This
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of October 1, 2021, between Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial
Mortgage Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC,
as General Special Servicer, National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer and as NCB Special Servicer, Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance
LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust (exclusive of the Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as two (2) separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).

 

In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust Designated Portions shall be classified as an “investment trust” under section 301.7701-4(c) of the Treasury Regulations and that the holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, the Class V Certificates and the RR Interest shall be treated as holding undivided beneficial ownership interests in the corresponding Grantor Trust Designated Portion, under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code (such arrangement, the “Grantor Trust”). The Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the Grantor Trust remains classified as a trust and that the holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, the Class V Certificates and the RR Interest continue to be the owners of their Grantor Trust Designated Portions for federal income tax purposes. The Grantor Trust shall not be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.

 

The 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 LA3, Class LASB, Class LA4, Class LA5, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LH and LRR Uncertificated Interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will be the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. 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 foregoing structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on the Upper-Tier Regular Interests, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interests. To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention, the parties identifying such ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto and the parties involved will resolve such ambiguities to accomplish the intended result and will to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel) to accomplish such intention, including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 13.01 of this Agreement.

The Class V Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance or a Notional Amount, bear interest or be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges.

If a Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Trustee or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination shall not be binding on the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that any P&I Advance with respect to a related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise). In making such recoverability determination, the applicable



    -86- 


     


    

Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the applicable Master Servicer, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by a 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer’s, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of a Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer). The



    -87- 


     


    

Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 (or, with respect to residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedules), occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by such Master Servicer, such 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 applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and each Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by the applicable 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 reasonable business judgment, or the applicable Master Servicer or applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the applicable 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 a 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



    -88-

Absent bad faith, the applicable Master Servicer’s, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance has been made or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of a Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, however, that the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the applicable Special Servicer) shall not be binding upon (but may be conclusively relied upon by) the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the applicable Special Servicer shall be binding upon the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the applicable Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 (or, with respect to residential cooperative

properties, maintenance schedules), occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by such Master Servicer, such Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or related Mortgaged Property). The applicable Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the applicable Special Servicer requests that the applicable Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, such Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, that such Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan. The determination as to the recoverability of any servicing advance or property protection advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA.

in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required at its sole cost and expense, to itself,
or to engage a third party to, put each Assignment of Mortgage, each assignment of Assignment of Leases and each assignment of
each UCC Financing Statement (collectively, the “Assignments” and, individually, “Assignment”)
relating to the Mortgage Loans conveyed by it under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in proper form for filing
or recording, as applicable, and to submit such Assignments for filing or recording, as the case may be, in the applicable public
filing or recording office. On the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such
Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b). Except
under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of this Section 2.01(c) and except in the case of a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will itself, or a third party at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense will,
promptly (and in any event within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and the related Mortgage Loan
Seller’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) cause to be submitted
for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing
Statements, as appropriate, each Assignment. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it (or a file copy
thereof in the case of a UCC Assignment) should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following
recording or filing (or to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent who will then be responsible for delivery of the same
to the Custodian or its


 



    -147-


     


    

 

designee).
Any such Assignment received by the Custodian shall be promptly included in the related Mortgage File and be deemed a part thereof,
and any such Assignment received by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent shall be required to be delivered to the Custodian
to be included as part of the related Mortgage File within thirty (30) days after receipt. If any such document or instrument
is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded
or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein,
on or about one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall prepare,
at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller
or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or
filed, as appropriate. If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording
or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue
such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense,
and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense
of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records
of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a
copy of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment
cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the
Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment.
The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the expenses for the preparation of replacement Assignments for any Assignments which,
having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear
of record and must be resubmitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the
Trustee referred to in clause (iii) or (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” or to file any UCC-3
to the Trustee referred to in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” in those jurisdictions where,
in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) acceptable to
the Depositor and the Trustee, such recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related
Mortgage Loan against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the applicable
Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.

 

(d)      All
documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to the Mortgage
Loans (including, in the case of such Mortgage Loan Seller, and except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced
Whole Loan, originals or copies of all financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering
reports, Insurance Policies, certificates, guaranty/indemnity agreements, property inspection reports, escrow analysis, tax bills,
third-party management agreements, asset summary and financial information on the borrower/sponsor and any guarantor, but
in any case excluding the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s internal communications (including such communications between
such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage
Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney-client communications that are privileged communications
or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due

diligence
analyses or data) that (i) are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof and (ii)
are reasonably necessary for the servicing of each such Mortgage Loan, together with copies of all documents in each Mortgage
File, shall be delivered by the Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the applicable Master Servicer within five
(5) Business Days after the Closing Date and shall be held by such Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders (and as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion
Holder; provided, that with respect to the Mortgage File, if any document required to be contained therein is not available on
the date that is five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, such document shall be delivered to the applicable Master Servicer
on or before the date such document is required to be delivered to the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.01(b). Such documents
and records shall be any documents and records (with the exception of any items excluded under the immediately preceding sentence)
that would otherwise be a part of the Servicing File.

 

(e) 
    In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor
shall deliver to the Trustee and the applicable 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 Serviced 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 applicable Master Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer) for deposit into Servicing Accounts.

 

(g) 
    [Reserved]

 

(h)      Each
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall provide that within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered the Diligence Files for each of its Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence
Files to the Designated Site. Promptly upon completion of such delivery of the Diligence Files (but in no event later than sixty
(60) days after the Closing Date), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide the Depositor a certificate (with a copy
(which may be sent by e-mail) to each of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Custodian, the Directing Certificateholder, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor) certifying
that the electronic copies of the documents and information uploaded to the Designated Site constitute all documents and information
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 the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (the “Diligence
File Certification”).

 

(i)        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable
Mortgage Loan Sellers to deliver a Mortgage Note (and any related allonge or assignment) to the Custodian shall be limited 

 



    -149-


     


    

 

to
delivery of only the Mortgage Note (and any related allonge or assignment) held by such party to the Custodian. With respect to
a Joint Mortgage Loan that is serviced under this Agreement, the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to deliver
the remaining portion of the related Mortgage File or any document required to be delivered with respect thereto shall be joint
and several, provided that either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one Mortgage File or one of any other document
required to be delivered with respect to such Mortgage Loan hereunder and such delivery shall satisfy such delivery requirements
for each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers.

 

(j)       Within
five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver in EDGAR-Compatible Format and Excel format to each Master
Servicer via email to ssreports@wellsfargo.com (in the case of the General Master Servicer) and investorreporting@ncb.coop
(in the case of the NCB Master Servicer) the Initial Schedule AL File covering all of the Mortgage Loans (in the case of the General
Master Servicer) or the NCB Mortgage Loans (in the case of the NCB Master Servicer), the Initial Schedule AL Additional File covering
all of the Mortgage Loans (in the case of the General Master Servicer) or the NCB Mortgage Loans (in the case of the NCB Master
Servicer) and the Annex A-1 to the Prospectus.

 

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

 


    -150-


     


    

 

clause
(c) is exercised, required to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian photocopies of any instruments of assignment so completed
and recorded, and (e) entitled to require the applicable Master Servicer to transfer, and to cooperate with all reasonable requests
in connection with the transfer of, the Servicing File, and any Escrow Payments, reserve funds and items specified in clauses
(x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” for the Servicing Shift Whole Loan to the related Non-Serviced
Master Servicer.

 

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

 

(b)       Within
sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days after the
Due Date in the month of substitution), the Custodian, shall review the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or caused to be delivered
by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files; and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than
sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to
the Depositor, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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 with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class), the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller
(as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full)) that, except as specifically
identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) subject
to the first proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01, all documents specified
in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of
the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or
caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear
to be executed and to relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents,
the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (vii) and (viii)
in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct. With respect to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Custodial
Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan together with the nature of such exception (in
the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items


 






    -151-


     


    

 

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

 

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

 

(d)      Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Material Defect in
any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) in the definition
of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from
the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related
Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing
Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder
or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only prior to the occurrence
and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the applicable Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu
of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the applicable Master Servicer an amount, to be
held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the applicable Master
Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall
be held by the applicable Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies such Master Servicer
that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time such
Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied
to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d)
in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two (2) immediately preceding
sentences, if the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator
and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable


 






    -152-


     


    

 

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

 

(e)       It
is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any
of the documents specified in clauses (vi), (vii) and (xii) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage
File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person or (ii) to inspect,
review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to
it to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of
a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face
and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (viii) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether
the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file
or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage
Loan funding. Further, with respect to the UCC Financing Statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to
the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise,
the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section
2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one (1) state level UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property
(or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two (2) or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors
are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing), or if the Custodian has received notice that a particular UCC
Financing Statement was filed as a fixture filing, that the related Mortgage File should include


 



    -153-


     


    

 

only
a local UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two (2) or more
Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement
filing). The assignments of the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trust will be delivered on the national forms (or
on such other form as may be acceptable for filing or recording in the applicable jurisdiction) and in a format suitable for filing
or recording, as applicable, and will be filed or recorded in the jurisdiction(s) where such UCC Financing Statements were originally
filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.

 

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

 

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

 

Each
15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is received
by the Repurchase Request Recipient or the date any withdrawal of the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase
Request Recipient, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request (as asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase
Request), (iv) the identity of the Person making such 15Ga-1


 



    -154-


     


    

 

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, any 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 applicable Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced
Loan, or to the applicable Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following
statement in the related correspondence: “This is a ‘15Ga-1 Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to BANK 2021-BNK36, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK36
requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase
Request by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be
the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures
set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue
of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection
with its review of the Mortgage File.

 

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

 

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

(h)       The
parties hereto acknowledge the obligation of each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 2(c) 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) originals of limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F thereto in favor of the Custodian
(on behalf of the Trustee) and the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer, to sign and/or
deliver to a third party for submission, or to cause the Custodian to sign and/or deliver to a third party for submission, at
the expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as described in Section
2.01 of this Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included
in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its
behalf)); provided, that if the Mortgage Loan Seller fails to promptly pay the applicable Special Servicer or Custodian
the expenses associated with recording documents as provided in this sentence, then such expenses shall be payable out of the
Trust (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will nonetheless remain responsible
for reimbursing the Trust for such expenses). Neither the applicable Special Servicer nor the Custodian shall be liable for any
failure of such third party in connection with the foregoing, so long as the third party was chosen with due care (in the case
of the Custodian) or in accordance with the Servicing Standard (in the case of the applicable Special Servicer). Each Mortgage
Loan Seller has agreed to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the applicable Special Servicer in connection
with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation.
The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization
by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect
to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the
delivery of notice of such absence to the Mortgage Loan Seller, but in no event earlier than eighteen (18) months from the Closing
Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The Custodian or the applicable
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 applicable 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.

later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s
receipt of such notice of such Repurchase Request or, if earlier, such Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such Material
Defect or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that
causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) discovery by the related Mortgage Loan
Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect and (y) receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party
to this Agreement (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in
all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional
expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan


 



    -157-


     


    

 

or
successor REO Loan (but excluding any related Companion Loan) (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage
Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof), at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole
Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event
shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the applicable Master Servicer
for deposit into the applicable Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity
with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect
to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the
actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage
File” by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being
cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently
proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have
an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90)
day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related
Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan (but excluding any related Companion Loan) (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with
respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted)); provided, further, that with respect
to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information
Provider), the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage
Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling
Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth
the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates
that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period; and provided, further, that, if any such
Material Defect is not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the
related Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue
to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after
the Closing Date for so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable
Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event)
and the Certificate Administrator no less than every ninety (90) days, beginning at the end of such Extended Cure Period, that
such Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage
Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a
defective Mortgage Loan


 






    -158-


     


    

 

to
be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein,
and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period)
such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding
sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into the applicable Collection
Account. In the event the Special Servicer is required to enforce the Repurchase Request related to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan
under this Section 2.03(b), within five (5) days of request by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver
to the Special Servicer a copy of the Servicing File with respect to any such Non-Specially Serviced Loan.

 

If
a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage
Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing
Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and in respect
of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority
of the Controlling Class, in either case, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of
the Controlling Class, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”)
with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve
Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement. In connection with any Loss of Value Payment with
respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide the applicable Special Servicer,
but in any event within the time frames and in the manner provided in Section 3.19 (as if such Mortgage Loan were subject
to a Servicing Transfer Event), with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records relating to such Non-Specially
Serviced Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the applicable Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise
reasonably available to the applicable Master Servicer, and reasonably required by the applicable Special Servicer to permit the
applicable 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 applicable 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 (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) and not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If such Loss
of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the
Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise
cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances.
This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the
Enforcing Servicer on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this
paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material
Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding
this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) such
Mortgage Loan), (ii) such


 



    -159-


     


    

 

Loss
of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a
result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be
treated as a qualified mortgage) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

 

If
any Breach that constitutes a Material Defect pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents
or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular
action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable
cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the
reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed
by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations
Reviewer to the extent not previously paid by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to
the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided that if the Breach relates to a Joint Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan
Seller shall only be responsible for its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of all such costs and expenses unless such Breach
relates solely to the Mortgage Note sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses to the Enforcing Servicer for disbursement
to the applicable Persons and, upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured
such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller
are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller
equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller.
Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the
month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related
Cut-off Date and received by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior
to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments
due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund
and are to be remitted by such Master Servicer (or by such Special Servicer to the applicable Master Servicer who shall remit
such funds) to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, a delay in either the discovery
of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation
to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if (i) the related
Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the
failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required
by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan


 



    -160-


     


    

 

Purchase
Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to
exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report or possession of the Mortgage File) (iii) such delay precludes such Mortgage
Loan Seller from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable and (iv) such Material Defect does
not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3),
but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated
as a qualified mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in
whole or in part, a hotel or other hospitality property, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home,
assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver
copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

 

Pursuant
to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with
respect to a Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan (or, in the
case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) if (i) the affected Mortgaged
Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such
Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth
in the Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release
in lieu of repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax
upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(c)       Subject
to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject
to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following shall cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed
to have a Material Defect: (i) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File
contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (ii)
the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included
in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate
from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (iii) the absence from
the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”; (iv) the absence
from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon
or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening
assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (v) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter
of credit; or (vi) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or
an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects previously
described in sub-clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and
adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee
or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is


 



    -161-


     


    

 

required
in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending
any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority
of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation; provided,
further, that no Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in sub-clauses (ii) through
(vi) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan,
the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage
Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect
exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable,
of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the
related Non-Serviced PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment
to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”
herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect
with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following
the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document
delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has
acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan
Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document
is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5(a)
of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such
loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01.

 

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

 

(e)      Section
5 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and the provisions of this Section 2.03 provide the sole remedy available
to the Certificateholders (subject 

 


    -162-


     


    

 

to
the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, with respect to any Material Defect.

 

(f)      The
Enforcing Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests),
enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in the best interest of the Certificateholders
in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any costs incurred by an applicable Master Servicer or applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses
or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein
out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at
the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second
are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on
deposit in the related Collection Account. Any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees related to a repurchase of a Companion
Loan shall be paid pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or pursuant to the documents related to an Other Securitization,
if applicable.

 

(g)      If
a Mortgage Loan Seller incurs any expense in connection with the curing of a Breach that constitutes a Material Defect, which
also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage Loan and is reimbursable thereunder, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have
a right, and shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and the Trust under the Mortgage Loan to recover the amount of such
expenses from the related Mortgagor; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights pursuant to
this Section 2.03(g) shall be junior, subject and subordinate to the rights of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Trust, each applicable Master Servicer and each applicable 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 each applicable Master Servicer or each applicable Special
Servicer, and unpaid or unreimbursed expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, each applicable Master
Servicer or each applicable Special Servicer allocable to such Mortgage Loan. The Enforcing Servicer shall use reasonable efforts
to recover such expenses for such Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, but taking into account
the subordinate nature of the reimbursement to the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that the Enforcing
Servicer determines in the exercise of its sole discretion consistent with the Servicing Standard that such actions by it will
not impair the Enforcing Servicer’s collection or recovery of principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be payable to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further,
that such Special Servicer may waive the collection of amounts due on behalf of such Mortgage Loan Seller in its sole discretion
in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(h)       If
(i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this Section 2.03
and (ii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the
related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to
constitute a Material Defect as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of
this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Underlying Loan(s)
in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in Section 2.03(b) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy
the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage
Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase
or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan(s) as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase
or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. Any reserve or other cash collateral
or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated among the related Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance
with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal
Balances. Except as provided in this Section 2.03(h) and Section 2.03(i), all other terms of the related Mortgage
Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.

 

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

 

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

forbear
from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified
in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result
of the exercise of remedies.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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


 


    -165-


     


    

 

by
posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course
of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (a “Proposed Course of Action”).
The Proposed Course of Action Notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent
from such Proposed Course of Action by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of
Action on such notice within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such
thirty (30)-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that in the event any Certificateholder disagrees
with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances
where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) shall be compelled to follow the course of action agreed to and/or
proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration,
as the case may be, (c) a statement that responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection
with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such
Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for responding Certificateholders to send their
responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall, within three (3) Business
Days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share
the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received that clearly
indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall
not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with
the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from Certificateholders
regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection
with this Section 2.03(l) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder responses of “agree” or “disagree”
to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation shall not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate
Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation
of the responses of the responding Certificateholders. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect
to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller
with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration,
or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other
Certificateholder (other than the holder of the RR Interest) or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method
selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election
Notice”) within thirty (30) days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter
to either mediation or arbitration. In the event any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner entitled to do so delivers a Preliminary
Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate
Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed 

 


    -166-


     


    

 

Course
of Action, such responses will be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting the Proposed Course of
Action.

 

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

 

(iii) 
      Promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution
Election Notice from (a) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder (other than of the
RR Interest) or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (a) and (b), a “Requesting Certificateholder”),
the Enforcing Servicer shall consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s
intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect
to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder
may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution
methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution
Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be
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 more than one Requesting Certificateholder timely deliver a
Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders shall collectively become the Enforcing Party,
and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders shall be entitled to make
all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or
mediation pursuant to the terms of 

 


    -167-


     


    

 

this
Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then
(A) 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, (B) if the Proposed Course of Action
Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related
Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;
provided, however, that such Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect to a Requesting Certificateholder,
any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts
and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website, and (C) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under
clause (B), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party entitled
to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(i) 
     The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by
the related Mortgage Loan Seller within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection
of mediation (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures
(the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

 


    -168-


     


    

 

(ii) 
  The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the state of New York and have at least fifteen (15)
years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization
matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon being supplied a
list of at least ten (10) potential qualified mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise
two (2) peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference.
The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices
of the parties to the extent possible.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(vi) 
  Out of pocket costs and expenses of the applicable 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 (such provider, the “Arbitration Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration
procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

 

(ii) 
  The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least fifteen
(15) years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed
securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon
being supplied a list of at least ten (10) potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the
right to exercise two (2) peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order
of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting
the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

 


    -169-


     


    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 


    -170-


     


    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)      In
the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may
be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, shall be a party to
any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing
Party; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such
proceeding shall be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (provided
that a Consultation Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing) and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All
amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in
the applicable 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 

 


    -171-


     


    

 

behalf
shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

 

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

 

(vi)      The
Trust (or the Trustee or the Enforcing Servicer, acting on its behalf), the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted
to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any mediation
or arbitration. Each party to the proceedings shall be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase
Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such procedures; provided, however, that (A) the
Certificateholders shall be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent provided
in Section 5.06 and (B) the Enforcing Servicer shall be permitted to include such information in any 15Ga-1 Notice as it
is required pursuant to Section 2.02(g).

 

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

 

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

 

(ix)       Any
out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration or related
responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement shall be reimbursable as additional Trust Fund expenses.

 

(p)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan
Sellers to repurchase with respect to a Material Defect with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall be limited to a repurchase
with respect to the Mortgage Note it sold to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With
respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to the Mortgage Note
sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material Defect
with respect to the entire related Joint Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect
to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

with applicable law, this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan documents and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the 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 applicable

the related Intercreditor Agreement) and the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the related Companion

shall control; provided that in no event shall the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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

and no other Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or other related asset in the Trust serviced hereunder, unless specifically
indicated otherwise. To the extent consistent with the foregoing, each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer shall service
the applicable Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the related Serviced Companion Loans in accordance

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
Loans constituted a single lender), taking into account the subordinate or pari passu, as applicable, nature of the related
Companion Loans), as determined by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate
of such Master Servicer or such 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 applicable Master Servicer,
the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable; (iii) the obligation,
if any, of the applicable Master Servicer to make Advances; (iv) the right of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates to receive compensation for its services and reimbursement for
its costs hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction; (v) the ownership, servicing or management for others of (a)
a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Non-Serviced Companion Loan or (b) any other mortgage loans, subordinate debt, mezzanine loans
or properties not covered by this Agreement or held by the Trust by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer,
as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates; (vi) any debt that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 a related Companion Loan the applicable
Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates, may have; and (viii) any obligation
of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, or any of their respective Affiliates, to repurchase or
substitute for a Mortgage Loan as a Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer or any of their respective
Affiliates is a Mortgage Loan Seller) (the foregoing, collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).

 

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

 

Without
limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19, the applicable Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer
(i) any Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and any related Serviced Companion Loans as to which a Servicing
Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (each, a “Specially Serviced Loan”) or as otherwise provided
herein with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans in connection with any 

 


    -175-


     


    

 

Major
Decision or Special Servicer Decision and (ii) any REO Properties (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties); provided
that the applicable Master Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to
be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, except for the reports specified herein
as prepared by the applicable Special Servicer, as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties
(and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially
Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, however, that
the applicable Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from
a failure of the applicable Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to such Master Servicer to comply with such duties
or failure by such Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. No Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
in its capacity as a Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have any responsibility for the performance
by any other Master Servicer or Special Servicer, in its capacity as a Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of
such other Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s duties under this Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan or any related
Serviced Companion Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified
in Section 3.19(a). Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19 and in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer any Non-Specially Serviced Loan or
any related Serviced Companion Loan. The applicable Special Servicer shall make the property inspections, use its reasonable efforts
to collect the financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls (or, with respect to residential cooperative
properties, maintenance schedules) and forward to the applicable Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged
Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the applicable
Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan if efforts by such
Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact
shall be coordinated through and with the cooperation of the applicable Master Servicer. No provision herein contained shall be
construed as an express or implied guarantee by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer of the collectability
or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loan or be construed to impair or adversely
affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer (including with respect
to Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances and interest accrued thereon). Any provision
in this Agreement for any Advance by the applicable 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 any Master Servicer or Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect
of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

 

(b)       Subject
only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08) and of the
respective Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and applicable
law, each applicable Master Servicer and each applicable Special Servicer shall have full power 

 


    -176-


     


    

 

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

 


    -177-


     


    

 

in
the judgment of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard)
prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding, and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate such
Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with
the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

 

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

 

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

 

(f)       Within
sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the
later of (i) the receipt thereof by the applicable Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, the applicable Master Servicer shall
notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold 

 


    -178-


     


    

 

interest
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee and that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of
any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor.

 

With
respect to letters of credit delivered in accordance with sub-clause (B) of clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage
File”, (a) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date or such shorter period as is required by the terms of such letter
of credit or other applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall notify the bank issuing the letter
of credit that the applicable Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be the beneficiary under such letter of credit, and
(b) within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, the applicable Master Servicer shall present such letter of credit and the related
assignment documentation delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with such sub-clause 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 (x) in the case of the Mortgage Loans other than the NCB Mortgage Loans, “Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as General Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit
of registered holders of BANK 2021-BNK36, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK36” or (y) in the
case of the NCB Mortgage Loans, “National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust,
National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of registered holders of BANK 2021-BNK36, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2021-BNK36”. The applicable Master Servicer shall otherwise use reasonable efforts to obtain such reissued letter
of credit back from the issuing letter of credit bank within sixty (60) days (and in any event within ninety (90) days) following
the Closing Date. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide such reasonable cooperation as requested by the applicable Master
Servicer, including without limitation by delivering such additional assignment or amendment documents required by the issuing
bank in order to reissue a letter of credit as provided above.

 

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

 


    -179-


     


    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(j) 
     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent
required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder
(but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until
such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being acknowledged
that no Master Servicer or 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 

 


    -180-


     


    

 

other
costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and expenses relating to the enforcement
of such indemnity) incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken
while the related Serviced Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect
to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund shall
be payable out of the Trust Fund and the applicable Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after the
date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of
any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so
long as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) has not been entered into, the applicable
Master Servicer shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Servicing Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole
Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance
is necessary, or in the case of a Servicing Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business
Day. With respect to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the second proviso to the preceding sentence,
the applicable Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections
on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by such Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances
in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by such Master Servicer hereunder.

 

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

 

(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.

 


    -181-


     


    

 

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

 

(n) 
      [RESERVED].

 

(o)      For
the avoidance of doubt, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the
Trustee have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer,
Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make Servicing Advances with respect to any Non-Serviced
Whole Loan. The obligation of the applicable Master Servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances
to the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is
dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer
or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

 

(p)       Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer to lend
money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property, except, in the case of an NCB Co-op Mortgage
Loan, any such indebtedness as to which the NCB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been satisfied, which indebtedness may be secured
by a lien on the related Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from or otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings
with any Mortgagor as though the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement
or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the
Servicing Standard.

 

Section
3.02   Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable
Special Servicer shall each make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage
Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and
shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard);
provided that with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has an Anticipated Repayment Date, for so long as the related Mortgagor
is in compliance with each provision of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable
Special Servicer shall be permitted to take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make
any payment of Excess Interest to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents; provided, further,
that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master
Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, may 

 


    -182-


     


    

 

in
its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan
that it is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect
to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable,
may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion
Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional
expense of the Trust has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion
Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing
Standard, only after the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, has, prior to the
occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder
and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to
such additional waiver (provided that if such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive
a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the
Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that
after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent
of the Directing Certificateholder; provided, further, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not have any consent
or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party with respect to the foregoing
waivers.

 

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

 

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

 

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 such Mortgage Loan (as described in the first proviso in the definition
of Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount);

 


    -183-


     


    

 

third,

of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the excess of (i) accrued and unpaid interest (exclusive

fifth below on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in sub-clause (i)
of this clause third that (A)(x) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related
P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (y) with
respect to any accrued and unpaid interest that was not advanced due to a determination that the related P&I Advance would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance, constitutes the amount of interest that (absent such determination of nonrecoverability preventing
such P&I Advance from being made) would not have been advanced because of the reductions in the amount of related P&I
Advances for such Mortgage Loan that would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, or (B) accrued
at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral
Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;

principal balance);

 

fifth,
as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the
reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related
Appraisal Reduction Amounts or would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts but for such P&I
Advance not having been made as a result of a determination that such P&I Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Advance,
and (B) any unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate
on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect

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,

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

 

(ii)       Collections

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 additional trust fund

    -185-


     


    

 

Workout
Fees previously paid by the Trust Fund from general collections) 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 Mortgage Loans (as described in the first proviso in the definition
of Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount);

 

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

reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related
Appraisal Reduction Amounts or would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts but for such P&I
Advance not having been made as a result of a determination that such P&I Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Advance

as recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause fifth or clause fifth of the prior
paragraph on earlier dates);

 

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

 


    -186-


     


    

 

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 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 remaining unpaid principal (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, further, that
with respect to each Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan, amounts collected with respect to the related Serviced Whole
Loan shall be allocated first pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and then, any amounts allocated to
the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be subject to application as described above.

 

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

 

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

 

(d)       In
the event that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer receives Excess Interest prior to the Determination
Date for any Collection Period, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer
will be receiving Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, such Master Servicer or such Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee and Certificate Administrator two (2) Business Days prior to the related
Distribution Date. None of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the
Trustee shall 

 


    -187-


     


    

 

be
responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements
shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).

 

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

 

(f)       Promptly
following the Closing Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan and, with respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan,
promptly following receipt of notice in connection with the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Certificate Administrator
shall send written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (with
a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating that, as of such date,
the Trustee is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master Servicer to remit to
the applicable Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be,
to the applicable Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded,
delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor
Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. The applicable Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly
identified funds, deposit into the applicable 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)
Each Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which
all Escrow Payments received by it shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance
with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents. Any Servicing Account related to a
Serviced Whole Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder(s) collectively,
but this shall not be construed to modify the respective interests of any noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor
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 

 


    -188-


     


    

 

the
Trustee and then the applicable Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums
as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by
applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the
applicable Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan,
apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error;
(vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the applicable
Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent
required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event
shall the applicable Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income
or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the applicable
Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

 

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

 


    -189-


     


    
 

(c)       In
accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the applicable
Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes,
assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums
on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related
REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item
on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments,
the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after
such Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received
confirmation that such item has not been paid and (ii) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue
in respect of such taxes or assessments. The applicable Special Servicer shall give the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee
no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which such Master Servicer
is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, however,
that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances
required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis provided, further, that the applicable Special Servicer shall
not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis)
more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The applicable
Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the applicable Special
Servicer, in which case such Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The applicable Special
Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring
the making of a Servicing Advance, such Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance in its sole discretion. Within five (5)
Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, such Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable Master Servicer a request
for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in such Special Servicer’s possession
regarding the subject Servicing Advance as such Master Servicer may reasonably request, and such Master Servicer shall be obligated,
out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse such Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other
than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by such Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, together with interest thereon
at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying
payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Special Servicer. Upon the applicable
Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the applicable Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to such Special
Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, such Master Servicer shall for all purposes of
this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as such Special Servicer actually made such Servicing
Advance, and accordingly, such Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Servicing Advance, together with interest
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Master Servicer would
otherwise have been entitled if it had actually

 


    -190-


     


    

 

made
such Servicing Advance at the time such Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c),
the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the applicable Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or
to make at the direction of such Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if such Master Servicer determines in its reasonable
judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by such Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,
is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The applicable Master Servicer shall notify such Special Servicer in writing of
such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall instead be reimbursed to such Special Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

 

Any
request by a Special Servicer that the applicable Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination
by such Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and such Master Servicer
and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; provided that the determination shall not
be binding on such Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution
Date, the applicable Special Servicer shall report to the applicable Master Servicer if such Special Servicer determines any Servicing
Advance previously made by such Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance. Such Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, and such determination shall be
binding upon such Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of such Master Servicer in the absence of such determination
to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the applicable Special Servicer makes a determination
that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable
Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously
made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer
or the Trustee determines that a proposed Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding
Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance,
the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the applicable Other Servicer written notice of such
determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. Any such determination by the applicable Special
Servicer that a Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be binding on the applicable Master
Servicer and the Trustee. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors
and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer in effecting the
payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall,
for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions
to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal 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 applicable 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, each applicable Master

 


    -191-


     


    

 

Servicer
shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations.
No Special Servicer shall have an obligation to make any Servicing Advances or recoverability determination with respect to any
Servicing Advance under this Agreement.

 

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

 

(d)      In
connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance out of the applicable Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution
Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the
Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer and then the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be and in that order, shall
be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the applicable Collection Account interest at the Reimbursement
Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the
date of reimbursement. Subject to Section 3.17(c), the applicable Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the applicable
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as soon as practically possible after
funds available for such purpose are deposited in the applicable Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained
as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) subject to the applicable Master Servicer’s or the
Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts 

 


    -192-


     


    

 

as
provided herein; provided, however, that such Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s options and rights to defer
recovery of such amounts shall not alter such Master Servicer’s obligation to reimburse such Special Servicer for any outstanding
Servicing Advance as provided for in this sentence. To the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account with
respect to the related Companion Loan are insufficient for any such reimbursement, the applicable Master Servicer shall use efforts
in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor
Agreement to obtain any reimbursement available from the holder of the related Companion Loan.

 

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

 

Section
3.04   The Collection Accounts,
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, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Retained Certificate
Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account. (a)
Each Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, a Collection Account in which such
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis and in no event later than the second (2nd)
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

accordance with Section 3.14(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment
(as to which the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been entitled to any
Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as
the case may be, and on deposit in any of the applicable Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing
Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the REO Account, the applicable Master Servicer (in the case of the applicable Collection
Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for such Master Servicer), the applicable
Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for
such Special Servicer) shall deposit therein, no later than the P&I Advance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount
of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to
and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date; provided that neither the applicable Master
Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment
Account if such loss is


 






     -212-


     


    

 


incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution
or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications
set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made (and such federal or state chartered depository
institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, unless such
depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at
the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to such insolvency).


 


(c)         
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the applicable Master Servicer
may and, upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall,
take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.


 


Section 3.07       
Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) Each Master Servicer (with respect
to the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each Special Servicer
(with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall maintain, to the extent required by the
terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents
except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided
in the next sentence with respect to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be). If
the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required
Servicing Advance, each Master Servicer (with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan)
or each Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall maintain all insurance
coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such
insurance is available to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, and, if available, can be obtained at
commercially reasonable rates. Any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially
reasonable rates shall be made with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of
any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder) (or, with
respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, if the Directing Certificateholder’s consent is required and an AB Control Appraisal
Period is not in effect, with the consent of the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan) and, after consultation
by the applicable Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Consultation Termination Event, the related Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan) pursuant to Section 6.08(a)
(in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any
Excluded Loan as to such party). Such determination shall be made by each Master Servicer (with respect to the Serviced Mortgage
Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or each 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


 






     -213-


     


    

 


as determined by such Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or such Special Servicer (with respect to
a Specially Serviced Loan); provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the
Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, such Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property,
such Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with
the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, with
respect to the immediately preceding proviso, a Master Servicer shall be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist
or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the applicable Master
Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced
Loan) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing)
or, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, the Subordinate Companion Holder (if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in
effect) and after consultation by the applicable Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (provided, that prior
to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the related Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced
Loan) pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party)) and
only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the applicable Master Servicer
or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. Each
Master Servicer and each Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s
expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a)
and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the applicable Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last
sentence of this paragraph, such Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged
Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless
such Special Servicer determines with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event) and after consultation by the applicable Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation
Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in each case other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan
as to such party) that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable
interest, in which case the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Special Servicer’s
determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard”
mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the applicable Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained
in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other
than REO Properties) or to the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect
of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties),
(iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing
Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage
Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid
the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation
(unless such


 






     -214-


     


    

 


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


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require
the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or
(y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks
as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order
to protect its interests, each 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 each Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such
policies contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified
in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) if
the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, notify the applicable Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance
policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon such Master Servicer’s compliance
with the immediately preceding


 






     -215-


     


    

 


clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor under a Specially Serviced Loan
fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the applicable Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B)
above. In addition, upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any individual triggering event,
the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis pursuant to Section 6.08(a) with the Risk Retention
Consultation Party (only with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an
Excluded Loan as to such party) within the same time period as it would obtain consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder
in connection with any such determination by the applicable Special Servicer of an Acceptable Insurance Default. If the applicable
Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially
Serviced Loan) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default,
such Special Servicer (with regard to such determination made by the applicable Special Servicer) shall notify the applicable
Master Servicer, and the applicable Master Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, after notice from the applicable
Special Servicer) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. Each Master
Servicer and each Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making
such determinations. Each Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer)
in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, each Master Servicer or each Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of
the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer is evaluating the
availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder or any Companion Holder or, with
respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, the related Subordinate Companion Holder, and/or with respect (solely with respect to Specially
Serviced Loans) upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consulting (on a non-binding basis) with the Risk Retention
Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), neither such Master Servicer nor such Special Servicer will be liable
for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and will
not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure and such Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance
or cause such insurance to be maintained.


 


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


 






     -216-


     


    

 


losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into its Collection Account from its own
funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the
blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation
that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible
limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator
and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the applicable Master Servicer agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion
in accordance with the terms of such policy. Each Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may
maintain, earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided
coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.


 


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


 


(c)         
Each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect
throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer
covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors
or omissions. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage
of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of such Master
Servicer or such Special


 






     -217-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(e)         
During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a
federally designated special flood hazard area, the applicable Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available
at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by such Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder
(prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and in consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation
Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in either such case, other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded
Loan as to such party and any Serviced AB Whole Loan if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect)) in accordance with the
Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount
consistent with the Servicing Standard. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense
of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein
is insufficient therefor, paid by the applicable 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
applicable Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the applicable Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote
parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A-” by S&P or “A” by Fitch (if rated by Fitch), such Master
Servicer (or its public


 






     -218-


     


    

 


parent) or such Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance
with respect to any of its obligations under this Section 3.07.


 


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


 


(h)         
With respect to the One North Wacker Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the lender has discretion to require a Rating Agency
Confirmation with respect to a “Non-Conforming Policy” (as defined under the related mortgage loan agreement) under
the related mortgage loan agreement, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall require a Rating
Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy.


 


(i)          
With respect to the Plaza at Imperial Valley Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the lender has discretion to require excess liability
insurance, the applicable Master Servicer and applicable Special Servicer shall require that the related borrower obtains and
maintains, or causes to obtain and maintain, excess liability insurance in an amount consistent with the commercial general liability
insurance required under Section 8.1(a)(ii) in the related mortgage loan agreement or otherwise obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation
from each Rating Agency.


 


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 or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, other than with respect
to an action that constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii), (xiv) or (xvi) of the
definition thereof, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right
it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to
withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such
rights, provided that if such matter is a Major Decision, (i) (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control
Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, or the holder
of the majority of the Controlling Class, has obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder
to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), or if such Mortgage Loan
is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the


 






     -219-


     


    

 


Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class,
a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant
to Section 6.08(a), (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation
Party and (x) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (y) a Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and
be continuing, the applicable Special Servicer shall have consulted with the Risk Retention Consultation Party if and to the extent
required pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (C) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan if an AB Control Appraisal
Period is not in effect, the prior consent of the related Subordinate Companion Holder shall have been obtained, to the extent
required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, and pursuant to the process described in this Agreement (provided
that in the case of clause (A), clause (B) and clause (C) such consent shall be deemed given
or such consultation shall be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, if a response to the request for consent or consultation,
as the case may be, is not provided within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the applicable Special Servicer’s
written recommendation and analysis with respect to such waiver and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder
or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, and reasonably available to such Special Servicer in order to grant or
withhold such consent or conduct such consultation), and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal
Balance greater than or equal to $35,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregated
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (z) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which
it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate
thereof), that is one of the ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the applicable Special
Servicer, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation
of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current
ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may
be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates
pursuant to Section 3.25), provided, however, that with respect to sub-clauses (y) and (z) of this sub-clause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000
for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any
Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class (regardless
of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the
Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and
consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.


 


With
respect to any “due-on-sale” matter described above that is a Major Decision related to any Mortgage Loan that is
not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest upon
request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the
Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event,
Specially Serviced Loans; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, all
Mortgage Loans,


 






     -220-


     


    

 


within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder
with respect to such Major Decision.


 


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


 


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 contained in the related
Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are
satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the
applicable Master Servicer (with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the applicable Special Servicer (with respect
to all Specially Serviced Loans), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine in accordance with the
Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


then,
for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement (and other than with
respect to an action that constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii), clause (xiv) or clause (xvi) of the
definition thereof with respect to such “due-on-encumbrance” clause), the applicable Special Servicer, on behalf of
the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan
or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any
additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights,
provided that, if such matter is a Major Decision, (i) (A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect
to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, no Control Termination Event shall
have occurred and be continuing and the matter involves a Major Decision, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the
Directing Certificateholder shall have been obtained by the applicable Special Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant
to the process described under, Section 6.08(a), (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan with respect
to the Directing Certificateholder, a Control Termination Event shall have


 






     -221-


     


    

 


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


 


With
respect to any “due-on-encumbrance” matter described above that is a Major Decision related to any Mortgage Loan that
is not an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest
upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding


 






     -222-


     


    

 


basis with
the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination
Event, Specially Serviced Loans; and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event,
all Mortgage Loans within the same time period as it would obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Certificateholder
with respect to such Major Decision.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     -223-


     


    

 


clause which waiver constitutes
a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii), (xiv) or (xvi) of the definition thereof) and will
not be permitted to process any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision or be required to interface with the Mortgagor or
provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any Major Decision or Special Servicer 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, no Master Servicer
or 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
applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide copies of any final waivers
(except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information)
it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect
to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.25)
and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed
pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.


 


(e)         
[Reserved].


 


(f)         
For the avoidance of doubt, no Master Servicer or Special Servicer may waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale”
or “due-on-encumbrance” clause other than in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) through
(d) hereof or, with respect to an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, in compliance with the provisions of the following paragraph.
In the case of a Special Servicer, no such waiver or consent that constitutes a Major Decision shall be made without (x) (i) prior
to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, with
respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained
if and to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under Section 6.08(a) or (y) (i) after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded
Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination
Event, after having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.08(a).


 


(g)         
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of whether a particular NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan contains specific provisions regarding
the incurrence of subordinate debt, or prohibits the incurrence of subordinate debt, or requires the consent of the mortgagee
in order to incur subordinate debt, the NCB Master Servicer may, nevertheless, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, without
the need to obtain any consent or approval of, or to consult with, the Directing Certificateholder hereunder (and without the
need to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation), permit the related Mortgagor to incur subordinate debt if the NCB Subordinate


 






     -224-


     


    

 


Debt
Conditions have been met; provided that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the NCB Master Servicer
shall not waive any right it has, or grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, in accordance with any related “due-on-encumbrance”
clause under any Mortgage Loan, pursuant to this paragraph, unless in any such case, all associated costs and expenses are covered
without any expense to the Trust.


 


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


 


Section 3.09      Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a) Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents
related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide
written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the applicable
Special Servicer. If such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is a Defaulted Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall,
subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, subject
to the Directing Certificateholder’s and the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s respective rights pursuant to Section 6.08,
and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced
Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable
efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition)
the ownership of property securing any such Serviced Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue
in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent
payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the
provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the applicable Master
Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration
of such property unless such Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase
the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to such Master Servicer or
such Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance, and such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer has not determined
that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs
and expenses incurred by the applicable Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the applicable Master Servicer;
provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.
Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer,
on behalf of the Trust, to make 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer
in its reasonable


 






     -225-


     


    

 


judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal
obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such offers to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If
and when the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing
the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for
purposes of making an offer at foreclosure or otherwise, the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as
the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser
the cost of which shall be paid by such Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.


 


(b)         
No Special Servicer shall acquire any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)         
there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials
for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be
required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the


 






     -226-


     


    

 


Certificateholders
(and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and,
if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.


 


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


 


(d)         
If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions
set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not
been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan,
any related Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or
required to be made pursuant to Section 4 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage
Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 5 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, then the applicable Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the
Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized, with the consent of the Directing
Certificateholder and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a) (in
each case, (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any AB Mortgage
Loan, if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination
Event) and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) at such time as it deems appropriate to release
such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding
principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
related Mortgage, (i) the applicable Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Directing


 






     -227-


     


    

 


Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the
case of the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and
in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party other than with respect to any Excluded
Loan as to such party), in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the
Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the applicable Special Servicer’s intention to so release such
Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in
addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled
to more than 50% of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty
(30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure
to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates). To the extent any fee charged
by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is
to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the applicable Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(h)         
Each Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination
in respect of a Defaulted Loan (other


 






     -228-


     


    

 


than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or defaulted Companion Loan or any REO
Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced
by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder
and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation
Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) and the applicable Master Servicer and in no event later
than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.


 


Section 3.10       
Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any
Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer
or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery
of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing
Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to
the applicable Master Servicer to enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited. Within seven (7) Business Days (or within
such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer
notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage
File to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that in the case
of the payment in full of a Serviced Companion Loan or its related Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File shall not be released
by the Custodian unless the related Serviced Whole Loan is paid in full. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument
of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to a 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed
by a Servicing Officer. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to
the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be. Upon return of such Mortgage
File or such document to the Custodian, or the delivery to the Trustee and the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer
of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, stating that such Mortgage Loan (and,
in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan), was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received
in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the applicable Collection Account (including amounts
related to the related Companion Loan, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited,
or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian to
the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be, with the original being
released upon termination of the Trust.


 






     -229-


     


    

 


(c)         
Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the applicable Special
Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the applicable Special
Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s
sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage
Note (including any note evidencing a related Companion Loan) or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any
other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The applicable
Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for
signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings
or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such 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 applicable Master Servicer shall be
entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the
portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA). As to each Mortgage Loan, Companion
Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis
of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner
as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial
month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or Companion
Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or
REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, except that if such Mortgage
Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan and such Serviced Whole Loan continues to be serviced and administered under this Agreement
notwithstanding such Liquidation Event, then the applicable Servicing Fee shall continue to accrue and be payable as if such Liquidation
Event did not occur. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage
Loan, Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a).
Each Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any applicable Mortgage Loan, Companion
Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds,


 






     -230-


     


    

 


Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues
(in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a).


 


Except
as set forth in the following sentence, the fourth (4th) paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.03,
Section 6.05 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole
or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the applicable Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder
to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof). With respect to each Serviced Companion Loan, the Servicing Fee
shall be payable to the applicable Master Servicer from amounts payable in respect of such Serviced Companion Loan, subject to
the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


Each
Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in its Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a),
additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts
to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor relating to a Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan for which
it acts as Master Servicer:


 


(i)           100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced
Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that
are Master Servicer Decisions; and for any matter for a Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan) that is not a Specially
Serviced Loan which matter involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision (other than with respect to a Payment Accommodation),
then such Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such Excess Modification Fees; provided, that no Master Servicer
shall be entitled to any COVID Forbearance Fees with respect to a Payment Accommodation;


 


(ii)          100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received on any Serviced Mortgage Loans that are Non-Specially
Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement)
to the extent such Master Servicer is processing the underlying transaction and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that
for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees in connection with a defeasance that
the applicable Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement); and


 


(iii)         100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees and defeasance
fees) pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement
on the Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related
Intercreditor Agreement) relating to Master Servicer Decisions; and for any matter for a Mortgage Loan (including any related
Companion Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Loan which matter involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision (other
than with respect to a Payment Accommodation), then the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such assumption,
waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees.


 






     -231-


     


    

 


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


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, if either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has partially waived any Penalty Charge (part
of which accrued when the related Mortgage Loan was not a Specially Serviced Loan and part of which accrued when the related Mortgage
Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan), any collections in respect of such Penalty Charge will be shared pro rata by the applicable
Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer based on the respective portions of such Penalty Charge to which each would
otherwise have been entitled.


 


With
respect to any of the preceding fees (other than Penalty Charges) as to which both the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable
Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer
shall each have the right in its sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion
of such fee; provided, that (A) neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer will have the
right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either of the applicable
Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion
in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee will not have any right to
share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the applicable Master Servicer


 






     -232-


     


    

 


decides not to charge any
fee (other than Penalty Charges), the applicable Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the
related fee to which such Special Servicer would have been entitled if such Master Servicer had charged a fee and such Master
Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by such Special Servicer. Similarly, if the applicable Special Servicer
decides not to charge any fee (other than Penalty Charges), the applicable Master Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge
its portion of the related fee to which such Master Servicer would have been entitled if such Special Servicer had charged a fee
and such Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such fee charged by such Master Servicer.


 


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


 


(b)         
As compensation for its activities hereunder, each Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with
respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-Serviced
Mortgaged Property). As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time
at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced
Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans or REO
Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any
related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing
Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to
the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of the applicable Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations
under this Agreement. No Special Servicer shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan.


 


(c)         
Each Special Servicer shall be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of:


 






     -233-


     


    

 


(i)         
100% of Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans and
100% of COVID Forbearance Fees related to any Payment Accommodation,


 


(ii)        
100% of assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of all
assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loans) and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent the applicable Special Servicer processes
the underlying transaction,


 


(iii)       
100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees and fees in respect of other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the
Specially Serviced Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor on Specially Serviced Loans,


 


(iv)       
100% of assumption fees and other similar fees received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans,


 


(v)        
50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees (other than assumption
application fees and defeasance fees) received with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Loan(s) that
are Non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent that the matter involves a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision (other
than with respect to a Payment Accommodation), and


 


(vi)       
100% of charges for beneficiary statements and demand charges actually paid by the Mortgagors to the extent such beneficiary statements
or demand charges are prepared by such Special Servicer.


 


and
shall be promptly paid to each Special Servicer by the applicable Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to
the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the applicable Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), each Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional
servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest
or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund in accordance
with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account
for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution
Date). In addition, each Special Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect
to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees
are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, and only to the extent actually paid by or on behalf of the related
Mortgagor. Each Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with
respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided,
that after receipt by the applicable Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to
$25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount received by the applicable
Special Servicer; provided, further, that in


 






     -234-


     


    

 


the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout
calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from
the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total
Workout Fees payable to the applicable Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion
Loan) being equal to $25,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the One North Wacker Mortgage Loan, no Liquidation
Fee shall be payable to the extent the related borrower is not required to pay a Liquidation Fee in connection with a “Borrower
Workout Request” as defined under Section 17.7 of the related mortgage loan agreement. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to
the One North Wacker Mortgage Loan, no Workout Fee shall be payable to the extent the related borrower is not required to pay
a Workout Fee in connection with a “Borrower Workout Request” as defined under Section 17.7 of the related mortgage
loan agreement. No Special Servicer shall be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If a 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 a 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 applicable Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed
writing, but which had not as of the time the applicable Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely
because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently
becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments. The successor
special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. No Special Servicer will be entitled to receive any
Workout Fees after termination of such Special Servicer for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer 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 applicable Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation
Proceeds and (b) each Mortgage Loan repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller or for which a Loss of Value Payment was paid,
in each case, subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of
such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation
Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the applicable Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout
Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation
Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each
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


 






     -235-


     


    

 


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), each Special Servicer will also
be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. Each 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 applicable Collection Account or the REO Account, and the applicable
Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, if either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has partially waived any Penalty Charge (part
of which accrued when the related Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan and part of which accrued when the related Mortgage
Loan was not a Specially Serviced Loan), any collections in respect of such Penalty Charge will be shared pro rata by the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based on the respective portions of such Penalty Charge to which each would otherwise
have been entitled.


 


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


 


(d)         
In determining the compensation of each applicable Master Servicer or each applicable 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 applicable Master
Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan,
if applicable (and, in connection


 






     -236-


     


    

 


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


 


If
a Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the
applicable Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same
manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned
with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as the applicable Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to a Servicing
Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to
any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan
on the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall
be entitled to compensation with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if such Special Servicer were being terminated
(other than for cause) as the Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer
were replacing such Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.


 


(e)         
With respect to each Distribution Date, each Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Master
Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date, and such 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


 






     -237-


     


    

 


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


 


(g)         
Pursuant to the CREFC® License Agreement, CREFC® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions
set forth on Exhibit II hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC® may provide to each applicable
Master Servicer in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC® Intellectual
Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. Each Master Servicer shall withdraw from its 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 its Collection Account.


 


Section 3.12       
Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a) Each Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall
cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other
than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) for which it acts as Master Servicer with a Stated
Principal Balance of (i) $2,000,000 or more at least once every twelve (12) months and (ii) less than $2,000,000 at
least once every twenty-four (24) months, in each case, commencing in the calendar year 2023 (and each Mortgaged Property shall
be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2024); provided, however, that if a physical inspection has been performed
by the applicable Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months, such 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 (excluding a delinquency that would have existed but for a Payment Accommodation,
for so long as the related Mortgagor is complying with the terms of such Payment Accommodation), the applicable 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 a Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense
of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received
from the related Mortgagor and then from the applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii),


 






     -238-


     


    

 


provided
that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor
Agreement (i) with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced
Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with their respective outstanding principal balances,
or (ii) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, from the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan(s) and then,
from the Serviced AB Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans on a pro rata and pari passu basis
(provided that, with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise modify the
terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which any amounts collected with respect to the related Whole Loan are
allocated to the related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans and the AB Subordinate Companion Loans),
in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections. With respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, the costs will be
allocated, first, as an expense of the related Subordinate Companion Holder and, second, as an expense of the holder
of the related Mortgage Loan to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The applicable Special Servicer or
the applicable Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection

investigation or verification, the NCB Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely, absent manifest error, on the content,

AL Additional File shall include the information contained in the NCB CREFC® Schedule AL File and any NCB Schedule
AL Additional File, respectively, delivered to the General Master Servicer by the NCB Master Servicer for such Distribution Date
pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph), and each in both EDGAR-Compatible Format and Excel format; provided,
however, that the General Master Servicer shall have no obligation to prepare or deliver the CREFC® Schedule
AL File for any given Distribution Date unless the General Master Servicer receives the Initial Schedule AL File from the Depositor
pursuant to Section 2.01(j) and the NCB CREFC® Schedule AL File for such Distribution Date pursuant
to the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Certificate Administrator does not receive the CREFC® Schedule AL
File from the General Master Servicer by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the P&I Advance Date, it shall request the CREFC®
Schedule AL File from the General Master Servicer via email at ssreports@wellsfargo.com and send a copy of such request

error, on the content, completeness and accuracy of the Initial Schedule AL File and Annex A-1 to the Prospectus and the NCB CREFC®

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


 


(e)         
Each Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable Master Servicer the reports and information required of such Special Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and


 






     -243-


     


    

 


Section 3.12(c), and such Master Servicer shall deliver or make available
to the Certificate Administrator the reports and data files set forth in Section 3.12(d). Such Master Servicer may,
absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the
case of information or reports to be furnished by the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b)
or Section 3.12(c), the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer,
and the applicable 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 applicable 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 a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise
required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the
extent such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of such Master
Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document
prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. A Master Servicer and a Special
Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent
with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. A Master Servicer or a Special Servicer may affix to any information provided
by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other
party hereto).


 


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


 


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


 






     -244-


     


    

 


problems, however, copies in electronic format shall follow upon the correction of such system problems.


 


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


 


The
failure of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.13 as a result
of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.13. In connection with providing information
pursuant to this Section 3.13, each applicable Master Servicer and each applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s
website; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and/or (iv) withhold access
to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by
applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer to disclose
any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement
to the extent that such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith
judgment consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision
of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Companion
Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or otherwise materially
harm the Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Master


 






     -245-


     


    

 


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


 


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

Class Holder shall submit a new investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D in physical form
(or, solely with respect to the applicable Master Servicer, in electronic form) 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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,

anything herein to the contrary, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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 applicable
Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be,
has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling
Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. Each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable
Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any communication to the Directing
Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or disclosure of any information
relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including any related Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator
for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, did not receive prior written notice that the related
Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted on the Certificate
Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.33.


 


Each
applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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


 






     -251-


     


    

 


Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant
to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to
such Excluded Information, the Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed
that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party,
(B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of the Directing Certificateholder
or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower
Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (D) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect
ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies
and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Party or a Holder of an RR Interest receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any
information solely related to a Mortgage Loan with respect to which such party is a Borrower Party (which shall include any Asset
Status Reports, Final Asset Status Reports (or summaries thereof), inspection reports related to Specially Serviced Loans conducted
by a Special Servicer or any Excluded Special Servicer and which may include any Operating Advisor reports delivered to the Certificate
Administrator regarding such Special Servicer’s net present value determination or any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations
delivered pursuant to Section 3.26(d) and Section 3.26(e), and any Officer’s Certificates delivered
by the Trustee, a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, supporting any determination that any Advance was (or, if made, would
be) a Nonrecoverable Advance, but in each case other than information with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is aggregated with
information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level), on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access
to such information, such Risk Retention Consultation Party or Holder of an RR Interest shall be deemed to have agreed that it
(i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any employees
or personnel of such Risk Retention Consultation Party or Holder of an RR Interest or any of its Affiliates involved in the management
of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (C) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate
that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal
controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i)
above. For the avoidance of doubt, any file or report contained in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package (CREFC®
IRP) (other than the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File relating to any such Excluded Loan) shall be considered
information that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level. For avoidance of doubt, the covenants

Servicer or as Certificate Administrator.

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


 


(j)          
The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.13 by the Depositor, each applicable Master Servicer, each
applicable 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


 






     -258-


     


    

 


excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.14. Each Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and,
if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar
year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless such Special Servicer either (i) applies
for a qualifying extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired
ownership (or the period provided in 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 applicable Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO
Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated
by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, such Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such
longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by such
Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding
sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall
be an expense of the Trust payable out of the applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).


 


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


 


(c)         
The applicable Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring,
leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating
to such REO Property. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (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 applicable Special Servicer shall withdraw
from the REO Account and remit to the applicable Master Servicer, which shall deposit into the applicable Collection Account (or
the Companion Distribution Account, as applicable),


 






     -259-


     


    

 


the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during
the most recently ended Collection Period, net of (i) any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding
sentence and (ii) Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the REO Account; provided, however, that
the applicable Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such portion of such
balance as may be necessary to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management and tenant improvements
and other related expenses for the related REO Property. In addition, on or prior to the day the applicable Special Servicer remits
funds as provided in this Section 3.14, the applicable Special Servicer shall provide the applicable Master Servicer
with a written accounting of amounts remitted to such Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Collection Account, as applicable,
on such date. Such Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts as instructed by such Special Servicer on the Determination Date
(or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date) for the related Distribution Date.


 


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


 


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


 






     -260-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(b)         
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Special Servicer shall:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     -261-


     


    




 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(d)         
When and as necessary, each Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the applicable Master
Servicer a statement prepared by such Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal
income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary
service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO
Property in accordance with 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 applicable Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within
thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing
Standard; provided, however, that if the applicable Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal
with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, such Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably
practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. The applicable Special Servicer
may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant
factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such


 






     -262-


     


    

 


circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing
Standard including, without limitation, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged
Property and the state of the local economy; provided that the applicable Special Servicer shall promptly notify the applicable
Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.


 


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


 


(iii)        
If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, or if the related Companion
Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously
exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the applicable Special Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related
Serviced Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present
value basis, if and when the applicable Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory
arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale
would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In the case of a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold
together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer will be entitled
to sell ((i) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing
and (ii) after consulting with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08(a), in each case,
provided such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines
in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, subject
to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to the liquidation fee
that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer would have otherwise been entitled to in connection with the sale of such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan. Each Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer,
the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation
Termination Event), the Subordinate Companion Holder with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan if an AB Control Appraisal Period
is not in effect, and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of


 






     -263-


     


    

 


the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention
Consultation Party, other than in respect of any Excluded Loan as to such party) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written
notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, the applicable
Special Servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Purchase Price or may accept the first cash offer received from any Person
that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan.


 


(iv)        
(A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer
at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the applicable Special Servicer
for such price), the applicable Special Servicer shall solicit offers and, subject to sub-clause (B) below, accept
the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by such Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced
Loan, if the offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an
Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall take into account (in
addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this
Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical
condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided
that the Trustee may not be an offeror), the Trustee shall determine whether the offer constitutes a fair price unless such
offer by an Interested Person (i) is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price and (ii) is the highest
offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair
price unless (x) it is the highest offer received and (y) at least two (2) other offers are received from independent
third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted
Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conducted
in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new
Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable
as, a Servicing Advance by the applicable Master Servicer.


 


Notwithstanding
anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by
an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent
third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing
loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee
to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. If the Trustee designates
such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s
determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred
by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable by, the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee
will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The applicable
Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to


 






     -264-


     


    

 


collect payment from such Interested Person. If such
expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable
to the Trustee by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the applicable Special Servicer shall continue to
use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. Neither the
Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Loan.


 


(B)         
The applicable Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if such Special Servicer determines (in consultation
with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and the Risk Retention
Consultation Party subject, in each case, to the limitations on consultation set forth in and in accordance with Section 6.08(a)
and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) and, in the case of a Serviced
Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in
the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related
to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable,
the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, taking into account
the subordinate nature of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan)). In addition, the applicable Special Servicer may accept
a lower offer from any Person other than an Affiliate of such Special Servicer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates and, in the case of
a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder (as a collective
whole, as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and, with respect
to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related AB 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 applicable Special Servicer
or a Person that is an Affiliate of such Special Servicer. The applicable Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell
all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation
to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis
of anything other than the related Appraisal.


 


(C)         
In connection with any such sale involving a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right (if
permitted by the related Intercreditor Agreement), but not the obligation, to sell the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan if
such Special Servicer determines that such sale is in accordance


 






     -265-


     


    

 


with the Servicing Standard (taking into account the subordinate
nature of the applicable AB Subordinate Companion Loan).


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     -266-


     


    

 


(B)         
No Special Servicer shall be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if such
Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests
of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a
collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition,
such Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of
such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related
Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the 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 applicable Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of such Special Servicer.


 


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


 


(ii)         
Subject to the Servicing Standard, the applicable Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion
Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including
the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation
or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the Operating Advisor or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary
warranties of title, so long


 






     -267-


     


    

 


as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator,
the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall have no liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder
(if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee.


 


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


 


(d)         
With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if
the related Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the applicable Special Servicer determines to sell the related
Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the applicable Special Servicer
shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans (and, to the extent permitted by the related Intercreditor Agreement,
the related AB Subordinate Companion Loans) together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers
be submitted to such Special Servicer in writing. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder as to whether
any cash offer constitutes a fair price for a Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the applicable Special
Servicer unless the offeror is an Interested Person and by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person and the offer is
less than the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the
related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without
the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not
required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the
applicable Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen
(15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10)
days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received
by the applicable Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed
sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably
requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable
period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention
Consultation Party) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and
all leases or other documents that are approved by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer in connection
with the proposed sale. In connection with any such sale involving any Serviced AB Whole Loan, the applicable Special Servicer
will also have the right (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement), but not the obligation, to sell the related Subordinate
Companion Loan if such Special Servicer determines that such sale is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (taking into account
the subordinate nature of the applicable Subordinate Companion Loan). 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


 






     -268-


     


    

 


Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements
set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer
by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested
Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least
five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable
care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in
a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination,
the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the
costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by,
and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the applicable Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent
with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested
Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the applicable Master
Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the applicable Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.17    
Additional Obligations of Master Servicers and Special Servicers. (a) Each Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating
Interest Payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which it acts as Master Servicer (other than the portion of any Compensating
Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the Certificate


 






     -269-


     


    

 


Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier
REMIC Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor. Each Master Servicer shall
deliver the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the Companion Paying
Agent for deposit in the Companion Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.


 


(b)         
Each Master Servicer or each Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each 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 applicable
Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee,
each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount
of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain
from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending
on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided
that, other than in the case of an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority
of the Controlling Class, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of
any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall
be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the applicable 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 applicable Master
Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the
Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait
for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Master Servicer to be received until the end of such Collection
Period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or
portion thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement
of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections
on or in respect of Mortgage Loans deposited in the applicable Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the applicable
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen
(15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c),
unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which shall mean that (i) the applicable Master Servicer
or the Trustee, as the case may be,


 






     -270-


     


    

 


determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could
jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) changed circumstances or new or different information
becomes known to the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that could affect or cause a determination
of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination
in clause (i) above, or (iii) in the case of the applicable Master Servicer, it has not timely received from
the Trustee information required by the applicable Master Servicer to determine whether to defer reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable
Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence
apply, the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give the 17g-5 Information Provider a notice for posting
of the anticipated reimbursement as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required
by the preceding or second preceding sentence shall in no way affect the applicable Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s
election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or right to obtain such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c).
Nothing herein shall give the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance
to the extent of any principal collections then available in the applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v).
The applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses
resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by this Section 3.17(c).


 


The
foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure
by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this Section 3.17 or to comply with
the terms of this Section 3.17 and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any,
has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time,
or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the
applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard
and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders
or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines, in
its sole discretion, to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances immediately instead of deferring such reimbursement, then such
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the applicable Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first
from principal and then from interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining
reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit
the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement
of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The applicable Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as the case may be, agreement to
defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall
not be construed as an obligation on the part of such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over such Master
Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued
interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances
shall be deemed to be in accordance with the


 






     -271-


     


    

 


Servicing Standard and none of the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion
Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.17 or for any losses, damages
or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation
of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. Neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have
any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this Section 3.17(c).


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.18    
Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.(a)  The applicable Master Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents that are not Major Decisions
or Special Servicer Decisions with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that, in either
case, is not a Specially Serviced Loan, without the consent or approval of the Directing Certificateholder (except as specified
in the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”) or the consent or approval of the applicable Special Servicer. The
applicable Special Servicer shall process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to Specially Serviced Loans
and shall also process waivers, modifications, amendments and consents that are Major Decisions or Special Servicer Decisions
with respect to


 






     -272-


     


    

 


any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan. Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a),
Section 3.08(b), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i),
Section 3.18(m) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder and, with respect
to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Whole Loan (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of
the related Companion Holder, as applicable, to advise or consult with the applicable Special Servicer with respect to, or to
consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement),
the applicable Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan (or
consent to any such modification, waiver or amendment) that would constitute a Major Decision without (x) (i) prior to the
occurrence of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing
Certificateholder, the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder having been obtained by the applicable Special
Servicer to the extent required by, and pursuant to the process described under, Section 6.08(a) or (y) (i) after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded
Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination
Event, the applicable Special Servicer having consulted with the Directing Certificateholder if and to the extent required pursuant
to Section 6.08(a); and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a)
shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the date provided for in the last paragraph of Section 3.18(b). If such extension
would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after
the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion
Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, (1) the
applicable Special Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Operating
Advisor, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder
and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event
and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party), with an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted
to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension
would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (x) prior to the occurrence and
continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder,
the applicable Special Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, (y) after the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation
Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, consult with
the Directing Certificateholder and (z) (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with
respect to any Specially Serviced Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and (ii)
after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than
an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, consult


 






     -273-


     


    

 


with the Risk Retention Consultation Party, in
each case, pursuant to the process described in Section 6.08(a).


 


Except
as otherwise described in this Agreement, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the applicable
Special Servicer will only be permitted to take any of the Special Servicer Decisions in clauses (iv), (v), (vi)
and (vii) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision” as to which the Directing Certificateholder
has consented in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to clause (vii) of the definition of “Special
Servicer Decision”, five (5) Business Days) after receipt of the applicable Special Servicer’s written recommendation
and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the applicable
Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent (provided that if such written consent has not been received
by the applicable Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day (or five (5) Business Day) period, the Directing Certificateholder
shall be deemed to have approved such action); provided, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination
Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded
Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder
with respect to any such Special Servicer Decision.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the applicable Master Servicer with respect to,
or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the applicable
Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, without the consent of the applicable Special Servicer or the Directing
Certificateholder, may modify or amend the terms of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in
order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be
inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or related
Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or
amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).


 


Any
fees or other charges charged by the applicable Special Servicer in connection with processing any Payment Accommodation with
respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (in the aggregate with each other such Payment Accommodation with respect
to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan), in each case as a result of the COVID-19 emergency, may not exceed an amount equal
to 0.30% of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (“COVID Forbearance Fees”)
(excluding attorneys’ fees and third party expenses) and may only be borne by the Mortgagor, not the Trust Fund. To the
extent that a Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan defaults under a Payment Accommodation, all caps
and limitations on fees, as described in the preceding sentence, shall no longer be applicable and the applicable Special Servicer
shall be entitled to all other fees that would otherwise be payable to such Special Servicer from the Trust Fund or otherwise,
including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees, default interest and all other Mortgagor-paid fees.


 


Subject
to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the
applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable


 






     -274-


     


    

 


Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any
portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion
Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or
default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special
Servicer, as the case may be, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation
to the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and
a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency
confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with
respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant
modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)
or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case
may be, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms
of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).


 


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


 


No
Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall enter into, or structure (including, without limitation, by way of the application of
credits, discounts, forgiveness or otherwise), any modification, waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval with respect
to a Mortgage Loan in a manner that would have the effect of placing amounts payable as compensation, or otherwise reimbursable,
to such Master Servicer or Special Servicer in a higher priority than the allocation and payment priorities set forth in Section
3.02(b) or in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(b)         
If the applicable Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness
or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the 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


 






     -275-


     


    

 


applicable Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an
Officer’s Certificate of such Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a
net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable,
the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan,
then the applicable Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject
to (w) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x)(a) with respect to any
Major Decision, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder
of the majority of the Controlling Class, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event) or upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) as
provided in Section 6.08, and (b) with respect to any Major Decision in respect of a Specially Serviced Loan other
than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, upon consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation
Party as provided in Section 6.08, (y) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, any rights of the related
Subordinate Companion Holder to consent to such modification, waiver or amendment and (z) additionally, with respect to a
Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan with
mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, to advise or consult with the applicable Special Servicer with respect
to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement
or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, if an AB
Control Appraisal Period is not in effect, the consent of, or consultation with, the related AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder
will be required to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder shall have
no consent or consultation rights, and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no consultation rights, regarding the
matter; provided, further, that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance),
the applicable Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant
modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause
an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the
Directing Certificateholder (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable
Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions
involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof,
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.


 


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


 






     -276-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     -277-


     


    

 


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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
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 applicable Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.05(a); provided that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the
case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted
under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable
Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment
of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the
next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan.


 


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


 


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


 


(g)         
With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18,
after completion, the applicable Special Servicer, shall deliver written notice thereof to the applicable Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination
Event), the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in the case of the Directing Certificateholder,
other than following the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and in the case of the Directing Certificateholder
or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party), the applicable
Companion Holder (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to
the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) (unless, with respect to a holder of an AB

Subordinate
Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect, if applicable), the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage
Loan Seller is not the applicable Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder or
the Risk Retention Consultation Party) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5
Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or
amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that is modified,
waived or amended and the date thereof. With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized
and executed) for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18, after completion, the applicable
Master Servicer, shall deliver written notice of any such modification, waiver or amendment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the applicable Special Servicer (and such Special Servicer shall forward such notice to the Directing Certificateholder (only
prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as
to such party) and the applicable Companion Holder (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in
a securitization transaction, to the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) (unless, with respect
to a holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect, if applicable)), the Risk Retention
Consultation Party (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to such party) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller (so long
as such Mortgage Loan Seller is not the applicable Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder
or Risk Retention Consultation Party) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information
Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)). The party responsible for delivering notice shall deliver

for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment,
promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution thereof, with a copy to the applicable Companion
Holder (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master
servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement),, if any. Following receipt of the applicable Master Servicer’s
or the applicable Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, delivery of the aforesaid modification, waiver or amendment to
the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall forward a copy thereof to each Holder of a Certificate (other
than the Class R or Class V Certificates). With respect to any modification, waiver or consent that is a Master Servicer
Decision pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”, if the related lease affects an
area greater than or equal to 10% of the net rentable area of the related Mortgaged Property and less than 30% of the net rentable
area of the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a copy of the approved lease.
With respect to any modification, waiver or consent that is a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (vii) of the definition
of “Master Servicer Decision”, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a copy of the approved annual
budget. With respect to the processing of any modification, waiver or consent related to any Mortgagor incurring additional debt
or mezzanine debt, the applicable Special Servicer (if such Special Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant
to Section 3.18(a)) or the applicable Master Servicer (if such Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver
or consent pursuant to Sections 3.18(a) and (m) shall, on or before the later of (i) 3:00 p.m. on the
related P&I Advance Date and (ii) five (5) Business Days immediately following the applicable Master Servicer or the

applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtaining actual knowledge of the incurrence of such additional debt or mezzanine
debt, deliver notice of the Mortgagor’s incurrence of such debt, substantially in the form of Exhibit JJ, to
cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com and an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit DD).
The notice contemplated in the preceding sentence shall set forth, to the extent the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable
Master Servicer, as the case may be, has the requisite information or can reasonably obtain such information, (1) the amount
of additional debt that was incurred in the related Collection Period, (2) the total debt service coverage ratio calculated
on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and additional debt, and (3) the aggregate LTV Ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage
Loan and additional debt. In the event that either (i) the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package is amended to
include such information set forth above, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable
Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and such 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 JJ shall no longer be required hereunder. From time
to time, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator may agree on a different
delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.


 


(h)         
Subject to the consent rights and processes set forth in Section 6.08 with respect to Major Decisions, each Master
Servicer shall process all defeasance transactions for the Mortgage Loans for which it acts as Master Servicer and shall be entitled
to all defeasance fees paid related thereto (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not
include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that any Special Servicer is entitled to under this
Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any
Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii)
and such Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents,
in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due,
(ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide
cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan or
Serviced Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable,
Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that
the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property;
provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion
Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to
the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall
establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent
permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the applicable Master Servicer
shall use its reasonable


 






     -280-


     


    

 


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 applicable 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 applicable
Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage
Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a
Cut-off Date Balance less than $35,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date
Balance of all Mortgage Loans a, and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans by Stated
Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in
clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage
Loan 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 applicable Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning
of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii)
for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable
(or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents or Serviced Whole
Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the applicable
Master Servicer reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably
foreseeable and the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer shall obtain Rating
Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result
in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if
any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency
Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to (i) all of the Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by Bank of America, National Association that
are subject to defeasance (other than the One North Wacker and Arizona Mills Mortgage Loans) and (ii) all of the Mortgage Loans
originated or acquired by Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC that are subject to defeasance, each of Bank of America,
National Association and Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, has transferred to a third party or has
retained on behalf of itself or an Affiliate the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and/or to purchase or
cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral, in each case as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
(any such right or obligation, the “Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the General
Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan for which Bank of America, National Association
or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, is the related Mortgage Loan Seller, which such Mortgage Loan
provides for Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall provide,
within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to Bank of America, National
Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan for which Bank
of America, National Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable, is the related Mortgage Loan
Seller. Until such time as Bank of America, National Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as applicable,
provides the Master Servicer with written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained
Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which (i) Bank of America, National Association is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall

With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated or acquired by Bank of America, National Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital
Holdings LLC, as applicable, that is subject to defeasance, if the successor borrower is not designated or formed by Bank of America,
National Association or Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as the case may be, or any Affiliate or successor thereto,
the successor borrower shall be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.


 


(j)          
If required under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard,
the applicable Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”),
which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all payments received by such Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted
for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the
Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan


 






     -282-


     


    

 


documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the applicable Master Servicer permit
such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested
by such Master Servicer in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii). To the extent not required or permitted
to be placed in a separate account, the applicable Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral
substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the applicable Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on
the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition
of “Aggregate Available Funds” and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the applicable Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the
applicable Collection Account for a period in excess of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366)
days in the case of a leap year).


 


(k)         
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall, unless it has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation
of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current
ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities (if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may
be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates
pursuant to Section 3.25) (the cost of which shall be paid by the related Mortgagor, if so allowed by the terms of
the related loan documents and otherwise paid out of general collections) grant or accept any consent, approval or direction regarding
the termination of the related property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager, with respect to any Mortgaged
Property that secures a Mortgage Loan that (i) is one of the ten (10) largest Mortgage Loans a by Stated Principal Balance
or (ii) has an unpaid principal balance that is at least equal to 5% of the then-aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage
Loans or $35,000,000.


 


(l)          
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any modification, waiver, consent or amendment
in connection with any release of collateral securing any Mortgage Loan in connection with a defeasance of such collateral, the
applicable Special Servicer shall not approve any such modification, waiver or amendment or consent thereto without first having
received a copy of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to such Special Servicer and the applicable Master Servicer that such modification,
waiver, consent or amendment will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.


 


(m)        
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.18 or Section 3.08, but subject to any related
Intercreditor Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer may, without any Directing Certificateholder’s approval, consent
or consultation (except as otherwise provided below in the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”), Risk Retention
Consultation Party’s consultation or the applicable Special Servicer’s approval, consent or consultation take any
of the following actions with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans (and in the case of clause (ix), a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan) (each such action, a “Master Servicer Decision”): (i) grant waivers of non-material covenant defaults
(other than financial covenants and receipt of financial statements, but including immaterial timing waivers such as with respect
to late financial


 






     -283-

to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, and prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required to grant
timing waivers of more than three (3) consecutive late deliveries of financial statements); (ii) consents to releases of
non-material, non-income producing parcels of a Mortgaged Property that do not materially affect the use or value of the related
Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan as and when due,
provided such releases are required by the related Mortgage Loan documents and there is no lender discretion permitted under the
Mortgage Loan documents; (iii) approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way (including, without limitation,
for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose) or subordination of the lien of the Mortgage Loan to easements
if the applicable Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with the proviso to the definition of “Special Servicer
Decision”, that such easements or rights of way do not materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a Mortgagor’s
ability to make payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan; (iv) grant subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreements and consents involving leasing activities that do not involve a ground lease and affect
an area less than or equal to the lesser of (a) 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property
and (b) 30,000 square feet of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property, including approval of new leases and amendments
to current leases; (v) approve or consent to actions and releases related to condemnation of parcels of a Mortgaged Property
if the applicable Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with the proviso to the definition of “Special Servicer
Decision”, that such condemnation is not with respect to a material parcel or a material income producing parcel and such

to pay amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan when due; (vi) consent to a change
in property management relating to any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan if the replacement property manager is

into any forbearance with respect to the anticipated refinancing of a Mortgage Loan or sale of a Mortgaged Property after the
related Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan so long as (A) such extension or forbearance does not extend beyond 120 days
after the related Maturity Date and (B) the related Mortgagor has delivered documentation reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, which provides that a refinancing of such
Mortgage Loan or sale of the related Mortgaged Property will occur within 120 days after the date on which such Balloon Payment
will become due; (ix) any non-material modification, amendment, consent to a non-material modification or waiver of any term
of any Intercreditor Agreement if the applicable Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with the proviso to the definition
of “Major Decision”, that such modification, amendment or consent is administrative in nature, including a note splitting
amendment, provided, that if any such modification or amendment would adversely impact the applicable Special Servicer, such modification
or amendment will additionally require the consent of the applicable Special Servicer as a condition to its effectiveness; (x) any
determination of Acceptable Insurance Default, except that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event
and other than in the case of any Excluded Loan as to


 






     -284-


     


    

 


the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling
Class, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) shall be required in accordance with this Agreement
for any such determination; (xi) approve or consent to any defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion
Loan other than agreeing to (A) a modification of the type of defeasance collateral required under the Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Whole Loan documents other than direct, non-callable obligations of the United States would be permitted or (B) a modification
that would permit a principal prepayment instead of defeasance if the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan documents do not otherwise
permit such principal prepayment; (xii) any determination to bring a Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental
laws or to otherwise address hazardous material located at a Mortgaged Property subject, prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder
of the majority of the Controlling Class, to the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, (xiii) any transfer
of the Mortgaged Property that the Mortgage Loan documents allow without the consent of the lender but subject to satisfaction
of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents where no lender discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions
are satisfied; (xiv) with respect to NCB Co-op Mortgage Loans, consent to the related Mortgagor incurring subordinate debt secured
by the related Mortgaged Property, subject to the satisfaction of the NCB Subordinate Debt Conditions with respect to such subordinate
debt; (xv) to the extent not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (x) of the definition of
“Major Decision” or clause (iii) of the definition of “Special Servicer Decision”, respectively,
approve any requests for the funding or disbursement of amounts from any escrow accounts, reserve funds or letters of credit held
as “performance”, “earn-out”, “holdback” or similar escrows or reserves where such request
is for the funding or disbursement of ordinary course impounds, repair and replacement reserves, lender approved budget and operating
expenses, and tenant improvements pursuant to an approved lease, or in the case of any NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, any other escrow
funds, reserve funds or other additional collateral with respect to such Mortgage Loan, each in accordance with the Mortgage Loan
documents (all such fundings and disbursements being collectively referred to as “Routine Disbursements”) or
any other funding or disbursement as mutually agreed upon by the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer;
provided, however, that in the case of any Mortgage Loan (other than an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan) whose escrows, reserves, holdbacks
and related letters of credit exceed, in the aggregate, at the related origination date, 10% of the initial principal balance
of such Mortgage Loan (which Mortgage Loans are identified on Schedule 3 hereto), no such funding or disbursement of such
escrows, reserves, holdbacks or letters of credit will be deemed to constitute a Routine Disbursement, and will instead constitute
Special Servicer Decisions, except for the routine funding of tax payments and insurance premiums when due and payable and except
for any such funding or disbursement as to which the related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for lender discretion; and
(xvi) grant or agree to any other waiver, modification, amendment and/or consent that does not constitute a Major Decision or
a Special Servicer Decision; provided that (w) any such action would not in any way affect a payment term of the Certificates,
(x) any such action would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Trust to the extent not
reimbursed or paid by the related Mortgagor), to the extent requesting such opinion is consistent with the Servicing Standard),
(y) agreeing to such action would be consistent with the Servicing


 






     -285-


     


    

 


Standard, and (z) agreeing to such action would not
violate the terms, provisions or limitations of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement; provided, further, that, with respect
to any Serviced AB Whole Loan if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect with regard to such Serviced AB Whole Loan, the
foregoing matters shall not include (and Master Servicer Decision shall not include) any action that constitutes a “major
decision” under the related Intercreditor Agreement. In the case of any Master Servicer Decision that requires the consent
of the Directing Certificateholder, such consent shall be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided
within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the applicable Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and
all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the applicable Master Servicer
in order to grant or withhold such consent. In connection with the processing by the applicable Master Servicer of any Master
Servicer Decision, after completion thereof, the applicable Master Servicer shall deliver notice thereof to the Special Servicer
(and the Special Servicer shall promptly, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and other
than in respect of any Excluded Loan as to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class,
deliver notice thereof to the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent that the Directing Certificateholder notifies
the Special Servicer that the Directing Certificateholder does not desire to receive copies of such items) and the Risk Retention
Consultation Party (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party). The foregoing is intended to be an itemization
of actions the applicable Master Servicer may take without having to obtain the approval of any other party and is not intended
to limit the responsibilities of the applicable Master Servicer hereunder.


 


(n)         
No Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall modify any Mortgage Loan into an AB Modified Loan unless the documents evidencing
such modification provide that all payments on the junior or “B” portion of such AB Modified Loan (including interest,
principal and other amounts) shall only be payable after the point in time at which all interest and principal on the senior or
“A” portion of such AB Modified Loan shall have been paid in full and such senior or “A” portion shall
no longer be outstanding; provided, however, that interest and other amounts in respect of such junior or “B” portion
may accrue prior to such point in time.


 


In
addition to the foregoing, the applicable Special Servicer shall be allowed to grant a forbearance if (i) prior to October 1,
2021 (or prior to a later date provided by the IRS in any future guidance), the period of forbearance granted, when added to any
prior periods of forbearance granted before or after the Trust acquired such Mortgage Loan (whether or not such prior grants of
forbearance were covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended by Revenue Procedure 2021-12)), does not exceed six (6) months
(or such longer period of time as may be allowed by future guidance that is binding on federal income tax authorities) or the
applicable forbearance program pursuant to which the related forbearance was granted is otherwise identical or similar to those
described in Section 2.07 of Revenue Procedure 2020-26 and such forbearance is covered by Revenue Procedure 2020-26 (as extended
by Revenue Procedure 2021-12), (ii) such forbearance is permitted under another provision of this Agreement and the requirements
under such provision are satisfied, or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the effect that such forbearance will not result
in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Event has occurred with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, the applicable
Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall promptly give notice to the applicable Master Servicer
or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder (in the case

the applicable Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise available to such Master Servicer without undue burden or expense,
and reasonably requested by the applicable Special Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto.
Such Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the
occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event (or, in the case of clauses (iii), (iv), (viii) or (ix)
of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice from the applicable Special
Servicer of such Servicing Transfer Event when such Special Servicer makes the determination) and in any event shall continue
to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan until
such Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan.
The applicable Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Directing
Certificateholder (with respect to the Directing Certificateholder (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation

Transfer Event provided by the applicable Master Servicer to the applicable Special Servicer, or by the applicable Special Servicer
to the applicable Master Servicer, pursuant to this Section 3.19. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation
Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each Controlling Class Certificateholder a copy of the notice
of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the applicable Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.19.


 


Upon
determining that a Specially Serviced Loan (other than an REO Loan) has become current and has remained current for three (3)
consecutive Periodic Payments (provided that (i) no additional Servicing Transfer Event is foreseeable in the reasonable
judgment of the applicable Special Servicer, and (ii) for such purposes taking into account any modification or amendment
of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan), and that no other Servicing Transfer Event is continuing
with respect thereto, the applicable Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the applicable Master Servicer,
the Operating Advisor, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless with respect to an AB Subordinate Companion Loan an AB
Control Appraisal Period is in effect) and the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, (i) prior
to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan
as to such party) and shall return the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the applicable Master Servicer (or copies thereof
if copies only were delivered to the applicable Special Servicer) and upon giving such notice, and returning such Mortgage File
and Servicing File to such Master Servicer, such


 






     -287-


     


    

 


Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Corrected Loan shall terminate
and the obligations of such 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer), and provide the applicable
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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer with any information in its possession with respect
to such records to enable such Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided that this statement
shall not be construed to require such Master Servicer to produce any additional reports.


 


(d)         
No later than sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Companion
Loan, the applicable 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 applicable
Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (but with respect to the Directing Certificateholder, only in respect of any
Mortgage Loan other than (A) any Excluded Loan as to such party or (B) any Serviced AB Whole Loan if an AB Control Appraisal Period
is not in effect, and in any event prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any related Subordinate
Companion Holder if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, the Risk Retention
Consultation Party (but only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party), the Operating Advisor
(but, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority
of the Controlling Class, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and, with respect
to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, only to the extent that such Whole Loan is subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period) and the 17g-5
Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with
Section 3.13(c)) and, with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the related Companion Holder or, to
the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the applicable master servicer
of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold; the applicable 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. Each Final Asset Status Report
shall be labeled or otherwise identified or communicated as being final by the applicable Special Servicer. For the avoidance
of doubt, no Master Servicer shall make any Asset Status Reports available to any Certificateholders on its website. None of the
parties to this Agreement shall provide any Asset Status Report or any Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator.
The applicable Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor of whether any


 






     -288-


     


    

 


Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating
Advisor is a Final Asset Status Report, which notification may be satisfied by (i) delivery of an Asset Status Report that is
either signed by the Directing Certificateholder or that otherwise includes an indication that such Asset Status Report is deemed
approved due to the passage of any required consent or consultation time period or (ii) such other method as reasonably agreed
to by the Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer. Further, the Certificate Administrator shall not request any
Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report from any Master Servicer. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following
information to the extent reasonably determinable based on the information that was delivered to the applicable 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)

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 (or with respect to residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedule), and income or operating
statement available for the related Mortgaged Property;


 


(iv)       
(A) the applicable 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 applicable
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 applicable Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;


 


(v)

forth such Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives;


 


(viii)

and (y) the net present value calculation and all related assumptions;

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 applicable Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard
that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the applicable Special Servicer within ten (10) Business
Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective
whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), the applicable Special Servicer
shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the applicable
Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable
Mortgage Loan documents. If, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder
or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event,
the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the applicable
Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Consultation Termination Event and, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Consultation Termination Event and if an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect with respect to the related AB 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 Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the
Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of
any Control Termination Event, the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer makes
a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders
and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate
nature of any Companion Loan); provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved the Asset Status Report
for a period of sixty (60) Business Days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the applicable Special Servicer
may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report, if consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided,
however, that


 






     -290-


     


    

 


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


 


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 applicable
Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the applicable Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced
Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 applicable
Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the applicable Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.


 


Prior
to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver each Final Asset
Status Report to the Operating Advisor promptly following the approval or deemed approval of the Directing Certificateholder.


 


If
a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, if both a Control
Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect), the applicable Special
Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the
Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing
and such Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party)). The Operating Advisor shall provide comments to
the applicable Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following the
later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably
requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it
determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are
holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The applicable Special Servicer shall consider such
alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder
(in each case, if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially


 



 






     -291-


     


    

 


Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) in connection with
the applicable Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The applicable Special Servicer may revise the
Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and the Directing
Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Specially Serviced Loan is not
an Excluded Loan as to such party)), to the extent the applicable Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s
and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the
best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of
the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu
or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)). Promptly upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to
take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Special
Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Certificateholder
the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued) or provide notice that the Special Servicer has
decided not to revise such Asset Status Report, as applicable.


 


After
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with
respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class), the Directing Certificateholder
shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.19. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event,
the Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party or any Serviced AB Whole Loan if an
AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect) and the Operating Advisor shall consult with the applicable Special Servicer and
propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. The Directing Certificateholder
(other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) (in each case, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation
Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party)), shall have no right to receive any Asset
Status Report or otherwise consult with the applicable Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the applicable
Special Servicer shall only be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described
above. The applicable Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance
with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder
during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating
Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect with respect to an AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the applicable
Special Servicer shall prepare an Asset Status Report for any Serviced AB Whole Loan, upon it becoming a Specially Serviced Loan
pursuant to this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, but the Directing Certificateholder will have no approval
rights over any such Asset Status Report, and the consent or approval rights with respect to such Asset Status Report shall be
as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

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

 

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

 

(f)           Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as to such party) a draft notice that will include a draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which briefly summarizes such Final Asset Status Report, but shall not include any Privileged Information) (and shall deliver each Asset Status Report with respect to a Serviced AB Mortgage Loan if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect (to the extent approved by the related AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), to the Directing Certificateholder). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such draft summary, the Directing Certificateholder approves of, or does not disapprove of such draft summary, then the applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder approves such draft summary; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved of the draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the applicable Special Servicer prior to such twentieth (20th) Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any time the applicable Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Certificateholder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan), pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the 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.

Section 3.20    Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a) Each Master Servicer and each 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g)); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer, as applicable, (other than the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer that enters into such Sub-Servicing Agreement) any successor master servicer or successor special servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust except through the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, if and only to the extent provided pursuant to Section 6.04; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan; (vii) does not permit the

Sub-Servicer to take any action constituting a Major Decision without the consent of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable (which consent shall not be granted except in accordance with Section 6.08); (viii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party and (ix) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor under Article XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the applicable master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to. Any successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the applicable predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (subject to Section 3.20(g)). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the applicable Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the applicable Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of each Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the applicable Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the applicable Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the applicable Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the applicable Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, each Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by

 




-295-



 



 

it receives such payment. The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee and the Depositor (and such Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that a Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(e)          Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the applicable Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. 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 applicable Master Servicer, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

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

 

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

 

(i)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Special Servicer shall enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement that provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the applicable Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

(b)          Once a Directing Certificateholder has been selected, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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 such Directing Certificateholder, by Certificate Balance, or the Directing Certificateholder shall have notified the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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.

The foregoing provisions shall not be applicable to the Directing Certificateholder that is a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder. Additionally, once a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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 Holders of the RR Interest entitled to appoint the Risk Retention Consultation Party, by Certificate Balance, or such Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have notified each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Holder of the RR Interest, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

-299-



 



 

identified to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of the Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as the case may be.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

(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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 G Certificates and the Class G Certificates are the Controlling Class, such Controlling Class Certificateholder 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in existence solely as a result of the operation of clause (ii) of the definition

 




-301-



 



 

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

 

(m)         Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include on its statement made available pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement the identity of the new Controlling Class and (ii) provide to each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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, each applicable Master Servicer and each applicable 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. Any party hereto may at any time request from the Certificate Administrator written confirmation of whether there existed a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event during the preceding calendar year and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver such confirmation to such party within 10 days of such request.

 

In the event that a Control Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class G Certificates to less than 25% of the aggregate Original Certificate Balance thereof, with regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

 

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, such special notice shall state “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class G Certificates to less than 25% of the aggregate Original Certificate Balance thereof, without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

 




-302-



 



 

In the event that a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of each of such terms, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by the applicable Controlling Class Certificateholder of its rights as Controlling Class Certificateholder.”

 

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

 

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

 

The Directing Certificateholder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to either the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class. Notwithstanding the proviso to each of the definitions of “Control Termination Event” and “Consultation Termination Event”, in either such case, in respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event will each be deemed to have occurred with respect to any such Excluded Loan as to such party.

 

The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan as to either such Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Holder of the majority of the RR Interest.

 

Section 3.24    Intercreditor Agreements. (a) Each 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 applicable Master Servicer and each applicable 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

 




-303-



 



 

to such action. Each applicable Master Servicer and each applicable 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 Master Servicer and each Special Servicer further acknowledges and agrees that any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right to replace the applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender, neither such Master Servicer nor such 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement.

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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, be required to consult with or obtain the consent of a new Directing Certificateholder or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or consult with a new Risk Retention Consultation Party unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(e) or such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, have actual knowledge of the identity and contact information of a new Directing Certificateholder, a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

 

(c)          No direction or disapproval of the Companion Holders or any mezzanine lender shall (a) require or cause the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including such Master Servicer’s or such 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 applicable Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the applicable Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

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

 

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

Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

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

 

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

 

(i)           With respect to the Serviced AB Whole Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Directing Certificateholder hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related AB Subordinate Companion Holder or its representative or is exercisable in conjunction with the related AB Subordinate Companion Holder, then the Directing Certificateholder shall not be permitted to exercise such right. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with, seek the approval of, or obtain the consent of the AB Subordinate Companion Holder or its representative with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of the related Subordinate Companion Loan to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of or consultation with such AB Subordinate Companion Holder or its representative without such consent or consultation (or deemed consent or consultation).

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

 

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the replacement master servicer or special servicer is listed on S&P’s Select Servicer List as a “U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer” or “U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer”, as applicable, if S&P is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the replacement master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the replacement special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns with respect to the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other CMBS transaction serviced by such replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency.

 

Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement,

 




-307-



 



 

shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)          With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as to which there exists Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the related Whole Loan or any related REO Property (including, but not limited to, the replacement of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or a sub-servicer) (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then such action will also require delivery of a confirmation of each Companion Loan Rating Agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.25) as a condition precedent to such action, which confirmation shall be sought by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action.

 

Section 3.26    The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) all information made available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (A) that relates to any Specially Serviced Loan, and (B) that is contained in the CREFC®

Servicer Watch List prepared by the applicable Master Servicer and (ii) each Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the applicable Special Servicer.

 

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

 

(c)          (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating Advisor by such Special Servicer, including each Asset Status Report delivered during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if any Mortgage Loans (other than Servicing Shift Mortgage Loans) were Specially Serviced Loans during the prior calendar year) deliver to the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year for which a Control Termination Event was continuing as of December 31, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans (other than Servicing Shift Mortgage Loans) that the applicable Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement; provided, further, however, that in the event the applicable Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to such Special Servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance in respect of such Serviced AB Whole Loan until an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(c), each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the applicable Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the applicable Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or 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); provided that the Operating Advisor shall not be required to report on any instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the applicable Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, to be immaterial. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the applicable trustee, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Rating Agencies, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)); provided, however, that the applicable Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the applicable Special Servicer. The Operating Advisor Annual Report will be prepared on the basis of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, taking into account the applicable Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of the items required to be reviewed by it pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor with respect to any calendar year as to which no Final Asset Status Report was prepared by the applicable Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property.

 

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

 

(d)          With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan), 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 a Control Termination Event and if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect), the applicable Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount and net present value calculations used in the applicable Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or

liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Operating Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not opine on or take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations (except that if the Operating Advisor discovers a material mathematical error contained in such calculations, them the Operating Advisor shall notify the applicable Special Servicer of such error).

 

(e)          (i) With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan), 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 a Control Termination Event and if an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the applicable Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amount (if the applicable Special Servicer has calculated any such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount) or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the applicable Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information 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 (if calculated by the applicable Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The applicable Master Servicer shall cooperate with such Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by such Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount that is either in its possession or, solely with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by the applicable Master Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Operating Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply and shall provide such parties prompt written notice of its determination. With respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of net present value, Collateral Deficiency Amount or Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations

 




-311-



 



 

as described above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation will not take into account the reasonableness of Special Servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value, Collateral Deficiency Amount or Appraisal Reduction Amount calculation.

 

(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 a Control Termination Event (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class) and an AB Control Appraisal Period is in effect.

 

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor will be limited to an after-the-action review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Final Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the applicable Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the Operating Advisor), and, therefore, it shall have no specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, lockbox management, insurance policies, borrower substitutions, lease changes, additional borrower debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions and other similar actions that such Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement.

 

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

 

(h)          Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating

Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).

 

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

 

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.04(a) and/or 6.04(b), such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents, and in no event will it take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection. The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable 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 Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property or (ii) any Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

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

 

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

(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, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

 

(o)          In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the RR Interest and the Class X-F, Class F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class V 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, or a “broker” or “dealer” within the meaning of the Exchange Act. Furthermore, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligations or responsibility at any time to review the actions of a Master Servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor shall not be required to consider such Master Servicer actions in connection with any Operating Advisor Annual Report.

 

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

 

(s)          The Operating Advisor shall at all times be an Eligible Operating Advisor and if the Operating Advisor ceases to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign under Section 3.26(n) of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor operating advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.26. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor operating advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement.

 

(t)           The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties and obligations to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement related to the Operating Advisor’s duties and obligations; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with a Sponsor, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the 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.

Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

 

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

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

-320-



 



 

not repurchase the Mortgage Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.30 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 13.01(l), of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth in this Section 3.30 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or more of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased from the Trust and at least one other Mortgage Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 3.30, Section 13.01(l) and Section 13.08(a) only, “Mortgage Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, clauses (b)–(j) below shall not apply, and the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement shall continue to govern the relationship between the related Mortgage Notes as if each related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable. With respect to any other Joint Mortgage Loan, clauses (b)–(j) below shall apply to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

 

(b)          Custody of and record title under the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan shall be held exclusively by the Custodian as provided under this Agreement or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Non-Serviced Custodian as provided under the related Non-Serviced PSA, except that the Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall hold and retain title to its original Repurchased Note(s) and any related endorsements thereof.

 

(i)           All of the Mortgage Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority with each other, and no portion of any Mortgage Note shall have priority or preference over any other portion of the other Mortgage Notes or security therefor. Payments from the related Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any Penalty Charges) or any other amounts received with respect to each Mortgage Note shall be collected as provided in this Agreement by the applicable Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by such Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received with respect to the related Repurchased Note shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and remitted (net of its pro rata share of amounts payable at the Administrative Cost Rate and any other amounts due to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee by the applicable Master Servicer on each Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this Agreement, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies becomes an REO Loan, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the applicable Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.30(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject

 




-321-



 



 

to this Section 3.30 shall be allocated to each related Mortgage Note pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof.

 

(ii)          If the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive from such Master Servicer an amount equal to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the applicable Mortgage Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Mortgage Notes pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof. In no event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Mortgage Loan or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

(iii)         A Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies shall be serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Whole Loan, (B) the related Mortgage Note(s) not repurchased were (1) a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and (2) the only Mortgage Loan that is part of such Joint Mortgage Loan (or related Serviced Whole Loan), and (C) the related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. No Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to terminate the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as servicer, special servicer or operating advisor, respectively, of the related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(iv)         With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan holder on a pari passu basis. Funds collected by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to holders of promissory notes comprising Serviced Whole Loans that are pari passu in right of payment. Compensation shall be paid to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with respect to each Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement as if each such Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to any Repurchased Note or, if no related

Mortgage Note is part of the Trust, a Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise specified herein, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with respect to any Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller any document as is required to be delivered to a holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan hereunder.

 

(c)          If any non-repurchased Mortgage Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies is a Specially Serviced Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially Serviced Loan under this Agreement. The applicable Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee payable to such Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(d)          If (A) the applicable Master Servicer shall pay any amount to any Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the terms hereof in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection with any or all of the applicable Mortgage Notes and (B) such related payment is not received or collected by such Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by such Master Servicer return such amount to such Master Servicer. If such Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by such Master Servicer in respect of any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.30 applies must be returned to the related Mortgagor or paid to any other person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, and such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by such Master Servicer repay (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that such Master Servicer shall have distributed to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Master Servicer may pay to the related Mortgagor or such other person or entity with respect thereto.

 

(e)          With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.30 applies, subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder and any consultation rights of the Operating Advisor), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all decisions and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable Mortgage Loan documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related Mortgagor on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 3.30, without the consent of the related

Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(f)          In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loans that are not Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and to which this Section 3.30 applies as is consistent with this Agreement and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller only to the same extent as set forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(g)          If the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer has made a Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust in an amount equal to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller’s Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such Nonrecoverable Advance with interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any amounts related to any Mortgage Loans or any other Joint Mortgage Loan other than such amounts relating to the applicable Repurchased Note. To the extent that the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such amounts are subsequently recovered, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery based on its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such recovery. This reimbursement right shall not limit the Trustee’s, the applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s rights to reimbursement under this Agreement.

On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount or Retained Certificate Interest Distribution Amount, as applicable, in respect of each Class of Related Certificates or Related Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest plus a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LASB, Class LA4 and Class LA5 Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LAS and Class LB Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-B Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LD and Class LE Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-D Certificates, (iv) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-F Certificates, (v) in the case of the Class LG Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-G

Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

 

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates or Related Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as provided in Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(c). The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The Pass-Through Rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest for any Distribution Date shall be the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date.

 

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

 

(d)         After the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Class shall not be entitled to any further distributions in respect of interest or principal other than reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, 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 (but excluding any related Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period, in each case net of any Liquidation Fees or Workout Fees payable therefrom, shall be distributable as follows: if any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any particular Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date corresponding to that Collection Period, the Certificate Administrator shall pay that Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium (net of Liquidation Fees or Workout Fees payable therefrom) in the following manner:

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

 




-339-



 



 

will equal zero; and (c) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is less than the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction shall be equal to 1.0. If a Mortgage Loan provides for a step-up in the Mortgage Rate, then the Mortgage Rate used in the determination of the Base Interest Fraction will be the Mortgage Rate in effect at the time of the prepayment.

 

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

 

No Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium shall be distributed to the Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R or Class V Certificates.

 

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

 

(f)           On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) equal to the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date. The Certificate Administrator shall deposit such amounts in the Distribution Account for distribution pursuant to Section 4.01(a) to the Holders of the Regular Certificates (other than the RR Interest) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests (and correspondingly, the Exchangeable Certificates) in order of distribution priority (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests). Amounts paid in reimbursement of Realized Losses shall not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions. Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future Realized Losses with respect to

 




-340-



 



 

the Principal Balance Certificates and related Realized Losses in each case allocable to the Regular Certificates (other than the RR Interest) and the Exchangeable Certificates. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

 

In addition, on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) equal to the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date. The Certificate Administrator shall deposit such amounts in the Distribution Account for distribution pursuant to Section 4.01(b) to the Holders of the RR Interest (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interest). Amounts paid in reimbursement of Retained Certificate Realized Losses shall not reduce the Certificate Balance of the RR Interest if it receives such distributions. Any amounts remaining in the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future Retained Certificate Realized Losses with respect to the RR Interest. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Retained Certificate Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

 

(g)          All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in 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 or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, any Master Servicer, any 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 or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made
on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date,
post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to
the effect that:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(i)         Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated
to the Regular Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a),
Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(d), as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class otherwise entitled
to distributions of interest and principal on such Class on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions
in reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to a Class of
Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement
thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice
of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.05 at such last address. The
amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates
surrendered thereby.


 



    -342-


     


    

 


 If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside
and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact
such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(h) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.


 


(j)         On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related Collection Period with respect to any ARD Loans shall
be distributed (i) to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates in an amount equal to the Non-Retained Percentage of
such Excess Interest and (ii) to the Holders of the RR Interest in an amount equal to the Required Credit Risk Retention
Percentage of such Excess Interest, in each case, from the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Excess Interest will not be available
to pay any other amounts except for distributions on Excess Interest Certificates and the RR Interest as set forth in the prior
sentence.


 


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


 


(i)         to pay to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into the applicable Collection Account, as applicable, any amounts deposited
by such Master Servicer in the Companion Distribution Account not required to be deposited therein;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


All
distributions from the Companion Distribution Account required hereunder shall be made by the Companion Paying Agent to the related
Companion Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date (and on each additional
date required by this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the account of such Companion Holder or an agent therefor
appearing on the Serviced Companion Noteholder Register on the related Record Date (or, if no such account so appears or information
relating thereto is not provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check sent by first class
mail to the address of such Companion Holder or its agent appearing on the Serviced Companion Noteholder Register). Any such account
shall be located at a commercial bank in the United States.

Upon
receipt of an Asset Review Report Summary from the Asset Representations Reviewer required to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.01(b),

 (i) include such Asset Review Report Summary in Item 1B on the Form 10-D for

Certificate Administrator’s Website not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary

(b)        [RESERVED].


 


(c)        Each applicable Master Servicer and each applicable Special Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic
media, bulletin board service or Internet website (in addition to making information available as provided herein) any reports
or other information such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any
party to this Agreement, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder or any prospective Certificateholder that has provided such
Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through”
confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 3.13 (which may be a licensed or registered investment advisor)
to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, any requirements to
keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. Notwithstanding this paragraph,
the availability of such information or reports on the Internet or similar electronic media shall not be deemed to satisfy any
specific delivery requirements in this Agreement except as set forth herein. In connection with providing access to the applicable
Master Servicer’s Internet website, such Master Servicer shall take reasonable measures to ensure that only such parties
listed above may access such information including, without limitation, requiring registration, a confidentiality agreement and
acceptance of a disclaimer. No Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be liable for dissemination of this
information in accordance with this Agreement, and no Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be responsible for any information
delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Section 3.13 and Section 4.02(a), other than information
produced by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that such information otherwise meets
the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The applicable Master
Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this Section 4.02(c), any reasonable disclaimer
with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.


 


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

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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



    -349-


     


    

 


 Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder,
as applicable, is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably
acceptable to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Directing Certificateholder
or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which
such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable
Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class
Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that the
Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to
a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f)
shall include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).


 


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

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


 


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


 


No
Special Servicer shall have an obligation to make any P&I Advance or any recoverability determination with respect to any
P&I Advance under this Agreement.


 


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


 


(c)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance
would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master
Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make its determination that a P&I Advance that has been made
on such Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Other Servicer or
Other Trustee, as the case may be, under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect of the related Serviced
Companion Loan. If the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that a proposed P&I
Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Serviced Mortgage
Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the


 



    -351-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 



    -352-


     


    

 


 Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan unless and until such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances
with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may
be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as
the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or
the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I
Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


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


 


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


 






    -353-


     


    

 


(f)         For the avoidance of doubt, each master servicer shall make P&I Advances on the basis of the original terms of any Mortgage
Loan, including Mortgage Loans subject to forbearance agreements or other temporary deferrals or payment accommodations, unless
(a) the terms of the Mortgage Loan have been permanently modified to reduce or forgive a monetary obligation or (b) such advance
has been determined to be non-recoverable.


 


Section 4.04        Allocation
of Realized Losses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date
pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Realized Loss and Retained
Certificate Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized
Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest shall be
made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses or Retained Certificate
Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates shall be allocated among the
respective Certificates of such Class of Regular Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates in proportion to the Percentage
Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses or Retained Certificate Realized Losses shall constitute an
allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses and
Retained Certificate Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an
additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the applicable Class of Certificates or Upper-Tier Regular Interest in
respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than any
Exchangeable Certificates) and Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances
(plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a
reduction of the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount (and corresponding to a reduction of the Principal Distribution
Amount and Retained Certificate Principal Distribution Amount) are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the
amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of such Principal Balance
Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests that previously were allocated Realized Losses and
Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, and in the case of Realized Losses, in sequential order according to the
priority of payments for such Principal Balance Certificates (other than the RR Interest) and Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I
Regular Interests (and with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-4 and
Class A-5 Upper-Tier Regular Interests (and, correspondingly, to the Class A-4, Class A-4-1, Class A-4-2, Class A-5, Class
A-5-1 and Class A-5-2 Certificates, pro rata in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests in the Class A-4
Upper-Tier Regular Interest or the Class A-5 Upper-Tier Regular Interest, as applicable), on a pro rata basis
according to the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses on such Classes), in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed
Realized Losses and Retained Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, allocated to such Class of Principal Balance
Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests.


 


(b)        (i) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than any Exchangeable
Certificates and the RR Interest) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests will be reduced without distribution,
as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates or Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular
Interests with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write-off shall be allocated in Reverse Sequential Order.


 






    -354-


     


    

 


(ii)        On
each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of the RR Interest will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the
extent of any Retained Certificate Realized Losses with respect to such Distribution Date.


 


(iii)       Any
Realized Losses applied to the Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B or Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be
allocated to the corresponding Classes of Exchangeable Certificates with Certificate Balances that represent an interest therein
pro rata to reduce their Certificate Balances in accordance with their Class Percentage Interests therein.


 


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


 


Section 4.05       
Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling
Class (and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights
of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Allocated Appraisal
Reduction Amounts and Allocated Collateral Deficiency Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated
to the related Mortgage Loan) shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates (other than the RR Interest and any Exchangeable
Certificates) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate
Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class H
Certificates, second, to the Class G Certificates, third, to the Class F Certificates, fourth,
to the Class E Certificates, fifth, to the Class D Certificates, sixth, to the Class C Upper-Tier
Regular Interest, seventh, to the Class B Upper-Tier Regular Interest, eighth, to the Class A-S Upper-Tier
Regular Interest, and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-SB Certificates and the Class A-4 and Class A-5 Upper-Tier Regular Interests). Allocated Appraisal
Reduction Amounts and Allocated Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to any Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest as set
forth above will be allocated to the Classes of Exchangeable P&I Certificates representing interests therein pro rata
in accordance with their respective Class Percentage Interests in such Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest.


 


Appraisal
Reduction Amounts and Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan will be allocated between the
RR Interest on the one hand and the Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates, on the other hand, based on the Required
Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Non-Retained Percentage, respectively.


 


As
of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall
calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent
Appraisal obtained by the applicable Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to
a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the applicable Special Servicer
that a Non-Serviced Mortgage


 



    -355-


     


    

 


 Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately
preceding clause (i) that the applicable Special Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral
Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the
Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession relevant
to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement
that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the applicable Special Servicer
thereof. Upon reasonable prior written request, the applicable Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Special Servicer with
information in its possession or, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by the applicable Master
Servicer that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. Each applicable Master Servicer,
the Operating Advisor (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and the applicable Special Servicer has
calculated any such Collateral Deficiency Amount), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not calculate or verify
any Collateral Deficiency Amount.


 


For
purposes of determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, Allocated
Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to an AB Modified Loan will be allocated to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates
in Reverse Sequential Order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class
of Control Eligible Certificates is reduced to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class
or the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated
both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which shall constitute the
applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with this Section 4.05(a), but only to the extent
of the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.


 


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


 


The
applicable Special Servicer shall promptly notify the applicable Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, to the extent
it receives such information, of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting
Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which notification
shall be satisfied through delivery of such Appraisal Reduction Amount as included in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction
Amount Template included


 



    -356-


     


    

 


 in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package with respect to the Collateral Deficiency Amount
and the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount) and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of such Appraisal
Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate
Administrator’s Website. Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time
to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class,
the Certificate Administrator shall notify the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor
of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder and the identity
of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m) (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository
being an expense of the Trust).


 


(b)        (i) The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time
of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class because its Certificate Balance has been reduced to less than 25% of its
initial Certificate Balance (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction
Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as applicable) in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to
require the applicable Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the applicable Special
Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or
Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount
(such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The applicable Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts
to cause such second Appraisal to be delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request
and shall cause such Appraisal to be prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI
appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting
the applicable Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal). With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable
Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second Appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special
Servicer.


 


In
addition, the Requesting Holders of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the applicable
Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency
Amount if an event has occurred at, or with respect to, the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have
a material effect on its or their appraised value. The applicable Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such
additional Appraisal to be delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and
shall cause such Appraisal to be prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser
may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the applicable
Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal).


 


(ii)        Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the applicable Special Servicer shall determine,
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation
of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount (as applicable) is


 



    -357-


     


    

 


 warranted, and if so warranted, such Person
shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal
and receipt of information that is in the possession of the Master Servicer and reasonable requested by the Special Servicer from
the Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and
each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required
by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, Allocated 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 applicable Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i)
above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the applicable Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the
Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the applicable Special Servicer recalculates
the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal
Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the next
most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any.


 


(c)        With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan, and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred
(unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment
or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the applicable Special Servicer shall
(1) within thirty (30) days of the occurrence or of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon
its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the applicable Master Servicer
of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the
cost of which shall be paid by such 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)(i) above),
shall deliver a copy thereof to the applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor
and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect
to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to such party) the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or
internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and receipt of information
reasonably requested by the applicable Special Servicer from the applicable Master Servicer and necessary to calculate the Appraisal
Reduction Amount, the applicable Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the applicable
Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance
of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan as to
such party) the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or
Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable,
and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template format; provided, however,
that the 


 



    -358-


     


    

 


applicable Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results
from a failure of the applicable Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to such Special Servicer to comply with such
duties or failure by such Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Following a Master Servicer’s
receipt from the applicable Special Servicer of the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, such Master Servicer shall
provide such information to the Certificate Administrator in the form of the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File and
the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template provided to it by the applicable Special Servicer, and the Certificate
Administrator will calculate the Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount and the Allocated Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount.
Such report of the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be promptly forwarded by the applicable Special Servicer to the holder
of any related Serviced Companion Loan (or if applicable, to the Other Master Servicer of the securitization into which such Serviced
Pari Passu Companion Loan has been sold). If the applicable Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction
Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount shall replace
the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion
Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and unless
the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Loan as to such party), the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing
Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount
or Collateral Deficiency Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the applicable Special
Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage
Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the
applicable Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement),
as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the applicable Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable,
in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan;
provided that the applicable 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
applicable Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the applicable Special Servicer any information in its possession
or, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, reasonably obtainable by the applicable Master Servicer that is reasonably required
to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount, using
reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the applicable Special Servicer’s
reasonable request therefor; provided that such Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not
relieve such Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to such Special Servicer
within four (4) Business Days following such Special Servicer’s reasonable request. The applicable Master Servicer shall
not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.


 


(d)        Any Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan previously subject to an Appraisal
Reduction Amount and Allocated Appraisal Reduction Amount, which has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into


 



    -359-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


Section 4.06       
Grantor Trust Reporting. (a) The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, shall
constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust”
under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with
this intention. In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to
vary the investment of the Holders of the Class V Certificates or the RR Interest in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their
rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and
the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect
of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service
Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements
in the following clause, (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the Class V Certificates and the RR
Interest, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account,
in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code, and (C) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the
Exchangeable Certificates, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Exchangeable Upper-Tier REMIC Regular
Interests, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.


 


(b)        As of the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator shall report as required under
the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do
so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume
that Hare & Co. LLC is the only “middleman” as defined in the WHFIT Regulations unless and until the Depositor
provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate
Administrator shall be entitled to


 



    -360-


     


    

 


 indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal
Revenue Service makes a determination that the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.


 


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


 


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


 


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

Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry; and Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. (a) The Certificate
Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A Forum”

 Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator
or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related
Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward
the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the General Master Servicer to the following: REAM_InvestorRelations@wellsfargo.com),
in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the applicable
Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless
such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of such Master Servicer,
such Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic
mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable
efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable;
provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure
to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation
or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.
If the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines,
in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering
any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would
be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would
materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the applicable Master Servicer, the
applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry
would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) that answering
the Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of attorney
work product or (vii) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer
such Inquiry and, in the case of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall
promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any
direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention
Consultation Party) as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted
such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who
submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement provides that a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall not
answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics
described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust
and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the applicable Mortgage
Loan documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional costs
or expenses to the Trustee, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Operating Advisor, as applicable,
(v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged

 Information, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise,
for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact that a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the
Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A
Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters
or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Underwriters, Depositor, any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information
posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such
information. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any

in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via
the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to respond
to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require the Operating Advisor to provide information to
such inquiring Certificateholders that they are otherwise not entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.


 


(b)        The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Certificate Owner that is a Privileged Person,
the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons can register and thereafter obtain information
with respect to any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor
Registry shall certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder or a Certificate Owner and a Privileged Person and (b) it
grants authorization to the Certificate Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry
for at least forty-five (45) days from the date of such certification to persons entitled to access to the Investor Registry.
Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and email
address, as well as certain optional fields such as address, phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned. If any Certificateholder
or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice
may not be within forty-five (45) days of its registration), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor
Registry. The Certificate Administrator will not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor

the appropriate person (in the case of the General Master Servicer to the following: RAInvRequests@wellsfargo.com; and,

Agency Inquiry as provided below, shall reply by email to the Certificate Administrator. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall

any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure
of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of,
or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer,
as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, determines
in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance
of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator,
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency
Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider

 Certificate Administrator an electronic copy of the Diligence Files for the Mortgage Loans that have been uploaded
by the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Designated Site. Upon receipt thereof, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upload
the contents of each Diligence File actually received by it to the Secure Data Room. Access to the Secure Data Room shall be granted
by the Certificate Administrator to (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) any other Person at the direction
of the Depositor, in each case, upon the occurrence of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote and receipt by the Certificate Administrator
of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit QQ hereto (which shall be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com
or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s website). In no case whatsoever shall Certificateholders
be permitted to access the Secure Data Room. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation
to post any documents or information to the Secure Data Room other than the contents of the Diligence Files initially delivered
to it by the Depositor.


 


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


 


(c)        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 applicable 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 applicable Special Servicer may direct the Certificate
Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided
that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure
Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be
permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room. Upon deletion, in no event shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated
to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

Article V



THE CERTIFICATES


 


Section 5.01       
The Certificates. (a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms annexed hereto as Exhibit A-1 through and including Exhibit A-4, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as are required or permitted by this Agreement or as may, in the reasonable judgment of the Certificate Registrar, be necessary,
appropriate or convenient to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may have such letters, numbers or other
marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required by law, or as may, consistently herewith,
be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof. The Class X Certificates
will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Notional Amount of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. The Registered Certificates (other than the Class X-A Certificates and Class X-B
Certificates) will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $10,000,
and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. The Non-Registered Certificates (other than any Class X Certificates and
other than the Class V and Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) will be issuable in minimum Denominations of authorized
initial Certificate Balance of not less than $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. The RR Interest will
be issuable in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $1.00, and in integral multiples
of $0.01 in excess thereof. If the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class (other
than the RR Interest) does not equal an integral multiple of $1.00, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be
issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes
the excess of (i) the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Class over (ii) the
largest integral multiple of $1.00 that does not exceed such amount. The Class R and Class V Certificates shall be issued,
maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class R or Class V Certificates and in integral
multiples of 1% in excess thereof.


 


(b)        One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Registrar by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized
signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Registrar countersigns the
Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.


 


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


 



    -366-


     


    

 


 RREF IV Debt AIV, LP) is to be made in reliance
upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then either:


 


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


 


On
the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate
Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by
the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the
authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be terminated
as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent,
which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.


 


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


 



    -367-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(e)        Subject to the following provisions, during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, any RR Interest shall only be held as
a Definitive Certificate in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and each Retaining Party’s
respective interest shall be tracked in the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust 


 



    -368-


     


    

 


accounting system
under the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account), for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate.


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall hold the RR Interest in safekeeping and shall release the Definitive Certificate representing
a portion of the requesting Retaining Party’s RR Interest only upon receipt of written instructions from the applicable
Holder of the RR Interest and the Retaining Sponsor’s written consent, or in connection with a transfer, in accordance with
Section 5.03(i), and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator
and in accordance with this Agreement. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account
which will be designated the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account” and into which the RR Interest shall be held
and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator
may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retaining Party. The RR Interest
to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. No amounts distributable
to the RR Interest shall be remitted to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted directly to each Retaining
Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately by each Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under
no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping the RR Interest shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action
or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retaining Parties. During the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period
and for such longer time as the Retaining Parties may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificate
representing the RR Interest at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given
notice to each of the Retaining Parties of such new location:

The
Certificate Administrator shall make available to each Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon
by the Certificate Administrator and each respective Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s
policies and procedures. Any transfer of an RR Interest shall be subject to Section 5.03(g) and Section 5.03(i).
The Certificate Administrator is directed by the Depositor to enter into a safekeeping account agreement to facilitate the initial
settlement and sale of the RR Interest on the Closing Date.


 


On
the Closing Date and upon any transfer of the RR Interest pursuant to Section 5.03(i), the Certificate Administrator shall
deliver written confirmation to the Depositor, the Retaining Sponsor and the initial Holder of the RR Interest substantially in
the form of Exhibit UU to this Agreement evidencing its receipt of the RR Interest.


 


Section 5.03       
Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be
kept at the Corporate Trust Office books (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being


 



    -369-


     


    

 


 the “Certificate
Registrar”). In such capacities, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, (i) maintaining
the Certificate Register and a record of the aggregate holdings of Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates represented
by a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and a Rule 144A Book-Entry
Certificate and accepting Certificates for exchange and registration of transfer, (ii) holding the RR Interest as Definitive Certificates
on behalf of each Holder of such Class and (iii) transmitting to the Depositor, each applicable Master Servicer and each

any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S

of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate,

the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate
to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein,
the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate
authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


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


 


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

(i)         Transfers of RR Interest.  At all times, if a Transfer of any RR Interest after the Closing Date is to be made, then
the following documents shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, who will facilitate the transfer in conjunction with
the Certificate Registrar who shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely
upon) (A) if such RR Interest is in the possession of the Certificate Administrator, a letter notifying the Certificate Administrator
in writing of the Holder of an RR Interest’s intention to transfer such RR Interest from the Retained Interest Safekeeping
Account and identifying the transferee, (B) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with
a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (C) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the
Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (D) a completed W-9 by the prospective transferee
and (E) contact information and wiring instructions for the prospective transferee. So long as the RR Interest is held by
the Certificate Administrator in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, upon the completion of any such Transfer during the
RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, the Certificate Administrator shall issue a receipt to such transferor and transferee.
Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e) and Section 5.03(a),
reflect such RR Interest in the name of the prospective Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an RR Interest
be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period. Any attempted or purported transfer in
violation of this Section 5.03(i) shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee
and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    -374-


     


    

 


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


 


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

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


 


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(o) 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


 



    -376-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(q)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate
Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required
for such withholding, and the Certificateholders shall be required to provide the Certificate Administrator with such forms and
such other information reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any
amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Certificate


 



    -377-


     


    

 


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.


 


(r)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Depositor, the Trust, any Underwriter, any Initial Purchaser,
the Trustee, any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer or any of their respective affiliated entities (the “Transaction Parties”) is undertaking to provide
impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the acquisition of any Certificates
by any Plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) or any
person acting on behalf of using the assets of an ERISA Plan. In addition, each beneficial owner of any Certificate or any interest
therein that is an ERISA Plan or that is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan, including any fiduciary purchasing
Certificates on behalf of an ERISA Plan (“Plan Fiduciary”) will be deemed to have represented by its acquisition
of such Certificate that none of the Transaction Parties has provided any investment recommendation or investment advice on which
the ERISA Plan or the Plan Fiduciary has relied in connection with the decision to acquire Offered Certificates, and they are
not otherwise acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(3) of the Code) to the ERISA
Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Offered Certificates (unless an applicable prohibited transaction
exemption is available to cover the purchase or holding of the Offered Certificates or the transaction is not otherwise prohibited),
and (ii) the Plan Fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Offered Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment
in evaluating the investment in the Offered Certificates.


 


Section 5.04       
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate
and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless,
then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Certificate Registrar shall execute, 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. Each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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 each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them shall not 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


 



    -378-


     


    

 


Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute
such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).


 


Section 5.06       
Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices. (a) The Certificate Registrar shall
maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders. If any Certificateholder that has provided an Investor Certification (i) requests in writing from the
Certificate Registrar a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders, (ii) states that such Certificateholder desires
to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (iii) provides
a copy of the communication which Certificateholder proposes to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten (10)
Business Days after the receipt of such request, furnish such Certificateholder (at such Certificateholder’s sole cost and
expense) a current list of the Certificateholders. In addition, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator of any Certificateholder
or Certificate Owner (if applicable) that has provided an Investor Certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly
notify such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner of the identity of the then-current Directing Certificateholder. Every Certificateholder,
by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure
of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which information was
derived. Each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating
Advisor and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from time to time upon
request therefor.


 


(b)        (i) The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form 10-D any written request received in accordance with Section 11.04(a)
prior to the Distribution Date to which the Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution
Date) from a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to communicate with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners related
to Certificateholders or Certificate Owners exercising their rights under the terms of this Agreement. Any Form 10-D containing
such disclosure (a “Special Notice”) regarding the request to communicate shall include the following and no
more than the following (a) the name of the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner making the request, (b) the date
the request was received, (c) a statement to the effect that the Certificate Administrator has received such request, stating
that such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner is interested in communicating with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners
with regard to the possible exercise of rights under this Agreement, and (d) a description of the method other Certificateholders
or Certificate Owners may use to contact the requesting Certificateholder or Certificate Owner. It is hereby understood that a
disclosure in substantially the following form shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements in the preceding sentence: “On
[date], the Certificate Administrator received from [name], a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, a request to communicate
with other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners in the securitization transaction to which this report on Form 10-D relates
(the “Securitization”). The requesting Certificateholder or Certificate Owner is interested in communicating
with other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners with regard to the possible exercise of rights under the pooling and servicing
agreement governing the Securitization. Other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners may contact the requesting Certificateholder
or Certificate Owner at [telephone number], [email address] and/or [mailing address].”

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

incurs in connection with any request to communicate will be paid by the Trust.

Section 5.09

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 incomplete ballots that are received on the voting deadline or that cannot be resolved by the voting


 



    -381-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 5.11       
Exchangeable Certificates. (a) On the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust shall issue the several Classes of Exchangeable
Certificates. Each Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Corresponding
Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests in an amount equal to the Class Percentage Interest of such Class in each such Corresponding
Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest. All amounts allocated to an Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interest hereunder, including
principal and interest payable thereon and reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses (with interest), shall be allocated
to the Classes of Exchangeable Certificates representing an interest therein, in proportion to their Class Percentage Interests
therein; provided, that the Exchangeable Certificates will be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges
as described in Section 4.01(e).


 


(b)        Certificates of each Class of Exchangeable Certificates (each such Class, in connection with any exchange, an applicable “Surrendered
Class”) may be exchanged on the books of DTC for Certificates of the corresponding Classes of Exchangeable Certificates
set forth next to such Class in the table below (each, an applicable “Received Class”), and vice versa. The
Denomination of each of the Received Classes of Certificates must be equal to the Denomination of each of the Surrendered Classes
of Certificates. No fee shall be required with respect to any exchange of Exchangeable Certificates. Following any exchange of
Certificates of one or more Surrendered Classes for Certificates of one or more Received Classes, the Class Percentage Interests
in the Corresponding Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests that are represented by the Surrendered Classes (and consequently
their related Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts) shall be decreased, and those of the Received Classes (and consequently
their related Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts) shall be increased. The Certificate Administrator or Certificate

Registrar,
as applicable, shall (i) make the appropriate notation of such exchange on the Certificate Register and on the Book-Entry Certificate
for each Class of Exchangeable Certificates involved in such exchange to reflect such reductions and increases and (ii) give appropriate
instructions to the Depository to reflect such reductions and increases.

For
example, a Certificateholder holding Class A-S Certificates with a Denomination of $107,588,000 may surrender Class A-S Certificates
with a Denomination of $53,794,000 (the Certificates of the applicable Surrendered Class) and receive in exchange Class A-S-1
Certificates with a Denomination of $53,794,000 and Class A-S-X1 Certificates with a Denomination of $53,794,000 (collectively,
the Certificates of the applicable Received Classes). In such event, (i) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S Certificates
in each of the Class A-S, Class A-S-X1 and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced from 100% to 50%, (ii) the
Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-1 Certificates in each of the Class A-S and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests
would be increased from 0% to 50%, and (iii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-X1 Certificates in the Class A-S-X1
Upper-Tier Regular Interest would be increased from 0% to 50%.


 


Similarly
a Certificateholder holding Class A-S-1 Certificates with a Denomination of $53,794,000 that seeks to surrender all such Certificates
in exchange for Class A-S Certificates will be required to surrender all such Certificates, as well as Class A-S-X1 Certificates
with a Denomination of $53,794,000 in order to accomplish such exchange. In such event, (i) the Class Percentage Interest of the
Class A-S-1 Certificates in each of the Class A-S and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be reduced from 50% to 0%,
(ii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S-X1 Certificates in the Class A-S-X1 Upper-Tier Regular Interest would be reduced
from 50% to 0%, and (iii) the Class Percentage Interest of the Class A-S Certificates in each of the Class A-S, Class A-S-X1
and Class A-S-X2 Upper-Tier Regular Interests would be increased from 0% (assuming no other Class A-S Certificates are then outstanding)
to 50%.


 


(c)        The maximum Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Class A-4 Exchangeable Certificates, Class A-5 Exchangeable
Certificates, Class A-S Exchangeable Certificates, Class B Exchangeable Certificates or Class C Exchangeable Certificates that
may be issued in an exchange is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B or Class C Upper-Tier
Regular Interest, respectively.


 






    -383-


     


    

 


(d)        In order to effect an exchange of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificateholder shall deliver a notice substantially in the
form of Exhibit TT to the Certificate Administrator by e-mail to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com (with a subject line
referencing “BANK 2021-BNK36” and setting forth the proposed Exchange Date) no later than three (3) Business Days
before the proposed exchange date (the “Exchange Date”). The Exchange Date may be any Business Day other than
the first or last Business Day of the month. The notice must (i) be set forth on the applicable Certificateholder’s letterhead,
(ii) carry a medallion stamp guarantee and (iii) set forth the following information: (x) the CUSIP number, outstanding Certificate
Balance or Notional Amount and Original Certificate Balance or Original Notional Amount of each proposed Surrendered Class and
of each proposed Received Class; (y) the Certificateholder’s DTC participant number; and (z) the proposed Exchange Date.
A notice shall become irrevocable on the second Business Day before the proposed Exchange Date.


 


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


 


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

the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans and to perform its respective duties under
this Agreement.


 


(b)        Each of the Depositor, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset
Representations Reviewer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets
(which may be limited to all or substantially all of its assets related to commercial mortgage loan servicing 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, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor,
or the Asset Representations Reviewer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, such Master Servicer, such Special Servicer, the
Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer (such Person, in the case of a Master Servicer or a 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, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as
the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that with respect to such merger, consolidation
or succession, Rating Agency Confirmation is received from each Rating Agency with respect to the Classes of Certificates and,
with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, a confirmation is received from each applicable rating agency
that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that
such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered
satisfied with respect to the Certificates as described in Section 3.25); provided, further, that if
a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor enters into a merger and such Master Servicer, such Special Servicer
or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, is the surviving entity under applicable law, such Master Servicer, such Special Servicer
or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall not, as a result of the merger, be required to provide a Rating Agency Confirmation
with respect to ratings of the Classes of Certificates or, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, a
confirmation of the rating agencies that 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 such
Master Servicer, such 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 such Master Servicer, such Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, in writing that
the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, has discovered that such successor entity has
not complied with its Exchange Act reporting obligations under any other commercial mortgage loan securitization (and specifically
identifying the instance of noncompliance), then it shall be an additional condition to such succession that the Depositor or
the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) to such successor entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating
Advisor may remain a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer or Operating


 



    -391-


     


    

 


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) such Master Servicer, such Special
Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, is the surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer and has been and
continues to be in compliance with its Regulation AB reporting obligations hereunder or (ii) the Depositor consents to such
merger, consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, within sixty (60) days following the
date of delivery of the Merger Notice to the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, the
Depositor or depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have failed to notify such Master Servicer or such
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

managers, employees and agents, incurred in connection with any violation by any of them of any state or federal securities law.
In addition, absent actual fraud (as determined by a final non-appealable court order), neither the Trustee nor the Certificate
Administrator (including in its capacity as Custodian, Certificate Registrar and 17g-5 Information Provider) shall be liable for

(b)        None of the Depositor, any Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), any Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law), proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its
respective duties under this Agreement or which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability not recoverable from
the Trust; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan and/or the holder of any
related Companion Loan are involved, such expenses, costs and liabilities will be payable out of funds related to the applicable
Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and will also be payable out of the other funds in
the applicable 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, each applicable Master Servicer
(including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), each applicable 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 applicable Collection Account (including, without duplication, any subaccount thereof),

the applicable Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (in the case of each applicable
Special Servicer and any other applicable Master Servicer), the applicable Special Servicer (in the case of each applicable Master
Servicer and any other applicable Special Servicer) and the Trust and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager,
employee or 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 (for the avoidance of
doubt, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity) that
any of them may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of such Master Servicer
or such 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 such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, of its duties and obligations hereunder
or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable.
The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as the
case may be, shall immediately

whereupon the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this
Agreement or otherwise, unless such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, defense of such
claim is materially prejudiced thereby.


 


Each
applicable Master Servicer and each applicable Special Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor from and against
any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs
and expenses (for the avoidance of doubt, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and expenses relating to the
enforcement of such indemnity) incurred by the Depositor or its Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon, severally and
not jointly (i) a breach by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, of any obligation it has to deliver
information to the 17g-5 Information Provider as set forth in this Agreement, including Section 3.07(a), Section 3.08,

Certificate Administrator (in the case of the Trustee), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator), the Operating
Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trust and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager employee
or 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 (for the avoidance of doubt, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity) that any of them may
sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator,
respectively, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the
Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any
representations or warranties made herein; provided that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages.
The Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating
Advisor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, respectively, if a claim
is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trust to indemnification hereunder,
whereupon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Depositor, such Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), such Special Servicer,
the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor) 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

defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.


 


(e)        The Depositor agrees to indemnify each Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable), each
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the
Trust and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent thereof, and hold them harmless, from

and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity) that any of them may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful
misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Depositor, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or
by reason of negligent disregard by the Depositor of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations
or warranties made herein; provided that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages. The applicable
Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer
or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Depositor if a claim is made by a third party with
respect to this Agreement, whereupon the Depositor shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) or such Special Servicer, as the
case may be) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Depositor shall
not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Depositor’s
defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.


 


(f)         The Operating Advisor agrees to indemnify each Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent, if applicable),
each Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trust

misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Operating Advisor, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement

Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations
Reviewer 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

(g)        Neither the Operating Advisor nor its Affiliates or any of the partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers,
employees or agents of the Operating Advisor shall be under any liability to any Certificateholder for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Operating Advisor against any liability which would otherwise be imposed
by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder.


 


(h)        The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to indemnify each Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent,

relating to the enforcement of such indemnity) incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan and the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA (as and to the same extent
the applicable Non-Serviced Trust is required to indemnify such parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the applicable Non-Serviced

The
indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of any Master

Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer.


 


(j)         For purposes of this Section 6.04 and Section 11.12, a Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case
may be, will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misconduct or committed bad faith or negligence in the performance of their
respective obligations and duties hereunder or acted in negligent disregard of such obligations and duties if such Master Servicer
or such Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow any terms of any Mortgage Loan documents because such Master Servicer
or such Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that compliance with such terms
would or potentially would cause an Adverse REMIC Event or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under
the relevant provisions of the Code (for which determination such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer will be entitled to
rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an additional expense of the Trust).


 


(k)        The NCB Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the General Master Servicer and its partners, directors, officers, shareholders,
members, managers, employees or agents from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees

based upon any error, inaccuracy or incompleteness in any NCB CREFC® Schedule AL File or NCB Schedule AL Additional
File delivered by the NCB Master Servicer to the General Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d) or any failure by the NCB
Master Servicer to deliver to the General Master Servicer any NCB CREFC® Schedule AL File or NCB Schedule AL Additional
File by the time specified in Section 3.12(d).


 


Section 6.05       
Depositor, Master Servicers and Special Servicers Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03,
no Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon (a) determination
that such party’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (b) in the case of a Master Servicer
or a Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed
by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable), and receipt by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee
of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will
not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities
(if any) (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency
Confirmation


 



    -398-


     


    

 


 may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25). Any such determination
permitting the resignation of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and (prior
to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder. Unless applicable law
requires the resignation of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer (as the case may be) to be effective immediately, and
the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no such resignation by such Master Servicer or such
Special Servicer under clause (a) above shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer or special
servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities
and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 and no such resignation by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer
shall become effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07
and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Upon any termination (as described
in Section 7.01(c)) or resignation of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, pursuant to this Section 6.05,
such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right and opportunity to appoint any successor master
servicer or special servicer with respect to this Section 6.05; provided that, such successor master servicer
or special servicer shall not be the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Operating Advisor or one of their respective Affiliates
and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) such successor special servicer is approved by the
Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The resigning party shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator)
associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c),
in no event shall such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special
servicer if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.


 


Section 6.06       
Rights of the Depositor in Respect of each applicable Master Servicer and Special Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not
obligated to, enforce the obligations of any Master Servicer and any Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated
to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of any Master Servicer and any Special Servicer hereunder
or exercise the rights of any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided, however,
that any Master Servicer and any 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 any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee,
any Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or any Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.


 


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

Section 6.08       
The Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.(a) (A) Other than with respect to
any Serviced AB Whole Loan that is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, for so long as no Control Termination Event
has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to advise (1) the applicable Special Servicer,
with respect to all Major Decisions for all Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect
to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class), (2) the applicable Special Servicer,
with respect to all Serviced Mortgage Loans, as to the Special Servicer Decisions described in clauses (iv), (v),

Party shall (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of
the majority of the RR Interest) be entitled to consult on a strictly non-binding basis with the applicable Special Servicer with
respect to any Major Decision (provided that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event,
the related Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan). For the avoidance of doubt, any consultation with the Risk
Retention Consultation Party under this Agreement shall occur only upon the request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party with
respect to any individual triggering event, and any such consultation shall be on a strictly non-binding basis and shall be subject
to all limitations with respect to the procedures and timing of such consultation set forth in this Section 6.08.


 


Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, the third and fourth paragraphs of this
Section 6.08(a) and Section 6.08(b), for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing,
the applicable Special Servicer shall not be permitted to take (x) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan (but only prior
to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period), any “major decision” under the related Intercreditor
Agreement or (y) any of the following actions with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced
Whole Loan (and in the case of clause (xii), a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (each such action described in clause (x) or clause
(y), a “Major Decision”) without the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (provided that if such written
consent has not been received by such Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after the Directing Certificateholder’s
receipt of the applicable Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested
by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the applicable Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold
such consent, the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action):

Loan other than in connection with a maturity default if refinancing or sale is expected within 120 days as provided in clause (viii)
of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”;


 


(iii)       following a default or an event of default with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, any exercise of remedies, including
the acceleration of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or initiation of any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, under the
related Mortgage Loan documents;


 


(iv)       any sale of a Defaulted Loan and any related defaulted Companion Loan, or any REO Property (other than in connection with the
termination of the Trust) or a defaulted Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that the applicable Special Servicer is permitted to sell

provided that with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Special Servicer
determines, with respect to clause (xii) above, that a modification, amendment or waiver is administrative in nature, including
a note splitting amendment, the applicable Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such determination to the applicable
Master Servicer, in which case, the applicable Master Servicer shall process such decision and such decision shall be deemed to
be a Master Servicer Decision not a Major Decision; provided, further, that the applicable Special Servicer shall make
any such determination and


 



    -402-


     


    

 


provide any such notice within two (2) business days of its receipt of a request related to any such
decision;


 


provided,
further, that in the event that the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be,
determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters or any Master Servicer Decision, or any other matter requiring
consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement
(or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating
Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest
of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account
the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master
Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or
without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor,
as the case may be); provided that if such matter requires consent of or consultation with the Directing Certificateholder,
the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Agreement, the applicable Special Servicer or
the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may be, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the Operating Advisor, if applicable)
and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably
detailed explanation of the basis therefor. None of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer is required
to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any of the foregoing actions or any other matter requiring consent
of the Directing Certificateholder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided,
however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer
shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder (only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination
Event) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder
(and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance
of a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder
in respect thereof. Additionally, upon request, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party
on a non-binding basis (provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the related
Mortgage Loan must also be a Specially Serviced Loan) in connection with any Major Decision not relating to an Excluded Loan with
respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party and consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation
Party in respect thereof. In the event the applicable Special Servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder
or the Risk Retention Consultation Party within ten (10) Business Days following its written request for input on any required
consultation, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk
Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure
of the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond shall not relieve the applicable Special
Servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, on any
future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan with
respect to such party) or Serviced Whole Loan. In addition, after a Control Termination Event, the applicable Special Servicer
will also be


 



    -403-


     


    

 


required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions
which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination
Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that
such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the applicable Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating
Advisor within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation
and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject
matter of such consultation, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the
specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters
shall not relieve the applicable Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter
with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with
respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling
Class (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the applicable Special Servicer shall
consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major
Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.


 


Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), the applicable Special Servicer shall process all requests in
respect of Specially Serviced Loans and any matter that constitutes a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision.


 


Upon
receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision with respect to a Serviced
Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly
forward such request to the applicable Special Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall process such request (including,
without limitation, interfacing with the Mortgagor) and the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such
request or the Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision except as provided in the next sentence. With respect to such request,
such Master Servicer shall continue to cooperate with reasonable requests of the Special Servicer by delivering any additional
information in the Master Servicer’s possession to the Special Servicer that is reasonably requested by the Special Servicer
relating to such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the
applicable Special Servicer shall promptly forward such request to the Directing Certificateholder together with the Special Servicer’s
written recommendation and analysis. The Directing Certificateholder shall promptly provide notice to the applicable Special Servicer
of any objection the Directing Certificateholder has to the applicable Special Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis
(provided that if such written consent has not been received by the Special Servicer within the applicable time period,
then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action).


 


In
addition, the applicable Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating
to a default by the Mortgagor under a Ground Lease where the collateral for the Mortgage Loan is the Ground Lease, and the applicable
Special


 



    -404-


     


    

 


Servicer will determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the Trust as lender should cure any Mortgagor
defaults relating to Ground Leases. Any costs relating to any such cure of a Mortgagor default relating to a Ground Lease shall
be paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.


 


With
respect to (i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision relating to a Specially
Serviced Loan, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any Major Decision
relating to a Mortgage Loan (in each case, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation
Party or the holder of the majority of the RR Interest), the applicable Special Servicer shall provide copies of any notice, information
and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Major
Decision to the Risk Retention Consultation Party, within the same time frame it is required to provide such notice, information
or report to the Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to
be provided to the Directing Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a
Consultation Termination Event).


 


In
addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the
Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the
Directing Certificateholder subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the applicable Special Servicer
with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, may direct the
applicable Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Directing
Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6.08(a)
or this paragraph may require or cause the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer to violate any provision
of any Mortgage Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement 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 any Master Servicer and any Special Servicer to act in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, or expose any Master Servicer, any 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 any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer,
as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.


 


In
the event a Special Servicer or a Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Certificateholder
or any advice from the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, would cause such Special Servicer
or such Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or this Agreement, including
without limitation, the Servicing Standard, such Special Servicer or such Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such
refusal to consent or advise and notify


 



    -405-


     


    

 


the Directing Certificateholder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, respectively,
and the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.
The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer in accordance with the direction
of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder or the approval of the Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate
the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result
in any liability on the part of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer.


 


With
respect to any matter for which the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation
Party is required, to the extent no specific time period for deemed consent or deemed waiver of consultation rights is expressly
stated, in the event no response from the Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, is
received within ten (10) Business Days following written request for consent or consultation and receipt of all reasonably requested
information on any required consent or consultation, the Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as
applicable, shall be deemed to have consented to or approved or consulted on the specific matter; provided that the failure of
the Directing Certificateholder or Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, to respond will not affect any future matters
with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.


 


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


 


The
Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for
refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Risk Retention
Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to a Holder of an RR Interest that would otherwise be imposed
by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Holders


 



    -406-


     


    

 


of the RR Interest
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Holders of the RR Interest. By its acceptance of a Certificate,
each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor the interests
of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of an RR Interest over other Classes of the Certificates, and
that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of
some Classes of the Certificates, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of the Holders of
an RR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of
Certificates other than the RR Interest, that the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be liable to any Certificateholder,
by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holder of the RR Interest, and that the Risk Retention Consultation
Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against
the Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.


 


Any
Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or
the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its
acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling
Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes
of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced PSA including the holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced
PSA over other classes of the certificates issued under the Non-Serviced PSA and/or any Class of Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced
Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that
conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with
respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related
Non-Serviced PSA, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason
of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and that
the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever
for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling
Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having
so acted.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control
Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to a Directing Certificateholder), the Directing
Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation
Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall remain entitled to receive
any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the applicable Special Servicer and
any other applicable party shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Directing Certificateholder and, with respect to any
Specially Serviced Loan, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan as
to such party)

to the extent set forth herein in connection with any Major Decision to be taken or refrained from being taken

respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the holder of a majority of the RR Interest, the Risk Retention Consultation
Party shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement,
and the applicable Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party (on

there is a Servicer Termination Event under clause (A) in the parenthetical in Section 7.01(a)(iii) above),
by notice in writing to the Affected Party, with a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Operating Advisor, all of the
rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Affected Party under this Agreement
and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than as a Certificateholder or Companion Holder, if applicable);
provided, however, that the Affected Party shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and
reimbursement through the date of such termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred.
From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this Article VII,
all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a
Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination
of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without limitation,
the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party,
as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement
or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Such Master Servicer and such 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 such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, functions
hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of such Master Servicer’s or such 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 such Master Servicer to its Collection Account or any Servicing
Account (if it is the Affected Party), by such Special Servicer to the REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter
be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that such Master
Servicer and such Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) or pursuant to Section 7.01(d)
(with respect to such 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 such Special Servicer or
such Master Servicer) or otherwise, and it and its Affiliates and the directors, managers, officers, members, employees and agents
of it and its Affiliates shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11 and Section 6.04
notwithstanding any such termination).


 


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


 



    -411-


     


    

 


of such Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of such
Master Servicer hereunder.


 


Notwithstanding
Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the General Special Servicer shall occur and be
continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the General 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 General Special Servicer
with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. The General Special Servicer appointed to replace the General 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 General Special Servicer
in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and confirmation from the applicable
rating agencies that such appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current
ratings of any class of any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may
be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates
pursuant to Section 3.25).


 


(d)        Subject to the rights of the holder of a related AB Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement,
at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded
Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing Certificateholder
shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of
the applicable Special Servicer under this Agreement, (A) for cause at any time and (B) without cause at any time, in each case,
upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to such Special Servicer, each applicable Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer meeting
the requirements of this Section 7.01(d). Upon a termination of such Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder
(other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of
the Controlling Class) shall appoint a successor special servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer hereunder; provided,
however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) each
Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation and, in the case of any class of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the
applicable rating agencies deliver a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner
as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25)
and (iii) no replacement of such Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed
any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to
any related Companion Loan.

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


 


An
AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall have the right, if an AB Control Appraisal Period is not in effect, to replace the applicable
Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, so long as (A) each Rating Agency delivers a
Rating Agency Confirmation; (B) the successor special servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor
special servicer becomes a Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of such Special Servicer under
this Agreement from and after the date it becomes a Special Servicer as they relate to any Serviced AB Whole Loan pursuant to
an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator; and (C) the Certificate Administrator shall
have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that (x) the designation
of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound
by the terms of this Agreement with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and
exceptions, this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with the terms hereof.


 






    -413-


     


    

 


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


 


Following
the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Operating
Advisor determines in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard that a Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required
hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to such Special Servicer, a written report in the form of Exhibit W
attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with any information the Operating Advisor considered
relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a replacement Special Servicer (which form may be modified or supplemented from
time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with
the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other
content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its
recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special
servicer to assume the duties of such Special Servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event,
the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report
on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation
of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing
at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction
Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances of such Certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on
an aggregate basis within 180 days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s
Website, and if not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio, and (ii) receipt by the Certificate
Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i) of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency
and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari


 



    -414-


     


    

 


Passu Companion Loan Securities,
the Trustee shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint
a successor special servicer approved by the Certificateholders and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of
the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses
of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s
identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. In the event that the
Trustee does not receive at least a majority of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove such
Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed
to succeed to the obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as such Special Servicer’s successor
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of a Special
Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder is not subject to an AB Control
Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement or with respect to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    -415-


     


    

 


(g)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer
Loan, if any, the related Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the
occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded
Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Directing Certificateholder
shall select an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer
Loan in accordance with this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, (i) if
at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder
or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or (ii) if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded
Special Servicer but does not so appoint within thirty (30) days of resignation, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The resigning Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect
to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded
Special Servicer so long as, on the date of the appointment, the selected Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement
Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment
would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the Certificates and each
NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities makes the equivalent confirmation, (ii) the
related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related Excluded Special Servicer
delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor and Other Certificate Administrator,
the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role
as Excluded Special Servicer.


 


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


 


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


 


If
a Servicing Officer of the applicable Master Servicer, a related Excluded Special Servicer, or the applicable Special Servicer,
as the case may be, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Loan
or an


 



    -416-


     


    

 


Excluded Special Servicer Loan, as applicable, the applicable Master Servicer, the related Excluded Special Servicer or
the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties
to this Agreement.


 


Section 7.02       
Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, as the case may
be, either resigns pursuant to clause (a) of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant
to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified
in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to that Master Servicer
or that Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Certificateholder
as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as such Master Servicer or such Special
Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and
have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities,
duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of such
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment
of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to
its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the
predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as
successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as such case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations
and warranties of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement,
for any acts or omissions of the predecessor master servicer or special servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan
hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject
to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing
Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loans which that Master Servicer would have been entitled to
if such Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted
Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to such
Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which such Special Servicer would have been entitled if such
Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of such Master Servicer or such Special
Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as such Master Servicer or
such Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only
with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be,
and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to
act as successor to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the
Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to such
Special Servicer) ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect
to any Excluded Loan with respect to the Directing Certificateholder or the Holder of the majority of the


 



    -417-


     


    

 


Controlling Class) or
the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint,
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the
criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to that Master Servicer or that Special
Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such
Master Servicer or such Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer
hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to such Master Servicer or such Special
Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) receipt of Rating Agency
Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may
be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) such appointment (solely
with respect to such Special Servicer) has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event)
by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator
shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed
with respect to any related Companion Loan. Pending appointment of a successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above
provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer as
described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor
master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the non-terminated Master Servicer or the non-terminated
Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate
any such succession. Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other
than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party
requesting such termination or the successor master servicer or special servicer for such expenses within ninety (90) days
after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated
Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that
the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination
shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust. In the event
of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise
set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement
at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate such Master Servicer or such Special
Servicer


 



    -418-


     


    

 


pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.04       
Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated
to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event;
provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), (ii), (viii), (ix)
or (x) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected
Classes, and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) of Section 7.01(a) (with respect to obligations
under Article XI) may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination
Event, subject to the rights of any affected holder of a Serviced Companion Loan under Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(f),
such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon
any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be
entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer
Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination
Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates
registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect
to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.


 


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

Master Servicer’s rights with respect
to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, such Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each
Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Master Servicer’s
default in its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and a Master Servicer
shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such
Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances
shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of such Master Servicer for
such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance
hereunder.

terms of Article II, the Diligence Files, any CREFC® reports and any information delivered for posting

whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements
of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall notify the party providing such instrument
and requesting the correction thereof. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy
or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor,
a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer or another Person, and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in good
faith, pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(c)        No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however,
that:

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

(ii)        Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith

be proved that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
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 to the Serviced
Companion Noteholders all reports that the Certificate Administrator has made available to Certificateholders under this Agreement

which may be incurred therein or thereby; neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to expend or

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 the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;


 


(v)        Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event hereunder and after the curing of all Servicer Termination Events which
may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of
the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator 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, affiliates or attorneys; provided, however, that the appointment of such
agents, affiliates or attorneys shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties or obligations hereunder;
provided, further, that the Trustee or the Certificate


 



    -422-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(viii)     Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for any act or omission of a Master Servicer or a Special
Servicer (unless the Trustee is acting as a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, as the case may be, in which case the Trustee
shall only be responsible for its own actions as a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer) or of the Depositor, the Operating Advisor
or the Asset Representations Reviewer;


 


(ix)        Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Trust Fund
unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, 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 result of its own

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


 


(xii)       Nothing herein shall be construed as an obligation for any party to this Agreement to advise a Certificateholder with respect

afforded to it as Trustee and Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in each capacity for which it serves hereunder (including,

contained herein and in the Certificates, other than the acknowledgments of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in Sections 2.01(h)

any outstanding Certificate, shall not be taken as the statements


 



    -423-


     


    

 


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 each applicable Collection Account
or any other account by or on behalf of the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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, a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.


 


Section 8.04

capacity, not as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates, and may deal with the
Depositor, any Master Servicer, any 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 their respective duties hereunder, the Trustee will be paid the Trustee Fee, which shall cover
recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Trustee, and the Certificate Administrator will be paid the Certificate
Administrator Fee equal to the Certificate Administrator’s portion of one (1) month’s interest at the Certificate
Administrator Fee Rate, which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Certificate Administrator.
The Trustee Fee and Certificate Administrator 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 Fee, which Certificate Administrator Fee shall
accrue from time to time at the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate and the Certificate Administrator Fee shall be computed in
the same manner as interest is 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 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 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
Fee shall be payable with respect to any Companion Loan.

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 each applicable 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 the successor to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special
Servicer, to the extent not otherwise paid hereunder, and, for the avoidance of doubt, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity) 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, however, 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,

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 the Mortgage Loan Sellers from and against any
claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses (for the avoidance of doubt, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and expenses relating to the enforcement
of such indemnity) incurred by the Depositor or 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

Section 8.06       
Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Certificate Administrator. Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
hereunder shall at all times be, and will be required to resign if it fails to be, (i) a corporation, national bank, national
banking association or a trust company, organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and to accept the trust conferred under this Agreement, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority
and in the case of the Trustee, shall not be an Affiliate of any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer (except during any period
when the Trustee is acting as, or has become successor to, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer,
as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.02), (ii) in the case of the Trustee, an institution whose long-term
senior unsecured debt is rated at least “BBB” by S&P, “A” by Fitch (or short-term rating of “F1”
by Fitch) and “BBB-” by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA), or such other rating with respect to which the Rating Agencies
have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation and (iii) an entity that is not a Prohibited Party.


 


If
such corporation, 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 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), the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable shall elect either to (i) resign
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 from a state and local jurisdiction that does not impose such a tax.


 


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, each
Master Servicer, each 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 each Master Servicer, each 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 General 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 each Master Servicer, each Special Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or Certificate Administrator,
as applicable, by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate


 



    -426-


     


    

 


Administrator
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable,
and such petition will be an expense of the Trust.


 


(b)        If at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06
(and in the case of the Certificate Administrator, Section 5.08) and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Depositor or a 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, and appoint
a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the requesting Master Servicer, by written instrument, in duplicate,
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or certificate
administrator in the case of the removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered
to each Master Servicer, each Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or certificate
administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice
of removal, the removed Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust.


 


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


 


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


 






    -427-


     


    

 


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.


 


(e)        Upon the resignation, assignment, merger, consolidation, or transfer of the Trustee or its business to a successor, or upon the
termination of the Trustee, (a) the outgoing Trustee shall (i) endorse the original executed Mortgage Note for each
Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the original executed Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan was endorsed to the outgoing trustee),
without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied, to the order of the successor, as trustee for the registered
Holders of BANK 2021-BNK36, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK36 or in blank, and (ii) in the
case of the other assignable Mortgage Loan documents (to the extent such other Mortgage Loan 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 applicable 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 BANK 2021-BNK36, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2021-BNK36 or in blank; provided, however, 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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and the Depositor shall cooperate with any successor trustee to ensure
that such Mortgage Loan document is assigned to such successor trustee; and (d) in any case, such successor trustee 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 endorsements and assignments have been made or, in the event such endorsement
or assignment cannot be made for any reason, to note the same in such certification.


 


(f)         Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates may be appointed as successor trustee or certificate administrator.

Section 8.08       
Successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator. (a) Any successor trustee or certificate administrator appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, each Master Servicer, each 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 applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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,
and to enable the successor trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.


 


(b)        No successor trustee or successor certificate administrator shall, as applicable, accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or successor certificate administrator, as applicable, shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.


 


(c)        Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor certificate administrator as provided in this Section 8.08,

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 be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part
of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The 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

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 same


 



    -429-


     


    

 


may at the time be located, each applicable Master Servicer
and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute 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 each applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If any 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. All co-trustee fees shall be payable out of the Trust Fund.


 


(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 a Master Servicer or a 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.


 


Section 8.11       
Appointment of Custodians. The Certificate Administrator is hereby appointed as the Custodian to hold all or a portion
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.

of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;


 


(v)        The Trustee is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the
terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order,

Advances, together with any interest accrued and payable to the applicable Master Servicer in respect of such Advances in accordance

Following
the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-4, Class
A-5, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there
is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates,
the Class R Certificates and the RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of each
applicable Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, the Class R Certificates
and the RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01(a)
by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.
In the event that the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates,
Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) and pay the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s
portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not
later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall (i) remit for deposit
in the Collection Account of the General Master Servicer an amount in immediately available funds equal to (a) the product of
the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Termination Purchase Amount plus (b) all amounts due and owing to the Depositor,
each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through

Collection Account, and (ii) be deemed to pay to the Trust (which amount shall be further deemed distributed to the Holders of
all outstanding Certificates (other than the RR Interest)) an amount equal to the product of the Non-


 



    -435-


     


    

 


Retained Percentage and the
Termination Purchase Amount. In addition, each Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier
REMIC Distribution Account and Excess Interest Distribution Account on the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date
in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the applicable Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph
of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the
portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited
into the related REO Account). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its
Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and the RR Interest) on the applicable Distribution Date,
(i) the Certificate Administrator shall remit to the Holders of the RR Interest in immediately available funds an amount equal
to the product of the Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage and the Termination Purchase Amount and (ii) the Custodian shall,
upon receipt of a Request for Release from each applicable Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder
or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and
other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02.
Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier
REMIC for an amount equal to the aggregate remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than any
Exchangeable Certificates) and the Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect
thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates,
Exchangeable Upper-Tier P&I Regular Interests and Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests.


 


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


 


The
Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of that time, the other Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority,
may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect
of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by
clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided,
however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, any Special Servicer, any 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 Balance 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


 



    -436-


     


    

 


Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as set forth in the Preliminary Statement (in order to make such determination, the General Master Servicer may, at any time,
request that the NCB Master Servicer commence to periodically inform the General Master Servicer of the Stated Principal Balance
of the NCB Mortgage Loans and, commencing upon such request of the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer shall inform
the General Master Servicer (which may be through providing the General Master Servicer access to the NCB Master Servicer’s
website) of the Stated Principal Balance of the NCB Mortgage Loans on a monthly basis, or at an accelerated interval as requested
by the General Master Servicer of the NCB Master Servicer). This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then-outstanding
Certificates. In the event that a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer purchases, or the Holder of the majority of the Controlling
Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each
REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable
Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the
case may be, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the
Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal
to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account of the General Master Servicer).
In addition, each Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred
thereto on such P&I Advance Date from its Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b),
together with any other amounts on deposit in its Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon
confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the
applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders
of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments,
endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Holder
of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, as shall be necessary
to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans as assets of the Trust and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. If the Holders
of the majority of the Controlling Class, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer (if not then NCB), the General
Master Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer (if not then NCB) makes such an election, then NCB (so long as NCB is either the NCB
Special Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer) will have the option, by giving written notice to the other parties hereto no later
than 30 days prior to the anticipated date of purchase, to purchase all of the NCB Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property
remaining in the Trust, and the other party will then have the option to purchase only the remaining Mortgage Loans and each related
REO Property.


 


For
purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to
terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, then the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of that time, then the other Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance
of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, then the other Master Servicer, and then the Holders of the Class R Certificates.
For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Certificateholder with the consent of the Holders of the Controlling
Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.

of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01,

will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the offices
of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein designated. Upon termination of the Trust pursuant to this Section 9.01,
the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Trustee via email.

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

ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS


 


Section 10.01   
REMIC Administration. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat
each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law. Each such election will
be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar
year in which the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect
of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated the “regular interests,” and the Class UR
Interest shall be designated the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. For purposes of the REMIC
election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular
interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the
Lower-Tier REMIC. Each applicable Special Servicer, each applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not permit the creation
of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any Trust REMIC other than the foregoing
interests. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely produced to the Trustee to sign (and
the Trustee shall timely sign) and file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier
REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such Trust REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain
such number by other permissible means. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of the related
IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein, and is hereby
directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided, however, the Certificate Administrator shall also be directed to execute such
IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by IRS regulations.


 






    -439-


     


    

 


(b)        The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” (“Startup Day”) of each Trust REMIC
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.


 


(c)        The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either
such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit
by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or
accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust
and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans
and any REO Properties on deposit in each applicable Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such
legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence.
The Certificate Administrator shall be designated as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section
6223 of the Code of each Trust REMIC. By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the Class R Certificates agree to the designation
of the Certificate Administrator as “partnership representative” for the Trust REMICs.


 


(d)        The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file, or cause to be filed, all of the Tax Returns
that it determines are required with respect to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign (and the
Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne
by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause
to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC,
an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible
means.


 


(e)        The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of such Class R Certificate to any Person
who is a Disqualified Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders
such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original
issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service,
Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.


 


(f)         The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within
the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary
to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate
Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. No Master Servicer or 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 the Grantor Trust
to fail to qualify as a grantor trust, or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust
(including but not limited to the


 



    -440-


     


    

 


tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code
and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net
income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate
Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails
to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust
and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the
Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust, any Trust REMIC created hereunder, cause
the loss of such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against
such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”).
The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator
has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with
respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same
shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense
of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will
to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of
the assets of each Trust REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted
investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.


 


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


 



    -441-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



    -442-


     


    

 


applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, has determined in its sole discretion to
indemnify the Trust against such tax, cause the Trust or any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions”
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.


 


(m)       The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator
is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code
(or successor provisions) to either Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by either Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the
Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed
on any Holder of a Class R Certificate, past or present. Each Holder of a Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate,
to any such elections.


 


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


 


Section 10.02   
Use of Agents.(a) The Trustee shall execute all of its obligations and duties under this Article X through
its Corporate Trust Office. The Trustee may execute any of its obligations and duties under this Article X either
directly or by or through agents, affiliates or attorneys. The Trustee shall not be relieved of any of its duties or obligations
under this Article X by virtue of the appointment of any such agents, affiliates or attorneys.

the Certificate Administrator, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant
for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, Prepayment
Assumptions and projected cash flow of the Certificates.


 


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

Section 10.04   
Appointment of REMIC Administrators.(a) The Certificate Administrator may appoint at the Certificate Administrator’s
expense, one or more REMIC Administrators, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator in performing
the functions set forth in Section 10.01 herein. The Certificate Administrator shall cause any such REMIC Administrator
to execute and deliver to the Certificate Administrator an instrument in which REMIC Administrator shall agree to act in such
capacity, with the obligations and responsibilities herein. The appointment of a REMIC Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate
Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible and liable for
all acts and omissions of the REMIC Administrator. Each REMIC Administrator must be acceptable to the Certificate Administrator
and must be organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State and be subject to supervision

corporate agency business of any REMIC Administrator, shall continue to be the REMIC Administrator without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the REMIC Administrator.

Article XI

EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING AND REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE

 

Section 11.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor (and any Other Depositor of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”). In connection with BANK 2021-BNK36, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-BNK36, and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB that includes a Serviced Companion Loan, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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 each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), reasonably believed by the Depositor or the related Other Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor and each Other Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements.

Section 11.02  Succession; Subcontractors.  (a) As a condition to the succession to any Master Servicer and any Special Servicer or to any Sub-Servicer (but only if such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2)) as servicer or sub-servicer or succession to the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the applicable Master

(b)       Each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (each such Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller (and any Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator and Other Depositor related to any Other Securitization that includes a related Serviced Companion Loan) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, such Mortgage Loan Seller or such Other Trustee, Other Certificate Administrator or Other Depositor, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor.

in each case, as and when required to be delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor, other than an Initial Sub-Servicer in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any such Subcontractor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer for purposes of this Agreement, the engagement of such Sub-Servicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator of any such Sub-Servicer and Sub-Servicing Agreement. Other than with respect to the Initial Sub-Servicer, no Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be effective until fifteen (15) days after such written notice is received by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor). Such notice shall contain all information reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

 

(d)          In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), in each case at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or if such prior notice is violative of applicable law or any applicable confidentiality agreement, no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession) and shall furnish to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, all information reasonably 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).

Todd Stillerman, Esq., Associate General Counsel & Director, Bank of America Legal Department, 150 North College Street, Mail Code: NC1-028-24-02, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255 and cmbsnotices@bofa.com. 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, any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall confirm to such Mortgage Loan Seller, Other Depositor, applicable Master Servicer or applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, if known to the Certificate Administrator, the identity of the new party.

 

(d)       Any notice and/or information furnished or required to be furnished pursuant to this Section 11.05 shall also be provided 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, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer (in the case of the Asset Representations Reviewer, solely with respect to reporting periods in which the Asset Representations Reviewer is required to deliver an Asset Review Report) shall provide, and (i) with respect to each Initial Sub-Servicer engaged by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, that is a Servicing Function Participant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Initial Sub-Servicer to provide, and (ii) with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant with which any Master Servicer, any 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 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 2022, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibits Y-1, Y-2, Y-3, Y-4, Y-5, Y-6

 



    -455- 


     


    

 

or Y-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; provided that, if a Servicing Function Participant (other than an Initial Sub-Servicer) with which the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable 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 fails to provide a Performance Certification, the Performance Certification provided by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, that engaged such Servicing Function Participant shall not exclude information that would have been provided by such Servicing Function Participant. In addition, in the event that any Serviced Companion Loan is deposited into a commercial mortgage securitization (including 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 either the Performance Certification or a separate 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 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, any affected Other Depositor and Other 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

its completion of any Asset Review and that are requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer, in the time frames and as otherwise described in clause (ii) hereof.

 

(ii)       In addition, in the event that, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing document(s), and request that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing document(s) to the extent in its possession; provided that any such notification and/or request shall be in writing, specifically identifying the documents being requested and sent to the notice address for the related party set forth in Section 13.05 of this Agreement. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller is required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such missing document only to the extent such document is in the possession of such party but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications (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, 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 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 conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”).

 

(iv)         Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that

 



    -476- 


     


    

 

Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit PP (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, that the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in Exhibit PP if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

 

(v)           No Certificateholder shall have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (1) the Review Materials and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

 

(vi)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

 

(vii)         The Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within fifty-six (56) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided, subject to the last sentence of this Section 12.01(b)(vii). 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 applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the possession of the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days following the request by the Asset Representations Reviewer to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, as described in Section 12.01(b)(ii), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the applicable Master Servicer (only with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise

 



    -477- 


     


    

 

refute the failure. Any documents or explanations to support the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be sent by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.

 

(viii)        The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or within the ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan, 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 applicable Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be a responsibility of the applicable Enforcing Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(k) of this Agreement.

 

(ix)          In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans), the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the related Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(x)           Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing Standard, there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the applicable Special Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists,

 



    -478- 


     


    

 

it shall enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

 

(c)           The Asset Representations Reviewer and its affiliates shall keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from any party to this Agreement or any Sponsor (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans) and not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the applicable Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

 

(d)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

 

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 on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and shall be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00020% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

(b)          As
                                        compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, with respect to an individual
                                        Asset Review Trigger and each Mortgage Loan that is a Delinquent Loan and is subject to
                                        an Asset Review (for purposes of this paragraph, each a “Subject 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 (a) in the case of a Subject
                                        Loan that is not an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, (i) $15,000, plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged
                                        Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $20,000,000,
                                        (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent
                                        Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, but less than $40,000,000
                                        or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent
                                        Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $40,000,000 and (b) in the case
                                        of a Subject Loan that is an NCB Co-op Mortgage Loan, $10,000 (any such fee, the “Asset
                                        Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”). The Asset Representations Reviewer
                                        Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage
                                        Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) shall be paid by
                                        the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if the related
                                        Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days
                                        of written invoice therefor by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid
                                        by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a certification
                                        to the applicable Master Servicer that the requirements for payment set forth in this
                                        Section 12.02(b) have been met. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not deliver
                                        any such certificate unless it has invoiced payment of such amount and otherwise met the
                                        requirements for payment set forth in this Section 12.02(b), including receipt
                                        of evidence of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount. A Mortgage Loan Seller shall
                                        be deemed to have failed to pay such amount hereunder ninety (90) days after delivery
                                        by the Asset Representations Reviewer of an itemized invoice to such Mortgage Loan Seller
                                        by registered mail or overnight courier to the address listed in this Agreement for such
                                        Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan
                                        Seller for delivery of notices in accordance with this Agreement, or ninety (90) days
                                        following attempted delivery of such invoice by registered mail or overnight courier and
                                        reasonable follow -up by telephone or e-mail. Notwithstanding any payment of such fee
                                        by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation
                                        of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Enforcing Servicer shall pursue remedies against
                                        such Mortgage Loan Seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased or substituted by a
Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer
or the Trust, as the case may be, for such fees pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

 

(d)          The
Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement.

 

Section
12.03   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

and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations
Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that
is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer 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, however, that
such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations
Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such
Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations
Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate
and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel
from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

 

Section
12.05  Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

(a) 
    An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether
it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court
or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

 

(i)      any
failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements
or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied

have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee
by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the Voting Rights, provided that any such failure that is not curable
within such thirty (30) day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days
to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial thirty (30) day period and has provided
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and
is continuing to pursue, such cure;

 

(ii)     any

    -481-


     


    

 

(iii)       any

for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to
the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Upon
receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination
Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders (which shall be simultaneously
delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer) in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section
12.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination
Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case,

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.

 



    -482-


     


    

 

(b)          Upon
(i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the
application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations
Reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii)
payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate
Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice
thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website,
and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Asset
Representations Reviewer. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder

rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued
prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)
by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer and appoint the proposed successor. As between the Asset Representations
Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion
to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that Holders of
the Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal

representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

 

(c)           On
or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 12.05,
all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations
Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary
or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty
(30) days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee
delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset
representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment
of an Asset Representations Reviewer to each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable 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
each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator
and the Directing Certificateholder of such disqualification and immediately resign under Section 12.03 of this Agreement
and the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor asset representations

 



    -483-


     


    

 

reviewer
within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as
the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure
is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

 

(d)          Upon
any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the
Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to each applicable Special Servicer, each applicable Master Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating
Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor, each Rating Agency, and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation
Termination Event and the Directing Certificateholder. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to
the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other
than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion

related

Serviced Companion Noteholder, the Depositor, each Other Depositor, each Other Certificate Administrator, each applicable Master
Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Underwriters and the Rating Agencies.

 

 
(e)         It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 13.01

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)        The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to enter into

pursuant to Section 13.01(a) or Section 13.01(c) shall be payable out of each applicable Collection Account.

 

 
 (h)       The Servicing Standard shall not be amended unless each Rating Agency provides Rating
Agency Confirmation and, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies provide
a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings, if
any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency
Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25).

 

 
 (i)        To the extent the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or Depositor obtains an Opinion

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

    -488-


     


    

 

name
of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to matters described

the party requesting such amendment (or, if the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer is requesting such amendment
in connection with the fulfillment of its duties under this Agreement, at the expense of the Trust)), without the consent of any
Certificateholder, to add or modify provisions relating to the applicable Repurchased Note for purposes of the servicing and administration
of such Repurchased Note provided that the amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders,
as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (obtained at the expense of the Repurchasing Mortgage Loan
Seller) with respect to such amendment (or, if no such Rating Agency Confirmation is actually received, by an Opinion of Counsel
to such effect). Prior to the effectiveness of such amendment, if one but not all of the Mortgage Notes with respect to a Joint
Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the terms of Section 3.30 shall govern the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage
Loan.

Section
13.06  Severability of Provisions. If
any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid,
then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions
or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement
or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

 

Section
13.07  Grant of a Security Interest. The
Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Conveyed Property shall constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan.
If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations
of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor also intends and agrees
that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security
interest in the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Property and all proceeds thereof,
in each case, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law. The Depositor shall file or cause to be filed, as a precautionary filing, a UCC Financing Statement
in all appropriate locations in the State of Delaware promptly following the initial issuance of the Certificates, and the Certificate
Administrator shall, at the expense of the Depositor (to the extent reasonable), prepare and file continuation statements with
respect thereto, in each case in the six-month period prior to every fifth anniversary of the date of the initial UCC Financing
Statement. The Depositor shall cooperate in a reasonable manner with the Certificate Administrator in the preparation and filing
of such continuation statement. This Section 13.07 shall constitute notice to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee
pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.

 

Section
13.08  Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. (a)
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective

 



    -500-


     


    

 

successors
and assigns of the parties hereto, and all such provisions shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Mortgage
Loan Seller (and its respective agents), each Companion Holder (and its respective agents), each Underwriter, each depositor of
a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization, each Other Exchange Act Reporting Party (with respect to its rights under Article
XI of this Agreement) and each Initial Purchaser is an intended third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect of the
respective rights afforded it hereunder. No other person, including, without limitation, any Mortgagor, shall be entitled to any
benefit or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. If one, but not all, of the Mortgage Notes evidencing any Joint
Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement
to the same extent as if it were a holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as contemplated by Section 3.30 hereof.

 

(b)          Each
Serviced Companion Noteholder shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to the rights afforded it hereunder.
Each of the Other Servicers and the Other Trustees shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to all provisions
herein expressly relating to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification of such Other Servicer and Other Trustee, and any
provisions regarding reimbursement or advances or interest thereon to such Other Servicer or Other Trustee.

 

(c)          Each of the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer,
Non-Serviced Depositor, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator and any Non-Serviced Trust holding a related Non-Serviced Companion
Loan, shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to its rights as specifically provided for herein and under
the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(d)          Subject to Section 2.03(k), Section 2.03(l)(iv) and Section 2.03(l)(v), any Requesting Certificateholder
shall be an express third-party beneficiary to this Agreement for purposes of exercising rights under Section 2.03(k) through
Section 2.03(o).

 

Section
13.09  Article and Section Headings. The
article and section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof.

 

Section
13.10 Notices to the Rating Agencies. (a)
The Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts promptly to provide notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting
on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), (and the related 17g-5 information provider
for any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities to the extent applicable to any Serviced Whole Loan) with respect to each
of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

 

(i)      any
material change or amendment to this Agreement;

17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), with
respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

 

(i)         the
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator;

 

(ii)        any
change in the location of each applicable Collection Account;

 

(iii)       any
event that would result in the voluntary or involuntary termination of any insurance of the accounts of the Trustee;

 

(iv)      any change in the lien priority of any Mortgage Loan with respect to an assumption of the Mortgage Loan or additional encumbrance
described in Section 3.08;

 

(v)       any
additional lease to an anchor tenant or termination of any existing lease to an anchor tenant at retail properties for any Mortgage
Loan with a Stated Principal Balance that is equal to or greater than the lesser of (1) an amount greater than 5% of the then-aggregate
outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loans and (2) $35,000,000;

 

(vi)      any
material damage to any Mortgaged Property;

 

(vii)     any
assumption with respect to a Mortgage Loan; and

 

(viii)    any
release or substitution of any Mortgaged Property.

 

 
    (c)      The Certificate Administrator shall promptly furnish notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider for
posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), and thereafter to the Rating Agencies
of (i) any change in the location of the Distribution Accounts and (ii) the final payment to any Class of Certificateholders.

 

 
  (d)         The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any Master Servicer and any Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall furnish to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section
3.13(c), and thereafter to each Rating Agency (and any rating agency for any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities to
the extent applicable to any Serviced Whole Loan) with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan such information as any Rating Agency
shall reasonably request and which the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer, can reasonably provide in accordance with applicable law and without waiving any attorney-client privilege relating
to such information or violating the terms of this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
any Master Servicer and any Special Servicer, as applicable, may include any reasonable disclaimer it deems appropriate with respect
to such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 13.10 shall require a party
to provide duplicative notices or copies to the Rating Agencies with respect to any of the above listed items. In connection with
the delivery by any Master

 



    -502-


     


    

 

Servicer
or any Special Servicer to the 17g-5 Information Provider of any information, report, notice or document for posting to the 17g-5
Information Provider’s Website, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall notify such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer
when such information, report, notice or document has been posted. The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer,
as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to, send such information, report, notice or document to the applicable Rating
Agency so long as such information, report, notice or document (i) was previously provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider or
(ii) is simultaneously provided, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, to the 17g-5 Information Provider.

 

Section
13.11  Cooperation with the Mortgage Loan
Sellers with Respect to Rights Under the Mortgage Loan Agreements.
It is expressly agreed and understood that, notwithstanding the assignment of the Mortgage Loan documents, it is expressly
intended that the Mortgage Loan Sellers are entitled to the benefit of any securitization indemnification provisions that
specifically run to the benefit of the lenders in the Mortgage Loan documents. Therefore, the Depositor, Master Servicer,
Special Servicer and Trustee hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with any Mortgage Loan Seller, at the sole expense of such
Mortgage Loan Seller, with respect to obtaining the benefits of the provisions of any section of a loan agreement or
securitization cooperation agreement providing for indemnification of the lender and/or its loan seller affiliates with
respect to the current securitization of the related Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, executing any documents as
are reasonably necessary to permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller to enforce such provisions for its benefit; provided,
that none of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee shall be required to take any action that is
inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, would violate applicable law, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the
Mortgage Loan documents, would adversely affect any Certificateholder, would cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or would result in the
imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions.
To the extent that the Trustee is required to execute any document facilitating the above rights of a Mortgage Loan Seller
under this Section 13.11, such document shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.

    A-1-9


     


    

 


amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.


 


The Holder of the majority
of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the
other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of that time, the
other Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase

the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph
of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and
the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase;
provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicers, the Master Servicers, 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

Class A-S, Class B and Class C Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there
is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates,
Class R Certificates and RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of each applicable Master
Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and RR Interest) together
with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining

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

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 October 1, 2021 (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 General Master Servicer,
the General Special Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating
Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof. The Certificates are designated as the BANK 2021-BNK36, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2021-BNK36 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will
evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.


 


This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information
with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and
obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time,
the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any
conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This
Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”,
as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D


 






    A-2-5


     


    

 


of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance
hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding
sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured
by income. The Certificate Administrator shall be designated as the “partnership representative” within the meaning
of Section 6223 of the Code of each Trust REMIC. By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the Class R Certificates hereby agree
to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as “partnership representative” for the Trust REMICs.


 


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 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 Accounts and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of
Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each Master Servicer (with respect to its Collection Account)
or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.
Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the each Collection Accounts will be paid to the applicable
Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals
from the Collection Accounts shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such
purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust.


 


All
distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to
the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate
Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The
final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained
Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 






    A-2-6


     


    

 


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


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the
form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder
hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


 


Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition
of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar
person) (an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or
Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee
to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit
in substantially the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”)
of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee
historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands
that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual
interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become
due, (4) the


 






    A-2-7


     


    

 


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


 


The
Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 10% and integral
multiples of 1% in excess thereof.


 


No
fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer
or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted
by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each
transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer
or exchange.


 


The
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent
of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Registrar, or any
agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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
Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of that time, the other Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may,
at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect
of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by
clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior
to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, either Special
Servicer, either Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.


 


Following
the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided
that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the
Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent
of each applicable Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates
and RR Interest) together with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The
obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate
Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate
upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court
of St. James, 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.

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.

of any of the Certificates.


 


The
Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of that time, the other Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may,
at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect
of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by
clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior
to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicers,
the Master Servicers, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s
portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.


 


Following
the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-4, Class A-5,
Class A-S, Class B and Class C Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there
is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates,
Class R Certificates and RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of each applicable Master
Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and RR Interest) together
with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The
obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate
Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate
upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years

This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information
with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and
obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time,
the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any


 






    A-4-5


     


    

 


conflict
between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement shall govern.


 


This
Certificate represents (i) a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those
terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
and (ii) an undivided beneficial interest in a portion of the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets. Each Holder of this Certificate,
by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with
the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed
on or measured by income.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based
on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest
(including Excess Interest) then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate
for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums
distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.


 


Interest
on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the
Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate
immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will
be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Retained Certificate Available Funds to be distributed
on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate
as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Retained
Certificate Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution
Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Retained Certificate Realized Losses
allocated to the RR Interest will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.


 


This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage
Loans and Excess Interest actually collected on the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Accounts and the Distribution Accounts will be held
on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each
Master Servicer (with respect to its Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts)
will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments
to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the each
Collection Accounts will be paid


 






    A-4-6


     


    

 


to
the applicable Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
withdrawals from the Collection Accounts shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders,
such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust.


 


All
distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to
the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate
Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The
final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses or Retained
Certificate Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


 


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


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate from the prospective
Transferee in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certificate
from the prospective Transferor in the form set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The
RR Interest will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $1, and in integral multiples of
$0.01 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of


 






    A-4-7


     


    

 


each
such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.


 


No
fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer
or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted
by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each
transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer
or exchange.


 


The
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent
of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each applicable Master Servicer, each applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate
Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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
Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of that time, the other Special Servicer, the Master Servicer servicing the greater principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of that time, the other Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may,
at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect
of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by
clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator and the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than sixty (60) days prior
to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicers,
the Master Servicers, 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


 






    A-4-8


     


    

 


the
aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0%
of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.


 


Following
the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-4, Class A-5,
Class A-S, Class B and Class C Exchangeable Upper-Tier Regular Interests are no longer outstanding (and provided that there
is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates,
Class R Certificates and RR Interest)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of each applicable Master
Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V Certificates, Class R Certificates and RR Interest) together
with the payment or deemed payment of the Termination Purchase Amount for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The
obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate
Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate
upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court
of St. James, living on the date hereof.


 


Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar
has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes
no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans.


 


THIS
CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT
OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

$_______________ aggregate [Certificate Balance][Notional Amount][__% Percentage Interest] of Class ___ Certificates (the
“Certificates”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 






    Exhibit C-1 


     


    

 


In connection with such
transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:


 


1.       Check
one of the following:*


 


		☐	The Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institution
that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any entity in which all of the equity
owners are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D (each, an “Institutional
Accredited Investor”) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each
able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s or such account’s investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates
purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each
of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs
incurred by it in connection with this transfer.



 


		☐	The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) within
the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided
pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.



 


2.       The
Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificates (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for
reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer (i) to QIBs in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view
to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate)
to Institutional Accredited Investors, subject in the case of clause (ii) above to (w) the receipt by the Certificate
Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (x) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel
acceptable to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities
Act, (y) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such
reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and (z) a written undertaking
to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. The Purchaser understands that the
Certificates (and any subsequent Certificates) have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption
from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s
investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificates only to certain investors in certain exempted
transactions) as expressed herein.


 





 



 





*
Purchaser must select one of the following two certifications.

receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.


 


4.       The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificates (and any Certificates issued on transfer or exchange thereof) have not been registered

5.       The

	STATE OF	)	 
	 	) 	ss.:
	COUNTY OF	)	 


 


I, [______], under penalties
of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete,
and being first sworn, depose and say that:


 


1.       I
am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”),
on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.


 


2.       The
Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment
conduits (each, a “REMIC” or “Trust
REMIC”) designated as the (i)  “Lower-Tier REMIC”
and (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC”, respectively, relating
to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).


 


3.       The
Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization”
(as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee
of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization.
For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is


 






    Exhibit D-1-1 


     


    

 


any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political
subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an
instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any
international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt
from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business
taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates
(except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives
described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator
based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the
Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause a Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest
in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would
not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United
States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701
of the Code or successor provisions.


 


4.       The
Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances,
on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.


 


5.       The
Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is
[__________].


 


6.       No
purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.


 


7.       The
Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base,
within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.


 


8.       Check
the applicable paragraph:


 


☐       The present
value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum
of:


 


(i)      the
present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;


 


(ii)     the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and


 






    Exhibit D-1-2 


     


    

 


(iii)    the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.


 


For purposes of this
calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the 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


 






    Exhibit D-1-3 


     


    

 


 it will not consummate any
such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.


 


12.     The
Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not
a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a
Permitted Transferee.


 


13.     The
Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.


 


14.     The
Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions
is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.


 


15.     The
Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as “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, dated as of October 1, 2021 (the “Pooling
and Servicing Agreement”), between Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc., as Depositor, Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as General Special Servicer, National
Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB Master Servicer and NCB Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate
Administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as
Asset Representations Reviewer. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate
Registrar, that:


 


(1)       No
purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will
be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.


 


(2)       The
Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit in the form attached to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is
false.


 


(3)       The
Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as
contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor
has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to
indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in


 






    Exhibit D-2-1 


     


    

 


the future. The Transferor understands that
the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue
to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

below) in violation of this Confidentiality Agreement;


 


was
or is lawfully obtained by you from a source other than a Furnishing Entity or its representatives that (i) is reasonably believed

    Exhibit P-2-3 


     


    

 


disclose
the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents
and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such

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.


 


Violations
of this Confidentiality Agreement.


 


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


 


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


 






    Exhibit P-2-4 


     


    

 


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


 


Term.

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

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.

                                         attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and heretofore secured by the Mortgaged
                                         Properties identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule by the following names:____________________

                                         ____________________



 


Reference
is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
[General][NCB] Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:


 


(a) Notify
you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type
checked below:


 


____ a
full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or


 


____ a
partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of
$____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;


 


(b) Certify
that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which
exceptions the [General][NCB] Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse
effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:


 


(i)         The
Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in
all material respects in completing the defeasance.


 


(ii)        The
defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.


 


(iii)       The
defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’
Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance
Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity
cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.


 


(iv)       The
[General][NCB] Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the [General][NCB] Master Servicer in
accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.


 






    Exhibit U-2 


     


    

 


(v)        The
[General][NCB] Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance
Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real
Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to
restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original
Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns
no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.


 


(vi)       The
defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria)
in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary
and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.


 


(vii)      The
agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf
of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of
the defeasance collateral directly to the [General][NCB] Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the
dates specified in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed
to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan
documents (the “Scheduled Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only
in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance),
(iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after
the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of
the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other
than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary
for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance
Obligor.


 


(viii)     The
[General][NCB] Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were
approved by the [General][NCB] Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance
collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of
the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof
in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (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


 






    Exhibit U-3 


     


    

 


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
[General][NCB] Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid,
perfected first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the
defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.


 


(c)        Certify
that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor,
and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.


 


(d)        Certify
that the individual under whose hand the [General][NCB] Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed
did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.


 


(e)        Certify
that it has provided the required notices to, and obtained the required consents of, the related Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance
with Section 3.18(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


(f)         Agree
to provide copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.


 






    Exhibit U-4 


     


    

 


IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the [General][NCB] Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed as of the date captioned
above.

                                         Operating Advisor’s analysis of the Asset Status Reports (including related net
                                         present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations) related to the
                                         Specially Serviced Loans should be considered a limited investigation and not be considered
                                         a full or limited audit. 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 calculation, visit any property, visit the Special
                                         Servicer, visit the Directing Certificateholder or interact with any borrower. In addition,
                                         our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations
                                         is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application
                                         of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take
                                         into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

		2.	During
                                         the prior year, the Operating Advisor consulted with the Special Servicer regarding its
                                         strategy plan for a limited number of issues related to the following Specially Serviced
                                         Loans: [LIST]. The Operating Advisor participated in discussions and made strategic observations
                                         and recommended alternative courses of action to the extent it deemed such observations
                                         and recommendations appropriate.

                                         verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application
                                         of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable

                                         required to be utilized in connection with any Appraisal Reduction Amount or 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 prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer.


 


		a.	The

                                         in arriving at those mathematical calculations, such inaccuracy [has been/ has not been]
                                         resolved.



 


		5.	The

                                         discussed in this report: [LIST CONCERNS].



 


		6.	In
                                         addition to the other information presented herein, the Operating Advisor notes the following
                                         additional items, if any: [LIST ADDITIONAL ITEMS].



 


		IV.	Assumptions,
                                         Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related
                                         to this Report



 


		1.	As
                                         provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor (i) is not required
                                         to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard
                                         or the Special Servicer’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
                                         that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith,
                                         to be immaterial and (ii) will not be required in the ordinary course to provide or obtain
                                         a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion as part of that assessment.



 


		2.	In
                                         rendering our assessment herein, we have assumed that all executed factual statements,
                                         instruments, and other documents that we have relied upon in rendering this assessment
                                         have been executed by persons with legal capacity to execute such documents.



 


		3.	Except
                                         as may have been reflected in any Asset Status Report, 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 or borrower directly. As such,
                                         the Operating Advisor relied upon the information delivered to it by the Special Servicer
                                         as well as its interaction with the Special Servicer, if any, in gathering the relevant
                                         information to generate this report. The services that we perform are not designed and
                                         cannot be relied upon to detect fraud or illegal acts should any exist.



 


		4.	The
                                         Special Servicer has the legal authority and responsibility to service any Specially
                                         Serviced Loans pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The



 






    Exhibit V-3 


     


    

 


Operating
Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein or direct the actions of the Special Servicer.


 


		5.	Confidentiality
                                         and other contractual limitations limit the Operating Advisor’s ability to outline
                                         the details or substance of any communications held between it and the Special Servicer
                                         regarding any Specially Serviced Loans and certain information it reviewed in connection
                                         with its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As a result, this report may
                                         not reflect all the relevant information that the Operating Advisor is given access to
                                         by the Special Servicer.



 


		6.	There
                                         are many tasks that the Special Servicer undertakes on an ongoing basis related to Specially
                                         Serviced Loans. These include, but are not limited to, assumptions, ownership changes,
                                         collateral substitutions, capital reserve changes, etc. The Operating Advisor does not
                                         participate in any discussions regarding such actions. As such, Operating Advisor has
                                         not assessed the Special Servicer’s operational compliance with respect to those
                                         types of actions.



 


		7.	The
                                         Operating Advisor is not empowered to speak with any investors directly. If the investors
                                         have questions regarding this report, they should address such questions to the Certificate
                                         Administrator through the Certificate Administrator’s website.



 


		8.	This
                                         report does not constitute recommendations to buy, sell or hold any security, nor does
                                         the Operating Advisor take into account market prices of securities or financial markets
                                         generally when performing its limited review of the Special Servicer as described above.
                                         The Operating Advisor does not have a fiduciary relationship with any Certificateholder
                                         or any other party or individual. Nothing is intended to or should be construed as creating
                                         a fiduciary relationship between the Operating Advisor and any Certificateholder, party
                                         or individual.

is hereby made to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing
Agreement”), among the Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as General Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as General Special Servicer, National Cooperative Bank,

    Exhibit X-1 


     


    

  


[_____]

Page 2


 


[Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)/Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (“RCA”)/National
Cooperative Bank, N.A. (“NCB”)] 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/ RCA/ NCB] 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/ RCA/ NCB] by third parties,
(b) may not have been verified by [Wells Fargo/ RCA/ NCB], and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees
that [Wells Fargo/ RCA/ NCB], the [“General Master Servicer”/“General Special Servicer”/
“NCB Master Servicer”/ “NCB 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/ RCA/ NCB]’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/
RCA/ NCB]; (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/ RCA/ NCB]; (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/ RCA/ NCB]’s election): (i) responses to
reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with [Wells
Fargo/ RCA/ NCB]’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/ RCA/ NCB]
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/ RCA/ NCB] 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/ RCA/ NCB] shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential
Information if [Wells Fargo/ RCA/ NCB] has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower
under the Mortgage Loan documents and [Wells Fargo/ RCA/ NCB] determines that the provision, notice or access to such Confidential
Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in


 






    Exhibit X-2 


     


    

 


[_____]

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/
RCA/ NCB]’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)

NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer or the NCB Special Servicer be required to provide any information for inclusion
in a Form 10-K that relates to any Mortgage Loan for which such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer is not the applicable

Pursuant
to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “PSA”), the
Asset Representations Reviewer (“Asset Representations Reviewer”) shall perform an Asset Review with respect
to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller only with respect to each Delinquent Loan in accordance
with the procedures set forth below (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations
Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in this Exhibit PP if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is
necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with
the Asset Review Standard. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the PSA or, solely
with respect to a representation and warranty, the meaning set forth in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement (the “Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the performance of the following Tests:


 


		(A)	With
                                         respect to any representation and warranty that includes a knowledge qualifier (e.g.,
                                         to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, etc.), the Asset Representations Reviewer
                                         shall not be responsible for any investigation or review beyond that set forth in the
                                         applicable Test related to such representation and warranty;



  


		(B)	With
                                         respect to any representation and warranty that includes the examination of an insurance
                                         policy or Title Policy, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be permitted to engage
                                         a qualified consultant to perform a review of the applicable policy, and will be allowed
                                         to rely upon the conclusions of the consultant when making a determination as to whether
                                         there is a Test pass.



 


		(C)	The
                                         Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under no duty to provide or obtain a legal opinion,
                                         legal review or legal conclusion;



 


		(D)	Unless
                                         otherwise provided in the Test, the “as of” date for the testing of a representation
                                         is as of the Closing Date;



  


		(E)	Unless

The
Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests described in this Exhibit PP, and will not be
obligated to perform additional procedures on any Delinquent Loan, even if a different set of procedures or review Materials could
produce a different outcome. Notwithstanding the required Tests, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review
any information other than (1) Review Materials specified in the related Test and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.
The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider Unsolicited Information relevant to the Tests
subject to the terms of the PSA. If the Asset Representations Reviewer considers Unsolicited Information, the Asset Representations
Reviewer shall take into account such Unsolicited Information, in addition to the Review Materials referred to in the applicable
Test(s) procedure when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

    Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each
    Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment
    to the depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan
    Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee for the related Non-Serviced

    among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage

    Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected
    each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off
    Date.

    

    An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan
    no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due
    diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each
    related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows
    were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely
    the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.	12a	Review

    An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic
    zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum
    loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance,
    the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the
    resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake

    loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination
    did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured
    by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring,
    plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings
    in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use

    with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the
    real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to

    Ground Leases. For purposes of these representations and warranties, a “Ground Lease” shall mean
    a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms
    of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under
    such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject
    to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

    

    With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and
    the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon
    the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan
    Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan
    Seller represents and warrants that:

Loan, in each instance, whether or not made in violation of this Agreement), and the lien and security interests created thereby
and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Subordinated Interests”) shall at all times be junior, subject
and subordinate to the lien and security interest created by the Loan Documents and all of the terms, covenants, conditions, rights
and remedies contained in the Loan Documents, and no amendments or modifications of the Loan Documents or waivers of any provisions
thereof shall affect the subordination of the Subordinated Interests as set forth in this Section 3, it being understood
and agreed that the Loan Documents and the liens and security interests created thereby shall be and remain a prior lien against
the Project. In addition, all of Subordinated Lender’s rights to payment of the Subordinated Loan and the obligations evidenced
by the Subordinated Loan Documents are hereby subordinated to all of Lender’s rights to payment by Borrower of the Loan
and the obligations secured by the Loan Documents, and Subordinated Lender shall not accept or receive payments (including, without
limitation, whether in cash or other property and whether received directly, indirectly or by set-off, counterclaim or otherwise)
from Borrower and/or from the Project upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Loan Documents) under the Loan. If a Proceeding shall have occurred, Lender shall be entitled to receive payment and performance
in full of all amounts due or to become due to Lender before Subordinated Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account
of the Subordinated Loan. All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Subordinated Loan which are received by Subordinated
Lender contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received and held in trust by the Subordinated Lender for the benefit

the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Subordinated Lender from

Modifications, Amendments, Etc.


 


(a)       
Lender shall have the right without the consent of Subordinated Lender in each instance to enter into any amendment, deferral,

Loan Modification”) of the Loan or the Loan Documents provided that no such Senior Loan Modification shall


 






    Exhibit TT-9


     


    

 


(i) increase
the interest rate or principal amount of the Loan, (ii) increase in any other material respect any monetary obligations of
Borrower under the Loan Documents, (iii) extend or shorten the scheduled maturity date of the Loan (except that Lender may
permit Borrower to exercise any extension options in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents), (iv) convert
or exchange the Loan into or for any other indebtedness or subordinate any of the Loan to any indebtedness of Borrower, (v) amend
or modify the provisions limiting transfers of interests in the Borrower or the Project, (vi) cross default the Loan with
any other indebtedness, (vii) obtain any contingent interest, additional interest or so-called “kicker” measured

premium or yield maintenance charge or increase the amount of any such prepayment fee, premium or yield maintenance charge; provided,
however, in no event shall Lender be obligated to obtain Subordinated Lender’s consent to a Senior Loan Modification
in the case of a work-out or other surrender, compromise, release, renewal, or indulgence relating to the Loan during the existence

(with respect to increase principal amount only), or clause (viii) be modified without the written consent of Subordinated
Lender. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, any amounts funded by the Lender under
the Loan Documents as a result of (A) the making of any protective advances or other advances by the Lender, or (B) interest
accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest), shall not be deemed to contravene this Section 2.


 


(b)       
Subordinated Lender shall have the right without the consent of Lender in each instance to enter into any amendment, deferral,
extension, modification, increase, renewal, replacement, consolidation, supplement or waiver (collectively, a “Subordinated
Loan Modification”) of the Subordinated Loan or the Subordinated Loan Documents provided that no such Subordinated Loan
Modification shall (i) increase the interest rate or principal amount of the Subordinated Loan, (ii) increase in any
other material respect any monetary obligations of under the Subordinated Loan Documents, (iii) extend or shorten the scheduled
maturity date of the Subordinated Loan (except that Subordinated Lender may permit Borrower to exercise any extension options
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Loan Documents), (iv) convert or exchange the Subordinated
Loan into or for any other indebtedness or subordinate the Subordinated Loan to any indebtedness of Borrower, (v) provide
for any additional contingent interest, additional interest or so called “kicker” measured on the basis of the cash
flow or appreciation of the Project (or other similar equity participation), (vi) amend or modify the provisions of the Subordinated
Loan Documents limiting transfers of direct or indirect interest in Borrower, (vii) modify or amend the terms and provision
of any Subordinated Loan Document with respect to the manner, timing or method of the application of payments under the Subordinated
Loan Documents, (vi) cross default the Subordinated Loan with any other indebtedness, or (vii) amend or modify the provisions
limiting transfers of interests in the Borrower or the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
an Event of Default exists under the Subordinated Loan Documents, Subordinated Lender shall be permitted to modify or amend the
Subordinated Loan Documents in connection with a work out or other surrender, compromise, release, renewal or modification of
the Subordinated Loan except that under no conditions shall clause (i), with respect to increases in principal amounts only,
clause (ii), clause (iii) (with respect to shortening the maturity only), clause (iv) or


 






    Exhibit TT-10


     


    

 


clause (v) be modified
without the written consent of the Lender. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(b),
any amounts funded by the Subordinated Lender under the Subordinated Loan Documents as a result of (A) the making of any
Protective Advances or other advances by the Subordinated Lender, or (B) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding
thereof (including default interest), shall not be deemed to contravene this Section 6(b).


 


(c)        
Lender shall deliver to Subordinated Lender copies of any and all modifications, amendments, extensions, consolidations, spreaders,
restatements, alterations, changes or revisions to any one or more of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any side
letters, waivers or consents entered into, executed or delivered by Lender) within a reasonable time after any of such applicable
instruments have been executed by Lender.


 


(d)       
Subordinated Lender shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all modifications, amendments, extensions, consolidations, spreaders,
restatements, alterations, changes or revisions to any one or more of the Subordinated Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
any side letters, waivers or consents entered into, executed or delivered by Subordinated Lender) within a reasonable time after
any of such applicable instruments have been executed by Subordinated Lender.


 


5.          
Default Notice.


 


(a)        
Subordinated Lender shall give Lender notice of any default under the Subordinated Loan Documents promptly upon the giving of
such notice of default to Borrower and in all instances prior to accelerating the Subordinated Loan on account of such default.
Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any such default, in which event Subordinated Lender shall accept such cure by
Lender as and for the cure by Borrower.


 


(b)       
Lender shall give Subordinated Lender notice of any default under the Loan Documents promptly upon the giving of such notice of
default to Borrower and in all instances prior to accelerating the Loan on account of such default. Subordinated Lender may, but
shall not be obligated to, cure any such default within the time period afforded to the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents,
in which event Lender shall accept such cure by Subordinated Lender as and for the cure by Borrower.


 


6.         
Casualty and Condemnation. In the event of a casualty to the buildings or improvements constructed on any portion of the
Project or a condemnation or taking under a power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Project, Lender shall have a
first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event
(the “Award”). Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that so long as the Loan is outstanding, it has
no lien on or security interest in any Award, nor any rights with respect to any Award except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
and Subordinated Lender assigns its rights to any Award to Lender up to an amount equal to the then outstanding amount of the
Loan. Subordinated Lender agrees to promptly, upon request by Lender, execute and deliver to Lender and/or to any other party
as so directed by Lender, a written confirmation of the terms set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and take sure other
actions reasonably requested by Lender to further evidence the foregoing agreement (although failure of


 






    Exhibit TT-11


     


    

 


Subordinated Lender to
do so shall not affect the foregoing agreement). If the amount of the Award is in excess of all amounts owed to Lender under the
Loan Documents, however, and either the Loan has been paid in full or Borrower is entitled to a remittance of same under the Loan
Documents other than to restore the Project, such excess Award or portion to be so remitted to Borrower shall, to the extent permitted
in the Loan Documents and required by the Subordinated Loan Documents, be paid to or at the direction of Subordinated Lender,
unless other Persons have claimed the right to such awards or proceeds, in which case Lender shall only be required to provide
notice to Subordinated Lender of such excess Award and of any other claims thereto. In the event of any competing claims for any
such excess Award, Lender shall continue to hold such excess Award until Lender receives an agreement signed by all Persons making
a claim to the excess Award or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Lender as to how and to which Person(s)
the excess Award is to be distributed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Lender shall
release the Award from any such event to the Borrower if and to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents
in order to repair and restore the Project in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any portion of the
Award made available to the Borrower for the repair or restoration of the Project shall not be subject to attachment by Subordinated
Lender.


 


7.         
Foreclosure of the Subordinated Mortgage: Subordinated Lender expressly agrees that, for so long as a Loan shall remain
outstanding, (A) due notice of the commencement of any foreclosure of the Subordinated Loan Documents shall be given to Lender,
and true copies of all papers served or entered in such action will be delivered to Lender, (B) no portion of the rents,
issues and profits of the Project shall be collected in connection with the foreclosure of the Subordinated Loan Documents except
through a receiver appointed by the court in which such foreclosure action is brought, after due notice for the appointment of
such receiver shall have been given to Lender, (C) the rents, issues and profits collected by any such receiver shall be
applied first to the payment of taxes, maintenance and operating charges and disbursements incurred in connection with the operation
and maintenance of the Project and next to the payment of principal and interest (including, without limitation, default interest
and late payment charges) due under the Loan Documents, and (D) if during the pendency of any such foreclosure action an
action shall be brought for the foreclosure of the Loan Documents and an application shall be made for an extension of the receivership
for the benefit of Lender, all such rents, issues and profits held by such receiver as of the date of such application shall be
applied by the receiver solely for the benefit of Lender, and the Subordinated Lender shall not be entitled to any portion thereof
until Lender has received all amounts then due to it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subordinated Lender consents
to, and shall not object to, any action or proceeding at any time initiated by Lender for the appointment of a receiver and Subordinated
Lender further agrees that it shall not institute any action or proceeding for the appointment of a receiver at any time during
which a receiver shall have already been appointed for the benefit of Lender, and if Subordinated Lender shall have appointed
or caused the appointment of a receiver prior to Lender’s initiation of proceedings to do so, Subordinated Lender agrees
to take all action reasonably necessary to terminate such appointment in order to facilitate Lender’s appointment of same.


 


8.          
Rights of Subrogation. No payment or distribution to Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and no Protective
Advance by Subordinated Lender shall entitle


 






    Exhibit TT-12


     


    

 


Subordinated Lender to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof prior
to the payment in full of the Loan, and Subordinated Lender agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies
under the Subordinated Loan Documents permitted hereunder, prior to the satisfaction of all obligations under the Loan it shall
not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any portion of the Project or any other
collateral now securing the Loan or the proceeds therefrom that is or may be prior to, or of equal priority to, any of the Loan
Documents or the liens, rights, estates and interests created thereby.


 


9.          
Transfer of Subordinated Loan or Loan. Subordinated Lender shall not Transfer more than 49% of its beneficial interest
in the Subordinated Loan unless either (i) a Rating Agency Confirmation has been given with respect to such Transfer, in
which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes of this
Agreement, or (ii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations
of Subordinated Lender hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof. Such proposed transferee shall also
remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the Lender.


 


At
least five (5) days prior to a transfer to a Qualified Transferee, the Subordinated Lender shall provide to Lender a certification
that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 9, such certification to include the name and contact information
of the Qualified Transferee, and a statement as to how it meets the definition of Qualified Transferee.


 


Subordinated

change is sought.


 


15.       
Counterpart Originals. This Agreement may be executed in counterpart originals, each of which shall constitute an original,
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.


 


16.       
No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided
by law.


 


17.       
No Joint Venture. Nothing provided herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common or joint

19.

and the terms and conditions of any of the Loan Documents or the Subordinated Loan Documents, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control.


 


20.       
No Release. Nothing herein contained shall operate to release Borrower from (a) its obligation to keep and perform
all of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Loan Documents or (b) any liability
of Borrower under the Loan Documents or to release Borrower from (x) its obligation to keep and perform all of the terms,
conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Subordinated Loan Documents or (y) any liability of Borrower
under the Subordinated Loan Documents.


 


21.       
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application hereof to any party hereto shall, to
any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, then such provision shall be
deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation
or rule of law, and the remainder of this Agreement and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provisions to parties,
jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby
nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.


 


22.       
Expenses.


 


(a)

    Exhibit TT-15


     


    

 


expenses of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which Lender may incur in connection with the (i) exercise
or enforcement of any of the rights of Lender against Subordinated Lender hereunder to the extent that Lender is the prevailing
party in any dispute with respect thereto or (ii) failure by Subordinated Lender to perform or observe any of the provisions
hereof.


 


(b)       
Lender agrees upon demand to pay to Subordinated Lender the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which Subordinated Lender may incur in connection
with the (i) exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Subordinated Lender against Lender hereunder to the extent that
Subordinated Lender is the prevailing party in any dispute with respect thereto or (ii) failure by Lender to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof.


 


23.       
Injunction. Lender and Subordinated Lender each acknowledge (and waive any defense based on a claim) that monetary damages
are not an adequate remedy to redress a breach by the other hereunder and that a breach by either Lender or Subordinated Lender
hereunder would cause irreparable harm to the other. Accordingly, Lender and Subordinated Lender agree that upon a breach of this
Agreement by the other, the remedies of injunction, declaratory judgment and specific performance shall be available to such non
breaching party.


 


24.       
Each of Lender and Subordinated Lender acknowledges that the Loan, the Loan Documents, the Subordinated Loan and the Subordinated
Loan Documents are distinct, separate transactions and loans, separate and apart from each other. Each of Lender and Subordinated
Lender agrees that the other shall be treated as a separate lender with a distinct and separate loan.


 


25.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and benefit both Lender and Subordinated Lender and their
respective permitted successors and assigns. Lender shall have the right to record this Agreement.

Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed
and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

party charges with such waiver, amendment or supplement.


 


29.

of (a) payment in full of the Loan, (b) transfer of the Project by foreclosure of the Loan Documents or the exercise of the power
of sale
