This Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is dated and effective as of November 1, 2016, between Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc., as Depositor,
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender
Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer.


 


PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:


 


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


 


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


 


LOWER-TIER REMIC


 


The Lower-Tier REMIC
will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) and will issue the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LASB,
Class LA3, Class LA4, Class LA5, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF
and Class LG Uncertificated Interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will evidence the “regular
interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR
Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
and is represented by the Class R Certificates.


 






     


     

    

 


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


 


	
        Class
Designation
	 	
        Pass-Through

	Class LA3	 	(1)	 	$	17,811,000	 
	Class LA4	 	(1)	 	$	210,000,000	 
	Class LA5	 	(1)	 	$	292,019,000	 
	Class LAS	 	(1)	 	$	65,531,000

	Class LD	 	(1)	 	$	52,425,000	 
	Class LE	 	(1)	 	$	25,021,000	 
	Class LF	 	(1)	 	$	10,723,000	 
	Class LG	 	(1)	 	$	42,894,169	 
	Class LR	 	N/A(2)	 	 	N/A(2)     	 


 





 






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



 


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



 


UPPER-TIER REMIC


 


The Upper-Tier REMIC
will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class B, Class
C, Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates, each of which is a “regular interest” in
the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Upper-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class UR Interest, which is

by the Class R Certificates.

the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination.
Any such determination by the Special Servicer will be conclusive and binding upon the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this
statement will not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master Server or the Trustee
or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination, that a P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable

If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance

in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a principal and interest advance

Loan. Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee,

as it relates to any proposed P&I

Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced
PSA provides otherwise). In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable,
will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in
their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent
with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in
the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with
respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity
as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in
the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely
in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any
Nonrecoverable Advances at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer,
in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential
source of recovery for any delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a
Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being
deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery,
in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the P&I Advance under
consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations
at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent
with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee
(solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market
value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s,
the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive
and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case
may be, that a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance has been made or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
P&I Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered
by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing
Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan
other than an Excluded Loan) (and in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor
(but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and


 






    -74-


     


    

 


the Certificate Administrator (and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan,
any Other Servicer). The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall
be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections
and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination
and shall include any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property). The Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is
or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination
that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability
determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.


 


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


 









    -75-


     


    

 


delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability
determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance)
and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case
of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals
or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s,
Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive
and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case
may be, that a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance has been made or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute
a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s
Certificate delivered by either of the Special Servicer or Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to
any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan) (and in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the
Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu
Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, that the Special Servicer may, at its option make a determination in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance
and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, to the related Other Master
Servicer (and the Other Special Servicer if specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement), and with respect to a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer if specified in the related
Intercreditor Agreement), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider
notice of such determination. Any such determination by the Special Servicer will be conclusive and binding upon the Master Servicer
and the Trustee (but this statement will not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the Master
Server or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make
an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the
Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with
the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all,
of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee
shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed
Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of

(w) payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date; (x) prepayments
of principal collected on or before the Cut-off Date; (y) with respect to those Mortgage Loans that were closed in November
2016 but have their first Due Date in December 2016, any interest amounts relating to the period prior to the Cut-off Date; and
(z) any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans) (collectively, the “Conveyed
Assets”). The transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is absolute and,
notwithstanding Section 13.07, is intended by the parties to constitute a sale. In connection with the assignment to the
Trustee of the Depositor’s rights under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that are permitted to be assigned to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 14 thereof it is intended that the Trustee get the benefit of Sections 1, 2, 4.1 (other than clause 4.1.7
and clause 4.1.14), 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 thereof in connection with any exercise of rights under the assigned sections,
and the Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available to the Trustee the benefits of such sections in connection therewith.


 


(b)       In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall direct,
and hereby represents and warrants that it has directed, the Mortgage Loan Sellers pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to deliver and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (A) on or before the Closing
Date, the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii)
of the definition of “Mortgage File” (provided, that if any such document (other than a document specified in clause
(i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) is not available on the Closing Date, it shall be delivered to the Custodian
in accordance with clause (B) below) and (B) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date (or such later date
as may be provided under Sections 2.01(b) or (c) hereof with respect to any item), the remainder of the Mortgage
File for each Mortgage Loan and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date
(which delivery shall be subject to the penultimate paragraph of the definition of “Mortgage File”), any other items
required to be delivered or deposited by the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.01(c)
of this Agreement (other than amounts from reserve accounts (which shall be delivered in accordance with Section 2.01(f)
of this Agreement) and originals of letters of credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan,
and to take such other actions and pay such costs with respect to the Mortgage Loans as may be contemplated to be taken or paid
by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) hereof. If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller
cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii),
(iii), (v), (vi) and/or (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File” with evidence of
filing or recording thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public filing or recording office where such document or instrument
has been delivered, or will be delivered within the forty-five (45) day period following the Closing Date, for filing or recordation,
the delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and


 



    -129-


     


    

 


this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to
have been satisfied on a provisional basis as of the Closing Date as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered
document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a duplicate original or a photocopy of such
non-delivered document or instrument (certified by the applicable public filing or recording office, the applicable title insurance
company or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted or to be submitted
for filing or recording) is delivered to the Custodian within such forty-five (45) day period, and such delivery requirements shall
be deemed satisfied in full if either the original of such non-delivered document or instrument, or a photocopy thereof (certified
by the appropriate county recorder’s office or the applicable title insurance company, in the case of the documents and/or
instruments referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, to be a true and complete
copy of the original thereof submitted for recording), with evidence of filing or recording thereon, is delivered to the Custodian
within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Closing Date (or within such longer period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) after
the Closing Date as the Custodian shall consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld as long as the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee and the Custodian no less often than every ninety (90) days following
such one hundred eighty (180) day period after the Closing Date, attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public
filing office or county recorder’s office such original or photocopy). If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required
to, but cannot, deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to
in clauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi) and/or (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage
File,” with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), for any other reason, including,
without limitation, that such non-delivered document or instrument has been lost or destroyed, the delivery requirements of the
applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such non-delivered
document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File,
if a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (with evidence of filing or recording thereon and certified in the
case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”
by the appropriate county recorder’s office or the applicable title insurance company to be a true and complete copy of the
original thereof submitted for recording) is delivered to the Custodian on or before the date set forth herein. Neither the Trustee
nor any Custodian shall in any way be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the delivery
requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b). If, on the Closing Date as to any
Mortgage Loan, subject to the next sentence, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to, but cannot, deliver (in complete
and recordable form or form suitable for filing or recording, if applicable) any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee
referred to in clause (iv) or clause (vi) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because
of the unavailability of filing or recording information as to any existing document or instrument, such Mortgage Loan Seller may
provisionally satisfy the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b)
with respect to such assignment by delivering with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date an omnibus assignment of such
Mortgage Loan substantially in the form of Exhibit H; provided that all required original assignments with respect
to such Mortgage Loan (in fully complete and recordable form or form suitable for filing


 



    -130-


     


    

 


or recording, if applicable) are delivered
to the Custodian within one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed eighteen
(18) months, which the Custodian shall consent to so long as the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to
the Trustee and the Custodian no less often than every ninety (90) days following such 180–day period after the Closing Date,
attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public filing office or county recorder’s office the applicable filing
or recording information as to the related document or instrument); and provided, further, that in the case of a
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the delivery of any such assignments shall be subject to the penultimate paragraph of the definition
of “Mortgage File” herein. As to any Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent is responsible for
recording or filing, as applicable, any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) or
clause (vi) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, and such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy
the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) with respect to such
assignment by delivering to the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date a copy of such assignment in the
form sent for recording or filing or (except for recording or filing information not yet available) to be sent for recording or
filing; provided that an original or copy of such assignment (with evidence of recording or filing, as applicable, indicated
thereon) shall be delivered to the Custodian as contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, with respect to the delivery of a letter of credit in the manner described in clause (A) of clause (xii)
of the definition of “Mortgage File”, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery
requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering to the Custodian within
ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date with respect to any such letter(s) of credit a copy of such letter of credit,
the transfer documentation and such transmittal communication to the issuing bank indicating that such document has been delivered
to the issuing bank for reissuance. If a letter of credit is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such
letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents,
the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver copies of the appropriate transfer or assignment documents to the Custodian promptly
following receipt of written notification thereof. If not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor, the applicable Mortgage Loan
Seller shall pay any transfer fee required in order to transfer the beneficiary’s interest from such Mortgage Loan Seller
to Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust as required hereunder and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master
Servicer in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is reissued
to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust. Regardless of the manner of delivery, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall indemnify
the Trust for any liabilities, charges, costs, fees or other expenses accruing from the failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to
assign all rights in and to the letter of credit hereunder including the right and power to draw on the letter of credit.


 


(c)       Except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense,
cause each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of each UCC Financing Statement
(collectively, the “Assignments” and each, individually, an “Assignment”) relating to the
Mortgage Loans conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to be prepared in proper form for filing or
recording, as applicable, and promptly (and in any event


 



    -131-


     


    

 


within one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date
and Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) submit such Assignments
for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit
H hereto to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b). Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect
that it (or a certified copy thereof) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following
recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same
to the Custodian or its designee). Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage
File and be deemed a part thereof, and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required
to be delivered to the Custodian to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If
any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction
in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be,
because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller
or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter
the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause
the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not
received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage
Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related
Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian,
the Custodian, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable
jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears
in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording
or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly
inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation
of a new Assignment. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause (and pay the expenses for) the preparation of, and execute, replacement
Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office
by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted. Notwithstanding the 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 each Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been transferred from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller
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.


 


(d)       All documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to
the Mortgage Loans (including, in each case, financial


 



    -132-


     


    

 


statements, operating statements and any other information provided by the
respective Mortgagor from time to time, but excluding the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s internal communications (including
such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared
by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney-client communications
that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence
analyses or data) that (i) are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof and
(ii) are reasonably necessary for the servicing of each such Mortgage Loan, together with copies of all documents in each
related Mortgage File (to the extent not already delivered or made available to the Master Servicer) shall be delivered by the
Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date and
shall be held by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and as holder
of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holder. Such documents and records
shall be any documents and records (with the exception of any items excluded under the immediately preceding sentence) that would
otherwise be a part of the Servicing File and shall include, with respect to any Whole Loan, a copy of the Mortgage Note evidencing
each related Companion Loan.


 


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


 


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


 


(g)       With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties listed on Schedule 4 hereto, which are each
subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the respective Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice
to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders or otherwise have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under
the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the related Mortgage
Loan Seller or its designee shall provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor
(with a copy of such notice or request to the Master Servicer) within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date (or any shorter
period if required by the applicable comfort letter), and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the
Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement
as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).


 



    -133-


     


    

 


(h)       Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall provide that, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Diligence File for each of its Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by uploading such
Diligence File to the IntraLinks Site. Promptly upon completion of such delivery of the Diligence Files (but in no event later
than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Depositor (with a copy via
e-mail to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Directing
Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor) an officer’s certificate signed by an authorized
officer of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that the electronic copies of the documents uploaded to the IntraLinks
Site constitute all documents required under the definition of “Diligence File” and such Diligence Files are organized
and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and Mortgage Loan Seller
(the “Diligence File Certification”).


 


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


 


(b)       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 (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan within seventy-five (75) days after
the Due Date in the month of substitution), the Custodian, shall examine the Mortgage Files in its possession and shall deliver
to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (so long as no Consultation Termination
Event shall have occurred and be continuing and only with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan), the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller

set forth as Exhibit Q-1 and Exhibit Q-2 hereto), that, except as specifically identified in any exception report
annexed to such writing (the applicable “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) with respect to the Initial Certification,

Mortgage Loan accurately reflects the information contained in the documents in the Mortgage File, and (D) each Mortgage Note has
been endorsed as provided in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan listed on a Custodial Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan together with the nature
of such exception (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items
required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller but
are out for filing or recording and have not been returned by the filing office or the recorder’s office).


 


(c)       The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q-2, certify in writing to each
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder
and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related

and Section 2.01 hereof, all documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi),

a Material Defect in any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (vi) and (ix) in
the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect


 



    -135-


     


    

 


results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents
from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related
Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing
Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and, with respect to any other Mortgage
Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related
Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the Master Servicer
an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account), equal to
25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver
to the Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable,
shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer
that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master
Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied
to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in
the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences,
if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it
has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such Material Defect exists is
required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan,
defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity
or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation,
the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with,
and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 5 of the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement; provided, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a
period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting
to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth
what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution,
upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter
of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary,
draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price
(or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution
Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b). All such funds
deposited in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related
Mortgage Loan Seller. Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together
with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the


 



    -136-


     


    

 


related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income
tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.


 


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


 


(f)        If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any time thereafter, the Custodian finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File (1) not to have been properly executed, (2) subject to the timing requirements
of Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c), not to have been delivered, (3) to contain information that does not conform
in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or (4) to be defective
on its face (each, a “Defect” in the related Mortgage File), the Custodian shall promptly so notify the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller (and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and every calendar quarter thereafter
until all Defects are corrected) by providing a Custodial Exception Report setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with
particularity, the nature of such Defect (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and such Mortgage Loan Seller and separating
items

required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by such Mortgage Loan Seller but
are out for recording or filing and have not been returned by the recorder’s office or filing office).


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


In the event that the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
or the Custodian receives a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of
such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the Special Servicer,
if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This
is a


 



    -138-


     


    

 


‘15Ga-1 Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Morgan
Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31 requiring
action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request
by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient
in respect of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g)
with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide
any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.


 


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


 


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


 


(h)       The parties hereto acknowledge the obligation of each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 2 of the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, at its expense, to the
Custodian five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 4 thereto in favor of the Custodian
(on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the
failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer, to sign and/or submit, or to cause the
Custodian to sign and/or submit for recording, at the expense of Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as
described in Section 2.01 of this Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required
to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian
on its behalf)). Each Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer
in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such
recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under
authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence
with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following
the delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the
Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage


 



    -139-


     


    

 


Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The Custodian or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, after
the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not submit such assignments
for recording if the related Mortgage Loan Seller produces evidence that it or a third-party on its behalf has sent any such assignment
for recording and certifies that such Mortgage Loan Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.


 


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


 


(i)        The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of North
Carolina, and the Depositor has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated
hereby, including, but not limited to, the power and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
this Agreement;


 


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


 


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


 


(iv)      There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened against the Depositor
in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the


 



    -140-


     


    

 


validity
of the Mortgage Loans or the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and


 


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


 


(b)       After receipt of a Repurchase Request, the Special Servicer shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller
cure the Material Defect on or before the end of the Initial Cure Period or, if applicable, the Extended Cure Period or repurchase
the Mortgage Loan within such period in the event the Material Defect cannot be cured or is not cured. The Mortgage Loan Seller
is obligated under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) in the case of a Material Defect other than a Material Defect
relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code,
but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated
as a qualified mortgage (a “Qualified Mortgage Material Defect”), not later than ninety (90) days after the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of notice of or, if earlier, such Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such
Material Defect or receipt of notice of such Material Defect from any party to this Agreement or (ii) in the case of a Qualified
Mortgage Material Defect, not later than eighty-five (85) days after the earlier of (x) the discovery by the related Mortgage Loan
Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of such Material Defect from any party
to this Agreement (such ninety (90) or eighty-five (85) day period, as applicable, the “Initial Cure Period”),
(A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement
of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase
the affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage
Loan or successor REO Loan (provided that (x) such affected Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan was not itself a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan and (y) in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second (2nd) anniversary
of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in
connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided,
that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee
or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition
of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, and except with respect to a Qualified
Mortgage Material Defect, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and
the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the
Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon
the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”)
to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan or substitute a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage
Loan Seller is required to deliver a copy of an officer’s certificate to the


 



    -141-


     


    

 


Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who
shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence
of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable
of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with
the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within
the Extended Cure Period; provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure
Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the
recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution
obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Initial
Cure Period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and
that the Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). If
the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage
Loan Seller, together with the portion of the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fees attributable to the Asset Review
with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall be remitted by such Mortgage Loan Seller by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for
deposit into the Collection Account. In the event the Special Servicer is required to enforce the Repurchase Request related to
a Non-Specially Serviced Loan under this Section 2.03(b), within five (5) days of request by the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall deliver a copy of the Servicing File with respect to any such Non-Specially Serviced Loan.


 


If a Mortgage Loan Seller,
in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, agrees to a cash payment
pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the
Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder
if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”)
with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Special
Servicer for deposit into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement.
In connection with any Loss of Value Payment with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly
provide the Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frames and in the manner provided in Section 3.19 (as if
such Mortgage Loan were subject to a Servicing Transfer Event), with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records
relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession
or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer, and reasonably required by the Special Servicer to permit the Special
Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment, to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were
subject to a Servicing Transfer Event). The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to
the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable
to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If such Loss


 



    -142-


     


    

 


of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the
sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trust regarding the related Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of
the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based
on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between
the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any
such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute
for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage
Loan; and (iii) a Qualified Mortgage Material Defect may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.


 


If any Breach that constitutes
a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage
Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under
such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as
the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable
amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the
Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the
amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 12.02(b) to the extent not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller to
the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. Upon such remittance, the related Mortgage
Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject
of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment
made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned
to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Periodic Payments due with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan after the related
Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the corresponding replaced Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted
Mortgage Loan”) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution (but after the related Cut-off date),
shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan on or prior to the
Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan after the related
Due Date in the month of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated
by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated
by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not
be a Material Defect.


 



    -143-


     


    

 


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


 


Upon any substitution
of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan related to the repurchase or substitution of the affected Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan will become part of the Trust Fund and be subject
to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in all respects.


 


The repurchase or substitution
of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will be on a whole-loan, servicing released basis.


 


(c)       Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03,
and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following Defects shall be deemed to constitute
a “Material Defect” to the extent the absence of the related document results from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s
failure to deliver such document: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the
Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on
its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage (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 either a copy of the
Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating
that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for
by clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter
of credit; or (e) the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground
Lease, if the Mortgage Loan is secured solely by the related Ground Lease. No Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
previously described in subclauses (b) through (e) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially
and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders
unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with
respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original
or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the
custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a
binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition
of Mortgage File herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered
a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such


 



    -144-


     


    

 


actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen
(18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied
with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that
the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or
a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact
that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant
to Section 5(a) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be
liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01 hereof. This Section 2.03(c) shall have no impact
on any determination as to whether a Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan constitutes a Material Defect.


 


(d)       In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated
by this Section 2.03, upon (i) deposit of the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the
case may be) for such Mortgage Loan in the account designated therefor by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
as the assignee of Depositor (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee), (ii) if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the
assignee of Depositor (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to be substituted for
a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to be delivered
by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and (iii) delivery by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to each of the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a receipt executed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller
evidencing such repurchase or substitution, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to (x) a release of the Mortgage
File and any other items previously required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and
(c) for the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, (y) the execution and
delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the
related Mortgage Loan Seller and are reasonably necessary to vest in the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee the legal
and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds
of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents, any portion of the related Servicing File
and any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and any other items previously required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller
under Sections 2.01(b) and (c), held by or on behalf of the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, with respect to the repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan
Seller, and (z) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Mortgagor of such transfer of such repurchased or replaced
Mortgage Loan.


 


(e)       Section 5 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders
(subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Material Defect.


 



    -145-


     


    




 


(f)        The Special Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests), enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in such form, to
such extent and at such time as the Special Servicer would require were it, in its individual capacity, the owner of the affected
Mortgage Loan(s). Any costs incurred by the Special Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall, to the extent not recovered from the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller, be deemed to be Servicing Advances to the extent not otherwise provided for herein. The Special Servicer
shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses
or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein
out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the
conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second
are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(viii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit
in the Collection Account. Any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees related to a repurchase of a Companion Loan shall be paid
pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or pursuant to the documents related to an Other Securitization, if applicable.


 


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


 


(h)       If (i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this
Section 2.03 and (ii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed
Underlying Loan in the


 



    -146-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 



    -147-


     


    

 


in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.


 


(k)       (i)  In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to this Agreement
that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect
to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”),
such party shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
promptly forward the Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement.
Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Special Servicer (the “Enforcing Servicer”) shall be the Enforcing Party
with respect to a Certificateholder Repurchase Request.


 


(ii)       In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) or the Directing Certificateholder identifies a Material Defect
with respect to a Mortgage Loan (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery), that
party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to this Agreement and the related Mortgage
Loan Seller identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase
Request” and each of a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase
Request”). The Enforcing Servicer shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related
Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request. However, if a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the
Repurchase Request, the provisions described in Section 2.03(l)(i) below shall apply.


 


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


 


(l)        (i)  After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether
the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or by a party to this Agreement), the Enforcing
Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder,
if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate
Administrator (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com) who shall make such
notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Proposed
Course of Action”). Such notice shall include


 



    -148-


     


    

 


(a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate to the Enforcing Servicer
their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action and (b) a statement that in the event any Requesting Certificateholder
disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (if it is the Enforcing Party) will be compelled to follow
the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of Requesting Certificateholders as provided below. If (a) the
Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action
to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder,
if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including
nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further
action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting
Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method
selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”)
within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the
“Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either
mediation or arbitration. In the event any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election
Notice, and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the
Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such responses will be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution
Election Notices supporting the Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority
of Certificateholders.


 


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


 


(iii)      Promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice
from (a) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of
clauses (a) and (b), a “Requesting Certificateholder”), the Enforcing Servicer shall consult
with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation
(including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the
“Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing
Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur
and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off


 



    -149-


     


    

 


Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall
be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be appropriate relating to the timing and extent
of such consultations. No later than five (5) Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting
Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the
matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).


 


(iv)      If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution
Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then the Enforcing Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and will remain
obligated under this Agreement to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the rights of the Trust
with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer
the matter to mediation or arbitration.


 


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


 


(vi)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) shall
not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with
respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it


 



    -150-


     


    

 


is in the best interest of Certificateholders
to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.


 


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


 


(viii)    For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller nor any of their respective affiliates shall
be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



    -151-


     


    

  


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(iv)      After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than 10 Business Days after its appointment,
the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with
the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to
schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing
and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.


 


(v)       Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each
party to the arbitration will be


 



    -152-


     


    

 


presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall
reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon which they intend to rely and all documents
they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party
witness depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided that the arbitrator
shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines
good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.


 


(vi)      The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission
of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent
with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration
conducted by them. Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date of the Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice
at the Prime Rate. In its final determination, the arbitrator shall determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including
the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and shall award reasonable
attorneys’ fees to the parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination
of the arbitrator shall be by a reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties.
The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination
permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(vii)     By selecting arbitration, the Enforcing Party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by
jury.


 


(viii)    No person may bring a putative or certificated class action to arbitration.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



    -153-


     


    




 


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


 


(iv)      In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the
case may be, shall contain an acknowledgment that the Enforcing Servicer on behalf of the Trust shall be a party to any arbitration
or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided
that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding shall be determined
by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (provided that a Consultation Termination
Event has not occurred and is continuing) and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing
Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement
with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated
any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation,
neither the Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated
to the Requesting Certificateholder.


 


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


 


(vi)      The Trust (or the Trustee or the Enforcing Party, acting on its behalf), the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller shall
be permitted to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any
mediation or arbitration. Each party to the proceedings shall be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to
the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such procedures; provided, (A) the Certificateholders
shall be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the


 



    -154-


     


    

 


extent provided in Section 5.06,
(B) to the extent that the Enforcing Servicer is required under Section 2.02 to provide any 15Ga-1 Notice in connection with such
Repurchase Request, the Enforcing Servicer shall be permitted to include in such 15Ga-1 Notice the information required pursuant
to Section 2.02(g) and (C) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to disclose information related to the
Repurchase Request to the extent necessary to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 or Item 1104 of Regulation AB.


 


(vii)     For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase
Request to mediation or arbitration or participation in such mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Enforcing
Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Mortgage Loan (including without limitation, a liquidation, foreclosure,
negotiation of a loan modification or workout, acceptance of a discounted pay off or deed in lieu, or bankruptcy or other litigation)
or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Certificateholder.


 


(viii)    In the event that the method of dispute resolution selected is unsuccessful, the Requesting Certificateholder may not elect
to then utilize the alternative method.


 


(ix)       Any expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in mediation or arbitration or related responsibilities
pursuant to this Agreement shall be reimbursable as additional trust fund expenses.

Execution of Certificates; Issuance of Lower-Tier Regular Interests. The Trustee hereby acknowledges the assignment
to it of the Mortgage Loans and, subject to Section 2.01 and Section 2.02, the delivery to the Custodian of the Mortgage
Files and a fully executed original counterpart of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, together with the assignment
to it of all of the other assets included in the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Grantor Trust. Concurrently with such assignment and

receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Trustee (i) acknowledges the issuance of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and
the Class LR Interest to the Depositor; (ii)  the Trustee acknowledges the contribution by the Depositor of the Lower-Tier
Regular Interests to the Upper-Tier REMIC; and (iii) immediately thereafter, in exchange for the Lower-Tier Regular Interests,
the Trustee acknowledges that it has caused the Certificate Administrator to issue the Class UR Interest and has caused the
Certificate Registrar to execute and caused the Authenticating Agent to authenticate and to deliver to or upon the order of the
Depositor, the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates, and the Depositor hereby acknowledges the receipt by it
or its designees of such Certificates in authorized Denominations evidencing the entire beneficial ownership of the Upper-Tier

Section 3.01     The Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer; Special Servicer to Act as Special Servicer; Administration of the Mortgage
Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans, and REO Properties. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall diligently
service and administer the Serviced Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related REO Properties it is obligated
to service in accordance with applicable law, this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan documents and any related Intercreditor Agreement
on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the case of the Serviced
Companion Loans, the Companion Holders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), as a collective whole,
taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of such Companion Loans (as determined by the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment), in accordance with applicable law, the terms of this Agreement
(and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan or any Mortgage Loan with related mezzanine debt, the related Intercreditor Agreement)
and the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate
or pari passu nature of the Companion Loan. With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, in the event of a conflict between
this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall control; provided that
in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, take any action or omit to take any action in
accordance with the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement that would cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, to violate the Servicing Standard or the REMIC Provisions. To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Serviced Companion
Loans in accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) in the same manner in which, and with the same
care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers
similar mortgage loans for other third party portfolios and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans owned by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with a view to the (A) the timely recovery of all payments of principal
and interest under the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Whole Loans or (B) in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property,
maximization of recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced
Companion Loans, and the best interests of the Trust and the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders
constituted a single lender) (and in the case of any Whole Loan, the best interests of the Trust, the Certificateholders and any
related Companion Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the holder or holders of the related Companion
Loan constituted a single lender), taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of the related Companion Loan),
as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment, in either case giving
due consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional commercial, multifamily and manufactured
housing community mortgage loan servicers, but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from: (i) any relationship
that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any


 



    -156-


     


    

 


Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have with any
Mortgagor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any other parties to this Agreement, any Sponsor, any originator of a Mortgage Loan or any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate, Companion Loan, mezzanine loan, or subordinate debt
relating to a Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable; (iii) the obligation, if any, of the Master Servicer to make Advances; (iv) the right of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates to receive compensation for its services

for others of (a) a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Non-Serviced Companion Loan or (b) any other mortgage loans, subordinate
debt, mezzanine loans or properties not covered by this Agreement or held by the Trust by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates; (vi) any debt that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, or any of its Affiliates, has extended to any Mortgagor or an Affiliate of any Mortgagor (including, without limitation,
any mezzanine financing); (vii) any option to purchase any Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates, may have; and (viii) any obligation of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, or any of their respective Affiliates, to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan as a Mortgage Loan
Seller (if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates is a Mortgage Loan Seller) (the foregoing,
collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).


 


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


 


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

Each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion
Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section
3.19(a). Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19 and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer any Non-Specially Serviced Loan or any related Serviced Companion
Loan. The Special Servicer shall make the property inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the financial statements,
budgets, operating statements and rent rolls and forward to the Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged
Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan if efforts by the Master Servicer to collect
required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact shall be coordinated
through and with the cooperation of the Master Servicer. No provision herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied
guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans
or any related Serviced Companion Loan or be construed to impair or adversely affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement
to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (including with respect to Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees or the right to
be reimbursed for Advances and interest accrued thereon). Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master Servicer
or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise
to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion
Loans. No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason
that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery
is less than the amount reflected in such determination.


 


(b)       Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08)
and of the respective Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable,
and applicable law, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject
to Section 3.20, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (with respect to (x) Special Servicer Decisions and Major
Decisions and (y) the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties), in its own name (or in the name of the Trustee and, if applicable,
the related Serviced Companion Noteholder), is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) and the Trustee
or any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan it is obligated to service under this
Agreement: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain
the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property
and related collateral, and shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such financing statements, continuation statements
and other documents or instruments as necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document
in the related Mortgage File on the


 



    -158-


     


    

 


related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Sections 3.08,
3.18 and 6.08, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to, under or with respect to any documents
contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, pledge agreements and
other documents in connection with a defeasance, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments;
and (iv) any or all complaints or other pleadings to initiate and/or to terminate any action, suit or proceeding on behalf
of the Trust (in their representative capacities (except as set forth below in this paragraph). The Master Servicer (with respect
to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall provide to the Mortgagor
related to such Mortgage Loans that it is servicing any reports required to be provided to them pursuant to the related Mortgage
Loan documents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall (i) on the Closing Date, furnish to the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached
hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any
powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 or Exhibit R-2 attached hereto, as applicable
(or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any
acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney
by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. 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. 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. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not, without
the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without
indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited
by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited,
in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or
such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to
obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative
capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered
to do business in any state.


 



    -159-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(f)        Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents)
after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the Master Servicer
shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on Annex A-1
to the Prospectus, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service
the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases
shall be paid by the related Mortgagor.


 



    -160-


     


    

 


With respect to letters
of credit delivered in accordance with subclause (B) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, (a) within
sixty (60) days of the Closing Date or such shorter period as is required by the terms of such letter of credit or other applicable
Mortgage Loan documents, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify the bank issuing the letter of credit that the Master Servicer
on behalf of the Trustee shall be the beneficiary under such letter of credit, and (b) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date,
the Master Servicer shall present such letter of credit and the related assignment documentation delivered by the Mortgage Loan
Seller in accordance with such subclause of the definition of “Mortgage File” to the letter of credit bank issuing
such letter of credit and request that such letter of credit bank reissue the letter of credit in the name of “Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit
of registered holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2016-C31”.  The Master Servicer shall otherwise use reasonable efforts to obtain such reissued letter of credit
back from the issuing letter of credit bank within sixty (60) days (and in any event within ninety (90) days) following the Closing
Date.  The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide such reasonable cooperation as requested by the Master Servicer, including
without limitation by delivering such additional assignment or amendment documents required by the issuing bank in order to reissue
a letter of credit as provided above.


 


If a letter of credit
is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date that the letter of credit has been revised as contemplated in the preceding
sentence, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in
connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor
to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications
to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised
reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage
Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and
expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications
to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability
for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 


The Master Servicer acknowledges
that any letter of credit held by it shall be held in its capacity as agent of the Trust, and if the Master Servicer sells its
rights to service the applicable Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall assign the applicable letter of credit to the Trust or
(with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) at the direction of the Special Servicer to such party as the Special Servicer may
instruct, in each case at the expense of the Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trust for any loss
caused by the ineffectiveness of such assignment.


 



    -161-


     


    

 


Neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under
the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(j)          
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under
the related Intercreditor Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not
with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until
such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being acknowledged
that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party);
provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect
to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities,
fees and expenses incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while
the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect
to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the


 






    -162-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(m)          
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s
and the Special Servicer’s obligations and


 






    -163-


     


    

 


responsibilities
hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan are
limited by, and subject to, the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan
becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
obtain the benefits of the rights of the Trust (as holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan) under the related
Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions
of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall control.


 


(n)          
In connection with the securitization of a Servicing Shift Control Note, while it is a Serviced Companion Loan, upon the
request of (and at the expense of) a related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its designee), each of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer (if such Serviced Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan) and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable
efforts to cooperate with such Serviced Companion Noteholder in attempting to cause the related Mortgagor to provide information
relating to such Whole Loan and the related notes, and that such holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for
inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to the applicable Other Securitization.


 


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


 


Section 3.02       
Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures
as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard); provided that with respect
to each Mortgage Loan that has an Anticipated Repayment Date, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision
of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with
respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until
the Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any
portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal
in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in
its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that it
is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any
Mortgage Loan or


 






    -164-


     


    

 


Serviced
Companion Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any
Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan one additional time in such 24-month
period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional expense of the Trust has been incurred
and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Any additional waivers during such
24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, has, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed
waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing
Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of
giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided,
further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing
Certificateholder; provided, further, that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no consent rights with respect
to any Excluded Loan with respect to the foregoing waivers.


 


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


 


first,
as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to such Mortgage Loan
and unpaid interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid expenses of the Trust;


 


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


 


third,
to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause first or clause second, as a recovery
of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the excess
of (i) accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from


 






    -165-


     


    

 


time to time through
the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to
clause fifth below on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause
(i) of this clause third that either (a) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related
P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (b) accrued
at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral
Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;


 


fourth,
to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause first or clause second, as a recovery
of principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of such Mortgage Loan following a default
thereunder;


 


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


 


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


 


seventh,
as a recovery of any other reserves to the extent then required to be held in escrow with respect to such Mortgage Loan;


 


eighth,

tenth,
as a recovery of any assumption fees, assumption application fees and Modification Fees then due and owing under such Mortgage
Loan;


 


eleventh,
as a recovery of any other amounts then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan other than remaining unpaid principal and other

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

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


 


thirteenth,
in the case of an ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest;


 


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


 


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


 


first,
as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related Mortgage
Loan and interest at the Reimbursement Rate on all Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid expenses of the Trust with
respect to such Mortgage Loan;


 


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


 


third,
to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause first or clause second, as a recovery
of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the excess
of (i) accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate in effect from


 






    -167-


     


    

 


time to time through
the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to
clause fifth below or clause fifth of Section 3.02(b)(i) above on earlier dates, the aggregate
portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this clause third that either (a) was not
advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred
in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (b) accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to
which no P&I Advance was made;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


eighth,
as a recovery of any assumption fees, assumption application fees and Modification Fees then due and owing under such Mortgage
Loan;


 


ninth,
as a recovery of any other amounts then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan other than, if applicable, accrued and unpaid Excess
Interest (if both consent fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees are due and owing, first, allocated to consent fees
and then, allocated to Operating Advisor Consulting Fees); and


 


tenth,
in the case of an ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest;


 


provided that if a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan and any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan comprising a Non-Serviced Whole Loan becomes an REO Loan, the treatment
of the foregoing amounts with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced
Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA, in that order; provided,


 






    -168-


     


    

 


further, that with respect to each Serviced
Pari Passu Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, amounts collected with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan shall
be allocated first pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and then, any amounts allocated to the related
Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan shall be subject to application as described above.


 


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


 


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


 


(d)          
In the event that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer receives Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any
Collection Period, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be receiving
Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case
may be, shall notify the Trustee and Certificate Administrator two (2) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date. None
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure
of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements shall not, however, be
construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).


 


(e)           
With respect to any Mortgage Loan in connection with which the Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter
of credit related to obtaining certain performance objectives described in the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer
shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, hold such escrows, letters of credit and proceeds thereof as additional
collateral and, prior to an event of default under the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, may not apply such items to reduce the
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, unless otherwise required to do so pursuant to the applicable
Mortgage Loan documents, applicable law or court order.


 


(f)           
(i) Promptly following the Closing Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, (ii) promptly following the Certificate
Administrator’s receipt of notice of the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization Date (which notice shall contain
the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s address), in the case of each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, and (iii) promptly following
the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of notice of the Coconut Point


 






    -169-


     


    

 


Companion
Loan Securitization Date (which notice shall contain the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s address), the Certificate
Administrator shall send written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced Master
Servicer (with a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating that,
as of such date, the Trust is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master Servicer
to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be,
to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered
or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement
and the related Non-Serviced PSA. The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds,
deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced
Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property.


 


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

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


 


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


 






    -171-


     


    

 


any
Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, that only two (2) Business
Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on
an emergency or urgent basis; provided, further, that, other than for Servicing Advances to be made on an emergency
or urgent basis, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month
(although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such
Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing
Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided
that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Servicing
Advance. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master
Servicer request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s
possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall
be obligated, out of the Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances
(other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof), together with interest
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and
any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant
to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer.
Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer
of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this
Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Servicing
Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Servicing Advance, together with interest
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise
have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer out
of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines
in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing
of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall instead be reimbursed to the Special Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.


 


Any request by the Special
Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such
requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the
first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master
Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer


 






    -172-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 






    -173-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.04       
The Collection Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Companion
Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account.
(a)  The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be


 






    -174-


     


    

 


established
and maintained, a Collection Account in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis and
in no event later than the second Business Day following receipt of available and properly identified funds (in the case of payments
by Mortgagors or other collections on the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans), except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect
of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans due and payable on or before the Cut-off Date, which payments
shall be delivered promptly to the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller or its respective designee and other than any amounts received
from Mortgagors which are received in connection with the purchase of defeasance collateral), or payments (other than Principal
Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:


 


(i)           
all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans or principal prepayments on
Serviced Companion Loans;


 


(ii)         
all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans, including Excess Interest, Prepayment
Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges and Default Interest;


 


(iii)         
late payment charges and other Penalty Charges to the extent required to offset interest on Advances and additional expenses
of the Trust (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees) as required by Section 3.11(d);


 


(iv)        
all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than Gain-on-Sale Proceeds or Non-Serviced Gain-on-Sale
Proceeds) received in respect of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property (other than (A) Liquidation Proceeds
that are received in connection with the purchase by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of
the Controlling Class, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates of all the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties in the
Trust Fund and that are to be deposited in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01 and (B) any
proceeds that are received in connection with the purchase, if any, of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan from a securitization
by the related mortgage loan seller, which shall be paid directly to the servicer of such securitization) together with any recovery
of Unliquidated Advances in respect of the related Mortgage Loans;


 


(v)          
any amounts required to be transferred from the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c);


 


(vi)         
any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred
with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Collection Account; and


 






    -175-


     


    

 


(vii)       
any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in
connection with losses resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket hazard or master single interest policy.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing
requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Collection Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized
to withdraw immediately from such account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead
immediately pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto; provided that such amounts shall be applied in accordance
with the terms hereof and shall be reported as if deposited in such Collection Account and then withdrawn.


 


The foregoing requirements
for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands,
assumption fees, modification fees, extension fees, defeasance fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks returned for insufficient
funds or other amounts the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation
need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Assumption, extension and modification fees actually received from Mortgagors
on Specially Serviced Loans shall be promptly delivered to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.


 


Upon receipt of any of
the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special
Servicer shall remit within one (1) Business Day such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, in
accordance with this Section 3.04(a). Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property
shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account, pursuant to Section 3.14(c). With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer,
the Special Servicer shall endorse without recourse or warranty such check to the order of the Master Servicer and shall promptly

the Certificate Administrator each month on or before the P&I Advance Date therein, for deposit (x) in the Lower-Tier
REMIC Distribution Account, that portion of the Available Funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans (in each case, calculated without

the related Distribution Date and (y) in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution
Date then on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii).
For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the Certificate Administrator, all funds held
in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are no ARD Loans included in the Trust Fund and, accordingly, no Excess Interest is payable
to the Trust, and any obligation to establish an Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be disregarded.


 


If there are any ARD
Loans in the Trust Fund, then the Certificate Administrator shall, on any Distribution Date, make withdrawals from the Excess Interest
Distribution Account to the extent required to make the distributions of Excess Interest required by Section 4.01(j) of
this Agreement.


 


With respect to each
Companion Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Companion Loan), the Companion Paying Agent shall establish and maintain the Companion

for the benefit of the related Companion Holder and shall, within two (2) Business Days following receipt of properly identified
funds (to the extent consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement), deposit in the Companion Distribution Account any and
all amounts received by the Companion Paying Agent that are required by the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Intercreditor
Agreement to be deposited therein; provided, that the Companion Paying Agent shall separately track for each Serviced Companion
Loan all amounts deposited with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Companion Paying
Agent each month, on or before the P&I Advance Date therein, for deposit in the Companion Distribution Account, an aggregate
amount of immediately available funds, to the extent received with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent of
available funds, equal to the amount to be distributed to the related Companion Holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and the related Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding, the following provisions shall apply to remittances relating
to the Serviced Companion Loans that have been deposited into an Other Securitization: (1) on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance
Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account (or applicable portion thereof) an aggregate amount equal
to all payments and/or collections actually received on, and payable to, such Serviced Companion Loans prior to such dates; provided,
that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to transfer to the Companion Distribution Account any portion thereof that
is payable or reimbursable to or at the direction of any party to this Agreement under the other provisions of this Agreement and/or
the related Intercreditor Agreement; (2) on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, the Companion Paying Agent shall make
the payments and remittance described in Section 4.01(k), which payments and remittance shall be made, in each case, on
the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date.

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

The Master Servicer shall
pay to the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid
to it therefrom monthly upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer or a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate

use commercially reasonable efforts to remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Remittance
Date during any calendar month any Balloon Payments received during the period that begins two (2) Business Days immediately preceding

has reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to DTC based on the receipt of payments as of the Determination Date and
Balloon Payments are subsequently received by the Master Servicer and will be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Certificate
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the related Remittance Date as described in the preceding sentence for
potential inclusion as part of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the
Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause DTC to make the
revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate
Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders
solely on the basis of the actions described in the preceding sentence. For purposes of the definitions of “Available Funds”
and “Principal Distribution Amount,” any Balloon Payments that are received on or prior to the 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.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 3.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, no amounts payable or reimbursable to the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor out of general collections that do not
specifically relate to a Serviced Whole Loan may be reimbursable from amounts that would otherwise be payable to the related Companion
Loan, as applicable.


 


(b)          
The Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account for
any of the following purposes (the following not being an order of priority):

Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as contemplated by Section 13.01(a) or Section

amendment is in furtherance of the rights and interests of Certificateholders, in each case, to the extent not paid pursuant to
Section 13.01(g);


 


(v)           
to pay any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or on the assets

to pay the REMIC Administrator any amounts reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 10.01(c) with respect to the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC;

(d)          
The Certificate Administrator shall make, or be deemed to make, withdrawals from the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account
for any of the following purposes:

respect of the Class UR Interest) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 9.01, as applicable;
and


 


(ii)           
to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section

[RESERVED].


 


(f)           
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (i) if amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account and the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account are not sufficient to pay the full amount of the Servicing Fee
listed in Section 3.05(a)(ii), the Operating Advisor Fee listed in Section 3.05(a)(ii) and the Certificate Administrator/Trustee
Fee listed in Section 3.05(b)(ii) and (b)(iii), then the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee shall be paid in full
prior to the payment of any Servicing Fees payable under Section 3.05(a)(ii) and then, after payment of Servicing Fees,
the Operating Advisor Fees payable under Section 3.05(a)(ii) and in the event that amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account and the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account are not sufficient to pay the full amount of such Certificate Administrator/Trustee
Fee, the Certificate Administrator shall be paid based on the amount of such fees and (ii) if amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account are not sufficient to reimburse the full amount of Advances and interest thereon listed in Sections 3.05(a)(iii),
(a)(iv), (a)(v) and (a)(vi), then reimbursements shall be paid first to the Certificate Administrator
and to the Trustee, pro rata, second to the Special Servicer, third to the Master Servicer and then
to the Operating Advisor.


 


(g)          
If any Loss of Value Payments are deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any
related Serviced REO Property, then the Special Servicer shall, promptly upon written direction from the Master Servicer (provided
that, (1) with respect to clause (iv) below, the Special Servicer shall have provided notice to the Master Servicer
of the occurrence of such Liquidation Event and (2) with respect to clause (v) below, the Certificate Administrator
shall have provided the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of such final
Distribution Date) transfer such Loss of Value Payments (up to the remaining portion thereof) from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund
to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account for the following purposes:


 


(i)           
to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.05(a) of this
Agreement, for any Nonrecoverable Advance made by such party with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property
(together with any interest on such Advances);


 


(ii)           
to pay, in accordance with Section 3.05(a) of this Agreement, or to reimburse the Trust for the prior payment of,
any expense or Liquidation Fee relating to


 






    -190-


     


    

 


such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property that constitutes or, if not
paid out of such Loss of Value Payments, would constitute an additional expense of the Trust;


 


(iii)           
to offset any portion of Realized Losses that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as the case
may be (as calculated without regard to the application of such Loss of Value Payments), incurred with respect to such Mortgage
Loan or any related successor REO Loan;


 


(iv)           
following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property
and any related transfers from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to the items contemplated by the immediately preceding
clauses (i)-(iii) as to such Mortgage Loan, to cover the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii)
in respect of any other Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Loan; and


 


(v)            
On the final Distribution Date after all distributions have been made as set forth in clause (i) through (iv)
above, to each Mortgage Loan Seller, its pro rata share, based on the amount that it contributed, net of any amount contributed
by such Mortgage Loan Seller that was used pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) to offset any portion of Realized Losses that
are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as the case may be, additional trust fund expenses or any Nonrecoverable
Advances incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan related to such contribution.


 


(h)           
Any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clauses (g)(i)-(g)(iii) of the
prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds received by the Trust in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or any successor
REO Loan with respect thereto for which such Loss of Value Payments were received; and any Loss of Value Payments transferred to
the Collection Account pursuant to clause (g)(iv) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds received

(i)            
The Companion Paying Agent may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Companion Distribution Account to make distributions

Section 3.06       
Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the REO Account. (a)  The Master Servicer may direct
any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any other Servicing Account,
escrow account or reserve account held by the Master Servicer (for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment
Account”), the Special Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the REO Account or the Loss of Value
Reserve Fund (also for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”) to invest or if it is
such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein, only in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest
or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
next succeeding date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such


 






    -191-


     


    

 


account
pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon
and (ii) no later than the date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,
if the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to
maturity, unless payable on demand. Any funds held in an Investment Account shall be held in the name of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any other Servicing Account,
escrow account or reserve account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account,
the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, shall
maintain continuous physical possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution
Account, the Servicing Accounts, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the REO Account or any other escrow accounts or reserve accounts,
as applicable, that is either (i) a “certificated security,” as such term is defined in the UCC (such that the
Trustee shall have control pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC) or (ii) other property in which a secured party may
perfect its security interest by physical possession under the UCC or any other applicable law. In the case of any Permitted Investment
held in the form of a “security entitlement” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC), the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take or cause to be taken such action as the Trustee deems reasonably necessary
to cause the Trustee to have control over such security entitlement. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account
are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account,
the Companion Distribution Account or any other Servicing Account, escrow account or reserve account maintained by or for the
Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account
maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall:


 


(i)           
consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted
Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(b) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and


 


(ii)           
demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment
in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.


 


(b)          
Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account
or any other Servicing Account, escrow account or reserve account maintained by or for the Master Servicer to the extent of the
Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to
and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of
the Master Servicer to the extent (with respect to Servicing Accounts) not required to be paid to the related Mortgagor and shall
be subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at its direction, in accordance with Section 3.03 or


 






    -192-


     


    

 


Section
3.05(a), as the case may be. Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the REO Account, the Loss of Value
Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings,
if any, with respect to such account for each period from and including any Distribution Date to and including the immediately
succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its
withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.14(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted
Investment (as to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, would have been entitled to any Net Investment
Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and on deposit in any of the
Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the REO Account,
the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any other Servicing Account,
escrow account or reserve account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account,
the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall deposit therein, no later
than the P&I Advance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such
account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the
current Distribution Date; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit
any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the
federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository
institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment
was made (and, with respect to the Master Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is
not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer unless such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth
in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to
such insolvency).


 


(c)           
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any
Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer
may and, upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall,
take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.


 


Section 3.07       
Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  The Master Servicer
(with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use
its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan), and the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall
maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under
the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance
Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable). If
the


 






    -193-


     


    

 


Mortgagor
does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing
Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced
Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall maintain
all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest
therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can
be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination
Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, any determination that such insurance coverage is not available
or not available at commercially reasonable rates to be made with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect
to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, with
the consent of the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan)) by the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage
Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect
to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor
to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Special Servicer; provided, that if any Mortgage permits
the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master
Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such
insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing
of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the Master Servicer will be obligated
to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against
property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default
(as determined by the Special Servicer with ((i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) other
than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) and only in the event the Trustee has
an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and,
if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall be entitled to
rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at
commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the
Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO
Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor
under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless the Special Servicer determines ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder)
that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest,
in which case the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance
Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause,
with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case


 






    -194-


     


    

 


of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage
Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or
to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be
in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in
an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the
REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan (including any
related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of
any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless
such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days
prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled
without ten (10) days prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a),
be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance
with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance
Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other than REO Properties and other than
any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master
Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account) and will be charged to the related
Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies
with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section
3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance
(so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such
cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to
any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the
Master Servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental
insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan
(other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either
(x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion
for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to


 






    -195-


     


    

 


maintain
insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan)
reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged
Property contain Additional Exclusions; provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such policies contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request
the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation
as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any
insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s
compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the
insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the Special Servicer determines
in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer shall
notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance
to be maintained. The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making
such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer)
in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver such conclusions
in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage
Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included
in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included
in the Trust. During the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response
from the Directing Certificateholder, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related
to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and will not be in default of
its obligations as a result of such failure and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance
to be maintained.


 


(b)          
(i)  If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with
a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion
Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property),
as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection
equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed
to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO
Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall,
if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying
with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by
such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would
have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy


 






    -196-


     


    

 


because
of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related
Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible
limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer
of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain, earthquake insurance
on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially
reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.


 


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


 


(c)          
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force
and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an “errors and omissions” Insurance Policy
with a Qualified Insurer covering the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, officers and employees
acting on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Such amount
of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing
the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the


 






    -197-


     


    

 


requirements
of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any
material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions Insurance
Policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that
such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.


 


(d)          
At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other
than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been
made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in
accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and,
if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent such insurance is
available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and
to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the
extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee
to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall
be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced
Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount
consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master
Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.


 


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


 


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


 






    -198-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


then, for so long as
such Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master
Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and provided that the related matter does not
involve a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (in any other case), on behalf of the Trustee
as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion
Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the
Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that (i) with respect to such waiver
of rights, if such waiver is by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall obtain the prior written consent of the Special
Servicer (it being understood that, if the Master Servicer is recommending approval of such action, the Master Servicer shall promptly
provide the Special Servicer with notice of any request for such action, the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and
analysis and all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that may be reasonably requested by the Special Servicer
in order to make an informed decision with respect to such waiver) (provided that such consent will be deemed given fifteen
(15) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days after the time period provided for in any related Intercreditor Agreement) after
the Special Servicer’s receipt of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect to such waiver
and all information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer, and reasonably available to the Master Servicer, in order to
grant or withhold such consent) and prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with
respect to an Excluded Loan, the Special Servicer has obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder
(or after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and other
than with respect to an Excluded Loan, the Special Servicer has consulted with the Directing Certificateholder), which consent
will be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the Special Servicer’s
written recommendation and analysis with respect to such waiver and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder,
and reasonably available to the Special Servicer,


 






    -199-


     


    

 


with respect to such proposed waiver or proposed granting of consent and (ii) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan that (A) represents at least 5% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance
Certificates, (B) has an unpaid principal balance that exceeds $35 million or (C) is one of the then current ten (10)
largest Mortgage Loans or groups of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans based on principal balance, a Rating Agency Confirmation
is received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to each Rating Agency and any applicable
rating agency rating any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may
be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates
pursuant to Section 3.25); however, no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has
an unpaid principal balance less than $5,000,000. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded
Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with
the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and
consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.


 


In connection with any
request for Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver
a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such Review Package on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the 17g-5 information
provider under the related Other Securitization, in each case in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.


 


If any Serviced Mortgage
Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred
without the consent of the mortgagee; provided that certain conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage
Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially
Serviced Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), related Serviced Companion Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee
of record, shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect
to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan which does not allow the mortgagee discretion in approving a transfer or assumption or does
not allow for discretion in determining whether conditions to a transfer or assumption have been satisfied, the Master Servicer,
on behalf of the Trustee as mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been
satisfied.


 


Upon receiving a request
for any matter described in this Section 3.08(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision with respect
to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Special Servicer shall
process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special
Servicer Decision or Major Decision. However, regardless of whether the Master Servicer or the Special


 






    -200-


     


    

 


Servicer
is required to process any request, any Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision (with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan)
will require the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


then, for so long as
such Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) is being serviced under this Agreement, the Master
Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and provided
that related the matter does not involve a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (in any other
case), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to a Mortgage
Loan containing a “due-on-encumbrance” clause (1) to accelerate the payments thereon, or (2) to withhold
its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) to
waive its right to exercise such rights, provided, that the Master Servicer, prior to itself taking such an action, has
obtained the consent of the Special Servicer (it being understood that, if the Master Servicer is recommending approval of such
action, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with notice of any request for such action, the Master
Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that may be
reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent) (provided that such consent shall
be deemed given 15 Business Days (or 5 Business Days after the time period provided for in any related Intercreditor Agreement)
after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect to such
waiver and all information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer, and reasonably available to the Master Servicer, in order
to make an informed decision with respect to such waiver), (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination
Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, the Special Servicer has obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent)
of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation
Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, the Special Servicer has consulted with the Directing Certificateholder),
which consent shall be deemed given 10 Business Days after the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the Special Servicer’s
written recommendation and analysis with respect to such waiver and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder,
and reasonably available to the Special Servicer, with respect to such proposed waiver or proposed granting of consent, and (ii) the
Master


 






    -201-


     


    

 


Servicer or the Special Servicer has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of
any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current
ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered
satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant
to Section 3.25) if such Mortgage Loan (A) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the
Stated Principal Balance of the outstanding Mortgage Loans or (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and
proposed debt) or (C) has a debt service coverage ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed additional
lien) or (D) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (E) has a Stated Principal Balance greater
than $20,000,000; provided, that with respect to subclauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this subclause (ii), such Mortgage
Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in
connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the
Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the
Operating Advisor.


 


In connection with any
request for Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver
a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such Review Package on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the 17g-5 information
provider under the related Other Securitization, in each case in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.


 


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


 


If any Mortgage Loan
or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent
of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions are satisfied and there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction
of such conditions, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the
Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), on behalf of the Trustee
as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to all Non-Specially
Serviced Loans which do not allow the mortgagee discretion in


 






    -202-


     


    

 


determining
whether conditions are satisfied, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall make such determination
with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.


 


Upon receiving a request
for any matter described in this Section 3.08(b) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision with respect
to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan (or a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), the Master Servicer shall forward such request
to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall
process such request, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation
with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision.


 


(c)           
Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record,
to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation
of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.


 


(d)          
Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan,
as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of
any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section
3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider
(who shall post such documents on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) and,
with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant
to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.


 


(e)           
Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth
in paragraph 30 or paragraph 32 in Exhibit 2 thereto, 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 fund expense in an
amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse
the Trust within ninety (90) days of the receipt of notice of such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such additional trust
fund expense (and, if applicable, to pay the amount of any fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer related to the
Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan not previously paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller).


 


(f)           
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent
under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause without the consent of the Special Servicer and
the Special


 






    -203-


     


    

 


Servicer
may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating
to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan or relating to any Specially Serviced Loan without ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the consent of the Directing Certificateholder
(or (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect
to any Excluded Loan), but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant
to Section 6.08 hereof). The Directing Certificateholder shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice along
with the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such proposed waiver
or proposed granting of consent and any additional information the Directing Certificateholder may reasonably request from the
Special Servicer of a proposed waiver or consent under any “due on sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause
in which to grant or withhold its consent (provided that if the Special Servicer fails to receive a response to such notice
from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within such period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have
consented to such proposed waiver or consent).


 


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


 


Section 3.09       
Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a)  Upon an event of default under the Mortgage
Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide
written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer.
The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24,
subject to the Directing Certificateholders’ rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine
lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders
of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing
any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue
in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent
payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the
provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property
unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of
liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after

to the Master Servicer for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing
Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred
by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case,
such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section
3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make an offer
on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property,
as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described
in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such bids to be made
in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary
and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related
defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of making an offer at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master
Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated
appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)          
the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as
a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the
related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and such Opinion of Counsel may be premised on the designation hereby
of any such personal property as being deemed part of an “outside reserve fund” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(h)) with the owner of such personal property for federal income tax purposes to be designated at such time).


 


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


 






    -205-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(d)          
If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions
set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not
been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage
Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties
set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 4 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase


 






    -206-


     


    

 


Agreements
for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 5 of
the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized ((A) prior
to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, after the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event) and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), with the consent of the Directing
Certificateholder at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage,
provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to
the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have
notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and ((A) prior to the occurrence
of a Consultation Termination Event and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder,
in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate
Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to
the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written
consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting
Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s
posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being
deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering
such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that
the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted
under the related Mortgage Loan documents.


 


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


 


(f)           
The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting
to the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness
and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan that is abandoned or foreclosed and the
Master Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law,
such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099A or Form 1099C (or any successor form), all


 






    -207-


     


    

 


forgiveness
of indebtedness and abandonment and foreclosure to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the
Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate
Administrator.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(b)          
From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any Serviced Mortgage Loan (and any related Companion
Loan), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer.
Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be. Upon return of such Mortgage File or such document to the Custodian,
or the delivery to the Trustee and the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, stating that such Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion
Loan), was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be


 






    -208-


     


    

 


received
in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account (including amounts related
to the related Companion Loan, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited, or that such
Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian to the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be, with the original being released upon termination of the Trust.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.11       
Servicing Compensation. (a)  As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (and any successor REO Loan)
(including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under
any related Non-Serviced PSA). As to each such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue
from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage
Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for
the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or deemed to
be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan
shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, except that if such Mortgage Loan
is part of a Serviced Whole Loan and such Serviced Whole Loan


 






    -209-


     


    

 


continues
to be serviced and administered under this Agreement notwithstanding such Liquidation Event, then the applicable Servicing Fee
shall continue to accrue and be payable as if such Liquidation Event did not occur. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly,
on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable
as interest on each such REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled
to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan out of that portion
of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable
as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a).


 


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


 


The Master Servicer 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 TT-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 TT-2
attached hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Asset
Representations Reviewer or the Certificate 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 Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer 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


 






    -210-


     


    

 


and
state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right,
the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose such information in any manner that could result in a
violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such
Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale,
pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Master Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced
Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto to which the Excess Servicing Fee Right relates, shall pay, out
of the Servicing Fee paid to the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or any successor
REO Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fee to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business
Day following the payment of such Servicing Fee to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided
by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under
this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian,
the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the
Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the
Excess Servicing Fee Right.


 


The Master Servicer shall
be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional
servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts to the extent
collected from the related Mortgagor: (i) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions
or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited
by the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that with respect to such transactions, the consent and/or processing
of the Special Servicer is not required to take such action and, in the event that the Special Servicer’s consent is required
(including, without limitation, a modification, waiver, extension or amendment processed by the Special Servicer), then the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such fees, (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar fees received
on any Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor
Agreement) for which the Master Servicer is processing the underlying assumption related transaction (whether or not the consent
of the Special Servicer is required) and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such
defeasance fee will not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance to which the Special Servicer
is entitled hereunder); (iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption
application and defeasance fees) pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection
with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited
by the related Intercreditor Agreement), provided the consent of the Special Servicer is not required to take such actions
and only to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan have been paid; and (iv) 50%
of all assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees and defeasance
fees), pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 on any Non-Specially Serviced Loan (including any related


 






    -211-


     


    

 


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


 


With respect to any of
the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its
respective portion of such fee; provided, that (A) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will have the right
to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party
that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee will not have any right to share in any part of the other
party’s portion of such fee. If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless
be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer
had charged a fee and the Master Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.


 






    -212-


     


    

 


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


 


(b)          
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee
with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to
a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property). As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from
time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially
Serviced Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans
or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which
any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special
Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or
in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


(c)           
Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) 100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers,
extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans, (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items,
in each case received on any Mortgage Loans for which the Special Servicer is processing the underlying assumption-related transaction,
(iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other
actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Specially Serviced Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related
Mortgagor (other than assumption application fees), and (iv) 50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption, waiver, consent
and earnout fees pursuant to Section 3.08 or Section 3.18 received with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans
(including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement), and, in all
cases, for which the Special Servicer’s processing, consent or approval is required, shall be promptly paid to the Special
Servicer by the Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and
shall not be required to be


 






    -213-


     


    

 


deposited
in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also
be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section
3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account and the Loss
of Value Reserve Fund in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any,
with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance
Date related to such Distribution Date). In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing
compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor
request to the extent such review fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually
paid by the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of
a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected
Loan; provided, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount
equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount; provided,
further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such Workout calculated at the
Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the
related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to
the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) equal to $25,000. The Workout
Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise
be payable until an amount equal to the Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect
to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new
Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer
shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other
than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans
or any related Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout
Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns
or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning
or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring
or Workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special
Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three
consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such
three consecutive timely Periodic Payments. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout
Fees. The Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will
be payable with respect to (a) each Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other
than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and


 






    -214-


     


    

 


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


 


With respect to any of
the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its
respective portion of such fee; provided, that (A) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will have the right
to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party
that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee will not have any right to share in any part of the other
party’s portion of such fee. If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless
be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer
had charged a fee and the Master Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain reasonable review fees in connection with any borrower
request to the extent such fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents and are actually paid by or on behalf
of the related borrower.


 


(d)          
In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges,
on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan
since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master

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


 


(e)           
With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer
within one (1) Business Day following the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received,
to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the related Remittance Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML,
Word or Excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate
Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees
received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date; provided that
no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.


 


(f)           
The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration
(including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement)
from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in
respect of a Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, Workout
or

foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties
under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall
not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.


 


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


 


(h)          
If a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization
Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in
the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned
with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan during the period for which it acts as Special Servicer of such Servicing Shift
Whole Loan. With respect to each Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization
Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift
Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization Date, the related Non-Serviced
Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan
as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as Special Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer were replacing
it as the successor special servicer. Upon receipt of notice of its termination as Special Servicer with respect to a Servicing
Shift Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer in connection
with the servicing transition of the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan on and after the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization
Date.


 


Section 3.12       
Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a)  The Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense),
or shall cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Serviced Mortgage

twelve (12) months and (ii) less than $2,000,000 at least once every twenty-four (24) months, in each case, commencing in
the calendar year 2018; provided, that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous
twelve (12) months and the Master Servicer has no knowledge of a material change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical
inspection, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform, or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided,
further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan
becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan.
The cost of such inspection by the Special


 






    -217-


     


    

 


Servicer
pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not
paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then
from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan,
such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu
Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu
Companion Loan, in accordance with their respective Stated Principal Balances, in each case, prior to being payable out of general

of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection
and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy at the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report has knowledge
of and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of
the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, (iii) any
adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident
from the inspection, and that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, deems material, (iv) any visible material
waste committed on the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection

Master Servicer, respectively, to the other party, to the Directing Certificateholder ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan).
Within five (5) Business Days after request for copies of such reports by the Rating Agencies, the Special Servicer or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special
Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable, to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website for review by Privileged Persons. In respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan that is a Specially Serviced
Loan and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Master Servicer shall deliver or make available a copy
of each such report to the Directing Certificateholder and upon request to each Controlling Class Certificateholder (which request
may state that such items may be delivered until further notice).


 


(b)          
The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially
Serviced Loan, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect promptly and review from each related Mortgagor
quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and
the quarterly and annual financial statements of such Mortgagor, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to
the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and any other reports or documents required to be delivered under the terms of
the Mortgage Loans (and each Serviced Companion Loan), if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan (and each Serviced Companion Loan) documents. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be required
to request such operating statements or rent rolls more than once if the related Mortgagor is not required to deliver such statements
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. In addition, the

Special
Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of
each REO Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall deliver all
such items to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days of receipt, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer,
as applicable, shall deliver copies of all the foregoing items so collected to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the
Directing Certificateholder and the Depositor, in electronic format, in each case within sixty (60) days of its receipt thereof,
but in no event, in the case of annual statements, later than June 30 of each year commencing 2017. Upon the request of any
Privileged Person (other than the NRSROs) to receive copies of all or any portion of such items, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver electronic copies of such requested items to the Certificate Administrator to be posted

Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties that do not relate to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), as applicable,
shall prepare with respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and REO
Property:


 


(i)           
Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a quarterly operating statement, if any, commencing with the quarter ending
March 31, 2017, a CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report (but only to the extent the related Mortgagor is required
by the related Mortgage Loan documents to deliver and does deliver, or otherwise agrees to provide and does provide, such information)
for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property as of the end of that calendar quarter, provided, that any analysis or report
with respect to the first calendar quarter of each year will not be required to the extent provided in the then current applicable
CREFC® guidelines (it being understood that as of the Closing Date, the applicable CREFC® guidelines
provide that such analysis or report with respect to the first calendar quarter (in each year) is not required for a Mortgaged
Property unless such Mortgaged Property is analyzed on a trailing 12 month basis, or if the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage
Loan is on the CREFC® Servicer Watch List). The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or
Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties), as applicable, shall deliver or make available

the Special Servicer.

pursuant to Section 3.11(e) to the extent received from the Special Servicer, if any. Additionally, not later than 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the P&I Advance Date beginning December 2016, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered
in electronic format to the Certificate Administrator any applicable CREFC® Loan Liquidation Reports, CREFC®
Loan Modification Reports and CREFC® REO Liquidation Reports received from the Special Servicer. Not later than
2:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date beginning December 2016, the Master Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via electronic format the CREFC® Loan Periodic
Update File and the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template if provided for such Distribution Date. In no event shall
any report described in this subsection be required to reflect information that has not been collected by or delivered to the Master
Servicer, or any payments or collections not received by the Master Servicer, as of the close of business on the Business Day prior
to the Business Day on which the report is due.


 


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


 


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


 






    -221-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.13       
Access to Certain Information. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide
or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Mortgage
Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such
corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such
Certificateholder, and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the
Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced
Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by applicable law. At the election
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified
above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Certificateholder and the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders, as applicable) of a sum sufficient
to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the
preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours
at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.


 


The failure of the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.13 as a result of a confidentiality obligation
shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.13. In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section
3.13, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may each (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided
by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix
to any information provided by it a reasonable

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


 


Notwithstanding the limitation
set forth in the next succeeding paragraph, upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder (or with respect to any Serviced
Subordinate Companion Loan, the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification
to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans)
and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) may provide (or forward electronically) or make available at
the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals,
operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan or
Serviced AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as the case may be) obtained by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially
in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, generally to the effect
that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset
performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, as
applicable, may have under this Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein (other than as permitted in the preceding paragraph with respect to any Certificateholder or as specifically
provided for herein with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder
or beneficial owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

provided,
that with respect to a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event that is deemed to exist due solely to the
existence of an Excluded Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall only be required to provide notice of the occurrence and continuance
of such event if it has been notified of or has knowledge of the existence of such Excluded Loan.


 


The Certificate Administrator
shall post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website the items and reports identified in clauses (iii)(A) and
(B) above on each Distribution Date. In addition, if the Depositor so directs the Certificate Administrator, and on terms
acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall make certain other information and reports related
to the Mortgage Loans available through its Internet website.


 


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


 


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


 


In the case of the Directing
Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery of an
investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling
Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to access all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee may each rely on (i) an
investor certification in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class


 






    -227-


     


    

 


Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) an investor certification
in the form of Exhibit P-1D hereto from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the
effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s).
In the event the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder,
such party shall promptly notify each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D that such party has become an Excluded Controlling
Class Holder with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate
Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F listing each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such
Excluded Controlling Class Holder and directing the Certificate Administrator to restrict such Excluded Controlling Class Holder’s
access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. Upon confirmation from
the Certificate Administrator that such access has been restricted, such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall submit a new investor
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E to access the information on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website, except that such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall not be entitled to access any Excluded Information related to
any Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in
which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)) made available
on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. With respect to any Excluded Information sent for posting on the Certificate
Administrator’s Website, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall mark or label
such information as “Excluded Information” prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate
Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and, if possible at a
later time, on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans, as applicable. Nothing set
forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving,
requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such party
is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available to such party on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website because of such party’s Excluded Controlling Class Holder status, such party shall be permitted to obtain such information
from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with Section 4.02(f) of this Agreement. The provisions in this
Section 3.13(b) shall not limit the Master Servicer’s ability to make accessible certain information regarding the
Mortgage Loans at a website maintained by the Master Servicer.


 


Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator
shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Certificateholder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of
the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit
P-1D from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling
Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be
liable for any communication to the


 






    -228-


     


    

 


Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling
Class Holder or disclosure of any information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including any related Excluded Information
delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice
that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted
on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance
with Section 3.33.


 


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

on its Internet website and assumes no responsibility therefor, other than with respect to such reports, documents or other information
prepared by the Certificate Administrator. In addition, the Certificate Administrator may disclaim responsibility for any information

shall not be liable for any disclosure of information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan to the extent such information
was included in the Asset Status Report or the Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting
to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and not properly identified as relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan.

 The Master Servicer may, in accordance with such reasonable rules and procedures as it may adopt, also deliver, produce
or otherwise make available through its website or otherwise, any additional information relating to the Mortgage Loans (other
than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan, the Mortgaged Properties (other than any Non-Serviced
Mortgaged Property), or the related Mortgagors, for review by the Depositor, the Underwriters and any other Persons who deliver
an Investor Certification in accordance with this Section 3.13 and the Rating Agencies (collectively, the “Disclosure
Parties”) (in the case of deliveries to a Rating Agency, subject to the conditions set forth in the penultimate paragraph
of Section 3.13(c)), in each case, except to the extent doing so is prohibited by this Agreement (including without limitation,
any prohibitions on dissemination of any confidential information, including, without limitation, any Privileged Information),
applicable law or by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to (i) indicate the source
of such information and affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its discretion and/or (ii) require that the recipient
of such information (A) except for the Depositor and the Rating Agencies, enter into (x) an Investor Certification, (y) a
confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X or (z) a “click-through” confidentiality
agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s website, and (B) acknowledge that the
Master Servicer may contemporaneously provide such information to any other Disclosure Party. In addition, to the extent access
to such information is provided via the Master Servicer’s website, the Master Servicer may require registration and the acceptance
of a reasonable and customary disclaimer and/or an additional or alternative agreement as to the confidential nature of such information.
In connection with providing access to or copies of the information described in this Section 3.13(e) to current or prospective
Certificateholders the form of confidentiality agreement used by the Master Servicer shall be: (i) in the case of a Certificateholder,
an Investor Certification executed by the requesting Person indicating that such Person is a Holder of Certificates and will keep
such information


 






    -233-


     


    

 


confidential (except that such Certificateholder may provide such information (x) to its auditors, legal
counsel and regulators and (y) to any other Person that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest
therein (provided that such other Person confirms in writing such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and
agrees to keep such information confidential)); and (ii) in the case of a prospective purchaser of Certificates or interests
therein or an investment advisor related thereto, an Investor Certification indicating that such Person is a prospective purchaser
of a Certificate or an interest therein or an investment advisor related thereto and is requesting the information for use in evaluating
a possible investment in Certificates and will otherwise keep such information confidential with no further dissemination (except
that such Certificateholder may provide such information to its auditors, legal counsel and regulators). In the case of a licensed
or registered investment advisor acting on behalf of a current or prospective Certificateholder, the Investor Certification shall
be executed and delivered by both the investment advisor and such current or prospective Certificateholder.


 


Neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for its dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement or by others in
violation of the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible or have any
liability for the completeness or accuracy of the information delivered, produced or otherwise made available pursuant to this
Section 3.13 unless such information was produced by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.


 


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


 


(h)           The Special Servicer, subject to the limitations on delivery of Privileged Communications, shall deliver to the Operating
Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Directing Certificateholder (other than, prior
to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, any Asset Status Reports that are not Final Asset Status Reports),
or Certificateholders generally, requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement in electronic format.


 


(i)           
None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict
oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with 


 



    -234-


     


    




 


regard to (i) such
Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset
Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval
of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a
commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of
the Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Special Servicer’s,
as applicable, servicing operations in general; provided that the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage
Loans, to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor,
property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information
Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website or (z) the Rating Agency confirms that
it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates; provided,
that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered under this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly
available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement) or comprised of information collected by the applicable
Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they
have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.13(i).


 


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


 


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


 






    -235-


     


    

 


or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i)
of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension
or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted
the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel
contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).


 


(b)           The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate
and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain
one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf
of any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier
Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an
Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within two (2) Business Days
after receipt of properly identified and available funds, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation
Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance
with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master
Servicer of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change
thereof.


 


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


 






    -236-


     


    

 


Distribution Date (or with respect to an REO Loan that is a successor to a Serviced
Companion Loan, on the related Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date).


 


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


 


Section 3.15       
Management of REO Property. (a)  If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage,
consent, protect, operate and lease such REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and the related Companion Holders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its
timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property”
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder
of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in
an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and
all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case
of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all
as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be)
(as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section
3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization
that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d)
of the Code if it determines that the net-after tax benefit to Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s),
as a collective whole, could reasonably be expected to be greater than another method of operating or net leasing the Mortgaged
Property. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event
later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such properly identified and available funds) in the applicable REO Account
all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the REO Account,
to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management,
leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    -237-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(iii)          authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement
thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    -238-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer
a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income
tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary
service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO
Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a) and 3.15(b).


 


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


 


(ii)          
If any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Loan or to
the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer


 






    -239-


     


    

 


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


 


(iii)         
If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, or if the related Companion
Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously
exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Companion
Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent
with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection
of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and, if applicable, the related
Companion Holder. In the case of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion
Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder
if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan) such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests
of the Certificateholders. The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer,
the Operating Advisor and (other than in respect of any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder not less than ten (10)
days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to
the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the highest cash
offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan.


 


(iv)         
(A)  In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan which is a continuing Defaulted Loan, in the absence of any offer
at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such
price), the Special Servicer may solicit offers and, subject to subclause (B) below, accept the highest offer received
from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Loan, if the offeror
is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes
a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal,
updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine


 






    -240-


     


    

 


(9) months),
among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and
the state of the local economy. If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee or its Affiliates may
not be an offerors), the Trustee shall determine whether the offer constitutes a fair price unless such offer by an Interested
Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest offer received. Absent an
offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (x) it
is the highest offer received and (y) at least one other offer is received from an independent third party. In determining
whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely
on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conducted in accordance with this
Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided
in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the
Master Servicer.


 


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


 


(B)          The
Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (with respect to any Mortgage
Loan other than an Excluded Loan, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event
shall have occurred and be continuing) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole
Loan, the related Companion Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related
Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the


 






    -241-


     


    

 


Holders of Certificates and, in
the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as
a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender
and, with respect to a Whole Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate
Companion Loan). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer from any Person other than the Special Servicer or
an Affiliate if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment (but in all cases in accordance with the Servicing Standard),
that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a
Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as
if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender and, with respect to a
Whole Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) (for
example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the
prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a
Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell all Defaulted Loans
prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value
determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related
Appraisal.


 


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


 


(b)           (i)  (A)  The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the
case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to
the related Companion Loan). The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property (in the case of a Serviced
Whole Loan, such sale shall be a sale of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan),
if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic
interest of the Trust and the related Companion Holders. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each
Companion Holder, the Certificate Administrator and, in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and prior to the
occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, not less than ten (10) days’ prior written
notice of the Purchase Price and its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (ii) sell
any REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property
in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the Servicing
Standard, the Master

Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer,
or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds
of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant
to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.


 


(B)          In the absence of any such offer as set forth in subclause (A) above, the Special Servicer shall, subject to
subclause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to
be a fair price (1) by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person (provided
that the Trustee or its Affiliates may not be offerors), or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest bidder is an Interested Person
unless such offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the
highest offer received; provided, that absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested
Person shall constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) at least two other offers are
received from independent third parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual
capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.


 


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


 


(D)          In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee
shall obtain and may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters
retained by the Trustee in connection with making such determination. The reasonable cost of such Independent appraiser or other
Independent expert shall be an expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser. The reasonable fees and costs of all appraisals,
inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party


 






    -243-


     


    

 


shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable,
from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect
payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of
demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special
Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested
Person. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property, the Special Servicer or the Trustee (or,
if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed
to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy
and the Trust’s obligation to comply with REMIC Provisions.


 


(ii)          
Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders
in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including
the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation
or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating
Advisor or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties
of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating
Advisor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder (if applicable)
with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.


 


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


 


(d)           With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell
the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer
shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require
that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder
as to whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for a Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Trustee
if the offeror is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the
related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without
the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not
required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion


 






    -244-


     


    

 


Loan is the Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer
has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior
written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted
sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer
in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most
recent appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holder
of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the sale price of the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan; and
(d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing
Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all
leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.
The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any
sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an
offer at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion
Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. If
the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at
its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real
estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the
subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a
fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. If the
Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such
third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions
of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and
the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If
such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall
be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.


 


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


 






    -245-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(c)          
Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement
thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection
Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option
and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance
pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to defer such reimbursement for such portion of
the Nonrecoverable Advance during the Collection Period, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve
(12) months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, any such deferral exceeding six
(6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing
Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement
with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance
(together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period
(subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance
shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In
connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to defer the reimbursement of
a particular Nonrecoverable


 






    -246-


     


    

 


Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received
until the end of such Collection Period before making its determination of whether to defer the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable
Advance or portion thereof); provided, that if, at any time the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to defer such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a
Nonrecoverable Advance during a Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on
or in respect of Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’
notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c),
unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which shall mean that (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could
jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes
known to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that could affect or cause a determination
of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination
in clause (i) above, or (iii) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, has not timely received
from the other such party information required by it to determine whether to defer reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Advance.
If any of the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence apply, the Master
Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give the 17g-5 Information Provider a notice for posting of the anticipated reimbursement
as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding or second
preceding sentence shall in no way affect the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s decision
to defer such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall
give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal
collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v). The Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies
contemplated by this Section 3.17(c).


 


The foregoing shall not,
however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply
with the conditions to making such an election under this section or to comply with the terms of this section and the other provisions
of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, that the fact that a decision to recover
such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other
classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing
Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to
Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
determines, in its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement,
then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the


 






    -247-


     


    

 


Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable
Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date
(deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing
itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection
periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to
the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s,
as applicable, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders
and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment
of distributions over the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to
reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement
or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and
none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability
to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes
as contemplated by this section or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such
an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining
from making an election, that is authorized under this Section 3.17(c).


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    -248-


     


    

 


to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan),
or for other purpose consistent with the Servicing Standard and the loan documents, upon a subsequent default.


 


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


 


Section 3.18       
Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a)  Except as set forth in Section 3.01(a), Section
3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), the subsequent paragraphs of this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section
3.18(h), Section 3.18(i), Section 3.18(m) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth
thereunder (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer’s processing and consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a)
with respect to any modification, waiver, amendment or other action that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision)
and, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Whole Loan (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject
to the rights of the related Companion Holder, as applicable, to advise or consult with the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver, amendment or other action, in each case, pursuant to
the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.18(m)) shall not modify, waive
or amend the terms of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or related Companion Loan or take any other action in respect thereof (if
any such action constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision and provided that it may process the modification, waiver
or amendment if and only if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process
such request) without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer (it being understood that the Master Servicer shall promptly
provide the Special Servicer with notice of any request for such modification, waiver, amendment or other action, the Master Servicer’s
written recommendation and analysis, and all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that may be reasonably requested
by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent); provided that such consent shall be deemed given (unless
earlier objected to by the Special Servicer) fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period provided under a related Intercreditor
Agreement) after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect
to such modification, waiver, amendment or other action and all information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer, and reasonably
available to the Master Servicer, in order to make an informed decision with respect to such modification, waiver or amendment;
provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a) shall (1) extend the Maturity
Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) if such Mortgage Loan
is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years
or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and
((A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded
Loan) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, ten (10) years prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate (including
any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral
of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan or the


 






    -249-


     


    

 


related Serviced Whole Loan at the related Mortgage Rate.
If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12)
months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or
related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension,
the Master Servicer shall (1) provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor
and ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded
Loan) the Directing Certificateholder, with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted
under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the
Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification”
of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject
to the Servicing Standard, ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other
than with respect to an Excluded Loan) obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (or (i) after the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than
with respect to any Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof)
(which consent or consultation shall be coordinated through the Special Servicer). In all cases, the Special Servicer shall process
any modification, waiver, amendment or consent with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan.


 


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


 


In connection with (i) the
release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from
the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced


 






    -250-


     


    

 


Mortgaged Property),
or any portion of such Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan
documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the
related Mortgagor of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value
of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification
of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, exclude the value of
personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.


 


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


 


Upon receiving a request
for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision with
respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Special Servicer
shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related
Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision.


 


(b)           If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness
or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional
collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred
or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced
by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present
value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion
Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the Special
Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (x) the provisions of
this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (y) with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Loan,
prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation
with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in Section 6.08; provided that with respect to any Serviced AB
Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, the approval of the holder
of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement
and the Directing Certificateholder shall have no


 






    -251-


     


    

 


consent or consultation rights regarding the matter; and (z) additionally,
with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, to advise or consult
with the Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the
terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that in the case
of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of
Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing),
the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions
involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a)
and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.01(a), Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b)
and Section 3.18 and subject to the Special Servicer’s consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18(a) if any such
waiver, modification or


 






    -252-


     


    

 


amendment constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer may, consistent
with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that
is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment
(i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)
and (ii) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. In making this determination, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may
obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at
the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected
from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided
that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the
Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge
or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by
all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a
Specially Serviced Loan.


 


(e)          
Subject to Section 3.18(c), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting
any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing,
the granting of which is within the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, discretion pursuant
to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and is permitted by the terms
of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, as additional
servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection with such request; provided

Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).


 


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


 


(g)           With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment which it is responsible for processing pursuant to this Section
3.18, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Special Servicer (if such action is processed

Certificateholder (other than (i) following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) with respect

is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof. The party that is responsible for processing such action shall deliver to
the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if such notice is being delivered by the Special Servicer) for deposit in the
related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and

forth above, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator, as applicable,
and the Master Servicer confirms with the Certificate Administrator that such amended CREFC® Investor Reporting
Package enables the Certificate Administrator to include such information on Form 10-D in a manner reasonably acceptable to the
Certificate Administrator, or (ii) the Trust is no longer subject to the Exchange Act, the additional report in the form of
Exhibit KK shall no longer be required hereunder. From time to time, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate
Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.

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 any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in
connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution
of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage


 






    -254-


     


    

 





Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance
complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral
consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies
the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related
Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to
the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including
payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense
of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security
interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan
documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition

the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance, including
but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage
Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor,
Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities
(if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency
Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25); provided, further,
however, that no such confirmation from any Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered
a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any
Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than
$20,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of all Mortgage Loans,
and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in clauses (ii), (iv) and
(v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, such reasonable costs shall
be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 


(i)           
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents,
to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of
Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii)
for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or
any portion thereof), in lieu of


 






    -255-


     


    

 


the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents or Serviced Whole Loan
documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer
(subject to the Special Servicer’s consent rights pursuant to Section 6.08 with respect to any such action that constitutes
a Major Decision) reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably
foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under
the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable or Companion Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect
that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion
Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect
to any Trust REMIC; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt
of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating
Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency
confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with
respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

desire to receive copies of such items), take any of the following actions to the extent they do not also constitute a Special
Servicer Decision or Major Decision: (i) grant waivers of non-material covenant defaults (other than financial covenants), including
late financial statements; (ii) consent to releases of non-material, non-income producing parcels of a Mortgaged Property that
do not materially affect the use or value of the Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due

documents and there is no lender discretion permitted under the Mortgage loan documents; (iii) approve or consent to grants of

(x) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (y) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any
other provisions therein or correct any error; provided, that (w) any such action would not in any way affect a payment
term of the Certificates, (x) any such action would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan
or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause any Trust REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Trust to the extent
not reimbursed or paid by the related Mortgagor), to the extent requesting such opinion is consistent with the Servicing Standard),
(y) agreeing to such action would be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (z) agreeing to such action would not violate
the terms, provisions or limitations of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing is intended to be a non-exclusive
itemization of actions the Master Servicer may take without having to obtain the approval of any other party and is not intended
to limit the responsibilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.

(unless, with respect to a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred) and ((i) prior
to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing
Certificateholder and shall return the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Master Servicer (or copies thereof if copies
only were delivered to the Special Servicer) and upon giving such notice, and returning such Mortgage File and Servicing File to
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Corrected Loan shall terminate and the obligations
of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan shall recommence.


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           No later than sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)
and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset
Status Report”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if applicable, and the related Mortgaged
Property to the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (but only in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than (A) any Excluded
Loan or (B) any Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, and in any event prior
to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (but, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan,
only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which
shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) and,


 






    -261-


     


    

 





with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the related Companion Holder or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion
Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the master servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced
Companion Loan has been sold; the Special Servicer shall also deliver a summary of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate
Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall post the summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator’s
Website. In no event shall the Master Servicer post any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report to its website. None of
the parties to this Agreement shall provide any Asset Status Report or any Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator.
Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable based on the information
that was delivered to the Special Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing pursuant to the Servicing Transfer Event:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(iv)          (A) the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how such Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status
(including the modification of a monetary term, and any workout, restructure or debt forgiveness) and returned to the Master Servicer
for regular servicing or otherwise realized upon (including any proposed sale of a Defaulted Loan or REO Property), (B) a description
of any such proposed or taken actions, and (C) the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the Special
Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    -262-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


If within ten (10) Business
Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing
or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the disapproval by the Directing
Certificateholder (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders
and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action
as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to
applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents. If, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan other than an Excluded Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination
Event, the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special
Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report
and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval,
to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence of
a Consultation Termination Event and, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination
Event and during a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), the Operating
Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider
(which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)).
With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than an Excluded Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan), prior to the occurrence
and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above
in this Section 3.19(d) until the Directing Certificateholder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report
in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination,
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the
holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole; provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved
the Asset Status Report for a period of sixty (60) Business Days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the
Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report, if consistent with the Servicing Standard;
provided, that such Asset Status Report does not, and is


 






    -263-


     


    

 


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


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, no direction or disapproval of the Directing Certificateholder hereunder or under a related Intercreditor
Agreement or failure of the Directing Certificateholder to consent to or approve (including any deemed consents or approvals) any
request of the Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced
Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance
with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust,
or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under
the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage
Loan Sellers, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective officers, directors, members, employees
or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s
or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.


 


If a Control Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing (or, with respect to the Serviced AB Whole Loan, if both a Control Termination Event has occurred
and is continuing and a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect), the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset
Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination
Event has occurred and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder). The Operating Advisor
shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following
the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably requested
by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives
to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible
Certificates), as a collective whole. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback
provided by the Operating Advisor (and, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Excluded Loan or (unless the
Directing Certificateholder is entitled to exercise the consultation rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under
the related Intercreditor Agreement) a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan), so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred,
by the Directing Certificateholder) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The
Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments received
in response from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, to the extent the Special Servicer


 






    -264-


     


    

 


determines that the
Operating Advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing
Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the
best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account
the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)), but the Special Servicer shall have no obligation (x) to
revise such Asset Status Report based on any such input or comments of the Operating Advisor or Directing Certificateholder, as
applicable or (y) to take or refrain from taking any action because of an objection, comment or recommendation by the Operating
Advisor or Directing Certificateholder, as applicable.


 


After the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan and any Servicing
Shift Whole Loan), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section
3.19. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation
Termination Event, each of the Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to any Excluded Loan) and the Operating Advisor
shall consult with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any
Asset Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan),
the Directing Certificateholder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right to receive any Asset Status
Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the Special Servicer shall only
be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above.


 


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


 


In the case of an Asset
Status Report relating to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, (i) the holder of the related Servicing Shift Control Note shall have all
of the rights that the Directing Certificateholder has prior to a Control Termination Event with respect to other Serviced Mortgage
Loans, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain the consent of the holder of the related Servicing Shift Control
Note to the same extent as it is required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to a Control Termination
Event with respect to other Serviced Mortgage Loans.


 


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


 






    -265-


     


    

 


The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with
the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.


 


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


 


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


 






    -266-


     


    

 





deliver in electronic format notice of such Final Asset Status Report and the summary of such Final Asset Status
Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b).


 


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


 


Section 3.20       
Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a)  The Master Servicer and, subject to the consent of the Directing Certificateholder
(prior to a Control Termination Event), the Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance
by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended
or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all
of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination
Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the
date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02
hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee
(for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier
Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee
or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii))
none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, any successor master servicer or special servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if
applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any
purchaser of an entire Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such
purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only
be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) hereof and in such additional manner and
by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights
of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust except through the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
the case may be, if and only to the extent provided pursuant to Section 6.04; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer
to modify any Mortgage Loan or make any other servicing decision unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan or make such servicing decision; (vii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer,
such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party; and (viii) provides
that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated
(following the expiration of any applicable Grace Period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange
Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor under ARTICLE
XI or under the


 






    -267-


     


    

 


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


 


(b)           Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties
it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability
of the related


 






    -268-


     


    

 


Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s
obligations under this Agreement.


 


(c)          
As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and
enforce the obligations of each of its Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer
shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of ARTICLE
XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements
in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out
to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it pursuant to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(g)           Except as provided below, each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person
becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing
Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement,
the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s
rights and obligations


 






    -269-


     


    

 


under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s
servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance
with its provisions prior to the termination of the Master Servicer; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without
limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume
and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement (including the termination provisions thereof) without further action
upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase
the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without
the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).


 


(h)           With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall,
upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the
related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording
access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the
Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.


 


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


 


Section 3.21       
Interest Reserve Account.


 


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


 


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

Section 3.22        
Directing Certificateholder and Operating Advisor Contact with Master Servicer and Special Servicer. Within a reasonable
time upon request from the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and no more often than on a monthly
basis, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone
available to verbally answer questions from (a) ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and
(ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder and (b) upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), regarding
the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, is responsible.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    -271-


     


    

 


“Directing Certificateholder”,
then the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its
representative) shall provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Directing Certificateholder; provided
that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled
to rely on the written notification provided by the purported Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate
Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class without independently verifying that such Controlling Class Certificateholder actually
owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class.


 


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


 


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


 


(e)           Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating
Advisor, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder,
a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Registrar, including names and addresses (or
Certificate Owners of the Controlling Class, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust). In addition to the foregoing, within
five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder or the existence of a new Controlling
Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RREF III Debt AIV, LP shall be the initial Directing Certificateholder and
shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event
occurs.


 


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


 


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


 






    -272-


     


    

 


(g)           Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Directing Certificateholder
may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the
Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Directing Certificateholder
does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the
Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of one or more Classes including the Controlling
Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Directing Certificateholder
shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)
through (iv) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any
director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Certificateholder for having so acted.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(l)           
At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the holder of a majority of the Class F Certificates and the
Class F Certificates are the Controlling Class, it may waive its right (a) to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and
(b) to exercise any of the Directing Certificateholder’s rights under this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered
to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall be via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com), the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during
such time as a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in existence solely as a


 






    -273-


     


    

 


result of the operation
of clause (ii) of the definition of Control Termination Event and clause (ii) of the definition of Consultation
Termination Event, such Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to no longer be in existence
and have not occurred with respect to any unaffiliated third party to whom the Controlling Class Certificateholder that irrevocably
waived its right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder has sold or transferred all or a portion
of its interest in the Class F Certificates if such unaffiliated third party holds the majority of the Controlling Class after
giving effect to such transfer (the “Non-Waiving Successor”). Following any such sale or transfer, the Non-Waiving
Successor shall again have the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint
a Directing Certificateholder or cause the exercise of the rights of the Directing Certificateholder) without regard to any prior
waiver by the predecessor Controlling Class Certificateholder. The Non-Waiving Successor shall also have the right to irrevocably
waive its right to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder.
The Non-Waiving Successor shall also have the right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder. No
Non-Waiving Successor described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced
Loan prior to the sale or transfer of the Class F Certificates to the Non-Waiving Successor and had not also become a Corrected
Loan prior to such sale or transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.


 


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


 


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


 


In the event that a Control
Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by a Class F Certificateholder,
who has become the Controlling Class Certificateholder, of its right to appoint a Directing Certificateholder or to exercise any
of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, such special notice shall


 






    -274-


     


    

 


state “A Control Termination Event and
a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by the Controlling Class Certificateholder of its rights
as Controlling Class Certificateholder.”


 


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


 


In the event of any transfer
of a Class F Certificate, and upon notice to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit NN that results in
a termination of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event, such “special notice” shall state:
“A Consultation Termination Event or a Control Termination Event has been terminated and is no longer in effect due to a
transfer of a majority interest of the Controlling Class Certificates to an unaffiliated third party which has terminated any waiver
by the prior Holder.”


 


(n)           Notwithstanding the proviso to, or any other contrary provision of, the definitions of “Control Termination Event”
and “Consultation Termination Event,” a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed
to have occurred with respect to an Excluded Loan, and neither the Directing Certificateholder nor any Controlling Class Certificateholder
shall have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded Loan.


 


Section 3.24       
Intercreditor Agreements. (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees
that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the
terms and provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan, and each
Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without
limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement
and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and Special
Servicer agrees not to take any action with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt or the related
Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, to the extent
that the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, is required or
permitted to consent to such action. Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Companion
Holder and each mezzanine lender or its respective designee has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided for therein. Each of the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer further acknowledges and agrees that any Serviced AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will
have the right to replace


 






    -275-


     


    

 


the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent provided
for herein and in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Directing
Certificateholder hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such
Companion Loan, to the extent the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Companion
Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Holder, the Directing Certificateholder shall not be permitted
to exercise such right or, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement, shall be required to exercise such right
in conjunction with the related Companion Holder, as applicable (except to the extent that the Directing Certificateholder is the
related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder).


 






    -276-


     


    

 


Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, seek the approval or obtain the consent of the holder of any
Serviced Companion Loan with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the extent required
under related Intercreditor Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of the related Companion Holder without
such consent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
deliver reports and notices to the related Companion Holder as required under the Intercreditor Agreement.


 


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


 


(f)            In addition to the consultation rights of the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan provided in the immediately
preceding paragraph, such Companion Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices
of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.


 






    -277-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


If there is no response
to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or
if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving
the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring
such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be
deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, confirms
its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating
Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the
applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer has been appointed and currently serves as a


 






    -278-


     


    

 


master servicer or special
servicer on a transaction-level basis on a transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding
and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer
as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status”
in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction
serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s
is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least
“CMS3” (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is
the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) KBRA has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer
or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement
on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed
securitization transaction rated by KBRA and serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to
the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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

Section 3.26       
The Operating Advisor. (a)  The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) all information made available
to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (A) that relates to any Specially Serviced Loan, and
(B) that is contained in the CREFC® Servicer Watch List prepared by the Master Servicer and (ii) each
Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer.


 


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


 


(c)          
(i)  After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s
annual meeting with the Special Servicer and the information described in Section 3.26(a), the Operating Advisor’s
review of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications
between the Directing Certificateholder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating
Advisor by the Special Servicer, including each Asset Status Report delivered during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor
shall (if any Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) were Specially Serviced Loans during the prior
calendar year) deliver to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, the Certificate Administrator (and made available through the Certificate
Administrator’s Website) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website) within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year for which a Control Termination Event was continuing
as of December 31, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form
of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor,
subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein
relating to Privileged Information; provided, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the
Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment
of the 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 and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans that the Special Servicer is responsible
for servicing under this Agreement; provided, further, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is
replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the special servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as
of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual
Report; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report for
each Excluded Special Servicer Loan.. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor
Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance in respect of such Serviced
AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence

and during the continuance of a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period under the related
Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(c) hereof,
each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard
and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation
of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other
than with respect to any REO Property related to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality
requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). Such Operating
Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual
Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider
(which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance
with Section 3.13(c)); provided, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating
Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information
Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are
provided by the Special Servicer. Only as used in this Section 3.26 in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report,
the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to
the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties
under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with
reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report
and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Directing
Certificateholder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor with respect to any calendar year as
to which no annual meeting was required to be held or if no Asset Status Report was prepared by the Special Servicer in connection
with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property.


 


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

(d)           Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior
to the occurrence and continuance of both a Control Termination Event and a related Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period), the
Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated by the Special Servicer
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 Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized.
The Operating Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not opine on or otherwise call into question such Appraisal Reduction
Amount calculations or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations (except that if the Operating
Advisor discovers a mathematical error contained in such calculations, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer
and the Directing Certificateholder of such error).


 


(e)          
(i)  After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, and with respect to any Serviced
AB Whole Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuance of both a Control Termination Event and a Serviced AB Control Appraisal
Period, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal
Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts calculated by the Special Servicer or (ii) net present value in accordance
with Section 1.02(iv), the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional
information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to
confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Operating Advisor
promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall
promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials,
recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary
portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.


 


(ii)          
In connection with this Section 3.26(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical
calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer) or net
present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such
calculation, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any 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 to the Operating Advisor. The
Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer
necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, that is in the
Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer. In the event the Operating 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
Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the


 






    -282-


     


    

 


Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials
provided by the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor and shall determine which calculation is to apply and shall provide
such parties prompt written notice of its determination.


 


(iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consultation duties of the Operating Advisor set forth in this Agreement shall not be
permitted to be exercised by the Operating Advisor with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan until after the occurrence and during
the continuance of both a Control Termination Event (except with respect to any Excluded Loan) and a related Serviced AB Control
Appraisal Period.


 


(f)          
After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, within sixty (60) days after the end of
each calendar year during which any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) was a Specially Serviced
Loan or any Mortgaged Property was an REO Property and during which an Asset Status Report was prepared by the Special Servicer
in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, the Operating Advisor shall meet, via telephone conference
or in person, as the Operating Advisor may determine is appropriate, with representatives of the Special Servicer (if it was acting
as Special Servicer as of December 31 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 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
the terms of this Agreement and other pertinent information the Operating Advisor may reasonably consider relevant, in each case,
insofar as such information relates to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans (other than Servicing Shift Mortgage
Loans) and REO Properties.


 


The Operating Advisor
shall provide the Special Servicer at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date proposed for any annual meeting.
The Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer shall determine a mutually acceptable date for the annual meeting, and the Operating
Advisor shall deliver, at least fourteen (14) days prior to such annual meeting, a proposed written agenda to the Special Servicer
identifying the Asset Status Reports to be discussed. The Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer may discuss any of the Asset
Status Reports produced and any Specially Serviced Loan and any REO Property as part of the Operating Advisor’s annual assessment
of the Special Servicer’s performance under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall make available servicing officers
with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties and the related platform level information
for each annual meeting.


 


(g)           The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not
disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder), other
than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that
such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement
that receives Privileged Information from


 






    -283-


     


    

 


the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information
shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless
a Control Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced
Whole Loan and other than any Excluded Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information
Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates
and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable
to the Operating Advisor.


 


(h)           Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in
respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to
time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).


 


(i)           
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee
on each Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan (excluding each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Servicing Shift
Mortgage Loan) and each successor REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue
from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or
REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which
any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Operating Advisor
Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement


 


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


 


In addition, the Operating
Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor
has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection
Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate
Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have not been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to
such Certificates, only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When
the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect
the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to
the extent not prohibited by the


 






    -284-


     


    

 


related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive
or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or
partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection;
provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the
Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations
or consultation rights in its capacity as operating advisor with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related
REO Property, (ii) any Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both a Serviced AB Control Appraisal
Period and a Control Termination Event or (iii) any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that the Operating
Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or (ii) Servicing
Shift Whole Loan.


 


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


 


(k)           After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders
representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts
to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall promptly terminate the Operating
Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such
termination shall be effective until a successor operating advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of
the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. No such termination shall terminate,


 






    -285-


     


    

 


change, reduce, or otherwise modify the rights
and obligations of the Operating Advisor that accrued prior to such termination, including the right to receive all amounts accrued
and owing to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination.
The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. Prior to
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the identity of the proposed replacement Operating Advisor
shall be subject to the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that
such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Directing
Certificateholder’s receipt of the request for consent (together with any information reasonably requested by the Directing
Certificateholder with respect to the proposed replacement Operating Advisor) and, if granted, such consent may not thereafter
be revoked or withdrawn. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor,
the Trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer,
the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website), the Depositor, the Directing Certificateholder (only if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing),
any Companion Loan holder and the Certificateholders.


 


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


 


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


 


(n)           The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset
Representations Reviewer and the Directing Certificateholder, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance
of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. No such resignation by the Operating
Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s
responsibilities and obligations. If no successor operating advisor has been so appointed and


 






    -286-


     


    

 


accepted the appointment within 30
days after the notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all
reasonable costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated
with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.


 


In addition, the Operating
Advisor may resign without cost or expense on or after any date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans remaining in the issuing entity is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date. The Operating Advisor shall provide all of the parties to this Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder thirty
(30) days prior written notice of any such resignation. If the Operating Advisor resigns pursuant to the foregoing, then no replacement
Operating Advisor shall be appointed. The resigning Operating Advisor shall be entitled to, and subject to, any rights and obligations
that accrued under this Agreement prior to the date of any such resignation (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and any
indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to its resignation.


 


(o)           In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates and the Class
E, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-G and Class R Certificates, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor
shall terminate without payment of any termination fee (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of
such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring
prior to such termination). In connection with any termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o), no successor operating
advisor shall be appointed. Upon receipt of written notice of such acts by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall
provide the Operating Advisor with prompt notice upon its termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o).


 


(p)           In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued
and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor
Expenses pursuant to Section 3.26(i) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.


 


(q)           The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed,
that (i) subject to Section 6.04, the Operating Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder for any actions
taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Operating Advisor shall act solely as a contracting
party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Operating Advisor shall have no (A) fiduciary duty, or (B) other
duty except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no duty to any particular class of Certificates
or particular Certificateholders, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within
the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.


 






    -287-


     


    

 


(r)           
Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided,
that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the
Operating Advisor or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Operating Advisor if the Operating Advisor and such Affiliate
maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Operating Advisor under this
Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel
from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Operating Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such
Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.


 


(s)          
The Operating Advisor shall at all times be an Eligible Operating Advisor and if the Operating Advisor ceases to be an Eligible
Operating Advisor, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign under Section 3.26(n) of this Agreement and the Trustee
shall appoint a successor operating advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.26.


 


(t)          
The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements
with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.26(t); provided that no agent
or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with a Sponsor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation
or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee,
the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect
to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Operating Advisor shall remain obligated
and primarily liable for its obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification
from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Operating
Advisor alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to enter into an agreement
with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Operating Advisor by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.


 


Section 3.27       
Companion Paying Agent. (a)  With respect to each of the Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer
shall be the Companion Paying Agent hereunder. The Companion Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.


 


(b)           No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Companion Paying Agent from liability for its negligent
failure to act, bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, that the duties and obligations of the Companion Paying
Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Companion Paying Agent shall not be liable except
for the performance of such duties and obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the Companion Paying Agent. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying


 






    -288-


     


    

 


Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth and correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instrument furnished to the Companion Paying Agent by any Person and
which on their face do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement.


 


(c)          
In the case of each of the Serviced Companion Loans, upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to
ARTICLE VII of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, as the Companion Paying Agent, shall be deemed simultaneously to resign
or be removed.


 


(d)           This Section 3.27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Companion
Paying Agent, as regards to rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal.


 


Section 3.28       
Companion Register. The Companion Paying Agent shall maintain a register (the “Companion Register”)
with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan on which it will record the names and address of, and wire transfer instructions for,
the Companion Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by each Companion Holder.
The initial Companion Holders with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans, along with their respective name and address, are listed
on Exhibit S hereto. In the event a Companion Holder transfers a Companion Loan without notice to the Companion Paying
Agent, the Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability for any misdirected payment in such Companion Loan and shall have no
obligation to recover and redirect such payment.


 


The Companion Paying
Agent shall promptly provide the name and address of the Companion Holder to any party hereto or any successor Companion Holder
upon written request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Companion
Paying Agent shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such name and address.


 


For the avoidance of
doubt, any notices or information required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement by any party hereto to a Companion Holder
with respect to a Companion Loan that has been included in an Other Securitization shall be provided to the Other Servicer under
the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Section 3.29       
Certain Matters Relating to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans. (a)  In
the event that any of the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, the applicable Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator, the applicable
Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge its successor as the successor
to the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, the applicable Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator, the applicable Non-Serviced Master
Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be.


 


(b)           If any of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that the
Master Servicer is no longer an “approved” master

servicer by any of the Rating Agencies rating the Certificates, then
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify each Non-Serviced Master
Servicer of the same.


 


(c)          
In connection with the securitization of each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (in each case, only while it is a Serviced
Companion Loan), upon the request of (and at the expense of) the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its designee), each
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such
Serviced Companion Noteholder in attempting to cause the related Mortgagor to provide information relating to such Whole Loan and
the related notes, and that such holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s)
relating to such Other Securitization.


 


(d)           Prior to the related Controlling Companion Loan Securitization Date, the Custodian shall hold the Mortgage File with respect
to each Servicing Shift Whole Loan. On the Controlling Companion Loan Securitization Date for any Servicing Shift Whole Loan (i)
the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release, transfer the related Mortgage File (other than the promissory note
evidencing the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the original of which shall be retained by the Custodian) for such Servicing
Shift Whole Loan to the related Non-Serviced Trustee and (ii) the Master Servicer shall, upon written request, if the Master Servicer
is not the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, transfer the Servicing File for such Servicing Shift Whole Loan to the related
Non-Serviced Master Servicer.

In connection with the sale of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan by any Non-Serviced Special Servicer, upon receipt of any notices
or materials required to be furnished by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer to the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control

Special Servicer may (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control
Termination Event) waive any timing or delivery requirements related to such sale to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor
Agreement.


 


(f)          
With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance

respect to Specially Serviced Loans) (consistent with the Servicing Standard), following the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Control Termination Event, shall be entitled to exercise any consultation rights held by the holder of such Mortgage Loan
in its capacity as a “Non-Controlling Note Holder” (or similar term identified in the related Intercreditor Agreement)
under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(h)          With respect to each Whole Loan, if any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or
such analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Other Asset
Representations Reviewer or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such Asset Review by
providing the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the
Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent such documents are in the possession
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.


 


(i)           
For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, upon reasonable request, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall provide to each Other Servicer that is servicing a related Serviced Companion Loan such information in its
possession as is necessary to enable each such Other Servicer to perform its servicing duties under the related Other Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


(j)           
If an expense under this Agreement relates, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, primarily to the administration of the Trust or any Trust
REMIC or the Grantor Trust 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 expense or grantor trust tax or expense with
respect to any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust, then such expense shall not be allocated to, deducted or reimbursed from, or otherwise

not suffer any adverse consequences as a result of the payment of such expense.

Section 3.32       
Litigation Control.


 


(a)          
With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO
Property, the Special Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action
brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, or other obligor on the related Note or any Affiliates thereof (each a “Borrower-Related
Party”) against the Trust, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer or any predecessor master servicer or special
servicer, and represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating to the rights and obligations of the Trust, or of
the Mortgagor or other Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), or otherwise with respect to the enforcement
of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Trust-Related Litigation”).
In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Trust-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not


 






    -291-


     


    

 


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 the Trust-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer
is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding subsection, the
Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to (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 or counter-claims against or on behalf of the Master Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.32(e);
and provided, further, that if there are claims or counter-claims against or on behalf of the Master Servicer and
the Master Servicer has not determined that separate counsel is required for such claims or counter-claims, such counsel shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer.


 


(c)          
The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake (or direct the Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of
any Trust-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Trust-Related Litigation unless and until (A) it has notified in
writing the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence
and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) (to the extent the identity of the Directing Certificateholder is actually
known to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator
as to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder) and the related holder of any Serviced Companion Loan (if such matter affects
such related Serviced Companion Loan) (to the extent the identity of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is actually known
to the Special Servicer), and (B) the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and
prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Control Termination Event) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business
Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing Certificateholder has reasonably
requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that if such
written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such 5 Business Day period, then the Directing Certificateholder
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 a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing
Certificateholder’s response.


 


(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or
consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder (or any other party to this Agreement) that would require or cause the
Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with


 






    -292-


     


    

 


the Servicing Standard,
require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or
cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan,
expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit
or liability, cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction”
or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s
or the Master Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities under this Agreement.


 


(e)          
Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer to represent the interests of the Trust in Trust-Related Litigation, and
subject to the rights of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer’s actions in this Section 3.32, the Master
Servicer shall retain the right to make determinations relating to claims or counter-claims against or on behalf of the Master
Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf in
the Master Servicer’s reasonable discretion, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided
in this Agreement.


 


(f)          
Further, nothing in this section shall require the Master Servicer to take or fail to take any action which, in the Master
Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, may (i) result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions or (ii) subject
the Master Servicer to liability or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.


 


(g)           Notwithstanding the Master Servicer’s right to make determinations relating to claims or counter-claims against or
on behalf of 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 or counter-claims asserted against or on behalf of 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 respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent or consultation of the
Directing Certificateholder prior to a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively) and (ii) otherwise
reasonably direct the actions of the Master Servicer relating to claims or counterclaims against or on behalf of the Master Servicer
(whether or not the Trust or the Special Servicer is named in any such claims or counter-claims or Trust-Related Litigation), provided
in either case that (A) such settlement or other direction does not require any admission of liability or wrongdoing on the
part of the Master Servicer, (B) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is paid by the Trust and 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, (D) any such action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed
(as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (E) the Special Servicer provides the Master
Servicer with assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer as to the items in clauses (A), (B) and
(C).


 


(h)           In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or Trust are named in Trust-Related Litigation, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate


 






    -293-


     


    

 


with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights
afforded to such party in this Section 3.32.


 


This Section 3.32
shall not apply in the event the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority
and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Trust-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in
accordance with the Servicing Standard.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or in the event
that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in
order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in
the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement
of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise relating
to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the
prior written consent of the Trustee, (A) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, whether
in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any
government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause,
and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee to grant such consent); and
(iii) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or
proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall have the right to retain counsel
and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee or individually
(but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, that nothing in this subsection shall
be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Trust-Related Litigation with respect to any Mortgage
Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and
continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively, to the extent required in Section
3.32(c), respectively) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trustee
of the Trust.


 


Section 3.33       
Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator.


 


Any Excluded Information
that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator
for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via e-mail (or
such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Information”
followed by the applicable loan name and loan file to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com. For the avoidance of doubt,
any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.33 shall not be separately
posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any


 






    -294-


     


    

 


information appropriately labeled and
delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.33 shall be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website under the “Excluded Information” section, as provided under Section 3.13. When so posted, the Excluded
Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling
Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate
Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans).
None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver
any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.33 until such party has received written notice with respect
to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1E to this Agreement. Nothing set forth in this
Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting
or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder
or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available on the Certificate
Administrator’s Website, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party
with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to obtain such information in accordance with Section
4.02(f) of this Agreement, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may require and rely on such certifications and
other reasonable information prior to releasing such information.

principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The pass
through rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Preliminary Statement
hereto.


 


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


 


(d)           After the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Class shall not be entitled to
any further distributions in respect of interest or principal other than reimbursement of Realized Losses and other amounts provided
for in this Section 4.01.


 


(e)          
Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date that represent Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance
Charges received by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributable
as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any Collection Period with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the end of such Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator
shall distribute to the Holders of each Class of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates the product of (a) such Yield Maintenance
Charge or Prepayment Premium, (b) the related Base Interest Fraction for such Class and the applicable principal prepayment,
and (c) a fraction, the numerator


 






    -300-


     


    

 


of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class for that Distribution
Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates (other than
the Class E Certificates and the Control Eligible Certificates) for that Distribution Date. Any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment
Premium described in the preceding sentence and remaining after the distributions in the preceding sentence (as to the applicable
Distribution Date, the “Class X YM Distribution Amount”) shall be distributed to the holders of the Class X
Certificates as follows: (1) first, to the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E and Class X-F Certificates, in the
case of each such Class in an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount
of principal distributed on the applicable Distribution Date with respect to the Underlying Class(es) of Principal Balance Certificates
for such Class of Class X Certificates, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed on
the applicable Distribution Date with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates, multiplied by (ii) the Class X YM Distribution
Amount for the applicable Distribution Date, and (2) second, to the Class X-G Certificates, in an amount equal to the Class
X YM Distribution Amount minus the distributions to the Holders of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E and Class X-F
Certificates pursuant to clause (1) of this sentence.


 


Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing to the contrary, if at any time the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class
E Certificates and the Control Eligible Certificates) have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of principal payments
on the Mortgage Loans, and any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any Collection Period with respect
to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the end of such Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator
shall distribute to the Holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates then entitled to distributions of principal on
such Distribution Date the product of (a) such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (b) the related Base Interest
Fraction for such Class and the applicable principal prepayment and (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount
of principal distributed to such Class for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal
distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates for that Distribution Date. Any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium
described in the preceding sentence and remaining after the distributions in the preceding sentence (as to the applicable Distribution
Date, the “Class X YM Subordinate Distribution Amount”) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates
as follows: (1) first, to the Class X-E and Class X-F Certificates, in the case of each such Class in an amount equal to
the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed on the applicable Distribution
Date with respect to the Underlying Class(es) of Principal Balance Certificates for such Class of Class X Certificates, and the
denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed on the applicable Distribution Date with respect to the Principal
Balance Certificates, multiplied by (ii) the Class X YM Subordinate Distribution Amount for the applicable Distribution Date,
and (2) second, to the Class X-G Certificates, in an amount equal to the Class X YM Subordinate Distribution Amount minus
the distributions to the Holders of the Class X-E and Class X-F Certificates pursuant to clause (1) of this sentence.


 


For purposes of the first
and second paragraphs of this Section 4.01(e), the relevant “Base Interest Fraction” in connection with
any Principal Prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium,
and


 






    -301-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


No Yield Maintenance
Charge or Prepayment Premium shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.


 


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


 


(f)          
 On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other
than amounts with respect to a Non-


 



    -302-


     


    


 


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


 


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


 


Each distribution with
respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible
for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures.
Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents
and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a ”brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”)
for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents.
None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Underwriters shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable
law.


 


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


 



    -303-


     


    

 


Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant
to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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

(j)           If there are any ARD Loans in the Trust Fund, on each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related
Collection Period with respect to any ARD Loans shall be distributed to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates from the
Excess Interest Distribution Account. Excess Interest will not be available to pay any other amounts except for distributions on
Excess Interest Certificates set forth in the prior sentence.


 


(k)          On the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Companion Paying Agent shall
make withdrawals and payments from the Companion Distribution Account for each Companion Loan in the following order of priority:


 


(i)           to pay to the Master Servicer any amounts deposited by the Master Servicer in the Companion Distribution Account not required
to be deposited therein;


 


(ii)          to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement and not otherwise previously reimbursed, to pay the Trustee
or the Certificate Administrator or any of their directors, officers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable
or reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section 8.05, to the extent any such amounts relate solely to a Serviced
Whole Loan related to such Companion Loan, and such amounts are to be paid by the related Companion Holder pursuant to the related
Intercreditor Agreement;


 


(iii)         to pay all amounts remaining in the Companion Distribution Account related to such Serviced Companion Loan to the related
Companion Holder, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement; and


 


(iv)         to clear and terminate the Companion Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.


 


All distributions from
the Companion Distribution Account required hereunder shall be made by the Companion Paying Agent to the related Companion Holder
by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date to the account of such Companion Holder
or an agent therefor appearing on the Companion Register on the related Record Date (or, if no such account so appears or information
relating thereto is not provided at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check sent by first class mail
to the address of such Companion Holder or its agent appearing on the Companion Register). Any such account shall be located at
a commercial bank in the United States.


 


Any Late Collections
received by the Master Servicer from the related Mortgagor that are allocable to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or, if such
Companion Loan has been securitized, reimbursable to the Other Master Servicer or Other Trustee under the related Other PSA) shall
be remitted by the Master Servicer to the holder thereof (or such Other Master Servicer or Other Trustee) within one (1) Business
Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds; provided, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00
p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such Late Collections
to such party within one (1) Business Day of receipt of


 



    -305-


     


    

 


properly identified and available funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer
shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds.


 


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

the form and substance of such information or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant
to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such
report.


 


The Special Servicer
shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with
such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master
Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be


 



    -310-


     


    

 


provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator.
None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate
the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report
or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon
in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Distribution
Date Statement required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section
4.04.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant
to this Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.02(c) or of Section
4.02(d) to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage
Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties. The Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable
discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).


 


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


 


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


 


(f)           Upon the reasonable request of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder that, in either
case, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan identified to the Master Servicer’s
(in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer’s (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) reasonable
satisfaction (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder) and if such information
is in the Master Servicer’s or


 



    -311-


     


    

 


Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder,
as applicable, (at the expense of the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable) any
Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible
to the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, through the Certificate Administrator’s
Website because the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is an Excluded Controlling
Class Holder with respect to another Excluded Controlling Class Loan) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect
to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is not a Borrower Party; provided
that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting
Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, generally to the
effect that such Person is the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information
confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition,
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder
or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D
that such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect
to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f) shall
include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).


 


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


 



    -312-


     


    

 


event that the Master Servicer fails to
make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m.,
New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal
to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for
deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC®
on such Distribution Date. . If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that
is part of a Whole Loan, then it shall provide to the related Other Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable,
and Other Trustee or Non-Serviced Trustee, as applicable, (and, to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement,
the related Other Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable) under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement
or Non-Serviced PSA, as applicable written notice of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within
two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance


 


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


 


(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced
Special Servicer) that it has made a P&I Advance on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that
any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer,
as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, if made, or any


 



    -313-


     


    

 


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


 


(d)          In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a),
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any
amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder
(unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), interest
at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but
not including the date of reimbursement; provided, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) if the related
Periodic Payment is received on or before the related Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if
the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related P&I Advance Date. The
Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to
Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in
the Collection Account.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Excess Interest,
Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums, or Balloon Payments or make any P&I
Advance with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan,


 



    -314-


     


    

 


an “appraisal reduction amount” has been made in accordance
with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the Master Servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) then in the event of subsequent
delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution
Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance)
to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution
Date without regard to this clause (ii), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which
is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related
Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated
to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan
immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the
Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.


 


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


 


Section 4.04     Allocation of Realized Losses. (a)  On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions
to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, by which
(i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of
the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise
determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans and any successor REO Loans immediately following such Distribution
Date, is less than (ii) the then-aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates after giving effect to
distributions of principal on such Distribution Date (any such deficit, the “Realized Loss”). Any allocation
of Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so
allocated. Any Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates
of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses shall constitute an
allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will
not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance
of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance
Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections
on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on
the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal
Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in sequential order, in each case up to the amount of the
unreimbursed Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.


 



    -315-


     


    

 



(b)          
On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution,
as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date.
Any such write off shall be allocated first, to the Class G, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C,
Class B and Class A-S Certificates, in that order, and second, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate
Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates, in
each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero.


 


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


 


Section 4.05       
Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a)  For purposes of (x) determining the
Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting
Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, (A) Appraisal Reduction
Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to each
Class of Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance
of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class G, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C,
Class B and Class A-S Certificates, in that order, and finally, pro rata based on their Certificate Balances,
to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates), and (B) Collateral
Deficiency Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated
to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances
until the Certificate Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero (i.e., to the Class G Class F and Class E
Certificates, in that order). Following receipt from the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator
of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan (which notification may be satisfied through
delivery pursuant to Section 3.12(d) of such information included in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File
or the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package).


 


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


 



    -316-


     


    

 


preceding clause (i) that the Special Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral
Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced
Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency
Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Special Servicer thereof. Upon reasonable prior written
request, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required
to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator
shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.


 


The Special Servicer
shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, any
Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified
Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which notification may be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC®
Loan Periodic Update File or the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC®
Investor Reporting Package). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to
time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of
the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m) and shall promptly post notice of any Appraisal Reduction Amount,
Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s
Website. With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, calculated for purposes
of (x) determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred
and is continuing and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer
or the Operating Advisor, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis.


 


(b)          
(i)  The Holders of the majority by Certificate Balance of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is
determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”)
as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at
their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the Master
Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole
Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders,
the “Requesting Holders”). With respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable
best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written
request and will ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that
such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are
requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal). With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall


 



    -317-


     


    

 


use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer
and to forward such second appraisal to the Special Servicer.


 


(ii)          
Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for
Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and applicable
Intercreditor Agreement) and the Special Servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and for Cumulative
Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based
on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency
Amount is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency
Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and any information received from the Master Servicer. If required
by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each Appraised-Out Class shall,
if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal
Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class may not exercise any direction,
control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling
Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of any request to obtain a
supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Master Servicer
determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the
Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on the supplemental
Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review
Period shall be exercised by the most subordinate Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if
any, during such period.


 


(c)          
The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to order an Appraisal or conduct a valuation promptly upon the occurrence
of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan. On the first Determination Date occurring on or after
the tenth business day following the receipt of the Appraisal or the completion of the valuation, the Special Servicer shall calculate
and report to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence
of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the Appraisal Reduction Amount, taking into account the
results of such Appraisal or valuation and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably
necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report shall be forwarded by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer
if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been
included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the such Serviced Pari Passu
Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.


 






    -318-


     


    

 


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


 



    -319-


     


    

 


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


 


The Master Servicer shall
deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine,
calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within
four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor (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,
if the date of such Appraisal is prior to the date of the related Appraisal Reduction Event or anniversary thereof, as applicable,
the date of the related Appraisal Reduction Event or such anniversary, as applicable) 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 use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following
the Special Servicer’s reasonable request. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral
Deficiency Amounts.


 


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


 


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

related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, based upon
their respective outstanding principal balances.

or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information, or
(vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact

Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed
to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Underwriters, Depositor,

the Operating Advisor shall not be required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require
the Operating Advisor to provide information to such inquiring Certificateholders that they are otherwise not entitled to receive

(i) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or
any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver
of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency

it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email
of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason
it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum

(b)          
The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether
the type, number or contents of any Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates

dissemination of the documents or information contained on the Secure Data Room;
provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The
Certificate Administrator shall not be required to restrict access to the Secure Data Room on a loan-by-loan basis and any Person
with access to the Secure Data Room shall covenant to access only the information necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities
under this Agreement.

Upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07, the Certificate Administrator
shall transfer electronic copies of the Diligence Files to a successor certificate administrator designated in writing by the Depositor
or the Master Servicer, and all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the Diligence Files shall be payable as part
of the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its responsibilities upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate
Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07. Following the date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased
or otherwise removed from the Trust, the Special Servicer may direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence
File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator
shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant
to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room. Upon deletion,
in no event shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required by law, or as may, consistently
herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof. The Class X

Transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary book-entry certificate
in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto

on behalf of the purchasers of the Non-Registered Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal
trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for

commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”),
beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream.
After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may

respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the

of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry
Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by


 



    -326-


     


    

 


adjustments
made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.


 


On the Closing Date,
the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall
deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar
for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby

If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee
or an Affiliate thereof.

(d)

of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is
no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates
of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified
successor within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any
judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection
with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such
Class; provided, that under no circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners
of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i)
or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form


 



    -327-


     


    

 


of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender
by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration,
the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of
a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne

as Certificateholders under this Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry
records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will
refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through
the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all
references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments,

(e)          
Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Rule 144A Book-Entry
Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time to exchange
its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest
in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Temporary Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the
form of an interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear
or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial
interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar,
at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable,
and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest
in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate
or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant
account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with
respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A
Book-Entry Certificate (i) during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto given by
the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S

is a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (ii) after the Restricted Period, an Investment Representation Letter in the form of
Exhibit C attached hereto from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer
(an “Investment Representation Letter”) and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the

    -330-


     


    

 


instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry
Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial
interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate that is being transferred.


 


(f)          
Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Interests in a Temporary
Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate as to which the Certificate Registrar has received from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the
case may be, a certificate (a “Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification”) to the effect that Euroclear or
Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto from the holder
of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period,
for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange
by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry
Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate
Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor
and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been
delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate.
Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect
the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S
Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and
except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A
Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


(g)          
Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than a Class R

of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof
in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream,
if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial
interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar,
at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided
herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited,
a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book
Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository
to be credited with such


 



    -331-


     


    

 


increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit M hereto (in the event that the
applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N
hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form
of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate),
then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate,
shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate
Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased,
such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged
and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the
applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled.
Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com) or its Affiliate,
the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.


 


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


 


(i)           
Other Exchanges. In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate, such Certificates
may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of subsections (c)
through (f) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A
or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate
Registrar.


 


(j)

transfers of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S)
shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of subsection (e) above.


 


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

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


 


(m)          
With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial
transfer to the Initial Purchasers) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall
have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not (A) an
employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the
Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA)
for which no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code or any other plan subject to any federal, state or local
law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code
(each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (within the meaning
of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance
company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such
insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III
of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, would not result in
a non-exempt violation of Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate which may be held only by a person not described in clauses (A)
or (B) above, is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion
of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that
the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited
transaction” within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and
will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Initial Purchasers,
the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under
ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. The Trustee and
Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate
unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received either the representation letter described in clause (i)
above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii) above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters
or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner
of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clauses (i)(A)
or (i)(B) above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute
or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate
the provisions of this Section 5.03(m) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted
under applicable law.

using the assets of a Plan (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42)

and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the
applicable Certificates.


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)          
No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register,
without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer,
and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer
of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed
transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an
affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed
transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee
historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands
that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual
interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they
become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable
to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable


 



    -334-


     


    

 


income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee
or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person
that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not
a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section
5.03(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement
from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”),
that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual
knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.


 


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


 


(o)          
The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.


 


(p)          
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate
Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required
for such withholding, and each Certificateholder shall be deemed by the acceptance of its Certificate to agree to provide the Certificate
Administrator information relating to such Certificateholder solely to the extent necessary for the Certificate Administrator to
determine any required withholding amounts. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original
issue discount


 



    -335-

Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Person. Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed
to such Persons for all purposes of this Agreement.

Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate
and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless,
then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 5.04 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 5.05       
Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor
any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, that to the extent that a party to this
Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders
has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information
to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee) under the same circumstances, and subject to the same conditions, as such
report, statement or other information as would be provided to a Certificateholder.


 


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

desires to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates
and (iii) provides a copy of the communication which Certificateholder proposes to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar
shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, furnish such Certificateholder (at such Certificateholder’s
sole cost and expense) access during normal business hours to the most recent list of the Certificateholders. Every Certificateholder,
by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure
of any such information as to the list of the

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


 


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


 


(b)          
In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings
in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein. Holders may only vote in accordance
with their Voting Rights. Voting Rights with respect to any outstanding Class of Certificates shall be calculated by the Certificate
Administrator in accordance with the definition of Voting Rights as of the record date for the vote. Only Classes with an outstanding
Certificate Balance greater than zero as of the record date of the vote shall be permitted to vote. Once a Holder has cast its
vote, the vote may be changed or retracted on or before the vote deadline. Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by
the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not
be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the
Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into
consideration the votes cast by any other Holder. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates are subject to and shall
be bound by all votes of Holders initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate.


 


(c)          
The Certificate Administrator may take up to fifteen (15) Business Days to tabulate the results of any vote. The Certificate
Administrator shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve any illegible or incomplete ballots received prior to the voting deadline.
Illegible or


 



    -339-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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

a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability

(b)          
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor each may be merged or consolidated with
or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets (which may be limited to all or substantially all of its
assets related to commercial mortgage loan servicing or commercial mortgage surveillance, as the case may be) to any Person, in
which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Operating Advisor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or
the Operating Advisor (such Person, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in each of the foregoing cases,
the “Surviving Entity”), as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper (other
than an assumption agreement wherein the successor shall agree to perform the obligations of and serve as the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that

a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to ratings of the Classes of Certificates or, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion
Loan Securities, a confirmation of the rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
of its then-current ratings; provided, further, that for so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any Serviced
Companion Loan included as part of the trust in a related Other Securitization, is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor notifies the Depositor in writing (a “Merger
Notice”) of any such merger, consolidation, conversion or other change in form, and the Depositor or the depositor in
such Other Securitization, as the case may be, notifies the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as
applicable, in writing that the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, has discovered that


 



    -347-


     


    

 


such successor entity has not complied with its Exchange Act reporting obligations under any other commercial mortgage loan securitization
(and specifically identifying the instance of noncompliance), then it shall be an additional condition to such succession that
the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have consented (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such successor entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Master Servicer, Special Servicer
or Operating Advisor may remain the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, under this Agreement
after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any Person that is a Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or
substantially all of its assets to any Person if such Person is a Prohibited Party, except to the extent (i) the Master Servicer,

to such merger, consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, within sixty (60) days following
the date of delivery of the Merger Notice to the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, the
Depositor or depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have failed to notify the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, in writing of the Depositor’s determination, or depositor’s determination, in the
case of an Other Securitization, to grant or withhold such consent, such failure shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such
consent. If the conditions to the provisions in the second preceding sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate, and if the
conditions set forth in the third proviso of the third preceding sentence are not met the Trustee shall terminate, the applicable
Surviving Entity’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, such termination to be effected in the manner set forth
in Section 7.01.


 


(i)          
The Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep in full effect its existence and rights as an entity under the laws of the

its duties under this Agreement.


 


(ii)          
Any Person into which the Asset Representations Reviewer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger or consolidation to which the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business
of the Asset Representations Reviewer, shall be the successor of the Asset Representations Reviewer hereunder, and shall be deemed
to have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of such Asset Representations Reviewer hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, that the Trustee has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such successor or surviving Person
if the Asset Representations Reviewer is not the successor or surviving Person. The rate at which the Asset Representations Reviewer
Asset Review Fee (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not be affected by such merger, consolidation or succession, and
the Asset Representations Reviewer shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each party hereto and each Rating Agency in
connection with such merger, consolidation or succession.

Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations

on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, certificate of
auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement,
agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format) as contemplated by and in accordance with this Agreement

proper party or parties and each of them may consult with counsel, in which case any written advice of counsel or Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it

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

agent thereof, and hold them harmless, from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal
fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising from
or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations

be, shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator
or the Depositor) 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

under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, defense
of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.

    -353-


     


    

 


misconduct or committed bad faith or negligence in the performance of their
respective obligations and duties hereunder or acted in negligent disregard of such obligations and duties if the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow any terms of any Mortgage Loan documents because the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that compliance with such terms would or potentially
would cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust or cause the Grantor Trust
to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code (for which determination the Master Servicer and
Special Servicer will be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an additional expense of

each of them except upon (a) determination that such party’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable
law or (b) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such
appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), and receipt
by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any
applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings
of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered
satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant
to Section 3.25). Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant
to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect
delivered to the Trustee and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder. Unless
applicable law requires the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be) to be effective immediately,
and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer under clause (a) above shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer or
successor special servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable,
responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 and no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall become effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section
11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Upon any termination
(as described in Section 7.01(c)) or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pursuant to this Section
6.05, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right and opportunity to appoint any successor
master servicer or special servicer with respect to this Section 6.05; provided that, such successor master servicer
or special servicer shall not be the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor or one of their respective Affiliates
and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) such successor special servicer is approved by the
Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The resigning party shall pay all costs and expenses
(including out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator)


 



    -354-


     


    

 


associated with a transfer
of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), in no event shall the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if such Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.


 


Section 6.06

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

would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.


 


Section 6.08       
The Directing Certificateholder. (a)  Other than with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the
related holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal Period, for so long as
no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to advise (1) the
Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Specially Serviced Loan with respect to matters involving

provided, that in the event that

receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within ten (10) Business Days following its written request for input
on any required consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the
specific matter; provided, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond shall not relieve the Special
Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan
or Serviced Whole Loan. In addition, after a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with
the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation
with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event hereunder) and consider
alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding
basis. In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) Business Days

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


 


Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), including, without limitation, the first proviso set forth at the conclusion of
the immediately preceding paragraph, (a) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major
Decision” with respect to (i) any Specially Serviced Loan and (ii) any Non-Specially Serviced Loan (unless the Master Servicer
and Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request) and (b) the Master Servicer shall process
all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major Decision” with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan if
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request. Upon receiving
a request for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer
and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request, the
Special Servicer will be required to process such request and the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect
to such request or the related Major Decision. In addition, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any action to be taken
under this Agreement with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which action is equivalent of an action under clause (xiii)
of the definition of “Major Decision,” shall be processed by the Special Servicer as if it were a Major Decision under
this Agreement.


 


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


 



    -359-


     


    

 


or fail to act, in a manner
which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of
the Certificateholders.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



    -360-


     


    

 


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


 


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

(b)          
If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes
of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every
such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee or the Depositor may, and at the

    -363-


     


    

 


Shift Control Note
(solely with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, and the Special Servicer with respect thereto) or the Holders of Certificates
entitled to 25% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate (and the Depositor may direct the Trustee to terminate each

or Companion Holder, if applicable); provided, that the Affected Party shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid
compensation and reimbursement through the date of such termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered
and expenses incurred. From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in
this ARTICLE VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
(other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with
respect to a termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected

things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement
or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer each agree that
if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business
Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it
to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, functions hereunder, and
shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as
the case may be, responsibilities and rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall
at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account or any Servicing Account (if it is
the Affected Party), by the Special Servicer to the REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter be received with respect

pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) or pursuant to Section 7.01(d) (with respect to the Special Servicer), continue
to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination,
whether in respect of Advances (in the case of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer) or otherwise, and it and its Affiliates
and the directors, managers, officers, members, employees and agents of it and its Affiliates shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Section 3.11 and Section 6.04 notwithstanding any such termination). If replaced as a result of a
Servicer Termination Event, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be responsible for the costs and
expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.


 


(c)          
If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(b) solely due to a Servicer Termination
Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (ix), the Master Servicer shall have a forty-five (45) day period after such
notice in which to find a successor


 



    -364-


     


    

 


master servicer qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section
6.03 and Section 7.02 and to which the Master Servicer can sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this
Agreement. During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder. In the
event that the Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer
to assume the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder.


 


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


 


(d)          
Subject to the rights of the holder of a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor
Agreement at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any
Excluded Loan or any Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject
to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause,
upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee
and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer (which must be
a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d). Upon a termination of such Special
Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) shall appoint a successor special servicer;
provided, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) the Trustee
has provided each Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall
be effective until the Certificate


 



    -365-


     


    

 


Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof
and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.


 


After the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal
Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof) of the Principal Balance
Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction
to assume the duties of the Special Servicer hereunder, (b) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the
reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate
Administrator in connection with administering such vote and which will not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery
by such Holders to each Rating Agency (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee) of a Rating Agency Communication
(which Rating Agency Communication shall be provided at the expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly
post notice to all Certificateholders of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section
3.13(b) and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard, which vote shall
occur within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates
evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum of Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer
(which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall
include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate
Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholder’s direction to remove the Special Servicer shall not apply to (i) any
Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Serviced AB
Control Appraisal Period or (ii) any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.


 


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


 






    -366-


     


    



 


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


 


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


 


Following the occurrence
of a Consultation Termination Event, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Operating Advisor determines that
the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer,
a written report, substantially in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its
recommendation (along with any information the Operating Advisor considered relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a
replacement Special Servicer (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to
incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided,
further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene
any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying
its recommendation) and


 



    -367-


     


    

 


recommending a suggested replacement special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer, which
shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all
Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance
with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the
affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking
into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances
of such Certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s
recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) the delivery of a Rating Agency Communication to
each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee
shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor
special servicer approved by the Certificateholders and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective
date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside
counsel) associated with providing such Rating Agency Communications and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s
identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. In the event that the Trustee
does not receive at least a majority of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer.
Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to
the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to
(i) a Serviced AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder is not subject to a Serviced AB Control Appraisal
Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) a Servicing Shift Whole Loan.


 


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


 


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


 


(e)          The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions
as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed
on “watch” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency.
In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii)
and (ix) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c).


 



    -368-


     


    

 


The operation of this subsection (e)
shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (ix).


 


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


 


(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer
Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence
and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan,
the Directing Certificateholder may select (and, at any time, replace) an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning
Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded
Loan or if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer but does not so appoint within
thirty (30) days of notice of such resignation, the resigning Special Servicer shall select the related Excluded Special Servicer.
The Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer.
In addition, the Special Servicer shall have no liability with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer,
so long as at the time of appointment the Excluded Special Servicer selected by the resigning Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement
Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment
would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then current ratings of the Certificates and the equivalent
from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari
Passu Companion Loan, (ii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the
applicable Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable depositor and
certificate administrator of any other securitization, if applicable, that contains a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the information,
if any, required pursuant to Item 6.02 of the Form 8-K regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.


 


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


 



    -369-


     


    

 


an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided
that the Special Servicer will remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and
Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).


 


The applicable Excluded
Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and
shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such
time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.


 


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


 


Section 7.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.05 or receives a notice
of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed
within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor
to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing
Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and
have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, that any failure to perform such
duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys
required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer
shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer,
and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may
have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor
Master Servicer or Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06
hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor
master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee
as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion
Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder,


 



    -370-


     


    

 


including but
not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section
3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special
Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and
liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01
to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer,
as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall
be unwilling to act as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so
act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if the Directing Certificateholder (solely with
respect to the Special Servicer) ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than
with respect to any Excluded Loan or Servicing Shift Whole Loan) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the
Voting Rights (or the related Controlling Holder (to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement, solely with respect
to the related Serviced Whole Loan and the special servicer in respect thereof)) so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets
the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be
effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities,
duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency
and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation
may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the
Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) such appointment (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) has been
approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant
to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by
law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption
of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation
of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, that no such compensation
with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted
the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer (whichever is not the terminated party) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as
shall be necessary


 



    -371-


     


    

 


to effectuate any such succession. Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer
of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be)
has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor master servicer or special servicer for such expenses
within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided
that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and
to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting
such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the
Trust. In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination,
or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs
and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with
this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.


 


If the Trustee or an
Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 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 7.02, 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 7.02.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.04     Waiver
of Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated
to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer


 



    -372-


     


    

 


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


 


Section 7.05     Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to
make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business
Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event
under Section 7.01(a)(iii) hereof to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure
with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect
to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless
such failure has been cured. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master
Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of
reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable
P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement
caused by such Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, that if Advances made by the Trustee
and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts
available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the
Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement
of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to
a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, that:


 


(i)           Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, and after the curing of all such Servicer Termination Events which

of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee

and

(iii)         Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to greater
than 25% (i) of the Percentage Interest of each affected Class, or (ii) if each Class is an affected Class of the aggregate
Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator, under this Agreement (unless a higher percentage of Voting Rights is required for such action).


 


(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall make available via its internet website initially located at www.ctslink.com

therein or thereby; neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights

assured to it; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer
Termination Event which has not been cured, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use


 



    -375-

of his own affairs;

by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, may
require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it from such requesting Holders against such expense or liability as a condition to
taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such reasonable examination shall be paid by the requesting Holders;


 


(vi)         The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; provided, that the appointment of such agents or attorneys shall not

the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may not perform any duties hereunder through any Person that
is a Prohibited Party;


 


(vii)        For all purposes under this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed
to have actual knowledge or notice of any Servicer Termination Event or Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event or any
act, failure or breach of any Person upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or Certificate Administrator may be required to act

as applicable, negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency;


 


(x)           In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of
its obligations hereunder due to force majeure or acts of God; provided that such failure or delay is not also a

Each of the Trustee and
the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to all of the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to

recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than the acknowledgments of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator
in Sections 2.02 and 2.04 and the signature, if any, of the Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent set
forth on any outstanding Certificate, shall not be taken as the statements of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, and
the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator assume no responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate
Administrator makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of any Certificate (other than as
to the signature, if any, of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator set forth thereon) or of any Mortgage Loan or related
document. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of any of the Certificates issued to it or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, or any funds deposited in or withdrawn from the
Collection Account or any other account by or on behalf of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or in the case
of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for and may
rely upon the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator,
in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.


 


Section 8.04     Trustee or Certificate Administrator May Own Certificates. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, each in
its individual capacity, not as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates, and may
deal with the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters in banking transactions, with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee or the Certificate Administrator.


 


Section 8.05     Fees and Expenses of Trustee and Certificate Administrator; Indemnification of Trustee and Certificate Administrator.
(a)  As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, the Certificate Administrator will be paid the Certificate
Administrator/Trustee Fee equal to the Certificate Administrator’s portion of one month’s interest at the Certificate
Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate, which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Certificate Administrator.
The Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee shall be paid monthly on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis. As to each Mortgage
Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of an REO Loan related to any Companion Loan), the Certificate Administrator shall pay
to the Trustee monthly the Trustee Fee from the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, which Certificate Administrator/Trustee
Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate and the Certificate Administrator/Trustee
Fee shall be computed in the same manner as interest is


 



    -378-


     


    

 


calculated thereon and for the same period respecting which any related
interest payment due or deemed thereon is computed. The Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited to any provision of law in regard
to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall be payable by the Certificate Administrator to the Trustee from the
Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee and shall constitute the Trustee’s sole form of compensation for all services rendered
by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the
Trustee hereunder, except for the reimbursement of expenses specifically provided for herein. The Certificate Administrator/Trustee
Fee shall constitute the Certificate Administrator’s sole form of compensation for the exercise and performance of its powers
and duties hereunder, except for the reimbursement of expenses specifically provided for herein. No Trustee Fee or Certificate
Administrator/Trustee Fee shall be payable with respect to any Companion Loan.


 


(b)          The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in each case, including in its capacity as Custodian and in its individual capacity)
and any director, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, respectively, shall
be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust (to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or
the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, as applicable, from time to time) against any loss, liability or expense (including,
without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in
settlement, and expenses incurred in becoming successor master servicer or successor special servicer, to the extent not otherwise
paid hereunder) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, any act or omission of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator,
respectively, relating to the exercise and performance of any of the powers, rights and duties of the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator, respectively (including in any capacities in which they serve, such as paying agent, REMIC Administrator, Authenticating
Agent, Custodian, Certificate Registrar, and 17g-5 Information Provider) hereunder; provided, that none of the Trustee or
the Certificate Administrator, nor any of the other above specified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Section 8.05(b) for (i) allocable overhead, (ii) expenses or disbursements incurred or made by or on behalf of
the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, in the normal course of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator,
respectively, performing its duties in accordance with any of the provisions hereof, which are not “unanticipated expenses
of the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (iii) any expense or liability
specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof or (iv) any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s,
respectively, obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations or duties, or as may arise
from a breach of any representation or warranty of the Trustee specified in Section 8.12 or the Certificate Administrator
specified in Section 8.14, respectively, made herein. The provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, and appointment
of a successor thereto. The foregoing indemnity shall also apply to the Certificate Administrator in all of its capacities hereunder,
including Custodian, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent.


 


(c)          The Certificate Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and Mortgage Loan Sellers from and against
any claims, losses, damages, penalties,


 



    -379-


     


    

 


fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs
and expenses incurred by the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon (i) a
breach by the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as 17g-5 Information Provider or in any other capacity in which the Certificate
Administrator is required to make available information to a Privileged Person that is an NRSRO, of its obligations under this
Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity
as 17g-5 Information Provider or in any other capacity in which the Certificate Administrator is required to make available information
to a Privileged Person that is an NRSRO, in the performance of such obligations or its negligent disregard of its obligations and
duties under this Agreement.

national bank or national banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation, national bank or national banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In the event the place of business from which the Certificate
Administrator administers the Trust REMICs or the Grantor Trust or in which the Trustee’s office is located is in a state
or local jurisdiction that imposes a tax on the Trust on the net income of a REMIC (other than a tax corresponding to a tax imposed
under the REMIC Provisions) or a grantor trust, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable shall elect either

    -380-


     


    

 


immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07, (ii) pay such tax at no
expense to the Trust or (iii) administer the Trust REMICs or the Grantor Trust, as applicable, from a state and local jurisdiction

Section 8.07     Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and Certificate Administrator. (a)  The Trustee and the Certificate
Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, 17g-5 Information Provider and to all Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall
post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and provide notice
of such event to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly
post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c). Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Depositor shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor
certificate administrator acceptable to the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination
Event, the Directing Certificateholder by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee or Certificate Administrator and to the successor trustee or certificate administrator. A copy of such instrument shall
be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or Certificate Administrator,
as applicable, by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator,
as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. The Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator, as applicable, shall bear all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of each other party hereto and each Rating
Agency in connection with its resignation.


 


(b)          If at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.06 (and in the case of the Certificate Administrator, Section 5.08) and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator
or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator
or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if the Trustee or Certificate
Administrator (if different than the Trustee) shall fail to timely publish any report to be delivered, published or otherwise made
available by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.02 and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period
of five (5) days, or if the Certificate Administrator fails to make distributions required pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section
9.01, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, at such removed party’s
cost, and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the Master Servicer, by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee
or certificate administrator in the case of the removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor. If no successor trustee
or certificate administrator shall have


 



    -381-


     


    

 


been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving
of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust.


 


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


 


(d)          Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or certificate
administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until (i) acceptance
of appointment by the successor trustee or certificate administrator as provided in Section 8.08 and (ii) the Certificate
Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have
been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Further, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as the
case may be, shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.


 


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


 


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

    -382-


     


    

 


Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31

documents were assigned to the outgoing trustee), assign such Mortgage Loan documents to such successor, and such successor shall
review the documents delivered to it or to 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; (b) if any original executed
Mortgage Note for a Mortgage Loan was not endorsed to the outgoing trustee, the Custodian shall, upon its receipt of a Request
for Release, deliver such Mortgage Note to the Depositor or the successor trustee, as requested, and the Master Servicer and the
Depositor shall cooperate with any successor trustee to ensure that such Mortgage Note is endorsed (without recourse, representation
or warranty, express or implied) to the order of the successor, as trustee for the registered Holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of
America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31 or in blank; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent any such endorsement of such Mortgage Note requires the
signature of the related Mortgage Loan Seller in order to comply with the foregoing, then the Master Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to execute such endorsement; (c) if any other assignable Mortgage Loan
document was not assigned to the outgoing trustee, the Custodian shall, upon its receipt of a Request for Release, deliver such
Mortgage Loan document to the Depositor or the successor trustee, as requested, and the Master Servicer and the Depositor shall

administrator.

appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall become effective and such
successor trustee or certificate administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee
or Certificate Administrator herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related
documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held on its behalf by the Custodian, which
Custodian, at Custodian’s option shall become the agent of the successor trustee), and the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations,

Servicer.

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 the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially
all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be the successor of the Trustee or the
Certificate Administrator, as applicable, hereunder; provided that, in the case of the Trustee, such successor person shall

part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Certificate Administrator shall post such
notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and shall provide notice of such
event to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall post such notice

Section 8.10      Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a)  Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the

and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees,
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such
Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days
after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders
of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08

(b)         In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers,
duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.


 


(c)          Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then-separate
trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this ARTICLE VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly
with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including
every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.


 


(d)         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.


 


(e)          The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its
duties and responsibilities hereunder.

of the Mortgage Files. The Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall
have combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it
holds any Mortgage File. The Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and standard of care as would be imposed on the
Certificate Administrator hereunder in connection with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Certificate Administrator.
Upon termination or resignation of the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator may appoint another Custodian meeting the foregoing
requirements. The appointment of one or more Custodians by the Certificate Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator
from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of
any Custodian other than the initial Custodian. Any Custodian appointed hereunder must maintain a fidelity bond and errors and
omissions policy in an amount customary for Custodians which serve in such capacity in commercial mortgage loan securitization
transactions, or may self-insure.

Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

and any


 






    -393-


     


    

 



REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal
expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence.


 


(d)              
By acceptance thereof, (i) the Holders of the Class R Certificates hereby agree to the irrevocable designation of the Certificate
Administrator as the “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code,
to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs and (ii) the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class
R Certificates hereby agrees to the irrevocable appointment of the Certificate Administrator as its agent to perform all of the

Returns that it determines are required with respect to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign
(and the Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such returns shall
be borne by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.


 


(f)              
The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate
such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of such Class R Certificate to any
Person who is a Disqualified Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders

issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service
on Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the name, title, address and telephone number of the “tax
matters person” and/or “partnership representative” who will serve as the representative of each of the Trust
REMICs created hereunder.


 


(g)              
The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within
the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary
to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator
to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer
shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions,
if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result
in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions”
as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of
the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse
REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking
to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking


 



    -394-


     


    

 


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


 


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

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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(n)               
The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate

EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING AND REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE


 


Section 11.01     Intent
of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of ARTICLE XI of this Agreement
is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor (and any Other Depositor of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion
Loan) with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not
exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good
faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case,
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements
of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to
comply with requests made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes
a Serviced Companion Loan) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations
of


 



    -398-


     


    

 


Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”). In connection
with the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31,
and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, each of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall cooperate fully with
the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, and any Other Depositor, Other Trustee and Other Certificate Administrator of
any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor
or the Certificate Administrator, and any such Other Depositor, Other Trustee or Other Certificate Administrator, as applicable
(including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information
(in its possession or reasonably attainable) necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or such Other
Depositor, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB,
together with such disclosures relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the
Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), reasonably believed by the Depositor or the related
Other Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period
of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance
written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements. For
purposes of this ARTICLE XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause
a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection
with such obligation.


 


Section 11.02     Succession;
Subcontractors. (a)  As a condition to the succession to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or to any Sub-Servicer
(but only if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant and a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2)) as
servicer or sub-servicer or succession to the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which
the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, such Sub Servicer or Certificate Administrator may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which
may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or to any such Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator,
the person removing and replacing the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or Certificate Administrator shall provide to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, at least fifteen (15) calendar days
prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor), (x) written
notice to the Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Depositor, all information relating to such successor reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act
are required to be filed under the Exchange Act); provided, that if disclosing such information prior to such effective
date would violate any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Additional
Servicer or


 



    -399-


     


    

 


the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall submit such disclosure to the Depositor no later than the
first Business Day after the effective date of such succession or appointment.


 


(b)               
Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate
Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator
and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one
or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant,
such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller (and, subject to the reimbursement
of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15, any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related
to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory
to the Depositor, such Mortgage Loan Seller or such Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator or Other Depositor, as applicable)
of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor
and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such
Subcontractor. As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant,
such Servicer shall (i) with respect to any such Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other subcontractor with which it has entered into
a servicing relationship, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee (and,
subject to the reimbursement of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15, any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator
and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) to comply with the provisions
of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer.
With respect to any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, such Servicer shall
be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant
engaged by such Servicer, such Servicer shall obtain from each such Servicing Function Participant and deliver to the applicable
Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor
under Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, in each case, as and when required to be delivered. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.


 


(c)               
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor, other than an Initial Sub-Servicer in connection with
the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor
is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any such Subcontractor meets
the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the preceding
sentence, that such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets
the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer
for purposes of this Agreement, the engagement of such Sub-Servicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given to
the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator of any such Sub-Servicer and Sub-Servicing Agreement. Other than with respect to
the Initial Sub-Servicer, no Sub-Servicing


 



    -400-


     


    

 


Agreement shall be effective until fifteen (15) days after such written notice is received
by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor). Such notice shall
contain all information reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report the event
under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed
under the Exchange Act).


 


(d)               
In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may
be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver written
notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly post such notice
to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), in each case at least thirty (30) calendar
days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or if such prior notice is violative of applicable law or any
applicable confidentiality agreement, no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession) and shall furnish
to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor
and the Certificate Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely
report, pursuant to Section 11.07, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such
reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).


 


(e)               
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this ARTICLE XI, in connection with any Sub-Servicer and/or
any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, with respect to all matters related to Regulation AB,
the Master Servicer shall not have any obligation other than to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sub-Servicer
to comply with its obligations under such Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement.


 


(f)                
Any information furnished pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall also be provided, and subject to the reimbursement
of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15, to each Other Depositor and each Other Certificate Administrator (to the
extent the information relates to a party that services, specially services or is trustee for a Serviced Companion Loan) in the
same time frame as set forth in this Section 11.02.


 


Section 11.03     Filing Obligations. (a)  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the
Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection
with the satisfaction of the Trust’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Sections 11.04,
11.05, 11.06 and 11.07 of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare for execution by the
Depositor any Forms 8-K, 10-D and 10-K required by the Exchange Act, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the
Certificate Administrator shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”)
System) such Forms executed by the Depositor.


 


Each party hereto
shall be entitled to rely on the information in the Prospectus or this Agreement with respect to the identity of any
“sponsor”, credit enhancer, derivative provider


 



    -401-


     


    

 


or “significant obligor” as of the Closing Date other
than with respect to itself or any information required to be provided by it or indemnified for by it pursuant to any
separate agreement.


 


(b)               
In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion
of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not
delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will
promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Forms 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the Operating Advisor and the Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A or
Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate
Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the
Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that
any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify
the Depositor, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare
any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K,
Form 10-D or Form 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that
the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.03 related to the timely preparation
and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent
upon the parties observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under Sections 11.03, 11.04,
11.05, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10, 11.11 and 11.15 of this Agreement.
The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any
failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments
to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability
or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting
from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

the Certificate Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant
to this paragraph.


 


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 twelve (12) months (or for such shorter period
that the registrant was required to


 



    -407-

ninety (90) days.” The Depositor hereby represents to the Certificate Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such

(90) days. The Depositor shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing, no later than March 1st with respect to the filing
of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to the questions should be “no.” The Certificate Administrator shall be
entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report.


 


(b)               
After preparing the Form 10-K, the Certificate Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K
to the Depositor for review no later than six (6) Business Days prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline. Within three (3) Business Days
after receipt of such copy, but no later than March 25th, the Depositor shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing (which
may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K and the senior officer in charge of securitization

set forth in Section 11.03(b). Promptly after filing with the Commission, the Certificate Administrator will make available
on its Internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Certificate Administrator. The signing party
at the Depositor can be contacted at c/o Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, One Bryant Park, New York, New

Corporation, 214 North Tryon Street, 20th Floor, NC1-027-20-05, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.05 related
to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon the parties to this Agreement (and any Additional Servicer
or Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized, as applicable, by any such parties) observing all applicable deadlines in
the performance of their duties under this Section 11.05. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have
any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for
execution and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s failure
to receive, on a timely basis, any information from the parties to this Agreement (or any Sub-Servicer or Servicing Function Participant
engaged by any such parties) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.


 


(c)               
Upon written request from any Mortgage Loan Seller, Other Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator shall confirm to such Mortgage Loan Seller, Other Depositor, Master Servicer or Special Servicer whether it has received
notice that any party to this Agreement has changed since the Closing Date and will provide to such Mortgage Loan Seller or Other
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, if known to the Certificate Administrator, the identity of the new party.


 


(d)              
Any notice and/or information furnished pursuant to this Section 11.05 shall also be provided, and subject to the
reimbursement of any applicable expenses under


 



    -408-


     


    

 


Section 11.15, to each Other Depositor and each Other Certificate Administrator
(to the extent the notice and/or information relates to a Serviced Companion Loan or a party that services, specially services
or is trustee or custodian for a Serviced Companion Loan) in the same time frame as set forth in this Section 11.05.


 


Section 11.06     Sarbanes-Oxley Certification. Each Form 10-K shall include a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification in the form attached
as Exhibit Y required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. For so long as the Trust or the
trust for any Other Securitization is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Operating Advisor shall provide, and (i) with
respect to each Initial Sub-Servicer engaged by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that is a Servicing
Function Participant use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Initial Sub-Servicer to provide, and (ii) with respect
to each other Servicing Function Participant with which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Custodian or the Operating Advisor has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans,
shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide, to each Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification for the Trust
or, subject to the reimbursement of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15, any Other Securitization that includes
a Serviced Companion Loan (individually and collectively, the “Certifying Person”), on or before March 1st
of each year commencing in March 2017, a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibits Z-1, Z-2,
Z-3, Z-4, Z-5, Z-6 or Z-7 (each, a “Performance Certification”), as applicable,
on which each Certifying Person, the entity for which such Certifying Person acts as an officer (if the Certifying Person is an
individual), and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification
Parties”) can reasonably rely. In addition, in the event that any Serviced Companion Loan is deposited into a commercial
mortgage securitization (an “Other Securitization”) and the Reporting Servicer is provided with timely and complete
contact information for the parties to such Other Securitization, each Reporting Servicer, upon not less than thirty (30) days
prior written request, shall provide to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification with respect to such Other Securitization
a certification in form and substance similar to applicable Performance Certification (which shall address the matters contained
in the applicable Performance Certification, but solely with respect to the related Companion Loan) on which such Person, the entity
for which the Person acts as an officer (if the Person is an individual), and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates
can reasonably rely. With respect to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan, the Certificate Administrator will use its reasonable efforts
to procure a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced
Trustee in form and substance similar to a Performance Certification. The senior officer in charge of securitization for the Depositor
shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. In addition, each Reporting Servicer shall execute a reasonable reliance
certificate (which may be included as part of such other certifications being delivered by such Reporting Servicer) to enable the
Certification Parties to rely upon each (i) annual compliance statement provided pursuant to Section 11.09, if applicable,
(ii) annual report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria provided pursuant to Section 11.10 and (iii) accountant’s
report provided pursuant to Section 11.11, and shall include a certification that each such annual compliance statement
or report discloses any deficiencies or defaults described to the registered public accountants of such Reporting Servicer


 



    -409-


     


    

 


to enable
such accountants to render the certificates provided for in Section 11.11. In the event 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 certification to each affected Certifying Person pursuant to this Section
11.06 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. Each such Performance Certification shall be provided in EDGAR-Compatible Format, or in such other
format agreed upon by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and such providing parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in this Section 11.06 shall require any Reporting Servicer (i) to certify or verify the accurateness or completeness
of any information provided to such Reporting Servicer by third parties (including a “significant obligor”, but other
than an Additional Servicer or a Sub-Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 3.20), (ii) to certify information other
than to such Reporting Servicer’s knowledge and in accordance with such Reporting Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder
or (iii) with respect to completeness of information and reports, to certify anything other than that all fields of information
called for in written reports prepared by such Reporting Servicer have been completed except as they have been left blank on their
face.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 11.06, with respect to each year in which the Trust and the trust for each Other
Securitization is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, none of the parties required to deliver any certification
under this Section 11.06 shall be obligated to do so.

administrator or master servicer as a result of any failure by the Servicing Function Participant to comply with the reporting
requirements to the extent applicable set forth under Sections 11.15(b), (c), (d) or (e) above.


 


Any sub-servicing agreement
related to a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan shall contain a provision requiring the related Sub-Servicer to provide to the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, information, reports, statements and certificates with respect to itself and
such Serviced Securitized Companion Loan comparable to any information, reports, statements or certificates required to be provided
by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 11.15, even if such Sub-Servicer is not otherwise required
to provide such information, reports or certificates to any Person in order to comply with Regulation AB. Such information, reports

Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver its comparable information,
reports, statements or certificates pursuant to this Section 11.15.


 


(g)              
There is no “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) related to
the Trust. With respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that the applicable Other Depositor
has notified the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning
of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) (together with notification of the relevant Distribution Date) with respect to an Other
Securitization that includes such Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
is in receipt of the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar quarter (other than
the fourth calendar quarter of any calendar year) from the Mortgagor, beginning with the first calendar quarter following receipt
of such notice from the Other Depositor, or the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any
calendar year, beginning for the calendar year following such notice from the Other Depositor, as applicable, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Other Depositor, on or prior to the day that occurs two (2) Business
Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seven (7) Business Days prior to the related Significant
Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, (A) if such financial statement receipt occurs twelve (12) or more Business
Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seventeen (17) or more Business Days prior to the
related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, the financial statements of such “significant obligor”,
together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor” for the applicable period as calculated by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with CREFC® guidelines and (B) if such financial statement
receipt occurs less than twelve (12) Business Day prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or less
than seventeen (17) Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial
statements of the “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such “significant obligor”
for the applicable period as reported by the related Mortgagor in such financial statements.


 


If the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, does not receive such financial information satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of
Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, of such “significant obligor” within
ten (10) Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan documents,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization
that includes the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into
after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor
to require the related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received such financial information. The Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account,
in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial
statements required to be delivered by the related Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

The Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt
of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the
related Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the related
Mortgagor related to any such “significant obligor” (identified to it as such by the Other Depositor in accordance
with the second preceding paragraph) to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business
Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed with respect to the Other Securitization,
shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the Other Exchange Act Reporting
Party and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate
administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


(h)              
If any Other Securitization includes a Serviced Companion Loan and is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act, then the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in this ARTICLE XI with respect such Other Securitization shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the Trust may cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act.

Impact of Cure Period. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be
subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof prior to the expiration
of the grace period applicable to such party’s obligations under this ARTICLE XI as provided for in such clause (iii)
nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, during any grace period provided for in this ARTICLE
XI; provided that if any such party fails to comply with the delivery requirements of this ARTICLE XI by the
expiration of any applicable grace period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event. Neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition
thereof prior to the expiration of the grace period applicable to such party’s obligations under this ARTICLE XI as
provided for in such clause (iii) nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement,

Asset Review.


 


(a)               
On or prior to each Distribution Date, based either on the CREFC® Delinquent Loan Status Report and/or the
CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the


 






    -426-


     


    

 


Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator
shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate
Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required
to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this ARTICLE XII shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator
by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository
in the case of Book-Entry Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Distribution Report in the Form 10-D
relating to the reporting period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred the following statement describing the events that
caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following Mortgage Loans identified below
are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.”.
On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on
information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine whether (1) any
additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) whether
an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in
clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) in the
form of Exhibit SS within two (2) Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor
and the Asset Representations Reviewer.


 


If Certificateholders
evidencing not less than 5% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after
the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence
an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide
written notice thereof to all Certificateholders and the Asset Representations Reviewer and conduct a solicitation of votes in
accordance with Section 5.10 to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Holders
of Certificates evidencing at least (i) a majority of those Certificateholders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of an Asset Review
Quorum within 150 days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”),
the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters,
the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder and the other Certificateholders (the “Asset Review Notice”).
Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing
the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit RR (which shall
be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s
Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any case within two (2) Business
Days after such receipt) grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset
Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder
may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any
Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent

Loan after the expiration of such
150-day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect,
(C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received any Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described
in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150
days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset
Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election
except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator
in connection with administering such vote shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, that if the related
Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within 90 days of being invoiced by the Asset Representations Reviewer,
such amount shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided,
further, that notwithstanding any payment of such amount by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such amount
shall remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer shall pursue remedies against such Mortgage
Loan Seller in accordance with the Servicing Standard in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.


 


(b)              
(i) Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) - (5) below for
all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the
Special Servicer (with respect to clause (6) for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s
possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days (except with respect to clause (6)) after receipt
of such notice from the Certificate Administrator, provide the following materials to the extent in their possession to the Asset
Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):


 


     (1)       a
copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that
is subject to an Asset Review;


 


     (2)       a
copy of an assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the
Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;


 


     (3)       a
copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not
already covered pursuant to items (1) or (2) above;


 






    -428-


     


    

 


     (4)       a
copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent
Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;


 


     (5)       a
copy of an assignment in favor of the Trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related
to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review; and


 


     (6)       any
other related documents that are reasonably requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be delivered by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in the time frames and as otherwise described pursuant to clause (ii) hereof.


 


(ii)           If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review
Materials for such Mortgage Loan that was entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage
Loan that is necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly,
but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials identified in clauses (1) - (5)
above, notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially
Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer,
deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents to the extent in its possession. In the event any missing
documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, within such ten (10) Business Day period,
the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The related Mortgage Loan
Seller shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such additional documents only to the extent
in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller (and, if such documents are not in its possession, solely with respect to any Mortgage
Loan sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required
to make a request under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA for any such documents that are not in its possession). In the event any
missing documents with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are not provided by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Asset
Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the extent that the
Asset Representations Reviewer is entitled to request such documents under such Non-Serviced PSA.


 


(iii)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it
by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information
can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and is determined
by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review


 






    -429-


     


    

 


conducted pursuant
to this Section 12.01 (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”).


 


(iv)          Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File posted to
the Secure Data Room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall
commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent
Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with
respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance
with the procedures set forth on Exhibit QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”). Once an Asset Review of
a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding
that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review
Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.


 


(v)           No Certificateholder shall have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer
shall not be required to review any information other than (1) the Review Materials and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited
Information.


 


(vi)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without
independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively
rely on such Review Materials.


 


(vii)         The Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within forty-five
(45) Business Days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided. In the event that the Asset Representations
Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered
to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced
Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) within ten (10) Business Days following the request by
the Asset Representations Reviewer, as described in Section 12.01(b)(ii), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list
such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the
reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded)
that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide
such preliminary report to the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect
to all Mortgage Loans) and to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations
and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall


 






    -430-


     


    

 


have ninety (90) days (the “Cure/Contest
Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents provided or explanations given to support a Test pass
conclusion or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be promptly delivered
by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer
shall not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is
no Test failure with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.


 


(viii)        The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within the later of (x) sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the
Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or (y) within the ten (10)
days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period, complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver
(i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined
there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s
findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”)
to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Directing Certificateholder
and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset
Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.
The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty
(30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations
Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the
Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine
whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be the responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section
2.03(f) of this Agreement.


 


(ix)           In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from
the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans)
or the related Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review
and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the
documentation received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations
Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to this Agreement or otherwise.


 


(x)            Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer
shall determine, based on the


 






    -431-


     


    

 


Servicing Standard, whether there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If
the Special Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Special Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related
Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(b).


 


(c)               
The Asset Representations Reviewer and its affiliates shall keep confidential any “Privileged Information” received
from any party to this Agreement or any Sponsor (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans)
and not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly
required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating
that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this
Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information
is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the
Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.


 


In addition, the Asset
Representations Reviewer shall keep all documents and information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection
with an Asset Review that are provided by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer confidential
and shall not disclose such documents or information except (i) for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations
pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) if such documents or information become generally available and known to the public other
than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Asset Representations Reviewer, (iii) if it is reasonable and
necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer to disclose such documents or information in working with legal counsel, auditors,
taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (iv) if any such document or information was already known to the Asset
Representations Reviewer and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (v) if the Asset Representations
Reviewer is required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to disclose such document or information.


 


(d)              
The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements
or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided
that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the
Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or
(ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the
Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in
connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required
hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation
or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents
or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset


 






    -432-


     


    

 


Representations Reviewer alone were
performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement
with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor,
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.


 


Section 12.02   
Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability.


 


(a)               
The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”)
on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid
a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.00052% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”)
and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any
Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.


 


(b)              
As compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the
Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset Review (for purposes of this definition, “Subject
Loans”), upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger, the Asset Representations
Reviewer shall be paid a fee equal to the sum of: (i) $15,000 multiplied by the number of Subject Loans, plus (ii) $1,500 per Mortgaged
Property relating to the Subject Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $2,000 per Mortgaged Property
relating to a Subject Loan subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,000 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject
to a franchise agreement, hotel management agreement or hotel license agreement, subject, in the case of each of clauses (i) through
(iv), to adjustments on the basis of the year-end Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, or other similar index if the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers is no longer calculated, taking into account the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers,
or other similar index if the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers is no longer calculated, for the year of the Closing
Date and for the year of the occurrence of the Asset Review (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”).
The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be paid by the related Mortgage
Loan Seller; provided, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90)
days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust Fund following delivery by the
Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Special Servicer of such insolvency or failure to pay
such amount; provided, that a statement of non-payment by the Asset Representations Reviewer ninety (90) days after an itemized
invoice is delivered by registered mail to the address listed in this Agreement for the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such
other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notice in accordance with this Agreement, together
with evidence of delivery or attempted delivery of such invoice and reasonable follow up by phone or email, shall constitute satisfactory
evidence delivered by the Asset Representations Reviewer of such failure to pay such amount; and provided, further,
that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the


 






    -433-


     


    

 


Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether
it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to pursue and, if it so determines, pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan
Seller in accordance with the Servicing Standard in order to seek recovery of any such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


(c)               
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall
be included in the Purchase Price or Loss of Value Payment for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review
that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price or Loss of Value Payment received shall be
used to reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust, as the case may be, for such fees pursuant to Section 12.02(b).


 


(d)              
The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
imposed by this Agreement.


 


Section 12.03   
Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged
from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency.
Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible
Asset Representations Reviewer. If no successor asset representations reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible
Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each party hereto
and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation.


 


Section 12.04   
Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates
shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless
principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by
an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and

gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access
to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.


 


Section 12.05

shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court
or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:


 






    -434-


     


    

 


(i)               
any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or
agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue
unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee
by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates, provided,
if such failure is capable of being cured and the Asset Representations Reviewer is diligently pursuing such cure, such thirty
(30) day period will be extended an additional thirty (30) days;


 


(ii)               
any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Asset Review
Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this
Agreement;


 


(iii)              
any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall
continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Upon receipt by the Certificate
Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator
shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders (which shall be simultaneously delivered to the Asset Representations
Reviewer) in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator
has received


 






    -435-


     


    

 


written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations
Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination
Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts),
shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights
and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this
Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing
to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses
of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer
Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination
Event of which it becomes aware.


 


(b)              
Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without
regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations
Reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment
by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator
in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the
Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing
such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Asset Representations
Reviewer. Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing more than 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without
regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date
of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by notice
in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer and appoint the proposed successor. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer,
on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to
vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that holders of the
Certificates entitled to at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal
Reduction Amounts) elect to remove the Asset Representations Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset
representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.


 


(c)               
On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section
12.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset
Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all


 






    -436-


     


    

 


other acts or things
reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event
later than 30 days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement
or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint
a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written
notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor,
the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.


 


The Asset Representations
Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and if the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be
an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder of such disqualification
and immediately resign under Section 12.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations
reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to
find a successor asset representations reviewer within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer,
the Depositor shall be permitted, but not obligated to, to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure
to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts
to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.


 


(d)              
Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer,
the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor, the
Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such
termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification
rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests
constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

(i)               
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to
be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed
to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or


 


(ii)               
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment

agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be


 






    -439-

with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the
consent of the holder of any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


(c)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment hereto

hereunder and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person

form of any proposed 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 Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Certificate Administrator may prescribe.


 


(f)

amendment entered into hereunder shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, except that if the Master Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee requests any amendment of this Agreement in furtherance of the


 






    -440-


     


    

 


rights and interests
of Certificateholders, the cost of any Opinion of Counsel required in connection therewith pursuant to Section 13.01(a)

agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied
with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).


 


(i)                
To the extent the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Asset
Representations Reviewer or Depositor obtains an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 13.01(c) in connection with

into such amendment for purposes of availing itself of any indemnity provided to such party under this Agreement.


 


(j)                
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to
this Section 13.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled
to the same Voting Rights with respect to matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates, so

(k)              
This Agreement may not be amended without the consent of any holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan if such amendment

beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

expense.

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. (a)  The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall

(b)              
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control
the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained
in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the
parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.


 


(c)

Agreement, such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice of default,
and of the continuance thereof, as herein before provided, or of the need to institute such suit, action or proceeding on behalf
of the Trust and unless also (except in the case of a default by the Trustee) the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing

for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute
any such action, suit or proceeding. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in
it hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction

prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference

Agreement or the Certificates, except in the manner

Period relating to such Distribution Date at the applicable Pass-Through Rate specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
on the [Certificate Balance][Notional Amount] of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.


 


Interest [FOR PRINCIPAL
BALANCE CERTIFICATES (CLASS A-1, CLASS A-2, CLASS A-SB, CLASS A-3, CLASS A-4, CLASS A-5, CLASS A-S, CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS D,
CLASS E, CLASS F AND CLASS G): and principal] allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal

set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and
the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the


 



    A-1-7 


     


    

 


benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator
(with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be
paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders,
such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust.


 


All distributions under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution
on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor
in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring
instructions no less than (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution
on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to
this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of
the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable
in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate
Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the


 




    A-1-8 


     


    

 


Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s
attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


Subject to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class [__] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of
DTC in minimum denominations of $[FOR CLASS A-1, CLASS A-2, CLASS A-SB, CLASS A-3, CLASS A-4, CLASS A-5, CLASS A-S, CLASS B, CLASS

and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal
to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No fee or service charge
shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate
(other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any
transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of
the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or
transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate
Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement 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 Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate
Percentage Interests constituting the Class.  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.


 


The Holders of the majority
of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of
priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies
in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated
by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01





 



    A-1-9 


     


    

 


in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee,
The Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior
to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion
of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Following the date on
which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates
are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding
Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates
(other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created
by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator
to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction
of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from
a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one (21)
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


Unless the certificate
of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this
Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation
or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR AND THE TRUSTEE TO THE EFFECT THAT, AMONG OTHER THINGS, (A) IT IS NOT A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION,

BANC OF AMERICA MERRILL LYNCH COMMERCIAL
MORTGAGE INC.


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT [____________________]
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”),
between Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term
includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate is one
of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called
the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal
to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof,
by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class R Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the Morgan Stanley
Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31 and are issued in
the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100%
of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect
to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder
is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This Class R Certificate
represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are
defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate,
by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this


 



    A-3-5


     


    

 


Certificate in accordance with
the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed
on or measured by income. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the “tax matters
person” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and “partnership representative” within the meaning
of Section 6223 of the Code (to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs) for each Trust REMIC. The Certificate
Administrator is hereby irrevocably designated and shall serve as attorney-in-fact and agent for any such Person that is the “tax
matters person” and/or “partnership representative.”


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator
in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate)
and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the subject Distribution
Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this Certificate
are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and
the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with
respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may
be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid
to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders,
such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.


 


All distributions under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution
on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor
in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring
instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution
on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to
this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of
the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 



    A-3-6


     


    

 


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


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable
in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate
Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s
attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


Each Person who has or
who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership
Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar person)
(an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person,
an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate
shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified
Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions
of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them; (C) notwithstanding the delivery of a
Transferee Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Certificate Registrar has actual


 



    A-3-7


     


    

 


knowledge that the
proposed Transferee is a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax
Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected; and (D) each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transferee Affidavit from
any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2)
not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a letter substantially
in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-2 (a “Transferor Letter”) certifying
that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed Transferee’s statements in such
Transferee Affidavit are false.


 


The Class R Certificates
will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 5% and integral multiples of 1% in excess
thereof.


 


No fee or service charge
shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate
(other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificate Registrar
may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer or exchange.


 


The Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement 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 Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate
Percentage Interests constituting the Class.  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.


 


The Holders of the majority
of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of
priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies
in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated
by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee,
The Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior
to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may 


 






    A-3-8


     


    

 


so elect to purchase
all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the
first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans
held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


Following the date on
which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates
are no longer outstanding (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding
Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates
(other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The obligations created
by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator
to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction
of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from
a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James,
living on the date hereof.


 


Unless the certificate
of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this
Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation
or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.


 


THIS CERTIFICATE AND
THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER RELATED HERETO OR THERETO,
THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS
AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL
LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF.  THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS CERTIFICATE AND TO THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT.

knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk
of the Purchaser’s or such account’s investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its
own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser
exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection
with this transfer.


 


		☐	The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) within
the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided
pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.



 


2.          The
Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for
reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer (i) to QIBs in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view
to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate)
to Institutional Accredited Investors, subject in the case of clause (ii) above to (w) the receipt by the Certificate
Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (x) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel
acceptable to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities
Act, (y) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such
reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and (z) a written undertaking
to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. The Purchaser understands that the
Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption
from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s
investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificate only to certain investors in certain exempted
transactions) as expressed herein.


 


3.          The
Purchaser has reviewed the Prospectus (and, with respect to Non-Registered Certificates, the Private Placement Memorandum) and
the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning
the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.


 


4.          The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered
or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Certificate cannot
be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from
such registration or qualification is available.


 


5.          The
Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an
owner of a Certificate or


 






     Exhibit C-2


     


    

 


Certificates,
as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking
is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.


 


6.          The
Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate or Certificates, except in compliance with Section 5.03
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


7.          Check
one of the following:**


 


		☐	The Purchaser is a U.S. Tax Person (as defined below) and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue
Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).



 


		☐	The Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no
taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Registrar (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made on the
Certificate. The Purchaser has attached hereto [(i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor
form, as applicable), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and states that such Purchaser
is not a U.S. Tax Person, (ii) IRS Form W-8IMY (with all appropriate attachments) or (iii)]*** two duly executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and state
that interest and original issue discount on the Certificate and Permitted Investments is, or is expected to be, effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar 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 Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification
expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification
furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.



 


For purposes of this paragraph 7, “U.S.
Tax Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or 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
thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes,
an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax 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 such U.S. 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 U.S. Tax Persons).

one of the two alternative certifications.

Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31 (the “Certificates”)
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling
and Servicing Agreement”), relating to Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31



 





	STATE OF	)	 
	 	)	ss.:
	COUNTY OF	)	 



 


I, [______], under penalties
of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete,
and being first sworn, depose and say that:


 


1.          I
am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”),
on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.


 


2.          The
Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment
conduits (each, a “REMIC”)
designated as the (i)  “Lower-Tier
REMIC” and (ii) “Upper-Tier
REMIC”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).


 


3.          The
Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization”
(as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee
of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization.
For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: of (i) the United States, any State or political
subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an
instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for Freddie Mac, a majority of its
board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit),


 






     Exhibit D-1-1


     


    



 


(ii) a
foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization
which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code
on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect
to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural
electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership,”
as defined in Section 775 of the Code and (vi) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator
based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or
the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause
either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership
Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code
that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person.
The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings
set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.


 


4.          The
Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances,
on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.


 


5.          The
Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is
[__________].


 


6.          No
purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.


 


7.          The
Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base,
within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.


 


8.          Check
the applicable paragraph:


 


☐         The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed
the sum of:


 


(i)         the
present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;


 


(ii)        the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and


 


(iii)       the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related Trust REMIC generates
losses.


 






     Exhibit D-1-2


     


    


 


For purposes of this
calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the
Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b)
of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding
two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present
values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code
for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.


 


☐         The
transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,


 


(i)         the
Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i),
as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;


 


(ii)        at
the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser
had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning
of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;


 


(iii)       the
Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and


 


(iv)       the
Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax
rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.


 


☐         None
of the above.


 


9.          The
Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and
the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.


 


10.        The
Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated
by such Certificate.


 


11.        The
Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless
the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement
in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any
such transfer to any person that does not provide such affidavit or agreement, if it knows or believes that any representation
contained in such affidavit and agreement is false or if it has actual knowledge that such person is not a Permitted Transferee
or


 






     Exhibit D-1-3


     


    

 


is
acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a person that is not a Permitted Transferee.


 


12.        The
Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not
a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a
Permitted Transferee.


 


13.        The
Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.


 


14.        The
Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions
is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.


 


15.        The
Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the agent of the “tax matters person” and
“partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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, 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 Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are
false.


 


(3)        The
Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as
contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor
has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant 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


 






     Exhibit D-2-1

		Re:	Transfer of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2016-C31



 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


The undersigned (the
“Purchaser”) proposes to purchase US$[___] aggregate initial [Certificate Balance][Notional Amount] in the Morgan
Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31, Class [_]
Certificates issued pursuant to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2016 (the “Pooling
and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction. Capitalized terms used and
not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


In connection with such
transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:


 


1.          The
Purchaser is not and will not become (a) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA),
a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) for which no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code, or any
other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar
to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each a “Plan”) or (b) a person acting on behalf of or
using the assets of any such Plan (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section
3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its “insurance company general account” (as such
term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption


 






     Exhibit F-1-1


     


    


 


(“PTCE”)
95-60) under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 (or a Plan subject to Similar
Law purchasing under circumstances that would not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of applicable Similar Law).


 


2.          The
Purchaser understands that if the Purchaser is or becomes a Person referred to in 1(a) or (b) above, such Purchaser is required
to provide to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
and Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser
or transferee will not constitute or result in a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor to any obligation
or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to

other than as a result of a disclosure by you or a NRSRO Representative (as defined in Section 2(c)(i) below) in violation
of this Confidentiality Agreement;


 


was or is lawfully

who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.


 


You will treat the
Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable
Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was
furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:


 






    Exhibit P-2-2 


     


    

 


- disclose
the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents
and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such

such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

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


 


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


 


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


 






    Exhibit P-2-3 


     


    

 


Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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

Loan Schedule attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and heretofore secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule by the following names:____________________
           ____________________



 






    Exhibit U-1 


     

    




Reference is made to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As Servicer under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:


 


(a)Notify you that
the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked
below:


 


____a full defeasance of the
entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or


 


____a partial defeasance of
a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______%
of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;


 


(b) Certify that
each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which
exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect
on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:


 


(i)          The
Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in
all material respects in completing the defeasance.


 


(ii)         The
defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.


 


(iii)        The
defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’
Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance
Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity
cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.


 


(iv)        The
Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard)
that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.


 


(v)         The
Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”)
that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria,
as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational
documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy
remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance
collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.


 






    Exhibit U-2 


     

    





 





(vi)        The
defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria)
in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary
and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.


 


(vii)       The
agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf
of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of
the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified
in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated
loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan documents (the “Scheduled
Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus
defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid
in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate
liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other
assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the
securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.


 


(viii)      The
Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the
Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking
into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after
the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial
defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) the revenues received
in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of
receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will
not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial
defeasance) for such year.


 


(ix)        The
Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The
entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool
balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution
Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).


 


(x)          The
Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first
priority security interest in


 






    Exhibit U-3 


     

    




 


the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable
in accordance with their respective terms.


 


(c)        Certify that Exhibit
B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions
of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.


 


(d)        Certify that
the individual under whose hand the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing
Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.


 


(e)         Agree to provide
copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.


 






    Exhibit U-4 


     

    







 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed as of the date captioned above.

		2.	Consulted with the Special Servicer as provided under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor’s analysis
of the Asset Status Reports (including related net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction calculations) related to
the Specially Serviced Loans should be considered a limited investigation and not be considered a full or limited audit. For instance,
we did not review each page of the Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices),
re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculator, visit any property, visit the Special Servicer, visit
the Directing Certificateholder or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and
Appraisal Reduction calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application
of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the
discretionary portions of such formulas.

Such recommendations generally included the following: [LIST].



 


		3.	Appraisal Reduction calculations and net present value calculations:

of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the utilization
by the special servicer.

non-discretionary portions of the formula] required to be utilized for such calculation.



 


		b.	After consultation with the special servicer 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, such inaccuracy [has been/ has not been] resolved.

IV. Qualifications Related to the Work Product Undertaken
and Opinions Related to this Report


 


		1.	The Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer’s and Directing Certificateholder’s
discussion(s) regarding any Specially Serviced Loan. The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Directing
Certificateholder directly. As such, the Operating Advisor generally relied upon the information delivered to it by the Special

		2.	The Special Servicer has the legal authority and responsibility to service the Specially Serviced Loans pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein.



 


		3.	Confidentiality and other contractual limitations limit the Operating Advisor’s ability to outline the details or substance
of the discussions held between it and the Special Servicer regarding any Specially Serviced Loans and certain information it reviewed
in connection with its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As a result, this report may not reflect all the relevant
information that the Operating Advisor is given access to by the Special Servicer.



 


		4.	There are many tasks that the Special Servicer undertakes on an ongoing basis related to Specially Serviced Loans. These include,
but are not limited to, assumptions, ownership changes, collateral substitutions, capital reserve changes, etc. The Operating Advisor
does not participate in any discussions regarding such actions. As such, Operating Advisor has not assessed the Special Servicer’s
operational compliance with respect to those types of actions.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


Reference is hereby made to that certain
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2016 (the “Pooling
and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction. Defined terms used
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


[Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
(“Wells Fargo”)/Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (“Rialto”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”)
is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing
rights as a Certificateholder. The Company is requesting such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating
any continuing rights the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted
Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential
Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related
mortgage loan documents.


 


[Wells Fargo/Rialto] will provide the Company
with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential
Information”) pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and borrowers. The Company
acknowledges that the Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to [Wells Fargo/Rialto]
by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by [Wells Fargo/Rialto], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies.
The Company agrees that [Wells Fargo/Rialto], the [“Master

Servicer”/“Special Servicer”]
(as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and its respective Representatives (as defined below) shall not have any liability
to the Company or its Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential Information, (y) any
use of the Confidential Information, or (z) [Wells Fargo/Rialto]’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential
Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential
Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession
prior to its receipt from [Wells Fargo/Rialto]; (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar
as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation
to [Wells Fargo/Rialto]; (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information
that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers,
directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that
entity.


 


The Company may have access to the Confidential
Information through (at [Wells Fargo/Rialto]’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from
the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Wells Fargo/Rialto]’s surveillance
group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or
any successor or replacement system (“System”).
[Wells Fargo/Rialto] may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential Information in the event that (a) the Company
or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) [Wells Fargo/Rialto] determines (in its sole discretion) that
such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required pursuant to the terms of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. [Wells Fargo/Rialto] shall cease
to provide the Company with Confidential Information if [Wells Fargo/Rialto] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives
are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Wells Fargo/Rialto] determines that the provision, notice
or access to such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company’s obligations and the restrictions applicable to the protection of the Confidential
Information hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company’s access to the Confidential Information. [Wells Fargo/Rialto]’s
remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.


 


The Company agrees that it will not, and
it shall not permit its Representatives, to disclose the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever to any other person
or entity, other than its Representatives (but only to the extent necessary to accomplish the Permitted Purpose) who have a need
to know the information, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order or any governmental agency or regulator. The Company
acknowledges (i) its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii) that any disclosure of the Confidential
Information by it or its Representatives for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose, in addition to being a breach of this
letter agreement, may constitute a violation of federal and state securities laws. The Company will take reasonable measures to
ensure that each Representative is advised of this letter agreement and agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential.
The Company shall be liable for any breach of this letter agreement by its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may subsequently provide all or any part of such Confidential

Information
to any other person or entity that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein, but only if
such person or entity confirms such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and provided that, prior to the
delivery of such Confidential Information, such persons shall have executed and delivered to the Company an agreement that is
substantially similar in form and substance to this agreement.


 


This letter agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application of conflict of laws principles. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, [Wells Fargo/Rialto] intends at all times to comply with the terms and provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or qualify any of [Wells Fargo/Rialto]’s
rights or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable
Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall
constitute one agreement.


 


This agreement shall terminate with respect
to the information received by the Company one year after the Company receives such information or ceases to be a Certificateholder.
Company agrees that this letter agreement supersedes and replaces and survives any click-through agreement regarding confidentiality
of Confidential Information agreed to in connection with accessing the System whether agreed to in accessing the System before
or after signing this letter agreement.

FORM 10-K DISCLOSURE


 


The
parties identified in the “Party Responsible” column are obligated pursuant to Section 11.05 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to disclose to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator any information described in the corresponding Form 10-K
Item described in the “Item on Form 10-K” column to the extent such party has actual knowledge (and in the case of
net operating income information, financial statements, annual operating statements, budgets and/or rent rolls required to be
provided in connection with 1112(b) below, possession) of such information (other than information as to itself). Each of the
Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (in its capacity as such) shall be entitled
to rely on the accuracy of the Prospectus (other than information with respect to itself that is set forth in or omitted from
the Prospectus), in the absence of specific written notice to the contrary from the Depositor or a Mortgage Loan Seller. Each
of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (in its capacity as such) shall be
entitled to conclusively assume that there is no “significant obligor” other than a party or property identified as
such in the Prospectus and to assume that no other party or property will constitute a “significant obligor” after
the Cut-off Date. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to provide any information for inclusion
in a Form 10-K that relates to any Mortgage Loan for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is not the applicable Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. For this Series 2016-C31 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each of the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (in its capacity as such) shall be entitled to assume
that there is no provider of credit enhancement, liquidity or derivative instruments within the meaning of Items 1114 or 1115
of Regulation AB.

has performed an Asset Review on each Delinquent Loan identified in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
and is hereby issuing the following Asset Review Report.


 


		1.	As
                                         described in the detailed scorecard attached hereto as Exhibit A, we have performed an

Data Room with respect to any Delinquent Loan is missing any documents required to complete an Asset Review of such Delinquent
Loan, ARR shall prepare a list of such missing documents and notify Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans)

as applicable, does not provide such document as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the ARR shall notify the related

    “Certificates”)


 


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 November 1, 2016 (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 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 TT-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 TT-2 to the Pooling and Servicing

    Exhibit TT-2-1 


    	 



    

 


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 3.11 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. 


 


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 


 






    Exhibit TT-2-2 


    	 



    

 


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 3.11 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.
