in effect at any given time.


 


(b)       Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the appointment of
the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and the appointment of the Special Servicer
by the Directing Holder and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the

required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Servicing Agreement (subject
at all times to the rights of the Holders as set forth herein and in such Servicing Agreement).


 


(c)       If,
at any time the Lead Note is no longer in a Securitization, the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant
to a servicing agreement that is substantially similar to the Servicing Agreement (and, if any Non-Lead Note is in a Securitization,
a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agencies that were engaged by the Depositor to rate such Securitization shall be obtained)
and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent Servicing Agreement; provided,
that until a replacement Servicing Agreement has been entered into (and such Rating Agency Confirmation


 






    -13-


     


    

 


has been obtained), the
Lead Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement as if such
agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that until a replacement
Servicing Agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any Qualified Servicer appointed
by the Lead Note Holder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement that
was previously in effect.


 


(d)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein (including Sections 4 and 13(a)), the Servicing Agreement shall provide
that the Servicer shall be required to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard as set
forth in the Servicing Agreement, and any Holder who is not a Borrower or a Borrower Party Affiliate shall be deemed a third-party
beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. It is understood that any Non-Lead Note Holder may separately appoint
a servicer for its Non-Lead Note, by itself or together with other assets, but any such servicer will have no responsibility hereunder
and shall be compensated solely by the applicable Non-Lead Note Holder from funds payable to it hereunder or otherwise.


 


(e)       The
Holders acknowledge that the Servicer is to comply with this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents
in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loan.


 


(f)        If
any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning
of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall
be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf
of the Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage
or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata
share of each Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8)
of the Code, and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent
from any action of the Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights that the Holders may have under the
Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within
the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months
after the startup day of the REMIC that includes any Note (or any portion thereof). Each Holder agrees that the provisions of this
paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of
the Mortgage Loan.


 


(g)       In
the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, the other Holders shall not be required to reimburse such Holder or any
other Person for payment of any taxes imposed on such REMIC or Advances therefor or for any interest on such Advance or for deficits
in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, nor shall any disbursement
or payment otherwise distributable to the other Holders be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.


 






    -14-


     


    

 


3.         Priority
of Notes. The Notes shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any
portion of any other Note or security therefor. Except for the Excluded Amounts, all amounts tendered by the Borrower or
otherwise available for payment on the Mortgage Loan, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, a balloon payment,
Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other instrument serving as security on the Mortgage
Loan, proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation
proceedings or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be distributed by the Master Servicer and applied to the
Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.


 


Penalty Charges paid
in respect of the Mortgage Loan shall be used (i) first, to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer
for interest accrued on any Property Advances, (ii) second, to pay the parties to any Securitization for interest accrued
on any P&I Advance, (iii) third, to pay other expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (iv) fourth,
to pay, pro rata, to the Lead Note (to be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation
as provided in the Servicing Agreement) and each Non-Lead Note (to be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as
additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement).


 


4.         Workout.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement
and Section 13 of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead
Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms
thereof such that (i) the Mortgage Loan Principal Balance is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Interest Rate is reduced, (iii)
payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of
the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan
Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of the Notes, as described in Section 3.


 


5.         Accounts;
Payment Procedure. The Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the
Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer, in accordance with
the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into
the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement all payments received with
respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account for deposit or credit on the applicable
Master Servicer Remittance Date related to the applicable Note all payments received with respect to and allocable to each
Note; provided that delinquent payments received by the Master Servicer after the related Master Servicer Remittance
Date shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such accounts within the time period specified in the Servicing
Agreement.


 


If any Servicer holding
or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of any Note determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction
orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of such Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy,
fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Borrower or


 






    -15-


     


    

 


paid to the Lead Note Holder, any Servicer or
paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Servicer shall be required to distribute
any portion thereof to the related Holder, and such Holder shall promptly on demand repay to such Servicer the portion thereof
which shall have been theretofore distributed to such Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer
shall have been required to pay to the Borrower, any Holder, any Servicer or such other person or entity with respect thereto.
Each Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan
in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall
have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments
due to such Holder under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the obligations of each Holder under this Section 5 are
separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall any Servicer enforce the obligations of any Holder against
any other Holder. The obligations of each Holder under this Section 5 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing
obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of these provisions.


 


6.         Limitation
on Liability. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, no Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer on its behalf) shall have any liability to any other Holder with respect to any Note, except (1) with respect to the
Advance reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 17 and (2) with respect to losses actually suffered due to the
gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement on the part of such Holder (including the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf, except that the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability
may be further limited or expanded as set forth in the Servicing Agreement).


 


7.         Representations
of the Holders. (a) Each of the Holders hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with each other Holder that, as
of the date hereof:


 


(i)        It
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State under which it is organized.


 


(ii)       The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, and performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement by
such Holder, will not violate its organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of
time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which
it is a party or that is applicable to it or any of its assets, in each case which materially and adversely affect its ability
to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(iii)       Such
Holder has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.


 


(iv)      This
Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforcement


 






    -16-


     


    

 


may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and
contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law.


 


(v)       It
has the right to enter into this Agreement without the consent of any third party.


 


(vi)      It
is the holder of the respective Note for its own account in the ordinary course of its business.


 


(vii)     It
has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation
in connection with the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


(viii)    It
is a Qualified Transferee.


 


8.         Independent
Analyses of each Holder. Each Holder acknowledges that, except for the representations made in Section 7, it has,
independently and without reliance upon any other Holders and based on such documents and information as such Holder has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase its respective Note. Each Holder hereby
acknowledges that the other Holders shall have no responsibility for (i) the collectability of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or
any survey furnished or to be furnished in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity,
sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial
condition of the Borrower. Each Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with its respective Note for reasons other than
gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by any other Holder or negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith by any Servicer, subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement (pursuant to which the liability of the Servicers may
be further limited or expanded as set forth therein).


 


9.         No
Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant
hereto, shall be deemed to constitute between any Holder (or the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee on its behalf)
and any other Holder a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. Each Holder (or the Master Servicer, Special
Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to the other Holders the opportunity to
purchase notes or interests relating to any future loans originated by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and if any
Holder chooses to offer to any of the other Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or interests in any future mortgage
loans originated by such Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such
Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. None of the Holders shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase
from any other Holder any notes or interests in any future loans originated by any other Holder or any of its Affiliates.


 






    -17-


     


    

 


10.       Not
a Security. None of the Notes shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


11.       Other
Business Activities of the Holders. Each Holder acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend
credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower Party Affiliate, and receive payments on such
other loans or extensions of credit to any Borrower Party Affiliate and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without
accountability, but only if none of the foregoing violate the Mortgage Loan Documents, in the same manner as if this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.


 


12.       Transfer
of Notes. (a) Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note, whether or
not the related transferee is a Qualified Transferee, without a Rating Agency Confirmation or the consent of any other
Holder. Each Holder agrees it shall not Transfer more than 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note,
unless the transferee is a Qualified Transferee or (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Holders have
consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee (and its Affiliates) shall thereafter be deemed to be a
“Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a
Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall
thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, or (iii) such
Transfer is in connection with a sale by a Securitization Trust; provided that if such Transfer is a Transfer of the
Lead Note, such Transfer must be to a Qualified Transferee. With respect to any Transfers pursuant to (i) or (ii) above
(except with respect to a Transfer to a Securitization Trust) such transferee must (x) assume in writing the obligations of
the transferring Holder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the
Servicing Agreement and (y) remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other
Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Holder’s prior consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and, if any such non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency
Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the related Depositor to rate the securities issued in
connection with such Securitization, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower or a Borrower
Party Affiliate and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
transferee.


 


(b)       Except
for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization, or a Transfer made by a Holder to an Affiliate, at least five (5) days
prior to a transfer of any Note, the transferring Holder shall provide to the other Holders and, if any Certificates are outstanding,
to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 12, which certification
shall include (1) the name and contact information of the transferee and (2) if applicable, a certification by the transferee that
it is a Qualified Transferee.


 


(c)       The
Holders acknowledge and agree that, to the extent Rating Agency Confirmation is specifically required, any Rating Agency Confirmation
may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating


 






    -18-


     


    

 


Agencies may charge
the transferring Holder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.


 


(d)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder may pledge or transfer (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity
(other than a Borrower or any Borrower Party Affiliate) that has extended a credit facility to such Holder or has entered into
a repurchase agreement with such Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose
long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note
Pledgee”), or to a Person with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained, on terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 12(d), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to any Holder or any
Affiliate that controls such Holder that is secured by such Holder’s interest in its respective Note and is structured as
a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder if all applicable terms and conditions of this Section
12 are complied with. A Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to a Note without a Rating Agency
Confirmation. Upon written notice, if any, by the pledging Holder to the other Holders and the Servicer that a Pledge has been
effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the other Holders agree to acknowledge receipt of such
notice and thereafter agree: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Holder in respect of its
obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously
with the giving of such notice to the pledging Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure
a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to the other Holders hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not
be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement (if the pledging Holder had the right to consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the
terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to
respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination within 10 days after request therefor;
(iv) that the other Holders shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the pledging Holder which such pledging
Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Holder; (v) that the other Holders or Servicer
shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such
certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other Holders; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection
Notice”) to the Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods
with respect to the pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other
agreements relating to the Pledge between the pledging Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed
by the pledging Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee (or at
any time that pledging Holder otherwise directs that such payment be made to Note Pledgee pursuant to a separate notice) shall
be entitled to receive any payments that any Servicer would otherwise be obligated to make to the pledging Holder from time to
time pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases
the other Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Holder on account of any Holder’s or Servicer’s
compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or other Holders in good faith


 






    -19-


     


    

 


to have been delivered by a Note
Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Holder (and accept an assignment
in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law, the pledge agreement, repurchase agreement or
similar agreement between the pledging Holder and the Note Pledgee and this Agreement. In such event, or if the pledging holder
otherwise assigns its interests to the Note Pledgee, the other Holders and the Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and
any transferee (other than a Borrower or any Borrower Party Affiliate) that is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or
similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and such Person’s successor and assigns,
as the successor to the pledging Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee
or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer
(i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 12(d) shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer)
unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified such Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest
in the pledged Note has terminated.


 


13.       Exercise
of Remedies by the Servicer. (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and subject to the
rights and consents, where required, of the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority with
respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, the sole and exclusive authority to (i) modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii)
consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) vote all claims
with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to
enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or
rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or
accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action, and the Holders shall have no
voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights
and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan other than as provided in the Servicing Agreement. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority to make Property Advances
with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Holder agrees that it shall have no
right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has
to (A) call or cause the Servicer to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (B) exercise any remedies with
respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Note Holder or such
Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents
as any Servicer shall reasonably require to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of
the first sentence in this Section 13(a).


 


(b)       The
Master Servicer and the related Trustee shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Non-Lead Note Holders in connection with the administration
of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Master Servicer and the related Trustee from their


 






    -20-


     


    

 


respective obligation
under the Servicing Agreement to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).


 


(c)            The
Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Servicing Agreement shall provide that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in the next sentence, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, if the Special Servicer determines to
sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (or the Lead Note), it will be required to sell the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan as a single
whole loan (i.e., both the Lead Note and Non-Lead Notes). Any such sale of the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan is subject to the
satisfaction of the following:


 


(i)             Each
Non-Lead Note Holder has provided written consent to such sale; or


 


(ii)            The
Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to each Non-Lead Note Holder:


 


(1)       at
least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan;


 


(2)       at
least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received
by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale;


 


(3)       at
least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in
the Servicing File requested by a Non-Lead Note Holder; and


 


(4)       until
the sale is completed and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Holder)
prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents
that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.


 


Any Non-Lead Note Holder
may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth above only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Holders shall
be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is a Borrower or a Borrower Party
Affiliate).


 


The Non-Lead Note Holders
hereby appoint the Lead Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled
with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead
Notes. Each Non-Lead Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Note Holder, such Non-Lead Note Holder shall
execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Note Holder
may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following such
request, and shall deliver the related original Non-

Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Note Holder
in connection with the consummation of any such sale.


 


(d)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Servicer on behalf of the Holders of its rights under this Section
13 shall be subject in all respects to any section of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event
shall the Servicer be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action if taking or failing to take such action,
as the case may be, would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents or be inconsistent
with the Servicing Standard or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or violate the REMIC provisions of the Code
or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(f) of this Agreement.


 


14.       Rights
of the Directing Holder. (a) The Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the
Directing Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Holder,” “Controlling Class
Certificateholder,” “Controlling Class Representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the
Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the
Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (2) the Special Servicer with
respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and,
except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any Major Action unless it has obtained the
prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master
Servicer’s taking any Major Action nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any Major Action as to
which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable
Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the
Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment with
respect to such Major Action. The Directing Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking,
such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable, subject to the terms of the
Servicing Agreement.


 


(b)       If
the Directing Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Action within ten
(10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Directing Holder by the applicable
Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Action together with any information requested by the Directing Holder as may be
necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten
(10) Business Day (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) period, such Major Action shall be deemed to have
been approved by the Directing Holder.


 


(c)       In
the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Servicing
Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any
other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole)
and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact


 






    -22-


     


    

 


the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.


 


(d)       No
objection, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Servicing Agreement, this
Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance
with the Servicing Standard or expose the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to liability, or materially expand the scope
of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement.


 


(e)       The
Directing Holder shall have no liability to the other Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from
the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith
or gross negligence. The Holders agree that the Directing Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from
giving consents, that favor the interests of one Holder over the other Holder, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships
and interests that conflict with the interests of another Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence
on the part of the Directing Holder agree to take no action against the Directing Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees,
principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Directing Holder will not be deemed to
have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly
disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having
failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Holder.


 


15.       Appointment
of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Directing Holder shall have the right at any
time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage
Loan and appoint a Qualified Servicer as the replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. The Directing Holder shall
designate a Person to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to the other Holders (including, to the extent a Note is
included in a Securitization, the parties to the related PSA) a written notice stating such designation and by satisfying the
other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if
required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), if any.


 


16.       Rights
of the Non-Directing Holders. (a) The Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Servicer shall be required:


 


(i)        to
provide copies of the same notices, information and reports that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to
the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Actions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset
Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan to the Non-Directing Holders (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder
actually has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), within the


 






    -23-


     


    

 


same time
frame as specified with respect to the Directing Holder (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has
lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), provided, that if a Non-Directing
Note has been included in a Securitization, then for any information for which the Special Servicer would be required to provide
to such Non-Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall provide such notice to the master servicer of the other Securitization,
who shall forward such notice as and when required under the terms of the related Securitization documents; and


 


(ii)       to
consult with each Non-Directing Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, if, having received such notices, information and reports,
such Non-Directing Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Action or the implementation of any recommended
actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such
Non-Directing Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to each
Non-Directing Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required
to be provided to the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with the Non-Directing Holders, whether
or not the Non-Directing Holders have responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless the Servicer proposes a new course
of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall
be begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto).


 


(b)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holders, the Servicer may take any Major Action or any action
set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Servicer determines
that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders.


 


(c)       In
addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, the Non-Directing Holders shall have the right to participate in annual
conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.


 


(d)       In
no event shall the Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any of the Non-Directing
Holders.


 


(e)       Any
Non-Directing Holder that is a Borrower or a Borrower Party Affiliate shall not be entitled to any of the rights set forth in this
Section 16.


 


17.       Advances;
Reimbursement of Advances. (a) From time to time, (i) pursuant to terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
and/or the related Trustee may be obligated to make (1) Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged
Property and (2) P&I Advances with respect to the Lead Note and (ii) pursuant to the terms of a Non-Lead Servicing
Agreement, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the


 






    -24-


     


    

 


related Trustee may be obligated to make P&I Advances with
respect to a Non-Lead Note. The Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance
with respect to any Non-Lead Note, and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required
to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Lead Note, any other Non-Lead Note or any Property Advance. The Master
Servicer, each Non-Lead Master Servicer and any Trustee will be entitled to interest on any Advance made in the manner and
from the sources provided in the related PSA.


 


(b)       The
Master Servicer and the related Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Advance, first
from the Collection Account established with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and then, if such Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable
Advance, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization
as provided in the Servicing Agreement.


 


(c)       To
the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Master
Servicer for any Property Advance and/or interest thereon and the Master Servicer or the related Trustee, as applicable, obtains
funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Property Advance or interest thereon, each Non-Lead
Note Holder (including any Securitization into which any Non-Lead Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice
from the Master Servicer, pay to the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Property Advance and/or interest
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate. In addition, each Non-Lead Note Holder (including any Securitization into which any Non-Lead
Note is deposited) shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Trustee for such Non-Lead Note Holder’s pro
rata share of any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan
as to which the Lead Securitization or any of the parties thereto are entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Servicing
Agreement (to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan are insufficient for reimbursement
of such amounts).


 


(d)       The
parties to each PSA shall each be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance based
on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with such PSA.


 


(e)       If
the Master Servicer or the related Trustee elects to defer the reimbursement of a Property Advance in accordance with the terms
of the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or the related Trustee shall also defer its reimbursement of each Non-Lead Note
share from the Non-Lead Note Holders.


 


18.       Provisions
Relating to Securitization.


 


(a) New Notes. For so
long as a Note is not included in a Securitization, the Holder of such Note (the “Resizing Holder”) shall have
the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes (“Amended
Notes”) or additional notes (“New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Note or Notes that it
owns (but in no case any Note that it does not then own) among Amended Notes and New Notes or severing a Note into one or more
further “component” notes in the aggregate


 






    -25-


     


    

 


principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the
Note or Notes being amended or created, provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Amended Notes and New Notes
following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of the Amended Notes and New Notes prior to such amendments,
(ii) all New Notes continue to have the same interest rate as the Amended Note of which it was a part prior to such amendments,
(iii) all New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis with the Amended Notes and such reallocated or component
notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement and (iv) the Resizing Holder holding the New Notes shall notify
each other Holder, as applicable, and, if any other Note has been included in a securitization, the parties under each applicable
PSA, in writing (which may be by email) of such modified allocations and principal amounts. In connection with the foregoing, (1)
the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to execute amendments to the Loan Agreement and this Agreement (or to amend and restate
the Loan Agreement and this Agreement) on behalf of any or all of the Holders solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation
of principal or such severing of a Note, (2) if a Note is severed into “component” notes, such component notes shall
each have their same rights as the respective original Note, (3) the definition of the term “Securitization” and all
of the related defined terms may be amended (and new terms added, as necessary) to reflect the New Notes and (4) if the Lead Note
is severed into “component” notes, another Note (or one of the New Notes) may be substituted for Note A-1-A in the
definition of “Lead Note” and the definitions of “Lead Note” and “Lead Securitization” and
Non-Directing Holder” will be revised accordingly. Neither Rating Agency Confirmation nor approval of the Directing Holder
shall be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this Section 18(a). The Resizing
Holder whose Note is being reallocated or split pursuant to this Section 18(a) shall reimburse the other Holders for all
costs and expenses incurred by the other Holders in connection with the reallocation or split.


 


(b)       Each
Non-Lead Note Holder agrees that (if a Non-Lead Note is included in a Securitization other than the Lead Securitization) it shall
cause the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement to provide as follows:


 


(i)        the
applicable master servicer or Trustee for such Securitization shall be required to notify the master servicer, special servicer
and Trustee of each other Securitization of the amount of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to the Note included in
such Securitization within two Business Days of making such advance;


 


(ii)       if
the applicable master servicer, special servicer or Trustee determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, or any outstanding
P&I Advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a nonrecoverable advance, the master servicer shall provide the
other servicers written notice of such determination within 2 Business Days after such determination was made;


 


(iii)      in
the event such Non-Lead Note Holder is responsible for its proportionate share of any Nonrecoverable Advances (or any other portion
of a Nonrecoverable Advance) (and advance interest thereon) or other fee or expense pursuant to Section 17 and funds received
with respect to such Non-Lead Note are insufficient to cover such amounts, (x) the related master servicer will be required
to pay the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, out of general


 






    -26-


     


    

 


funds in the collection account
(or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement and (y) if the Lead Servicing Agreement permits
the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement to pay itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s
general account then the master servicer under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement will be required to reimburse the Lead
Securitization Trust for such amounts out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under
the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;


 


(iv)      each
of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust
is required to indemnify each such party) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA that relate solely to its servicing
of the Mortgage Loan, as applicable, and the master servicer under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement will be required to
reimburse the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, out of general funds
in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;


 


(v)       each
of Trustee and the master servicer under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall acknowledge that, (i) each of
the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement will be a third party beneficiary under the Non-Lead Servicing
Agreement with respect to any provisions therein relating to (1) the reimbursement of any nonrecoverable advances made with respect
to such Non-Lead Note by the Master Servicer or the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement and (2) as to the Master Servicer only,
the indemnification of the Master Servicer against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA and relating to such Non-Lead
Note and (ii) the Special Servicer will be a third party beneficiary under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement with respect

indemnification of the Special Servicer against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA and relating to such Non-Lead
Note; and


 


(vi)      the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.


 


(c)       Notice
to Parties to the Lead Securitization PSA. Each Non-Lead Note Holder shall provide the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer,
and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization PSA (as of the closing date of the related Securitization) (provided
such party is not also a party to the Lead Securitization PSA) notice of the related Securitization in writing (which may be by
email) prior to or promptly following the closing date of the related Securitization. Such notice shall contain contact information
for each of the parties to the related PSA and the identity of the Controlling Class Representative under such PSA. In addition,
after the closing date of the related Securitization for any other Notes, the related Holder shall send a

Securitization) (provided such party is not also a party to the Lead Securitization PSA).


 


(d)       The
Servicing Agreement shall:


 


(i)        provide
that the Master Servicer and Trustee for such Securitization shall be required to notify the servicer, special servicer and Trustee
of each other Securitization of the amount of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to the Note included in such Securitization

other servicer and servicing function participant (within the meaning of Items 1123 and 1122, respectively, of Regulation AB) retained

is not otherwise terminated pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be required, upon the direction of such
