with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and (b) cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with
which it has entered into a servicing relationship after the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans to provide, to the
Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by noon (New York City time) on
March 10th (with no grace period) of each year subsequent to the fiscal year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, a certification (each, a “Performance Certification”), in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit P-2, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer,
and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, the “Certification
Parties”) can reasonably rely. The senior officer in charge of securitization of the Depositor shall serve as the Certifying
Person on behalf of the Trust. Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted at the address identified in Section
14.5. If any Reporting Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing
agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be, such Reporting Servicer shall provide a Performance Certification
and a reliance certificate to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 13.6 with respect to the period of time it
was subject to this Agreement or the applicable sub-servicing or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be.


 






    	400



    	 



    




 


Each
Performance Certification shall include a reasonable reliance provision enabling the Certification Parties to rely upon each (i)
annual compliance statement (as applicable) provided pursuant to Section 13.9, (ii) annual report on assessment of compliance
with Servicing Criteria provided pursuant to Section 13.10 and (iii) registered public accounting firm attestation report
provided pursuant to Section 13.11 and shall include a certification that each such annual report on assessment of compliance
discloses any material instances of noncompliance described to the registered public accountants of such Reporting Servicer to
enable such accountants to render the attestation provided for in Section 13.11.


 


If
any Serviced Companion Loan is deposited into a commercial mortgage securitization, and the applicable Reporting Servicer is provided
with timely and complete contact information for the parties to the Other Securitization and the person signing the Other Securitization’s
Sarbanes-Oxley Certification, such Reporting Servicer shall provide to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification with
respect to an Other Securitization a Performance Certification (which shall address the matters contained in the Performance Certification,
but solely with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan), upon which such certifying person, the entity for which the certifying
person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates can reasonably rely. With respect to any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced under a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure a Sarbanes-Oxley back-up certification from the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Certificate Administrator, Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Custodian and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee in form and substance similar to a Performance Certification
or in the form specified in the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly
forward to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor any such Sarbanes-Oxley back-up certification received by the Master
Servicer.


 


Section
13.7          Form 8-K Filings.


 


Within
four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure (the “8-K Filing Deadline”) under
Form 8-K (each a “Reportable Event”), the Certificate Administrator, at the direction of the Depositor, shall
prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall
file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable
Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall, pursuant
to the paragraph immediately below, be reported by any party set forth on Schedule XIII to which such Reportable Event
relates and such Form 8-K Disclosure Information shall be directed to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator for approval
by the Depositor. The Certificate Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare
any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (other than such Form 8-K Disclosure Information which is to be reported by it as set forth
on Schedule XIII) absent such reporting, direction and approval.


 


As
set forth on Schedule XIII hereto, for so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust
in the related Other Securitization, are subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than noon (New York City
time) on the second


 






    	401



    	 



    

 


(2nd)
Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event the applicable Person identified on such Schedule XIII shall be
required to provide written notice to the Depositor (or with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an
Other Securitization, the depositor and the trustee in such Other Securitization) and the Certificate Administrator of, to the
extent known by such Person, the form and substance of the corresponding Form 8-K Disclosure Information, as set forth on Schedule
XIII, if applicable, and in a form that is readily convertible to an EDGAR-compatible form (to the extent available to such
party in such format), or in such other form as otherwise agreed by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and such Party.
Each Person set forth on Schedule XIII hereto shall include with such Form 8-K Disclosure Information an Additional Disclosure
Notification in the form attached hereto as Schedule XIV. Unless otherwise directed by the Depositor, and subject to any
comments received to such disclosure from the Depositor by the close of business on the second (2nd) Business Day after
such Reportable Event, the Certificate Administrator shall include the form and substance of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information
on the related Form 8-K. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees charged and out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Certificate Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this
paragraph. Any notice delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this paragraph shall be delivered by facsimile to
(410) 715-2380 and by email to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished
by the Certificate Administrator to the other parties in writing.


 


No
later than noon (New York City time) on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Certificate Administrator
shall prepare the Form 8-K. No later than the end of business on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event, the
Depositor (or with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into an Other Securitization, the depositor in such
Other Securitization) shall sign the Form 8-K. If so directed by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall (a) file such
Form 8-K not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 4th Business Day after the related Reportable Event or
(b) use reasonable best efforts to file such Form 8-K, if the Certificate Administrator received the signed Form 8-K after the
end of business on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event, not later than 5:30 pm (New York City time) on
the 4th Business Day after the related Reportable Event; provided that if the Certificate Administrator
cannot file the Form 8-K prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding clause (b), the Certificate Administrator
shall file such Form 8-K as soon as possible thereafter. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K
needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 13.8(b). After filing
with the Commission, the Certificate Administrator will, pursuant to Section 5.4, make available on its internet website
a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by the Certificate Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge
(and each Additional Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant shall be required to acknowledge) that the performance by
the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 13.7 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form
8-K is contingent upon such parties (and, to the extent applicable, any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant)
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 13.7. 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
and/or timely file such 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


 






    	402



    	 



    

 


prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided
that the Certificate Administrator shall prepare, arrange for execution and file such Form 8-K where such information from
such other party is not received on a timely basis or not provided by such other party. Any notices or draft Form 8-K delivered
to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 13.7 shall be delivered by email to cmbs_filings@morganstanley.com, or
such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Depositor to the other parties in writing.


 


Notwithstanding
the second preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian,
each Sub-Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant, shall promptly notify (and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, each Sub-Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant shall (a)
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Sub-Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to
this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and (b) cause each Sub-Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which
it has entered into a servicing relationship after the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to promptly notify) the
Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, but in no event later than noon on the second (2nd) Business Day after
its occurrence, of any Reportable Event of which it has actual knowledge to the extent such party is identified as a “Responsible
Party” on Schedule XIII with regard to such Reportable Event.


 


Section
13.8          Suspension of Exchange Act Filings; Incomplete Exchange Act Filings;
Amendments to Exchange Act Reports.


 


(a)          On
or before January 30 of the first year in which the Certificate Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Certificate
Administrator, at the direction of the Depositor, shall prepare and file any form necessary to be filed with the Commission to
suspend reporting in respect of the Trust under the Exchange Act. After the filing of any such form, the obligations of the parties
to this Agreement under Sections 13.2(b), 13.4, 13.5, 13.6 and 13.7 shall be suspended
for so long as neither the Trust nor, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust in the related Other Securitization,
is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The Certificate Administrator shall provide each Reporting Servicer
and each Seller with prompt written notice (which notice may be sent via facsimile or by email) if the Certificate Administrator
files any such forms that effectuates the suspension of the Trust’s Exchange Act reporting obligations pursuant to this
Section 13.8(a).


 


(b)          The
Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Depositor (which notice may be sent by facsimile or by email and which shall
include the identity of those Reporting Servicers who did not deliver such information) and each Reporting Servicer that failed
to deliver such information required to be delivered by it under this Agreement, if all, or any portion of, any required disclosure
information to be included in any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement is not delivered
to it within the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement (including annual compliance statements pursuant to Section
13.9, annual reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria pursuant to Section 13.10 and attestation
reports pursuant to Section 13.11). If the Certificate Administrator


 






    	403



    	 



    

 


is
unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required to be filed
by this Agreement because required disclosure information either was not delivered to it or was delivered to it after the delivery
deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Depositor
(which may be sent by facsimile or by email, and which notice shall include the identity of those Reporting Servicers who either
did not deliver such information or delivered such information to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement)
and each Reporting Servicer that failed to make such delivery. In the case of Form 10-D and Form 10-K, each such Reporting Servicer
shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A
and Form 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act, which forms shall be filed no later than one calendar
day after the original due date for the related Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate
Administrator shall, 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 Form 10-D that is required to be filed on behalf of the Trust. If any previously
filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Depositor and such
other parties as may be required and such parties shall reasonably cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A
or Form 10-K/A. Any form filed under Section 13.8(a), Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K

by a duly authorized officer of the Depositor, and in the case of Form 10-K, by a senior officer of the Depositor in charge of
securitization. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge (and each Additional Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant
shall be required to acknowledge) that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 13.8
related to the timely preparation and filing of any form filed under Section 13.8(a), a Form 12b-25 or any amendment
to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and, to the extent applicable, any Additional Servicer or
Servicing Function Participant) performing their duties under this Section 13.8(b). 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 and/or
timely file any such form filed under Section 13.8(a), Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D 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 filed under Section 13.8(a),
Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

such party to prepare such information, which information is contained in a report (an “ARP Report”) filed
by the Depositor under the Reporting Requirements and which comments are received subsequent to the Depositor’s filing of
such report, the Depositor shall promptly provide to such Affected Reporting Party any such comments which relate to such Affected
Reporting Party. Such Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for timely preparing a written response to the Commission
for inclusion in the Depositor’s response to the Commission, unless such Affected Reporting Party elects, with the consent
of the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission
and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission; provided, that if an Affected Reporting Party is a Servicing
Function Participant or Sub-Servicer retained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require the Servicing Function Participant or Sub-Servicer to provide it with, and

with respect to any requests made to the Commission for extension of time for submitting a response or compliance. All respective
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside
counsel to the Depositor) in connection with the circumstances described in the first sentence of this paragraph (other than those
costs and expenses required to be at the Depositor’s expense as set forth above) and any amendments to any ARP Reports filed
with the Commission therewith shall be promptly paid by the applicable Affected Reporting Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice
from the Depositor. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant or Sub-Servicer retained
by it to comply with the foregoing by inclusion of similar provisions in the related sub-servicing or similar agreement.


 


The
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Custodian and the Trustee shall (a)

judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such


 






    	411



    	 



    

 


Certification
Party arising out of (i) a breach of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of
servicing criteria or attestation reports pursuant to this Agreement, or the applicable sub-servicing or primary servicing agreement,
as applicable, (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part in the performance of such obligations thereunder
or (iii) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable with respect to such Additional Servicer.


 


If
the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator, each Additional
Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) shall (and the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Custodian and the Trustee shall (a) use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship
on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a party to this Agreement) and (b) cause each Additional
Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship after the Closing Date
with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a party to this Agreement), to) contribute to the amount paid or payable to the
Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing Party on the other
in connection with a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article XIII (or breach of its
representations or obligations under the applicable sub-servicing or primary servicing agreement to provide any of the annual
compliance statements or annual servicing criteria compliance reports or attestation reports or otherwise comply with the requirements
of this Article XIII) or the Performing Party’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee shall
(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant with which it has
entered into a servicing relationship on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a party to
this Agreement) and (b) cause each Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing
relationship after the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a party to this Agreement), to agree to the
foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.


 


Promptly
after receipt by the Certification Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Certification Party shall, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnifying Party hereunder, notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the
Certification Party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying
Party. In case any such action is brought against the Certification Party, after the Indemnifying Party has been notified of the
commencement of such action, such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and, to the
extent that it may wish, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly
notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certification Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Certification Party of its election to so assume the defense thereof,
the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Certification


 






    	412



    	 



    

 


Party
for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In
any such proceeding, the Certification Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Certification Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Certification Party shall
have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties and,
in the case of an investigation by the Commission, any parties that are, or whose reporting materials are, the subject of such
investigation) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Certification Party and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the Indemnifying Party fails
within a reasonable period of time to designate counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Certification Party (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In no event shall the Indemnifying Parties be liable for fees and expenses of
more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate from their own counsel for the Certification
Party in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the
same general allegations or circumstances. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent. However, if settled with such consent, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Certification Party
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is otherwise required
to do so under this Agreement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle
such proceeding with the consent of the Certification Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or,
if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the Certification Party in connection with all matters relating
to the proceeding that have been asserted against the Certification Party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement
and (ii) does not require an admission of fault by the Certification Party, without the consent of the Certification Party.

This
Article XIII, Schedule X, Schedule XI, Schedule XII and Schedule XIII may be amended by the
written consent of all of the parties hereto and, if any such amendment to Schedule X, Schedule XI, Schedule

or the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement) for purposes of
complying with Regulation AB or the Trust’s Exchange Act reporting obligations.

time
or if a previously filed Form 8-K or Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will follow the procedures set
forth in this Article XIII. The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at the address identified in Section
14.5.


 


Section
13.15     Significant Obligors.


 


With
respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Companion Loan that the Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer
in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) with respect to an Other
Securitization that includes such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall, after receipt of updated net operating income
information, (x) promptly deliver the financial statements of such “significant obligor” to the Other Depositor and
Other Trustee of such Other Securitization and (y) update the following columns of the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update
File related to such “significant obligor” for (a) the next applicable Distribution Date if the Master Servicer receives
the updated net operating income information on or before the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day prior
to the related Determination Date or (b) the subsequent Distribution Date if the Master Servicer receives the updated net operating
income information after the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the related Determination
Date: BB, BP, BT and BU (corresponding fields 54 – “Preceding Fiscal Year NOI,” 68 – “Most Recent
NOI,” 72 – “Most Recent Financial As of Start Date” and 73 – “Most Recent Financial As of
End Date”), as such column references and field numbers may change from time to time.


 


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


 


The
Master Servicer shall (or shall cause a Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer)
attempts to contact the borrower related to such “significant obligor” to obtain the required financial information
and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is
required to be filed by the Other Securitization, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain
this information to the certificate administrator and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization. This Officer’s
Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other
Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

is permitted by this Agreement at the expense of the party requesting the amendment.

(f)          It

amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents
and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Holders shall be in writing and shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.


 


(g)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.3, the parties hereto agree that this Agreement may not be amended

Serviced B Note or the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, respectively.


 


(h)          Notwithstanding
any contrary provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended in a manner that would increase the obligations or

shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed

Section
14.12     Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the Mortgage Loans and related rights and property to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, by the Depositor
as provided in Section 2.1 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage Loans and related property. It
is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and related property
by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, if, notwithstanding the intent
of the parties, the Mortgage Loans or any related property is held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason
this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans or any related property, then this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a security agreement; and the conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a
grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee,
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title, and interest, whether
now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in, to and under:


 


(i)          the
property described in clauses (1)-(4) below (regardless of whether subject to the UCC or how classified thereunder)
and all accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit,
goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the property
described in clauses (1)-(4) below: (1) the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including
the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements, and title, hazard and other insurance policies, including all Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loans, all distributions with respect thereto payable on and after the Cut-Off Date, and the Mortgage Files;
(2) the Distribution Account, all REO Accounts, the Collection Account, and the Reserve Accounts, including all property
therein and all income from the investment of funds therein (including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment
purchased at a discount); (3) the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC II Regular Interests; and (4) the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreements that are permitted to be assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 14 thereof;


 






    	422



    	 



    




 


(ii)          all
accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods,
letters of credit, advices of credit, investment property, and other rights arising from or by virtue of the disposition of, or
collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or claims against other Persons with respect to, all
or any part of the collateral described in clause (i) above (including any accrued discount realized on liquidation
of any investment purchased at a discount); and


 


(iii)          all
cash and non-cash Proceeds (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of the collateral described in clauses (i) and
(ii) above.


 


The
possession by the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) of the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages and such other goods, advices
of credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities and the possession by the Master Servicer (on
the Trustee’s behalf) of the letters of credit shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a
purchaser for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code (including, without limitation,
Sections 8-301 and 9-315 thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.


 


Notifications
to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be
deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents
of, or persons holding for, the Trustee, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law.


 


The
Depositor and, at the Depositor’s direction, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Master Servicer shall prepare
and make all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in such property, including without limitation
(i) continuation statements, and (ii) such other statements as may be occasioned by any transfer of any interest of
the Master Servicer or the Depositor in such property. In connection herewith, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies
of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.


 


Section
14.13     Recordation of Agreement. 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, if
any, shall be effected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust as an Additional Trust Expense, but only upon direction
of the Depositor accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of the Certificateholders of the Trust.

Section

the Sellers will pay the ongoing monitoring fees of the Rating Agencies relating to the rating of the Certificates and that no
surveillance fees are payable subsequent to the Closing Date in respect of the rating of the Certificates.


 


Section
14.15     Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ASSIGNMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER
WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL
BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE
OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ASSIGNMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF.
THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASSIGNMENT.


 


Section
14.16     Submission to Jurisdiction. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH
PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY
WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; (II) AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MATTERS
MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS; (III) WAIVES THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING SUCH CLAIMS IN ANY SUCH COURT; AND (IV) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PROVIDED BY LAW.


 


Section
14.17     Limitation on Rights of Holders.


 


(a)          The
death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s
legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding
up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.


 


(b)          Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have
any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the Master Servicer or 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


 






    	424



    	 



    

 


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 person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this
Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.


 


(c)          No
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision
of this Agreement or any Certificate to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect
to this Agreement or any Certificate unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the Aggregate Certificate
Balance of the Certificates then outstanding 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 reasonable indemnity as it may require
against the cost, 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 indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding
and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given the Trustee during such sixty-day period by such Certificateholders;
it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder
and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing
of any provision of this Agreement or any Certificate to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of
such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement or any Certificate, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For
the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled
to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.


 


(d)          No
Certificateholder shall be “Party in Interest” as described under 11 U.S.C. Section 1109(b) solely by virtue of its
ownership of a Certificate.


 


Section
14.18     Acts of Holders of Certificates.


 


(a)          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken
by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, if made in the
manner provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee and the Custodian agrees to promptly notify the Depositor of any such instrument
or instruments received by it, and to promptly forward copies of the same.


 






    	425



    	 



    

 


(b)          The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of
such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such notary public or other officer the execution
thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation
or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such officer’s or member’s
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing
the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.


 


(c)          The
ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee
or the Custodian) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Depositor or the Certificate
Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


(d)          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind
every future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof
or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Custodian,
the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

14.19     Compliance with Patriot Act. In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive
orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities
and money laundering (“Applicable Laws”), each of the parties hereto may be required to obtain, verify and
record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with such party. Accordingly,

such identifying information and documentation as may be available in order to enable the requesting party to comply with Applicable
Laws.


 


Section
14.20     Precautionary Trust Indenture Act Provisions. If the Depositor notifies the parties to
this Agreement that it has determined, in consultation with the Trustee, that the TIA applies to this Agreement or that qualification
under the TIA or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted is required (any such determination by the Depositor, a “TIA
Applicability Determination”), then, (i) in the case of the TIA, pursuant to Section 318 of the TIA (assuming such section
is then in effect), the provisions of Sections 310 to and including Section 317 of the TIA that impose duties on any person are
part of and govern this Agreement, whether or not physically contained herein, as and to the extent provided in Section 318 of
the TIA; provided, that it shall be deemed that the parties to this Agreement have agreed that, to the extent permitted
under the TIA, this Agreement shall expressly exclude any non-mandatory provisions that (x) conflict with the provisions of this
Agreement or would otherwise alter the provisions of this Agreement or (y) increase the obligations, liabilities or scope of responsibility
of any party hereto; (ii) the parties agree to cooperate in good faith with the Depositor to make such amendments to modify, eliminate
or add to the provisions of this Agreement to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of this Agreement under the TIA
or such similar statute and to add to this Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA or as may be
determined by the parties to be beneficial for compliance with the TIA; and (iii) upon the direction of the Depositor, the Trustee
shall file a Form T-1 or such other form as the Depositor informs the Trustee is required, with the Commission or other appropriate
institution.


 


Section
14.21     Limitation on Liability of the Depositor and Others. Neither the Depositor nor any of the
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers or agents of the Depositor shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders,
the Trust, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Underwriters,
the Initial Purchasers, the holder of any Serviced B Note or the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan, and the Depositor (and
any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers or agents) shall be entitled to indemnification from
the Trust for any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other
costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by it, arising out of or for any action
taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith and using reasonable business judgment; provided,
that this provision shall not protect the Depositor or any such person against any breach of a representation or warranty contained
herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor and any Affiliate,
director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person


 






    	427



    	 



    

 


respecting
any matters arising hereunder. In addition, in no event shall the Depositor be obligated to cause any party to perform or comply
with the obligations to remit the CREFC® License Fee to CREFC® (as described in Section 5.2(a)),
to report any such CREFC® License Fee so paid (as described in Section 8.11(a)) or to make available any

which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing
Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust

The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate

the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the
face hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates.


 





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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.





 


Distributions
of principal of and interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and
subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related
Determination Date (a “Distribution Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day
of each month, or, if the 11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination
Date”), commencing on July 13, 2015. 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

Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this
Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution
Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the amount to be distributed on the Class A-1 Certificates
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.

    	A-1-3



    	 



    




 


Collateral
Support Deficits shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any Class of Principal
Balance Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.





 


The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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 nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to such Holder’s address as it appears on
the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator on or prior to
the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date prior to any
Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator five
(5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account
specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate will
be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the pendency
of such final distribution.





 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
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-1-4



    	 



    




 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons,
in minimum denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


  


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.


  


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested
by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall be made through the book entry facilities
of DTC.


  


The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator,
the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the
Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent
or any such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


  


The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of
the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate on the earliest

of Section 11.1(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration
of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States
to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. The parties designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may exercise
their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and any other property remaining in the Trust and cause the termination of the Trust
in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust and payment
of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed
to the holders of the Class R Certificates.

 To
the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. 

 

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust

The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate

face hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-2 Certificates.


  


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.

of the Trust.


  


All
distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to such Holder’s address as it appears on
the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator on or prior to
the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date prior to any
Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator five
(5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account
specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate will

of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange

As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are

Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent
or any such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States
to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. The parties designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may exercise
their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and any other property remaining in the Trust and cause the termination of the Trust
in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust and payment
of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed

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 parties thereto. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of

Balance of the Class A-S Certificates (as increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect any exchanges of Exchangeable
Certificates).

with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and
obligations of the parties thereto. 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 Holder of this

with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and
obligations of the parties thereto. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of

herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement

To

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust. This Certificate represents an interest in the Class C Certificates equal to the
quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face
hereof (subject to adjustments reflected on the schedule of exchanges attached hereto) by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance
of the Class C Certificates (as increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect any exchanges of Exchangeable Certificates).


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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 is registered on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the
11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July
13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this
Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution
Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the amount to be distributed on the Class C Certificates
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.


 


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
CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through
certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account
and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust. This Certificate represents an interest in the Class X-B Certificates equal
to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Notional Amount of this Certificate specified on the
face hereof by the initial aggregate Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates.


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.


 


Distributions
of interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject to the limitations
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date (a “Distribution
Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the 11th day is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July 13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of this Certificate


 






    	A-11-4



    	 



    

 


immediately
prior to each Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this
Certificate’s pro rata share of the amount to be distributed on the Class X-B Certificates 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.


 


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
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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 [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s
address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator
on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date
prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator
five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the
pendency of such final distribution.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 






    	A-11-5



    	 



    

 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: This Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or
more Global Certificates only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of a Regulation S Certificate (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) required by
Article III of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for one or
more Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate.]


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer
of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or
one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt,
may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) 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 such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined
in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests
in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing


 






    	A-11-6



    	 



    

 


Agreement
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.


 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-B Certificates will be issued in denominations of $100,000
initial Notional Amount and in any whole dollar denomination in excess thereof.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 


As
and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not
limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate
of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate of the applicable
Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of
the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Rule 144A Global
Certificate of the applicable Class.


 


[FOR
GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall
be made through the book entry facilities of DTC.]


 


The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator,
the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the
Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent
or any such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of
the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate
on the earliest of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
the Trust (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution
to the Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the outstanding Certificates
(other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s interest in
any REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the


 






    	A-11-7



    	 



    

 


terms
of Section 11.1(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond
the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. The parties designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
may exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and any other property remaining in the Trust and cause the termination
of the Trust in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust
and payment of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust
shall be distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates.


 


The
Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


THIS
CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND

THIS
CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through
certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account
and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust. This Certificate represents an interest in the Class X-FG Certificates equal to
the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Notional Amount of this Certificate specified on the face
hereof by the initial aggregate Notional Amount of the Class X-FG Certificates.


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.


 


Distributions
of interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject to the limitations
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date (a “Distribution
Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the 11th day is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July 13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of this Certificate


 






    	A-12-4



    	 



    

 


immediately
prior to each Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this
Certificate’s pro rata share of the amount to be distributed on the Class X-FG Certificates 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.


 


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
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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 [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s
address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator
on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date
prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator
five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the
pendency of such final distribution.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 






    	A-12-5



    	 



    

 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: This Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or
more Global Certificates only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of a Regulation S Certificate (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) required by
Article III of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for one or
more Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate.]


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer
of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or
one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt,
may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) 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 such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined
in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests
in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing


 






    	A-12-6



    	 



    

 


Agreement
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.


 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-FG Certificates will be issued in denominations of $100,000 initial
Notional Amount and in any whole dollar denomination in excess thereof.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 


As
and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not
limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate
of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate of the applicable
Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of
the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Rule 144A Global
Certificate of the applicable Class.


 


[FOR
GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall
be made through the book entry facilities of DTC.]


 


The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator,
the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the
Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent
or any such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of
the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate
on the earliest of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
the Trust (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution
to the Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the outstanding Certificates
(other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s interest in
any REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the


 






    	A-12-7



    	 



    

 


terms
of Section 11.1(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond
the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. The parties designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
may exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and any other property remaining in the Trust and cause the termination
of the Trust in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust
and payment of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust
shall be distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates.

Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

MORGAN
STANLEY CAPITAL I INC.


 


THIS
CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through
certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account
and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust. This Certificate represents an interest in the Class X-H Certificates equal to
the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Notional Amount of this Certificate specified on the face
hereof by the initial aggregate Notional Amount of the Class X-H Certificates.


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.


 


Distributions
of interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject to the limitations
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date (a “Distribution
Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the 11th day is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July 13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of this Certificate


 



    	A-13-5



    	 



    




 


immediately
prior to each Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this
Certificate’s pro rata share of the amount to be distributed on the Class X-H Certificates 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.


 


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
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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 [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s
address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator
on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date
prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator
five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the
pendency of such final distribution.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 



    	A-13-6



    	 



    




 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: This Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or
more Global Certificates only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of a Regulation S Certificate (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) required by
Article III of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for one or
more Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate.]


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


No
transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts, the
assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified
by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is
directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or such interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of,
or with “plan assets” of a Plan, unless: (i) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or such interest herein
qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60; or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate held as a Definitive
Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel
which establish to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Laws or subject any party to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Each Person who acquires any Non-Investment Grade Certificate as a Definitive Certificate (unless it shall have acquired such
Certificate from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or unless it shall have delivered to the Certificate Registrar the certification
of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the
Certificate Registrar a certification in the form of Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
that includes a certification to the effect that: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of
a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Person qualifies for the exemptive
relief available under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions”
rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.


 



    	A-13-7



    	 



    




 


No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer
of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or
one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt,
may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) 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 such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined
in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests
in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against
any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.


 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-H Certificates will be issued in denominations of $100,000 initial
Notional Amount and in any whole dollar denomination in excess thereof.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 


As
and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not
limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate
of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate


 



    	A-13-8



    	 



    




 


of
the applicable Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global
Certificate of the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in
a Rule 144A Global Certificate of the applicable Class.


 


[FOR
GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall
be made through the book entry facilities of DTC.]


 


The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator,
the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the
Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent
or any such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of
the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate
on the earliest of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
the Trust (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution
to the Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the outstanding Certificates
(other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s interest in
any REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
provided that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.
The parties designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and any
other property remaining in the Trust and cause the termination of the Trust in accordance with the requirements set forth in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust and payment of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses
associated with the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates.


 


The
Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

THIS
CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through
certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account
and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust. This Certificate represents an interest in the Class D Certificates equal to the
quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face
hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class D Certificates.


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.


 


Distributions
of principal of and interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject
to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date
(a “Distribution Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the
11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July
13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this
Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution
Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the


 



    	A-14-4



    	 



    




 


amount
to be distributed on the Class D Certificates 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.


 


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.


 


Collateral
Support Deficits shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any Class of Principal
Balance Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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 [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s
address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator
on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date
prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator
five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to
an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the
pendency of such final distribution.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the


 



    	A-14-5



    	 



    




 


Certificate.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of any of the Certificates.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: This Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or
more Global Certificates only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of a Regulation S Certificate (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) required by
Article III of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for one or
more Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate.]


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer
of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or
one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt,
may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) 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 such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined
in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests
in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner


 



    	A-14-6



    	 



    




 


desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against
any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.


 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons,
in minimum denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 


As
and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not
limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate
of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate of the applicable
Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of
the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Rule 144A Global
Certificate of the applicable Class.


 


[FOR
GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall
be made through the book entry facilities of DTC.]


 


The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator,
the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the
Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent
or any such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of
the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate
on the earliest of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
(and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the
Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the


 



    	A-14-7



    	 



    




 


outstanding Certificates (other than
the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s interest in any REO Properties
in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that in no
event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph
P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. The parties designated
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and any other property remaining
in the Trust and cause the termination of the Trust in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust and payment of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the
Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates.


 


The
Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


THIS
CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND

THIS
CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through
certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account
and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust. This Certificate represents an interest in the Class E Certificates equal to the
quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face
hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class E Certificates.


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.


 


Distributions
of principal of and interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject
to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date
(a “Distribution Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the
11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July
13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this
Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution
Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the


 






    	A-15-5



    	 



    

 


amount
to be distributed on the Class E Certificates 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.


 


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.


 


Collateral
Support Deficits shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any Class of Principal
Balance Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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 [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s
address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator
on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date
prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator
five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to
an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the
pendency of such final distribution.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the


 






    	A-15-6



    	 



    

 


Certificate.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of any of the Certificates.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: This Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or
more Global Certificates only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of a Regulation S Certificate (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) required by
Article III of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for one or
more Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate.]


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer
of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or
one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt,
may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) 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 such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined
in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests
in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner


 






    	A-15-7



    	 



    

 


desiring
to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each
Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.


 


No
transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts, the
assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified
by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is
directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or such interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of,
or with “plan assets” of a Plan, unless: (i) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or such interest herein
qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60; or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate held as a Definitive
Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel
which establish to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Laws or subject any party to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Each Person who acquires any Non-Investment Grade Certificate as a Definitive Certificate (unless it shall have acquired such
Certificate from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or unless it shall have delivered to the Certificate Registrar the certification
of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the
Certificate Registrar a certification in the form of Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
that includes a certification to the effect that: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of
a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Person qualifies for the exemptive
relief available under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions”
rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.


 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons,
in minimum denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 






    	A-15-8



    	 



    

 


As
and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not
limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate
of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate of the applicable
Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of
the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Rule 144A Global
Certificate of the applicable Class.


 


[FOR
GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall

event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph

THIS
CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through
certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account
and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust. This Certificate represents an interest in the Class F Certificates equal to the
quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face
hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates.


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.


 


Distributions
of principal of and interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject
to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date
(a “Distribution Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the
11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July
13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this
Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution
Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the


 






    	A-16-5



    	 



    

 


amount
to be distributed on the Class F Certificates 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.


 


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.


 


Collateral
Support Deficits shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any Class of Principal
Balance Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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 [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s
address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator
on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date
prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator
five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to
an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the
pendency of such final distribution.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the


 






    	A-16-6



    	 



    

 


Certificate.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of any of the Certificates.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: This Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or
more Global Certificates only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of a Regulation S Certificate (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) required by
Article III of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for one or
more Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate.]


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer
of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or
one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt,
may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) 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 such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined
in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests
in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner


 






    	A-16-7



    	 



    

 


desiring
to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each
Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.


 


No
transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts, the
assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified
by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is
directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or such interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of,
or with “plan assets” of a Plan, unless: (i) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or such interest herein
qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60; or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate held as a Definitive
Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel
which establish to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Laws or subject any party to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Each Person who acquires any Non-Investment Grade Certificate as a Definitive Certificate (unless it shall have acquired such
Certificate from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or unless it shall have delivered to the Certificate Registrar the certification
of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the
Certificate Registrar a certification in the form of Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
that includes a certification to the effect that: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of
a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Person qualifies for the exemptive
relief available under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions”
rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.


 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons,
in minimum denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 






    	A-16-8



    	 



    

 


As
and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not
limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate
of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate of the applicable
Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of
the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Rule 144A Global
Certificate of the applicable Class.


 


[FOR
GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall

THIS
CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through
certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account
and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust. This Certificate represents an interest in the Class G Certificates equal to the
quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face
hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class G Certificates.


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.


 


Distributions
of principal of and interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject
to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date
(a “Distribution Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the
11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July
13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this
Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution
Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the


 






    	A-17-5



    	 



    

 


amount
to be distributed on the Class G Certificates 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.


 


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.


 


Collateral
Support Deficits shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any Class of Principal
Balance Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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 [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s
address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator
on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date
prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator
five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the
pendency of such final distribution.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the


 






    	A-17-6



    	 



    

 


Certificate.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of any of the Certificates.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: This Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or
more Global Certificates only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of a Regulation S Certificate (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) required by
Article III of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for one or
more Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate.]


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer
of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or
one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt,
may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) 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 such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined
in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests
in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner


 






    	A-17-7



    	 



    

 


desiring
to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each
Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.


 


No
transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts, the
assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified
by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is
directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or such interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of,
or with “plan assets” of a Plan, unless: (i) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or such interest herein
qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60; or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate held as a Definitive
Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel
which establish to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Laws or subject any party to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Each Person who acquires any Non-Investment Grade Certificate as a Definitive Certificate (unless it shall have acquired such
Certificate from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or unless it shall have delivered to the Certificate Registrar the certification
of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the
Certificate Registrar a certification in the form of Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
that includes a certification to the effect that: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of
a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Person qualifies for the exemptive
relief available under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions”
rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.


 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons,
in minimum denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 






    	A-17-8



    	 



    

 





As
and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not
limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate
of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate of the applicable
Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of
the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Rule 144A Global
Certificate of the applicable Class.

GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &

CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through
certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account
and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust
2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23 (herein called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate

quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face
hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class H Certificates.


 


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 parties thereto. 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 Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder 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.

to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date
(a “Distribution Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered on the applicable Record Date. The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the
11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on July
13, 2015. 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 related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this
Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution
Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the


 






    	A-18-5



    	 



    

 


amount
to be distributed on the Class H Certificates 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.


 


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.


 


Collateral
Support Deficits shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any Class of Principal
Balance Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to 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, 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

(“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s
address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator
on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date
prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator
five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the
pendency of such final distribution.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified

such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the


 






    	A-18-6



    	 



    

 


Certificate.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of any of the Certificates.


 


[FOR
REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY: This Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or
more Global Certificates only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of a Regulation S Certificate (as defined in the Pooling Agreement) required by
Article III of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for one or
more Global Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate.]


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Certificate Registrar, 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
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer
of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act
(other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or
one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt,
may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) 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 such Certificateholder’s
prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the
Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined
in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests
in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.
Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner


 






    	A-18-7



    	 



    

 


desiring
to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each
Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.


 


No
transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts, the
assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified
by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is
directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or such interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of,
or with “plan assets” of a Plan, unless: (i) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or such interest herein
qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60; or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate held as a Definitive
Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel
which establish to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Laws or subject any party to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Each Person who acquires any Non-Investment Grade Certificate as a Definitive Certificate (unless it shall have acquired such
Certificate from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or unless it shall have delivered to the Certificate Registrar the certification
of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the
Certificate Registrar a certification in the form of Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
that includes a certification to the effect that: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of
a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Person qualifies for the exemptive
relief available under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions”
rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.


 


Subject
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons,
in minimum denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 






    	A-18-8



    	 



    

 


As
and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not
limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate
of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate of the applicable
Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of
the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Rule 144A Global
Certificate of the applicable Class.


 


[FOR
GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall
be made through the book entry facilities of DTC.]

or any such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


The

event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph

prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2A to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii)
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 such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee on which such


 



    	A-20-5



    	 



    

 


opinion
of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in
their respective capacities as such). No transfer of a Class R Certificate may be made in book-entry form or otherwise to a Person
that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and any certificate and/or opinion of counsel delivered pursuant to the preceding
sentence must reflect that the Transferee of a Class R Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer. No party to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act
or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the
transfer of any Certificate. Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests
therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.


 


No
transfer of a Class R Certificate or any interest therein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts, the
assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified
by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially similar
to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is directly or
indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan
assets” of a Plan. Each Person who acquires any Class R Certificate (unless it shall have acquired such Certificate from
the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof) shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification in the form of
Exhibit D-2A to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that includes a certification to the effect that it is neither a Plan
nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of a Plan.


 


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 and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate
Administrator under clause (F) of Section 3.3(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to deliver payments to a Person
other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Registrar under clause (G) of Section 3.3(e)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of Transfer
and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of such person acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:


 


(A)          (1)
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and a United
States Tax Person other than a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes)
any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other
than through a U.S.


 



    	A-20-6



    	 



    

 




corporation) by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee and (2) each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Qualified Institutional Buyer and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Qualified Institutional Buyer.


 


(B)          In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require
delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit
and agreement substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit E-1 (a “Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar.


 


(C)          Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of
the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is not a United States
Tax Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.


 


(D)          Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement 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 certificate
substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit E-2.


 


(E)          Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate that is a “pass-through interest holder”
within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate on behalf of a “pass-through interest holder”, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate,
agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written notice of its status as such immediately upon holding or acquiring such Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate.


 


(F)          If
any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of Section 3.3(e)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or if any Holder of a Class R Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted Transferee
or a United States Tax Person, then the last preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate that was in compliance with the provisions
of Section 3.3(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights
and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. None of
the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate
Administrator shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by Section 3.3(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or for making any payments due on such Certificate
to the Holder


 



    	A-20-7



    	 



    




 


thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.


 


(G)          If
any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in Section 3.3(e)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or if any Holder of a Class R Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted Transferee
or a United States Tax Person, and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights and obligations of the prior Holder
of such Class R Certificate as set forth in clause (F) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Certificate
Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Class R Certificate, but not the obligation,
to sell or cause to be sold such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such terms as the
Certificate Registrar may choose. Such noncomplying Holder shall promptly endorse and deliver such Class R Certificate in accordance
with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of
the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Certificate
Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such noncomplying
Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (G) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate
Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
as a result of its exercise of such discretion.


 


“Permitted
Transferee” means any Transferee other than: (a) a Disqualified Organization; (b) any other Person identified in an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee to the effect that the transfer of an ownership
interest in any Class R Certificate to such Person may cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding, (c) a Person that is a non-United States Tax 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 non-United States Tax Person or (e) a United States Tax Person with respect to whom 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 United States Tax Person.


 


“United
States Tax Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership (except to the extent
provided in applicable Treasury regulations) or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any
state of the United States or the District of Columbia, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax
regardless of the source of its income, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision
over the administration of such trust, and one or more such United States Tax Persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August
20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as United States Tax Persons). A person not described in the immediately preceding sentence
shall nevertheless be treated as a United States Tax Person if (i) in the hands of such person the income from a Class R Certificate
is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and such person has furnished


 






    	A-20-8



    	 



    




 


the
transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective IRS Form W-8ECI or other prescribed form or (ii) if in connection with
the proposed transfer of a Class R Certificate, the transferor provides an opinion of counsel to the Certificate Registrar to
the effect that such transfer will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-3.


 


“Disqualified
Organization” means any of (i) the United States, any State or any political subdivision thereof, 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 any such governmental
unit), (ii) a foreign government, international organization or any 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 Section 1381(a)(2) of the Code, and (v) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion
of Counsel that the holding of an ownership interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause (A) any of REMIC I, REMIC
II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, or (B) any of REMIC I, REMIC
II or REMIC III, 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.


 


The
provisions of Section 3.3(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that
there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor, an Opinion of Counsel (subject to Section 5.7 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a copy of
which shall be provided to each Rating Agency), in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
the Depositor, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC
Pool to (A) cease to qualify as a REMIC or (B) be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate
to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a tax
caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.


 


The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator,
the Certificate Registrar, the


 



    	A-20-9



    	 



    

 


Authenticating
Agent and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent or any such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


The
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of
the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate
on the earliest of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
(and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the
Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the outstanding Certificates (other than
the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s interest in any REO Properties in
the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that in no event
shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.
Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. The parties designated
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and any other property remaining
in the Trust and cause the termination of the Trust in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust and payment of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the
Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates.


 


The
Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


THIS
CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND

Ladies
and Gentlemen:


  


This
letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________
(the “Transferee”) of Class ______ Certificates having an initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount as
of _________ (the “Settlement Date”) of $__________ (the “Transferred Certificates”).  The
Certificates, including the Transferred Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced
transaction.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate
Registrar, that:


 


1.           The
Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) as that term
is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and has completed one of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1 and Annex 2.  The
Transferee is aware that the sale to it of the Transferred Certificates is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.  The
Transferee is acquiring the Transferred Certificates for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer,
and understands that such Transferred Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person reasonably
believed to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional
Buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant
to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act.


 


2.           The
Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Transferred Certificates and
distributions thereon, (c) the nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (d) the Pooling and Servicing





 



    	D-2A-1



    	 



    




 


Agreement,
(e) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Transferred Certificates and (f) all related matters that it has requested.


  


3.           Check
one of the following:


 





___       The
Transferee is a “U.S. Person” and has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or
successor form).


 





___       The
Transferee is an institution that 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 Administrator (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made
on the Transferred Certificates.  The Transferee has attached hereto either (i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN,
IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor forms), which identifies the Transferee as the beneficial owner of the Transferred Certificates
and states that the Transferee is not a U.S. Person, (ii) Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or (iii) two duly
executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify the Transferee as the beneficial owner of the Transferred
Certificates and states that interest and original issue discount on the Transferred Certificates is, or is expected to be, effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or business.  The Transferee agrees to provide to the Certificate Administrator (or its
agent) updated IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-8ECI, as the case may be, any applicable successor
IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Administrator (or its agent) may reasonably request, on or before the
date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring
a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Administrator (or its agent).


 





For
this purpose, “U.S. Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
a corporation or partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations) created or organized in or under
the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or
partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless
of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration
of such trust, and one or more United States fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust
(or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on October 20, 1996 which are eligible
to elect to be treated as U.S. Persons).


 


The
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized
to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry
with respect to the matters covered hereby.


 





4.           If
the Transferred Certificates are Class V or Class R Certificates, then the Transferee (A) is not an employee benefit plan
or other retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or annuity, a Keogh plan or a collective





 



    	D-2A-2



    	 



    




 


investment
fund or separate account, the assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation
Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, an insurance company general account,
that is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially similar to the foregoing provisions
of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), and (B) is not directly or indirectly purchasing the Transferred
Certificates or any interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of
a Plan.


  


5.           If
the Transferred Certificates are Non-Investment Grade Certificates (other than Class V or Class R Certificates), then
check the following paragraph that is applicable:





 


___       The
Transferee (A) is not a Plan (as defined in paragraph 4 above), and (B) is not directly or indirectly purchasing the
Transferred Certificates or any interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets”
of a Plan.


 


___       The
Transferee has provided the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel (copies of which are
attached hereto) to the effect that the transfer of the Transferred Certificates from the Transferor to the Transferee will not
constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or
any Similar Laws or subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. 


 


___       The
purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such person qualifies for the exemptive relief available under
Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions”
rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.

    commissioner or a similar official or agency of a State, U.S. territory or the District of Columbia.


  


	  	___	State or

if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase
agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.  For

4.         
    For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary
basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to
the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market.  Further, in determining
such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries
are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction.  However, such securities
were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not
itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


5.          
   The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other
parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one
or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.


 


___                                      Will
the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred Certificate




Yes         No                        only
for the Transferee’s own account


 


6.         
    If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, then in each case where the Transferee is
purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional
buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the “qualified institutional buyer” status of such third party has
been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.


 



7.              The
Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein.  Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Transferred Certificates will constitute
a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase.  In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or
savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties any updated annual financial statements
that become available on or before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become available.


 



8.              Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant
to which the Transferred Certificates were issued.

ANNEX
2 TO EXHIBIT D-2A


  


QUALIFIED
INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A





 


[for
Transferees that are Registered Investment Companies]


  


The
undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor] (the “Transferor”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Certificate Registrar, with respect to the mortgage pass-through certificate being transferred (the “Transferred
Certificates”) as described in the Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this certification
is an Annex:


  


1.           
  As indicated below, the undersigned is the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or
other executive officer of the entity purchasing the Transferred Certificates (the “Transferee”) or, if the
Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144A”) because the Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies (as
defined below), is an executive officer of the investment adviser (the “Adviser”).


  


2.          
   The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A because (i) the
Transferee is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (ii) as marked below,
the Transferee alone owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies
owned, at least $100,000,000 in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of [specific date since the
close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year][the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year]. For purposes
of determining the amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the
cost of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies,
as the case may be, reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current
information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were
valued at market.


 


	____	The Transferee owned and/or invested on
    a discretionary basis $___________________ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the
    end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).


  


	____	The Transferee is part of a Family of
    Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate $______________ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred
    to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with
    Rule 144A).


 





3.         
    The term “Family of Investment Companies” as used herein means two or more registered investment
companies (or series thereof) that have the same investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being
majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).


 



    	D-2A-7



    	 



    



 


4.         
    The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that
are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit
notes and certificates of deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities owned
but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vi) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the
aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, or owned by the Transferee’s
Family of Investment Companies, the securities referred to in this paragraph were excluded.


 



5.        
     The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the parties to which this certification
is being made are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee
will be in reliance on Rule 144A.


 



___                                     Will
the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred Certificates




Yes         No                        only
for the Transferee’s own account


 



6.      
       If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, then in each case where
the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified
institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the “qualified institutional buyer” status of
such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.


 






7.      
       The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is made of any changes
in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice, the Transferee’s purchase of the Transferred Certificates
will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such purchase.


 



8.           
  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement pursuant to which the Transferred Certificates were issued.

to which the Transferred Certificates belong, and (c) no Transferred Certificate may be resold or transferred unless it is

(ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration and qualification and the Certificate Registrar
has received either:  (A) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in

a distribution of the Transferred Certificates under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Transferred Certificates

Transferred Certificates pursuant thereto.  The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize
any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing


 



    	D-2B-4

Securities Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs.  The Transferee has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Transferred Certificate; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary
to make an informed investment decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic risks of such investment and can afford
a complete loss of such investment.


 



10.         Check
one of the following:



 


___       The
Transferee is a “U.S. Person” and has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or
successor form).


 


___       The
Transferee is an institution that 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 Administrator (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made
on the Transferred Certificates.  The Transferee has attached hereto either (i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN,
IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor forms), which identifies the Transferee as the beneficial owner of the Transferred Certificates
and states that the Transferee is not a U.S. Person, (ii) Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or (iii) two duly
executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify the Transferee as the beneficial owner of the Transferred
Certificates and states that interest and original issue discount on the Transferred Certificates is, or is expected to be, effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or business.  The Transferee agrees to provide to the Certificate Administrator (or its
agent) updated IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-8ECI, as the case may be, any applicable successor
IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Administrator (or its agent) may reasonably request, on or before the
date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring
a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Administrator (or its agent).


 



For
this purpose, “U.S. Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
a corporation or partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations) created or organized in or under
the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or
partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless
of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is


 




    	D-2B-5



    	 



    


 


able
to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more United States fiduciaries have the authority
to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain trusts
in existence on October 20, 1996 which are eligible to elect to be treated as U.S. Persons).


 



11.         If
the Transferred Certificates are Class V or Class R Certificates, then the Transferee (A) is not an employee benefit
plan or other retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or annuity, a Keogh plan or a collective investment
fund or separate account, the assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation
Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, an insurance company general account,
that is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially similar to the foregoing provisions
of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), and (B) is not directly or indirectly purchasing the Transferred
Certificates or any interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of
a Plan.


 


12.         If
the Transferred Certificates are Non-Investment Grade Certificates (other than Class V or Class R Certificates), then check the
following paragraph that is applicable:


 


___       The
Transferee (A) is not a Plan (as defined in paragraph 11 above), and (B) is not directly or indirectly purchasing the
Transferred Certificates or any interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets”
of a Plan.


 


___       The
Transferee has provided the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel (copies of which are
attached hereto) to the effect that the transfer of the Transferred Certificates from the Transferor to the Transferee will not
constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or
any Similar Laws or subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.


 



___       The
purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such person qualifies for the exemptive relief available under
Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions”
rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.


 



The
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized
to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry
with respect to the matters covered hereby.

	STATE OF	)

	COUNTY OF	) 









 


____________________,
being first duly sworn, deposes and says that:


 


1.          He/She
is the ____________________ of ____________________ (the prospective transferee (the “Transferee”) of Morgan
Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C23, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C23, Class R,
evidencing a ____% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”)), a ________________ duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of ____________________, on behalf of which he/she makes this affidavit. All capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the pooling and servicing agreement
pursuant to which the Residual Certificates were issued (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”).


 


2.          The
Transferee (i) is, and as of the date of transfer will be, a “Permitted Transferee” and will endeavor to remain
a “Permitted Transferee” for so long as it holds the Residual Certificates, and (ii) is acquiring the Residual
Certificates for its own account or for the account of another prospective transferee from which it has received an affidavit
in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A “Permitted Transferee” is any Person other than a “disqualified
organization” or a possession of the United States. (For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means the
United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an
instrumentality, all of the activities of which are subject to tax and a majority of whose board of directors is not selected
by any such governmental unit) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such
foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’
cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income.


 


3.          The
Transferee (i) is, and as of the date of transfer will be, a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” and will endeavor
to remain a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” for so long as it holds the Residual Certificates, and (ii) is acquiring
the Residual Certificates for its own account or for the account of another prospective transferee from which it has received
an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A “Qualified Institutional Buyer” is a qualified institutional
buyer qualifying pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


 


4.          The
Transferee is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Residual Certificates to “disqualified
organizations” under the Code that applies to all transfers of the Residual Certificates; (ii) that such tax would
be on the transferor or, if such


 






    	E-1-1



    	 



    

 


transfer
is through an agent (which Person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that
the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such Person
an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge
that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Residual Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest”
within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c) and that the transferor of a “noneconomic residual interest”
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
transfer is to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax.


 


5.          The
Transferee is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Residual Certificates if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
(For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)


 


6.          The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferee
unless the Transferee’s transferee, or such transferee’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 Transferee 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.


 


7.          The
Transferee 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 Residual Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.


 


8.          The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is _________________.


 


9.          The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 3.3(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which
provisions is set forth in the Residual Certificates (in particular, clause (F) of the first paragraph of Section 3.3(e)
which authorizes the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to deliver payments on the Residual Certificate to a Person other
than the Transferee and clause (G) of the first paragraph of Section 3.3(e) which authorizes the Certificate Registrar
to negotiate a mandatory sale of the Residual Certificates, in either case, in the event that the Transferee holds such Residual
Certificates in violation of Section 3.3(e)); and the Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such
provisions.


 


10.          No
purpose of the Transferee relating to its purchase or any sale of the Residual Certificates is or will be to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax.


 


11.          The
Transferee hereby represents to and for the benefit of the transferor that the Transferee intends to pay any taxes associated
with holding the Residual Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of
any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates.


 






    	E-1-2



    	 



    

 


12.          The
Transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment
or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed Transferee or any other United States
Tax Person.


 


13.          The
Transferee will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Certificate Registrar
a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in which it
will represent and warrant, among other things, that it is not transferring the Residual Certificates to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax and that it has at the time of such transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition
of the proposed transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and has satisfied the requirements
of such provision.


 


14.          The
Transferee is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, a partnership or other entity created or organized in,
or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources
without the United States is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection
with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.


 


15.          [Select
a or b, as applicable] [a] The Transferee has computed any consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate in accordance
with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(7) and 1.860E-1(c)(8) by computing present values using a discount rate equal
to the Federal short-term rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period
used by the Transferee.


 


[b]
The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and 1.860E-1(c)(6) and,
accordingly,


 


(i)            the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6), 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 Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the Transferee’s fiscal
year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related
to the Transferee within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii) and excluding any other asset if a principal
purpose for holding or acquiring that asset is to permit the Transferee to satisfy this Section 15(ii)) in excess
of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;


 


(iii)          the
Transferee will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)(i), (ii)
and (iii) and this Section 15 and the transfer is not to a foreign permanent establishment (within the meaning of
an applicable income tax treaty) of such eligible corporation or any other arrangement by which the Class R Certificate will be
at any time subject to net tax by a foreign country or possession of the United States; and


 






    	E-1-3



    	 



    

 


(iv)          the
Transferee 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 Transferee) that it has determined in good faith, is a reasonable amount.


 


16.          The
Transferee (i) is, and at the time of transfer will be, a United States Tax Person other than a partnership (including any
entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant
to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is
not a United States Tax Person, and (ii) is not, and at the time of the transfer will not be, a foreign permanent establishment
or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person. If the Transferee is a
partnership, trust or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then each person that may be allocated income from
the Class R Certificate is, and at the time of transfer will be, a United States Tax Person.


 


17.          The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and will continue to do so in the future.


 






    	E-1-4

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 June 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), and executed
in connection with the above-referenced transaction. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants
to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:


 


1.          No
purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will
be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.


 


2.          The
Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor has no knowledge or reason to know that any representation contained therein is
false.


 


3.          The
Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee
as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined
that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that
the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer
of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be
liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Transferor does not know and has no reason to know that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, is not a United States Tax
Person or a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any interest in which
is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S.
corporation) by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, is a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within
the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person, or is a Person with respect to which income
on the Residual Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable
income tax treaty.


 


5.          The
Transferor does not know and has no reason to know that the Transferee will not honor the restrictions on subsequent transfers
by the Transferee under the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement, delivered in connection with this transfer.

(1) Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut-Off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document.



(2) Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date.




(3) Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases the most current DSCR provided by the Master Servicer is used. To the  extent that no DSCR is provided by the Master Servicer, information from the offering document is used. The DSCRs reported by the Master Servicer may be based on a period of less than 12 months. Regardless, DSCRs are normalized based on the Most Recent Financial as of Start and End Dates as reported on the NOI Detail page of this statement. The Certificate Administrator makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided by the borrower for this calculation.

Qualifications
related to the work product undertaken and opinions related to this report:


 


		1.	The
                                         Trust Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer’s
                                         and Controlling Class Representative’s discussion(s) regarding any Specially Serviced
                                         Mortgage Loan.



 


		2.	The
                                         Special Servicer has the legal authority and responsibility to service the Specially
                                         Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trust Advisor
                                         has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein.



 


		3.	Confidentiality
                                         and other contractual restrictions limit the Trust Advisor’s ability to outline
                                         herein the details or substance of 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 Trust Advisor is given access to by the
                                         Special Servicer. However, all such information is considered in preparing this report.



 


		4.	There
                                         are many tasks that the Special Servicer undertakes on an ongoing basis related to Specially
                                         Serviced Mortgage Loans. These include, but are not limited to, assumptions, ownership
                                         changes, collateral substitutions, capital reserve changes, etc. The Trust Advisor does
                                         not participate in discussions regarding such actions. As such, the Trust Advisor has
                                         not assessed the Special Servicer’s operational compliance with respect to those
                                         types of actions.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:


  


This
letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________
(the “Transferee”) of the Excess Servicing Fee Right established under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of June 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) and executed in connection with the above-referenced
transaction.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as the Depositor
and the Master Servicer, that:


  


1.           The
Transferee is acquiring the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees (the “Excess Servicing Fee Right”) for its
own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or transfer in connection with any distribution thereof, in whole
or in part, in any manner which would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or any applicable state securities laws.


  


2.           The
Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act
or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator
or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing
Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified
pursuant to any applicable state





 



    	S-2-1



    	 



    




 


securities
laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration and qualification and (A) the Depositor
has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit S-1 to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of the Master Servicer and the Depositor have received a certificate from the prospective
transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit S-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


  


3.           The
Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any interest therein except
in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which provisions it has carefully reviewed.


  


4.           Neither
the Transferee nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred the Excess
Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security to any person in any manner,
(b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest
in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated
with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security with
any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the
Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken
any other action with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar
security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of
the Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right a violation
of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Excess Servicing
Fee Right pursuant thereto.  The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act,
in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing
Fee Right or any other similar security.





 


5.           The
Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Excess Servicing Fee Right and any payments
thereon, (c) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and
servicing of the Mortgage Loans, and (e) all related matters that it has requested.


  


6.           The
Transferee is (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b)
an “accredited investor” as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs.  The Transferee has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Excess
Servicing Fee Right; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic risks of such investment and can afford a complete
loss of such investment.


 



    	S-2-2



    	 



    




 


7.           The
Transferee agrees (i) to keep all information relating to the Trust, the Trust Fund and the parties to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, and made available to it, confidential, (ii) not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result
in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate
pursuant to the Securities Act, and (iii) not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees,
agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person
other than such holder’s auditors, legal counsel and regulators, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law,
court order or other legal requirement or to the extent such information is of public knowledge at the time of disclosure by such
holder or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such holder; provided, however,
that such holder may provide all or any part of such information to any other Person who is contemplating an acquisition of the
Excess Servicing Fee Right if, and only if, such Person (x) confirms in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in
writing to keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation
of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificates pursuant
to the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents
or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other
than such Persons’ auditors, legal counsel and regulators.


  


8.           The
Transferee acknowledges that the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement except as set forth in Section 8.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the Excess Servicing Fee Rate may
be reduced to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
