Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021, between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as Depositor,
KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, KeyBank National Association, as General Special Servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC,
as Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Paying Agent
and Custodian, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and
Asset Representations Reviewer.


 


PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:


 


(Terms
used but not defined in this Preliminary Statement shall have

the meanings specified in Article I hereof)


 


The
Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes which in the aggregate will evidence
the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. For income tax purposes
alone, the Trust Fund will consist of the Mortgage Loans, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Grantor Trust, all
as more fully described below. In addition, a REMIC was formed on April 5, 2021, (the “JW Marriott Nashville REMIC”)
with respect to the JW Marriott Nashville note and certain other JW Marriott Nashville Pari Passu Companion Loans, which issued
a class of regular interests (the “JW Marriott Nashville Regular Interest”) (of which the trust will own a
50% interest, and a single residual interest (of which the trust will own a 0% interest). The Certificate Administrator will not
be responsible for any tax administration relating to the JW Marriott Nashville REMIC.


 


In
addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets
and the uncertificated regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC corresponding to the VRR Interest (“VRR Regular Interests”)
and distributions thereon, shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code
for federal income tax purposes (the “Grantor Trust”). Solely for tax purposes, the Class S Certificates and
the VRR Interest shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class S Specific
Grantor Trust Assets and the VRR Interest shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting
of the VRR Regular Interests and distributions thereon. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions
expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its status
as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of the Trust REMICs.


 


LOWER-TIER
REMIC


 


The
Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (or, in the case of the JW Marriott Nashville Mortgage Loan, an approximately 50%
interest in the JW Marriott Nashville Regular Interest) (exclusive of Excess Interest) and certain other related assets subject
to this Agreement, and will issue (i) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests set forth in the table below (the “Lower-Tier
Regular Interests”), as classes of regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC and (ii) the Class LTR Interest as
the sole class of residual interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, which will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates.


 






    -1-


     


    

 


The
Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Upper-Tier REMIC.


 


The
following table sets forth the Class designation, initial principal balance or notional amount (as applicable) and initial pass-through
rate of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interest and its “Corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest”:

                                         is not entitled to distributions of principal or interest.



 






    -3-


     


    

 


The
foregoing structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) 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 12.08 of this Agreement.


 


None
of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class S or Class R Certificates have Certificate
Balances. Additionally, neither the Class S nor Class R Certificates have a Notional Amount. The Certificate Balance of any
Class of Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount which Holders
thereof are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other
assets in the Trust Fund; provided that if amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable,
to a Class of Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof are subsequently recovered (including without limitation
after the reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Class to zero), such Class may receive distributions in respect of such
recoveries in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement.


 


GRANTOR
TRUST


 


The
Class S Certificates and the VRR Interest shall each represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund
consisting of the Class S Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the VRR Interest shall each represent undivided beneficial interests
in the VRR Regular Interests and distributions thereon. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions
that would cause the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust (i) to fail to maintain its status as a “grantor
trust” under federal income tax law or (ii) to be treated as part of any Trust REMIC.


 


On
the Closing Date, the Depositor is selling, assigning and transferring and otherwise conveying to DBNY, the VRR Interest (which
assignment, transfer and conveyance shall, solely for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 3(a) and Section 4(a)(1)
of the Risk Retention Rule, be deemed assigned, transferred and conveyed from the Depositor to GACC and from GACC to DBNY).


 


To
the fullest extent permitted by law, any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement
shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity and intended tax treatment of the Trust REMICs and the Grantor Trust
and causes the maximum amounts to be paid with respect to the holders of the REMIC regular interests.

zero


 






    -13-

if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, pro rata, between the related Serviced Mortgage
Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances.

Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, (iv) the date on which the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Whole Loan becomes an REO Property and (v) with respect to a Balloon Loan, a payment default shall have occurred with respect
to the related Balloon Payment; provided, however, that if (a) the related Borrower is diligently seeking a
refinancing or sale of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties and delivers, on or prior to the related Maturity
Date or extended Maturity Date, a statement to that effect, and delivers, within 30 days following the related Maturity Date or
extended Maturity Date, a refinancing commitment, letter of intent or otherwise binding application for refinancing from an acceptable
lender or a signed purchase agreement reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer (who shall promptly deliver a copy to the Special
Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing)), (b) the
related Borrower continues to make its Assumed Scheduled Payment, and (c) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred
with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall not occur until the earlier
of (1) 120 days beyond the related Maturity Date (or extended Maturity Date) and (2) the termination of such refinancing
commitment, letter of intent, otherwise binding application for refinancing or signed purchase agreement. The Special Servicer
shall notify the Master Servicer promptly upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events with respect to any Specially Serviced

anything to the contrary in the definition of Appraisal Reduction Event, no event, circumstance or action that has occurred or
will occur with respect to a COVID Modified Loan (other than an event described in clauses (iii) or (iv) of the definition of
Appraisal Reduction Event) or the entry into of a COVID Modification Agreement shall constitute an Appraisal Reduction Event,
but only if, and for so long as, the related Borrower and each related obligor is in compliance with the terms of the related
COVID Modification Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a Borrower fails to comply with the terms of a COVID Modification
Agreement (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a determination as to whether any
applicable event specified in the preceding sentence


 






    -14-


     


    

 


constitutes an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be made as though the COVID
Modification never occurred; provided, however, if, pursuant to this sentence, an Appraisal Reduction Event is determined
to occur prior to the date of such Borrower’s failure, then such Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to occur on the
date of such Borrower’s failure.

to the aggregate indebtedness under the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan(s).


 


“Withheld
Amount”: With respect to each Mortgage Loan that accrues interest on an Actual/360 Basis, and with respect to each Distribution
Date occurring in any January of each calendar year that is not a leap year and February of each calendar year,
unless in either case such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date, an amount equal to one day’s interest at the
Net Mortgage Rate on the respective Stated Principal Balance as of the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which
the Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs, to the extent a Periodic Payment or P&I Advance or other deposit is made in respect
of the Mortgage Loans.


 


The
Withheld Amount for each applicable Distribution Date for each Mortgage Loan that does not accrue interest on a 30/360 basis will
be equal to 1/31 of the interest accrued in respect of the immediately preceding Due Date, to the extent a Periodic Payment or
P&I Advance is made in respect thereof.


 


“Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts”: With respect to any Mortgage Loan or, with respect to Servicing Advances, any Serviced Whole
Loan, the amount of any Advance made with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, on or before the
date such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan becomes (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms,
would then constitute) a Corrected Mortgage Loan, together with (to the extent accrued and unpaid) interest on such Advances,
to the extent that (i) such Advance is not reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any,
on which such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount of such Advance
becomes an obligation of the related Borrower to pay such amount under the terms of the modified Loan Documents.

“Workout
Fee”: An amount equal to the lesser of (1) 1.0% (or 0.50%, in the case of the Equus Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan)
of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments (provided that a repurchase or
substitution by a Mortgage Loan Seller of a Mortgage Loan due to a Material Defect or a Material Breach shall not be considered
a prepayment for purposes of this definition), Balloon Payments and payments at maturity, but excluding late payment charges,
Default Interest and Excess Interest) received on a Specially Serviced Loan that becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan for so long
as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement and (2) $1,000,000, in
the aggregate with respect to any particular workout of a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that in the event the Workout
Fee with respect to a Corrected Mortgage Loan is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from
the final payment on the related Corrected Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in
the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced
Companion Loan) to be equal to $25,000; provided, further, that the Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage
Loan shall be capped in accordance with Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement; provided, further that no
Workout Fee shall be payable by the Trust with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan if and to the extent that the Corrected
Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan under clause (c) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan”
(and no other clause of such definition) and no event of default actually occurs, unless the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion
Loan is modified by the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that
if a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan only because of an event described in clause (a) of
the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” and the related collection of principal and interest is received within
4 months following the related maturity date as a result of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan being refinanced
or otherwise repaid in full, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to collect a Workout Fee out of the proceeds received
in connection with such workout if such fee would reduce the amount available for distributions to Certificateholders, but the
Special Servicer may collect from the related Borrower and retain (x) a workout fee, (y) such other fees as are provided
for in the related Loan Documents and (z) other appropriate fees in connection with such workout; provided, further,
however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at 1.0% is less than $25,000,
then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Mortgage Loan (including
any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of
that Corrected Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) to be $25,000. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the total amount of Workout Fees payable by the Trust with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan and with respect to any particular
workout (assuming, for the purposes of this calculation, that such Corrected Mortgage Loan continues to perform throughout its
term in accordance with the terms of the related workout) shall be reduced by the amount of any and all related Offsetting Modification
Fees received by the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation relating to such Corrected Mortgage Loan; provided
that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to collect such Workout Fees from the Trust until such time it has been fully
paid such reduced amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to pay a Workout Fee
in connection with a repurchase or substitution to the extent the Special Servicer was entitled to such a fee and such fee was
unpaid immediately prior to such repurchase or substitution or was previously paid by the Trust and was not reimbursed by the
related Borrower immediately prior to such repurchase or substitution. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon a


 






    -120-


     


    

 


Specially Serviced
Loan becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a calculation of the total
amount of Workout Fees expected to be payable by the Trust with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan throughout its term (which
calculation shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer) and the total amount of related Offsetting Modification Fees
received by the Special Servicer.


 


“Yield
Maintenance Charge”: With respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, the yield maintenance charge set
forth in the related Loan Documents; provided that, amounts shall be considered Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to the
allocation set forth under Section 1.02(f) or Section 1.02(g), as applicable.

for herein shall be made as set forth in the Loan Documents for such Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loans,
with respect to the calculation of the related Mortgage Rate. The Servicing Fee, the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, the
CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee and the Operating Advisor Fee for each Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Whole Loan, as applicable, shall accrue on the same basis as interest accrues on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as

(b)              
Any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan payment is deemed to be received on the date such payment is actually received by the
Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator; provided that for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates,
Principal Prepayments with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan are deemed to be received on the date they are
applied in accordance with Section 3.01(b) of this Agreement to reduce the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Whole Loan on which interest accrues.


 


(c)               
Except as otherwise provided in the related Loan Documents or Intercreditor Agreement, any amounts received in respect of a Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing in excess of Periodic Payments shall be applied
to Default Interest and other amounts due on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan prior to the application to late fees.


 


(d)         
      Allocations of payments between a Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loans in a
Whole Loan shall be made in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, primarily to the
administration of the Trust Fund, any Trust REMIC, the Grantor Trust or to any determination respecting the amount, payment
or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, or Grantor Trust

tax or
expense or this Agreement states that any expense is solely “an expense of the Trust Fund” or words of similar
import, then such expense shall not be allocated to, deducted or reimbursed from, or otherwise charged against any Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholder and such Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder shall not suffer any adverse consequences as a result
of the payment of such expense.


 


(f)                
All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of any Mortgage Loan (other than an REO Loan) in the form of payments

case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, of any amounts payable to the holder of the related Serviced Companion

with the execution and delivery hereof on the Closing Date, does hereby establish a trust designated as “Benchmark 2021-B26
Mortgage Trust,” appoint the Trustee as trustee of the Trust Fund and sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey
to the Trustee without recourse (except to the extent herein provided) all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and

With
respect to Serviced Whole Loans, except for the Mortgage Note referred to in clause (i)(B) of the second preceding
paragraph, only a single original set of the Loan Documents specified above is required to be delivered. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any assignments or other transfer documents referred to

    -133-


     


    

 


Custodian, the preceding document delivery requirements will

with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ceases to be Custodian with respect
to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, it shall, upon receipt of a request for release, provide the original note, allonge and intercreditor
agreement and copies of all other Loan Documents specified above to the successor Custodian.


 


With
respect to the Mortgage Loans, within 45 days after the Closing Date or, without limiting the requirements of the third paragraph
of Section 2.01(b), after such later date on which the Mortgage Loan Seller has received all the missing recording/filing
information, each Mortgage Loan Seller will, or will at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller retain a third party vendor to,
except in the case of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, (1) complete (to the extent necessary) and
submit for recording in favor of the Trustee in the following form: “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee,
for the benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B26”
(and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in the appropriate public recording
office (a) each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in Section 2.01(a)(iii) which has not yet been submitted for recording
and (b) each Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits referred to in Section 2.01(a)(viii)(B) (if
not otherwise included in the related Assignment of Mortgage) which has not yet been submitted for recordation; and (2) complete
(to the extent necessary) and file in the appropriate public filing office each UCC assignment of financing statement referred
to in Section 2.01(a)(v)(B) and (xiii) which has not yet been submitted for filing or recording. Each such document
shall reflect that the recorded original should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee (or
to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee as an alternative) following recording, and each such document shall reflect that
the file copy thereof should be returned to the Custodian or its designee (or to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee as an
alternative) following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Assignment of Mortgage or Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, the Custodian shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original, at the expense of the Depositor. In the event that any
such document or instrument in respect of any Mortgage Loan is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because
of a defect therein, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute thereof
or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document
to or at the direction of the Custodian or such other third party vendor as retained by the Mortgage Loan Seller for recording
or filing, as appropriate, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense (as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement).
In the event that any Mortgage Loan Seller receives the original recorded or filed copy, each Mortgage Loan Seller will, promptly
upon receipt of the


 






    -134-


     


    

 


original recorded or filed copy (and in no event later than five Business Days following such receipt) deliver
such original to the Custodian, with evidence of filing or recording thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, Assignment
of Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits or Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if applicable,
after any has been recorded, the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of a copy of the recorded original of such Mortgage, Assignment
of Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits or Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if applicable.


 


If
a Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of the related
lender’s title insurance policy referred to in Section 2.01(a)(vii) solely because such policy has not yet been
issued, the delivery requirements of this Section 2.01 will be deemed to be satisfied as to such missing item, and
such missing item will be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File by delivery to the Custodian of a binder marked
as binding and countersigned by the title insurer or its authorized agent (which may be a pro forma or specimen title insurance
policy which has been accepted or approved as binding in writing by the related title insurance company) or an acknowledged closing
instruction or escrow letter, and the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver to the Custodian, promptly following the
receipt thereof, the original related lender’s title insurance policy (or a copy thereof). Copies of recorded or filed Assignments
of Mortgage, Reassignments of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits and UCC assignments of financing statements shall be held
by the Custodian.


 


Subject
to the third preceding paragraph, all original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not delivered to the Custodian
are and shall be held by the Depositor or the Master Servicer (or a sub-servicer on its behalf), as the case may be, in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, insofar as they also relate to the Serviced Companion Loans, on behalf of and for
the benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. In the event that any such original document, or in the case of
a Serviced Companion Loan, the original Mortgage Note, is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of
a Mortgage File in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian.


 


(b)              
In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby
represents and warrants that it has directed, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to deliver to and deposit with or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, (i) the Custodian, on or before the Closing
Date, subject to Section 2.01(a), for each Mortgage Loan so assigned the Mortgage Note (or a copy of the Mortgage

of the title policy for each Mortgage Loan (subject to the second-to-last paragraph under Section 2.01(a)), a copy

related space lease or air rights lease), if applicable, for each Mortgage Loan and an original (or copy, if the original is held

of credit held by the lender

the following paragraph, within 30 days following the Closing Date, the remaining applicable documents referred to in Section 2.01(a) for
each such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, in each case, with copies to the Master Servicer and (ii) the Master
Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, all documents and records that are part of each applicable Servicing File. If the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage Note, such Mortgage
Loan Seller shall deliver a copy or duplicate original of such Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit certifying that the original
thereof has been lost or destroyed and an indemnification in favor of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian.

the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan (subject
to any qualifications provided for herein or in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan), the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(iii),
Section 2.01(a)(v), Section 2.01(a)(viii), Section 2.01(a)(xiv) and Section 2.01(a)(xvi)
and the UCC financing statements and UCC assignments of financing statements referred to in Section 2.01(a)(xiii),
with evidence of recording or filing thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where
such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, or because such original recorded or filed document
has been lost or returned from the recording or filing office and subsequently lost, as the case may be, the delivery requirements
of Section 2.01 shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed
to have been included in the related Mortgage File, provided that a copy of such document or instrument (without evidence
of recording or filing thereon, but certified (which certificate may relate to multiple documents and/or instruments) by the applicable
public recording or filing office, the applicable title insurance company or the related Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and
complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be) has been delivered to the Custodian
within 60 days after the Closing Date, and either the original of such missing document or instrument, or a copy thereof, with
evidence of recording or filing, as the case may be, thereon, is delivered to the Custodian within 180 days after the Closing
Date (or within such longer period after the Closing Date so long as the related Mortgage Loan Seller has provided the Custodian
with evidence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, or has certified to the Custodian as to the occurrence of such
recording or filing, as the case may be, and is, as certified to the Custodian no less often than quarterly, in good faith attempting
to obtain from the appropriate county recorder’s or filing office such original or copy, provided such extensions do not
exceed 24 months in the aggregate).


 


(c)               
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the documents referred to in Section 2.01(a)(xix)
and Section 2.01(a)(xx) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall hold (or the applicable Other Servicer with respect
to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will hold) the original of each such document in trust on behalf of the Trust (or the applicable
Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in order to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust (or
the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed
to have satisfied the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01
of this Agreement by delivering the original of each such document to the Master


 






    -136-


     


    

 


Servicer (or the applicable Other Servicer with
respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) who shall forward a copy of the applicable document to the Custodian (or the custodian
in the applicable Other Securitization with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall
pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (which amendment shall change the beneficiary of the letter
of credit to the Trust (or the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in care of the Master Servicer
(or the applicable Other Servicer with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)) required in order for the Master Servicer (or
the applicable Other Servicer with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the
Trust (or the applicable Other Trust with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). In the event that the documents specified
in Section 2.01(a)(xx) of this Agreement are missing with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan because the related
assignment or amendment documents have not been completed, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall take all necessary steps
to enable the Master Servicer to draw on the related letter of credit on behalf of the Trust including, if necessary, drawing
on the letter of credit in its own name pursuant to written instructions from the Master Servicer and immediately remitting such
funds (or causing such funds to be remitted) to the Master Servicer.

(e)               
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of the related
Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver a Note to the Trustee, or a Custodian on its behalf, shall be limited to delivery of only the
Note held by such party to the Trustee, or Custodian on its behalf. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of
each Mortgage Loan Seller 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 related Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver

such delivery shall satisfy such delivery requirements for each of the related Mortgage Loan Sellers.


 


(f)

Section 2.02         
Acceptance by Custodian and the Trustee. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the
assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans in good faith without notice of adverse claims and declares that the Custodian holds and
will hold such documents and all others delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File (to the extent the documents constituting
the Mortgage File are actually delivered to the Custodian) for any Mortgage Loan assigned to the Trustee hereunder in trust, upon
the conditions herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan
Noteholders.


 


The
Custodian hereby certifies to each of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and each Mortgage Loan Seller that except as identified in the Custodian’s
closing date certification, which shall be delivered no later than two Business Days after the Closing Date substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit N-1 to this Agreement, (i) each Mortgage Note (or copy thereof, with respect to any Serviced
Companion Loan) is in its possession and has been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten
additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appears to have
been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (ii) each of the documents specified
in Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(vii), Section 2.01(a)(xi) and Section 2.01(a)(xix)
of this Agreement have been received, have been executed, appear to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or
filed (as applicable) and have not been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the Custodian does not send a closing date
certification on the Closing Date, it shall send an email confirmation to the Trustee that it has received all of the Mortgage
Notes (or copies or lost note affidavits as permitted), subject to any exceptions noted therein, on the Closing Date.


 


On
or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the
Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day
on which all material exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased
or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review each Mortgage File and shall certify to each of
the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and each Mortgage Loan Seller in the form attached as Exhibit N-2
to this Agreement that all documents (other than documents referred to in clauses (xix) and (xx) of Section 2.01(a) of
this Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, and the documents referred to in clauses (iii), (iv)(B),
(v)(B) and (viii)(B) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and the assignments of financing
statements referred to in clause (xiii) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, which shall be delivered
for filing or recording by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as provided herein) referred to in Section 2.01(a) above
(in the case of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(a)(iv), Section 2.01(a)(vi), Section 2.01(a)(viii),
Section 2.01(a)(ix), Section 2.01(a)(x), Section 2.01(a)(xi), Section 2.01(a)(xii)
through Section 2.01(a)(xvi) and Section 2.01(a)(xviii) through Section 2.01(a)(xx) of
this Agreement, as


 






    -138-


     


    

 


identified to it in writing as a document required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller) and
any original recorded documents included in the delivery of a Mortgage File have been received, have been executed, appear to
be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn in any materially adverse manner
or mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
In so doing, the Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness
of any signature thereon. With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall only be required to certify to each
of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and each Mortgage Loan Seller that the document set forth in Section 2.01(a)(i)
has been received, subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.02.


 


If
at the conclusion of such review any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File have not been executed or received,
have not been recorded or filed (if required), are unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, appear
not to be what they purport to be or have been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, the Custodian
shall promptly so notify (in the form attached as Exhibit M to this Agreement) the Trustee, the Directing Holder (but
only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the related Mortgage Loan Seller by providing
a written report, setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of the defective or missing document.
The Depositor shall or shall cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Custodian an executed, recorded or undamaged
document, as applicable, or, if the failure to deliver such document in such form constitutes a Material Defect, the Depositor
shall cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to cure, repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in the manner provided
in Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the Custodian or the Trustee shall be responsible for any loss, cost, damage or expense to the Trust Fund resulting from any failure
to receive any document constituting a portion of a Mortgage File noted on such a report or for any failure by the Depositor to
use its best efforts to deliver any such document.


 


Within
10 Business Days following the Closing Date or upon any earlier request made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the
Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit C
to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, that permits such parties
to take such other action as is necessary to effect the delivery, assignment and/or recordation of any documents and/or instruments
relating to any Mortgage Loan which have not been delivered, assigned or recorded at the time required for enforcement by the
Trust Fund. Pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers will be required to effect
(at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller) the assignment and recordation of its respective Loan Documents until
the assignment and recordation of all such Loan Documents has been completed.


 


In
reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to the third preceding paragraph or Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall have no responsibility to cause the


 






    -139-


     


    

 


Custodian or Trustee to, and the Custodian or Trustee will have no responsibility
to, examine any opinions or determine whether any document is legal, valid, binding, sufficient, duly authorized or enforceable,
whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the
Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable
jurisdiction, whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, or whether any Person executing any document
or rendering any opinion is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine.


 


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

(b)                   
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants with respect to each Mortgage Loan that:


 


(i)                    
Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Trustee by the Depositor, the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage were not
subject to an assignment or pledge, and the Depositor had good title to, and was the sole owner of, the Mortgage Loan and had
full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge,
claim or security interest; provided that, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage has been (or
will be) assigned to the Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the holders of securities
issued in connection with the related Other Securitization, as applicable;


 


(ii)                   
The Depositor is transferring such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of
any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;


 


(iii)             
     The related Assignment of Mortgage constitutes the legal, valid and binding assignment of such
Mortgage from the Depositor to the Trustee, and any related Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits
constitutes the legal, valid and binding assignment from the Depositor to the Trustee; and


 


(iv)              
    No claims have been made by the Depositor under the lender’s title insurance policy, and the
Depositor has not done anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

   It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03
shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Custodian until


 






    -142-


     


    

 


the termination of this Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Certificateholders, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer.


 


(d)                  
If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or
replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a Breach or a Defect (each as defined below) (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase
Request”, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives a Repurchase Request,
the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such Repurchase Request); (ii) receives a Repurchase
Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request
Withdrawal”), (iii) receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject to a Repurchase Request
has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or (iv) receives a Repurchase Communication of the rejection
of a Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then such Person shall deliver written notice of
such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection (each such notice, a “Rule 15Ga-1
Notice”) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the related Mortgage Loan Seller, in each case
within ten Business Days from such party’s receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase
Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable; provided, however, if the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer receives notice of a Repurchase Request Withdrawal or Repurchase Request Rejection from the Special
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, then such receiving party shall have no obligation to deliver such notice to any
other party.


 


Each
Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the Repurchase Communication
of the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, was received
and (iii) in the case of a Repurchase Request, (A) the identity of the Person making such Repurchase Request, (B) if
known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (C) a statement from the Repurchase Request
Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.


 


No
Person that is required to provide a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) (a “Rule 15Ga-1
Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client
privilege or attorney work product doctrines. Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1
Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) is so provided only to assist the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the
Depositor and its 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 Rule 15Ga-1 Notice
Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) by a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider,
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may
have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the
subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice.


 


In
the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, then such party


 






    -143-


     


    

 


shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the Master
Servicer, if relating to a Performing Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property,
and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Repurchase Request [Withdrawal]”
under Section 2.03(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B26 requiring action by you as the recipient of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase
Request Withdrawal thereunder”. Upon receipt of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request
Withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request
Recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal, and such party shall comply
with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03(d) with respect to such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request
Withdrawal. 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.


 


(e)               
A “Defect” shall exist with respect to a Mortgage Loan if any document constituting a part of the related Mortgage
File that is required to be delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller has not been delivered within the time periods provided
for in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, has not been properly executed, is missing, does not appear to be regular
on its face or contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. A “Breach” shall mean a breach of any representation or warranty of any Mortgage
Loan Seller made pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan. If any party hereto
discovers or receives notice of a Defect or a Breach, and if such Defect is a Material Defect or such Breach is a Material Breach,
as applicable, then such party, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall give prompt written notice thereof (which notice shall be accompanied
by a written demand to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to the
related Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to
the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder.
If any such Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged
Property or the interests of the Trustee or any Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, or causes the related
Mortgage Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage, then such Defect shall constitute a “Material Defect” or such
Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach,” as the case may be; provided that if any of the documents specified
in Section 2.01(a)(i), Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(vii), Section 2.01(a)(xi)
and Section 2.01(a)(xix) of this Agreement are not delivered as required in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, it shall be deemed a Material Defect. The Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not be required
to make any such determination. Promptly upon receiving written notice of any such Material Defect or Material Breach with respect
to a Mortgage Loan, accompanied by a written demand to take the actions contemplated by this sentence from the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall, not later than 90 days
from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of such Material Defect or Material


 






    -144-


     


    

 


Breach, as the case
may be (or, in the case of a Material Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, not
later than 90 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller or any party hereto discovering such Material Defect or Material Breach,
provided that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has received notice in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement) (any such 90-day period, the “Initial Resolution Period”), (i) cure the same
in all material respects, at its own expense, (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of each of a Joint
Mortgage Loan, the applicable portion thereof) or REO Loan at the applicable Purchase Price in conformity with the applicable
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the
Whole Loans, as applicable, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that,
in no event shall such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay to the Master Servicer
for deposit into the Collection Account (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection
Account) any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith; provided, that if (i) such Material Defect or Material
Breach is capable of being cured but not within the Initial Resolution Period or, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso,
the time period set forth therein, (ii) such Material Defect or Material Breach is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s
not being a Qualified Mortgage, (iii) the Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of
such Material Defect or Material Breach within the Initial Resolution Period and (iv) the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered to
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator (who will promptly
deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and,
other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder, an officer’s certificate that
describes the reason the cure was not effected within the initial 90-day period, then the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional
period equal to the applicable Resolution Extension Period to complete such cure or, failing such cure, to repurchase the Mortgage
Loan and the related REO Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable portion thereof) or, if applicable, substitute
a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property
that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a Borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living
facility, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Borrower), then the failure to deliver to the Custodian copies of the UCC financing
statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share based on such Mortgage
Loan Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage
Loan. With respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller agrees that any Defect as such term is
defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than a Defect related to the promissory note for the related
Companion Loan) will constitute a Defect under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if there is a Material Breach or Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect
to a Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case
of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable portion thereof) and such Material Breach or Material Defect will be considered Resolved
if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related
Loan Documents (and such Mortgaged


 






    -145-


     


    

 


Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the
requirements, if any, set forth in the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a
Rating Agency Confirmation.


 


If
a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect or a Material Breach (or an allegation of a Material Defect or a
Material Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing,
only if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not affiliated with the Directing Holder, and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan that
is not an applicable Excluded Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, with the consent of the Directing Holder) (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 3.06(e) of this Agreement.
In connection with any such determination with respect to any Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the
Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frame and in the manner set forth in Section 3.23, with the Servicing
File and all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including
records stored electronically) relating to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and reasonably requested
by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 in order to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of
Value Payment. 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 Breach or Material Defect in lieu of any obligation
of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected
Mortgage Loan based on such Material Breach or 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 Trust, provided that (i) prior
to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Trustee from exercising
any of its rights related to a Material Defect or a Material Breach in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan); (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected
Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified
Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s
obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share based on such Mortgage Loan Seller’s percentage
interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan.


 


If
any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect that the related Loan Documents or any particular Loan Document
requires the related Borrower to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Loan Document(s),
then the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by
reimbursing the Trust Fund (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses
incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund that are incurred
as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Borrower; provided, however,


 






    -146-


     


    

 


that in the
event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the option to either repurchase
or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. Except as provided in the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and
upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To
the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from
the related Borrower, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses
obtained from the related Borrower shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. With respect to any Joint Mortgage
Loan, each applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation shall be such Mortgage Loan Seller’s pro rata share
based on such Mortgage Loan Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in such Joint Mortgage Loan.


 


(f)                
In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, (A) the
Custodian, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced
Loan) shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller all portions of the Mortgage File (in the case of the Custodian)
and the Servicing File (in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents pertaining
to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), upon delivery
(i) to each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a trust receipt and (ii) to the Custodian by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a Request for Release and an acknowledgement by the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, of its receipt of the Purchase Price or the Substitution Shortfall Amount from the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller, (B) each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the
Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned without recourse in the form of endorsement or assignment provided to the Custodian by the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller as shall be necessary to vest in the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such Mortgage Loan to the extent such ownership was transferred
to the Trustee (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate
in furnishing necessary information to the extent in its possession to the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with such Mortgage
Loan Seller’s preparation of such endorsement or assignment) and (C) the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall release, or cause a release of, any escrow payments and reserve funds held by the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, or on the Trustee’s, the Certificate
Administrator’s, the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, behalf, in respect of such
Mortgage Loan to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


(g)               
The Enforcing Servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, use reasonable efforts to enforce the
obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 6 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in accordance with the Servicing
Standard. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall
be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement
(with respect to the related


 






    -147-


     


    

 


Mortgage Loan), out of the related Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount, as applicable,
to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and second, if at the conclusion of such enforcement
action it is determined that the amounts described in clause first are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.06
of this Agreement, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account in each case with
interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the time such expense was incurred to, but excluding, the date such expense was
reimbursed. To the extent the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller prevails in such proceeding, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be
entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for all necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.


 


So
long as document exceptions are outstanding, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall prepare and forward
to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Holder (as identified to the Custodian by the Certificate Administrator) and
the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, a document exception report setting forth the then current status of any Defects related
to the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


As
to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with
respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Custodian
for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (with a copy to the Master Servicer), the related Mortgage File with the related Mortgage
Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01(a)(i) hereof. Periodic Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in or prior to the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and, if received by the Master Servicer,
shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to the related Mortgage Loan Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the
month of repurchase or substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Periodic Payment(s) due on the related
Removed Mortgage Loan, if and to the extent received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on
or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, as applicable, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to
retain all amounts received thereafter in respect of such Removed Mortgage Loan.


 


In
any month in which a Mortgage Loan Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Removed
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount and promptly notify the Certificate
Administrator thereof. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall direct such Mortgage Loan Seller
to deposit into the Collection Account and/or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, cash equal
to such amount concurrently with the delivery of the Mortgage Files for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, without any
reimbursement thereof. The Certificate Administrator shall also direct such Mortgage Loan Seller to give written notice to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer of such deposit. The Certificate Administrator shall cause its Distribution Date
Statement to reflect the removal of each Removed Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement
in all respects.


 






    -148-


     


    









It
is understood and agreed that Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders
and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting any Breach (including a Breach with respect to a Mortgage Loan
failing to constitute a Qualified Mortgage) or any Defect.


 


(h)      In
the event that any litigation is commenced which alleges facts which, in the judgment of the Depositor, could constitute a breach
of any of the Depositor’s representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor hereby reserves the
right to conduct the defense of such litigation at its expense and shall not be required to obtain any consent from the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder, unless such defense results in any liability of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Directing Holder, as applicable.


 


(i)       If
for any reason a Mortgage Loan Seller fails to fulfill its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to
Specially Serviced Loans) shall use reasonable efforts in enforcing any obligation of such Mortgage Loan Seller (including but
not limited to) to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement all at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller.


 


(j)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for the purposes of Section 2.03 of this Agreement and any provision
relating to repurchase and substitution obligations for a Material Breach or Material Defect, with respect to any Joint Mortgage
Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to repurchase or substitute such Joint Mortgage Loan shall
be limited to a repurchase, substitution or Loss of Value Payment with respect to the 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 Note sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement that also cures the Material Defect or Material Breach 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.


 


(k)      (i)
In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) that
a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Breach or 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 Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward that Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller
and each other party to this Agreement and take the actions required under Section 2.03(e). Subject to Section 2.03(l),
the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Certificateholder Repurchase Request. If a Resolution
Failure occurs with respect to the Certificateholder Repurchase Request, the provisions described below under Section 2.03(l)
shall apply.


 


(ii)       In
the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating
Advisor (solely in its capacity as


 



    -149-


     


    

 


Operating Advisor) has knowledge of a Material Breach or Material Defect with respect to a
Mortgage Loan, that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Breach or Material Defect to the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward to each other party to this Agreement and the related
Mortgage Loan Seller, identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA
Party Repurchase Request” and, each of a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, a “Repurchase
Request”). Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the
PSA Party Repurchase Request. If a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request, the provisions
described below under Section 2.03(l) shall apply.


 


(iii)       In
the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request
(such event, a “Resolution Failure”), and for all purposes herein, such Resolution Failure shall be deemed
to have occurred. 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.


 


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


 


(l)       (i)
After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request
was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or by a party to this Agreement), the Enforcing Servicer shall send a
notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address
specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator, who shall
make such notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners (by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website) indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Proposed
Course of Action”). If the Master Servicer is the Enforcing Servicer, the Master Servicer may (but shall not be obligated
to) consult with the Special Servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Trust Directing
Holder regarding any Proposed Course of Action. Such notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their
agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action by clearly marking “agree”


 



    -150-


     


    

 


or “disagree”
to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within 30 days of the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received
after such 30-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that in the event any 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 applicable 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 and
clearly indicating agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language
shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with
the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from 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 majority 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 applicable Mortgage Loan Seller
with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration,
or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then
the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing
Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date
the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution
Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration. In
the event any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner entitled to do so delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice,
and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing
Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such responses shall be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election
Notices supporting the Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action proposed by the majority of
Certificateholders.


 



    -151-


     


    

 





(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 obligated and 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 Trust Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08.


 


(iii)       Promptly
and in any event within 10 Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (a) the Initial
Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (a) and (b), a
“Requesting Certificateholder”; provided that a Holder of the VRR Interest may not be a Requesting Certificateholder),
the Enforcing Servicer will be required to 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 10 Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date.
The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems to be in accordance with the Servicing
Standard relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than 5 Business Days after completion of the Dispute
Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision
to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).


 


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


 


(v)       If
a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such
Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding
arbitration) or arbitration. If there is more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution
Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders
of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders will be entitled to make all decisions relating to
such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement within 30 days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer,
then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the


 



    -152-


     


    

 


Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed
Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request,
then the related Material Breach or Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Material Breach or Material Defect shall not be deemed
waived with respect a Requesting Certificateholder, any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer
to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course
of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice
had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become
the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action including, but
not limited to, enforcing 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) will 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; 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 Trust Directing Holder for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), and in accordance with the Servicing
Standard. For the avoidance of doubt, the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers and any of their respective Affiliates shall not
be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder.


 


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


 


(ix)       If
(i) a Repurchase Request is made with respect to any Mortgage Loan based on any particular alleged Material Breach or Material
Defect, (ii) a Resolution Failure is deemed to occur with respect to such Repurchase Request, and (iii) if either (A) a mediation
or arbitration is undertaken with respect to such Repurchase Request or (B) the Certificateholders and Certificate Owners cease
to have a right to refer such Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, in either case in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, then no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may make any subsequent Repurchase Request with respect to such
Mortgage Loan based on the same alleged Material Breach or Material Defect unless there is a material change in the facts and
circumstances known to such party.


 



    -153-


     


    

 





(x)        The
Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller and any of their respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder
or a Requesting Certificateholder.


 


(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
in accordance with published mediation procedures promulgated by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected
by the Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Meditation Services Provider”).


 


(ii)        The
mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience
in commercial litigation, and commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or other complex
commercial transactions, and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon
being supplied a list of at least ten potential qualified mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the
right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 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)       The
parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an organizational conference to begin the mediation within 10 Business
Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 60 days thereafter.


 


(iv)       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.


 


(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 in accordance with published arbitration procedures promulgated by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider
selected by the Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Arbitration Services Provider”).


 


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



    -154-


     


    

 


arbitrators in order of preference. The
Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices
of the parties to the extent possible.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



    -155-


     


    

 





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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)       If
the dispute involves a matter that cannot effectively be remedied by the payment of damages, or if there be any dispute relating
to arbitration or the arbitrators that cannot be resolved promptly by the arbitrators or the Arbitration Services Provider, then
any party in such instance may during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings seek temporary equitable remedies, pending the
final decision of the arbitration panel, solely by application in the Southern District if such court shall have subject matter
jurisdiction, or if the Southern District has no jurisdiction, then it 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 will 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 will promptly notify
the other party to the resolution procedure and will 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 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 proceedings
shall be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Trust Directing Holder, provided that a Consultation
Termination Event is not continuing, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party
shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with
the arbitrator or mediation, as the case may be, will 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 



    -156-


     


    

 


nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the
Requesting Certificateholder.


 


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


 


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


 


(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 or the exercise of any rights of the Trust Directing Holder
(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).


 


(viii)    For
the avoidance of doubt, any expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in mediation or arbitration
or related responsibilities under this Agreement shall be reimbursable as Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

OF THE TRUST FUND


 


Section
3.01 The Master Servicer To Act as Master Servicer; Special Servicer To Act as Special Servicer; Administration of the Mortgage
Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans. (a) The Master Servicer (generally with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and
any related Serviced Companion Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (generally with respect to
Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced REO Loans), each as an independent contractor servicer, shall service and administer the
Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Trustee (as Trustee for the
Certificateholders) and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s), (as a collective
whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s), as applicable, constituted a single lender (and
with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate
nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan)), in each case, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.


 


The
Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability for actions and omissions in its capacity as Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section
6.03 hereof). To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement,
the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Notes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans. Subject only
to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
sub-servicers (subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 3.01, to the related sub-servicing agreement with each sub-servicer
and to Section 3.02 of this Agreement), to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing
and administration that it may deem consistent with the Servicing Standard and, in its reasonable judgment, in the best interests
of the Certificateholders, including, without limitation, with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and, in the case of any
Serviced Whole Loan, in the best interests of the 



    -168-


     


    

 


Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s), as a collective
whole as if such Certificateholders and (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan) Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder(s) constituted
a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into
account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan)) to prepare, execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and the Trustee or any of them: (i) any and all financing statements,
continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien on each Mortgaged Property and related
collateral; (ii) any modifications, waivers, consents or amendments to or with respect to any documents contained in the related
Mortgage File; and (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge,
and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify, amend, waive or otherwise consent to any change of the terms
of any Mortgage Loan except under the circumstances described in Section 3.03, Section 3.09, Section 3.10,
Section 3.24, Section 3.25, Section 3.26 and Section 3.27 hereof. The Master Servicer (with respect
to Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans that are non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer
(with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced REO Loans) shall provide to the Borrowers related to such Mortgage Loans
that it is servicing any reports required to be provided to them pursuant to the related Loan Documents. Subject to Section
3.11 of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, upon the receipt of a written request of a Servicing Officer, execute and deliver
to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, any powers of attorney (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
DD, or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable)
and other documents (including but not limited to other powers of attorney) prepared by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
as applicable, and necessary or appropriate (as certified in such written request) to enable the Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
as applicable, to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be held liable for any
misuse of any such power of attorney or such other documents by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, without the Trustee’s
written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master
Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement
of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required
by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five
(5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time
period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance
with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s
consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity); or (ii)
take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.


 


(b)     Unless
otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Note or related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer shall apply any partial
Principal Prepayment received on a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, on a date other than a Due
Date to the Stated Principal Balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion 



    -169-


     


    

 


Loan, as applicable, as of the Due Date
immediately following the date of receipt of such partial Principal Prepayment. Unless otherwise provided in the related Mortgage
Note or related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer shall apply any amounts received on U.S. Treasury obligations in
respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, being defeased pursuant to its terms to the Stated
Principal Balance of and interest on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, as of the Due Date immediately
following the receipt of such amounts.


 


(c)      The
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with third parties with respect to any of its
respective obligations hereunder, provided that (i) any such agreement requires the Sub-Servicer to comply in all material
respects with all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be consistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, the terms of the respective Loan Documents and, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Intercreditor
Agreement, (ii) if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, any such agreement provides
that (x) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements under Article X of this Agreement applicable
to such Sub-Servicer, including the failure to deliver any reports or certificates at the time such report or certification is
required under Article X and (y) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any requirements to deliver any items
required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB under any other pooling and servicing agreement relating to any other series
of certificates offered by the Depositor shall constitute an event of default by such Sub-Servicer upon the occurrence of which
(following the expiration of any applicable grace period) the Master Servicer shall (and the Depositor may) immediately terminate
the related Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, which termination shall be deemed for cause, (iii) no Sub-Servicer
retained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall grant any modification, waiver or amendment to any
Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or foreclose any Mortgage without the approval of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, which approval shall be given or withheld in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 3.09, Section 3.10, Section 3.24, Section 3.25, Section 3.26, Section 3.27,
(as applicable), (iv) such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (v) 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. Any such
Sub-Servicing Agreement may permit the Sub-Servicer to delegate its duties to agents or Subcontractors so long as the related
agreements or arrangements with such agents or Subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c)
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such agent or Subcontractor is a Prohibited Party, if such agent or Subcontractor
would be a Servicing Function Participant, at the time the related sub-servicing agreement is entered into). Any monies received
by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing agreement (other than sub-servicing fees) shall be deemed to be received by the
Master Servicer on the date received by such Sub-Servicer.


 


Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may
be assumed or terminated by the Trustee (in its sole discretion, but must be assumed with respect to any Mortgage Loan Seller
Sub-Servicer so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer is not in default under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement)
if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special 



    -170-


     


    

 


Servicer, respectively, or any successor Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by
such party of the obligations, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.02 (it being understood that any such obligations shall be the obligations
of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, only).


 


Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans
involving a Sub-Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such Sub-Servicer
alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer,
the Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have
no claims, rights (except as specified below), obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer, except as
set forth in Section 3.01(c)(ii) and Section 3.01(d).


 


Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement as to which a Mortgage Loan Seller required the Master Servicer to enter into shall provide that the Master
Servicer (and any successor Master Servicer) or Trustee may only terminate the related Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer for cause
pursuant to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and as otherwise specified in such Sub-Servicing Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement which provides for
the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without the consent of the Directing Holder for so long
as no Control Termination Event is continuing, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable
regulatory requirements.


 


The
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Mortgage
Loan Seller Sub-Servicer and each Sub-Servicer that it retains under a related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master
Servicer shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer to comply
with Article X hereof. No Sub-Servicer shall be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions,
such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Loan Documents, without
the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. The Master Servicer’s consent may also be required
for certain other servicing decisions as provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.


 


(d)      If
the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer, or if the Trustee or any successor
Special Servicer assumes the obligations of the Special Servicer, in each case in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee,
the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee,
the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02,
shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable,
succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any Sub-Servicing
Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 



    -171-


     


    

 


pursuant to Section 3.01(c). In such
event, such successor shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s interest,
as applicable, therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned
to such successor, except that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not thereby be relieved of any
liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of such successor.


 


If
the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then upon request of such successor, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, shall at its own expense (except (i) in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section
3.22(b), at the expense of the Certificateholders effecting such termination, as applicable; or (ii) in the event that the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 6.04(c), at the expense of the Trust) deliver
to such successor all documents and records relating to any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and/or the Serviced
Companion Loans, as applicable, then being serviced hereunder or thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by
it, if any, and shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Sub-Servicing
Agreement to such successor. The Master Servicer shall not be required to assume the obligations of the Special Servicer and nothing
in this paragraph shall imply otherwise.


 


(e)      The
parties hereto acknowledge that each Whole Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement
and, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, further subject to the servicing under and all other terms and conditions of
the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto further recognize the respective rights and obligations of each
Companion Loan Noteholder under the related Intercreditor Agreement, including, without limitation with respect to (A) the allocation
of collections (and all other amounts received in connection with the related Whole Loan) on or in respect of the related Mortgage
Loan and (B) the allocation of Default Interest on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan.


 


Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s
obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect
to the Serviced Whole Loans are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and, with respect to
any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the rights of the Other Servicer and the Other Special Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, enforce the rights of the Trustee (as
holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any related REO Property are being serviced and administered
under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Other Servicer will make any Servicing Advances required thereunder
in respect of such Non-Serviced Whole Loan and remit collections on the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to or on behalf of the Trust.
None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any obligation or authority
to 



    -172-


     


    

 


supervise the related Other Servicer, the related Other Special Servicer or the related Other Trustee or to make Servicing
Advances with respect to any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan. Although each Non-Serviced Whole Loan is being serviced under the related
Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Directing Holder may have certain information and consultation rights relating to the
servicing of the Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Other Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and
collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan
shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Other Servicer or the related
Other Special Servicer. Nothing herein shall be deemed to override the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement with respect to
the rights of the related noteholders thereunder and with respect to the servicing and administrative duties and obligations with
respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loans. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the provisions, terms or conditions
of an Intercreditor Agreement related to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and the provisions, terms or conditions of this Agreement,
the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.


 


If
any Mortgage Loan included in any Serviced Whole Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund and the servicing and administration
of such Serviced Whole Loan is to be governed by a separate servicing agreement and not by this Agreement, the Master Servicer
and, if such Serviced Whole Loan is then being specially serviced hereunder, the Special Servicer, shall continue to act in such
capacities under such separate servicing agreement, which agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and/or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification
and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except that such
Serviced Whole Loan and the related Mortgaged Property shall be serviced as if they were the sole assets serviced and administered
thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder and except that there shall be no further obligation of any Person to make
P&I Advances. All amounts due the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Special Servicer (including Advances and interest thereon)
pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall be paid to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Special Servicer by the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense on
the first Master Servicer Remittance Date following termination. In addition, until such time as a separate servicing agreement
with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan and any related Serviced REO Property has been entered into and, notwithstanding that
neither such Mortgage Loan nor any related Serviced REO Property is part of the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall continue to hold
the Mortgage File and the Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Special Servicer shall (subject to the preceding sentence) continue
to service such Serviced Whole Loan or any related Serviced REO Property, as the case may be, under this Agreement as if it were
a separate servicing agreement; provided that, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after
the date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of any Serviced
Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so long
as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) has not been entered into, the Master Servicer
shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Servicing Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three
(3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in
the 



    -173-


     


    

 


case of a Servicing Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect
to Servicing Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer
shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Servicing Advances in the same manner and on
the same level of priority as if such Servicing Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder. Nothing herein shall
be deemed to override the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the rights of the related noteholders thereunder
and with respect to the servicing and administrative duties and obligations with respect to such Serviced Whole Loans. In the
event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the provisions, terms or conditions of an Intercreditor Agreement related to
a Serviced Whole Loan and the provisions, terms or conditions of this Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern,
and as to any matter on which such Intercreditor Agreement is silent or makes reference to this Agreement, this Agreement shall
govern.


 


Section
3.02 Liability of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer When Sub-Servicing. Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing
Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, and any Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or Subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken
through any Person acting as sub-servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee (on behalf of the Certificateholders), the Certificateholders and, with respect
to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans
and Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability
by virtue of such sub-servicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Depositor or any other Person
acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or Subcontractors) to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and Serviced
Companion Loans. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any sub-servicer
providing for indemnification of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, by such sub-servicer, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification
shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement.


 


Section
3.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan Payments. The Master Servicer (with respect to all the
Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans (other than Specially Serviced Loans) that the Master Servicer
is servicing) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall use reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans each
is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures; provided
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans; provided, further, that with
respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, that have Anticipated Repayment
Dates, so long as the related Borrower is in compliance with each provision of the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer




    -174-


     


    

 


and Special Servicer (including the Special Servicer in its capacity as a Certificateholder, if applicable) shall not take any
enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Borrower to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests
for collection, until the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, or the outstanding
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, has been paid in full, however, consistent with
the applicable Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, or the Special Servicer each may in its discretion waive the Excess Interest
(even at the final maturity date) in connection with any Mortgage Loan it is obligated to service hereunder if taking such action
is in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole. With respect to each Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income
statements and rent rolls from Borrowers as required by the Loan Documents and the terms hereof. The Master Servicer shall provide
at least 90 days’ notice (with a copy to the Special Servicer) to the Borrowers of Balloon Payments coming due on Performing
Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to each Performing
Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) may in their discretion waive any late payment charge
or Default Interest it is entitled to receive in connection with any delinquent Periodic Payment or Balloon Payment with respect
to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that it is servicing. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to take
such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans as are permitted
or required under this Agreement.


 


Section
3.04 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer, in the case of all
Serviced Mortgage Loans that it is servicing, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property
reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance
premiums payable with respect thereto. With respect to each Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable
efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from Borrowers as required by the
Loan Documents. The Special Servicer, in the case of Serviced REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all Serviced
Mortgage Loans that it is servicing, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to, from time to time,
(i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect, or, if the Special Servicer,
to use reasonable efforts to cause the Master Servicer to effect, payment of all such bills with respect to such Mortgaged Properties
prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under
the terms of the related Loan Documents for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan. If a Borrower under a Serviced
Mortgage Loan fails to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Borrower are insufficient to pay any such
item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall as a Servicing
Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance (provided that with respect to advancing insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall
comply with the provisions of the second to last paragraph in Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement). The Master Servicer shall
be entitled to reimbursement of Servicing Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, that it makes pursuant to
this Section 3.04 of this Agreement from amounts received on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole
Loan respecting which such Advance was made or 



    -175-

in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions
to Certificateholders or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans or
Serviced Companion Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Loans so permit.


 


The
parties acknowledge that with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Other Servicer is obligated to make (or any other service
provider provided for in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement may make) Servicing Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loans pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Other Servicer (or other service provider) shall
be entitled to reimbursement for nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (as such term or similar term may be defined in the related
Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the related
Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the manner set forth in such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Intercreditor
Agreement and Section 3.06(a)(v) of this Agreement.


 


(b)      The
Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Serviced
Companion Loan that it is servicing constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into
which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds and maintained
in accordance with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and in accordance with
the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted
Investments to the extent required pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the related Loan Documents require
it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account); provided that, if the ratings of the financial institution
holding such account are downgraded to a ratings level below that of an Eligible Account (except to the extent the related Loan
Documents require it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account), the Master Servicer shall have 30 days (or such
longer time as confirmed by a Rating Agency Confirmation, obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer relating to the Certificates
and any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities) to transfer such account to an Eligible Account. Escrow Accounts shall be
entitled, “KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee,
for the benefit of the Holders of Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B26 and various Borrowers and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders”.
Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Master Servicer only:


 


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


 



    -176-


     


    

 





(ii)       to
transfer funds to the Collection Account and/or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account (or any sub-account thereof)
to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee for any Servicing Advance (with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) relating
to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable,
which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;


 


(iii)      for
application to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan and/or
Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(c)      The
Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Companion Loan that it is servicing, (i) maintain accurate
records with respect to the 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
and (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for (or otherwise confirm) the payment of such items (including
renewal premiums) and, for such Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that require the related Borrower to escrow for such
items, shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment
for which it is responsible, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Loan Documents
for such Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (or, if such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan does not require the
related Borrower to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable)
and similar items, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related
Borrower to comply with the requirement of the related Loan Documents that the Borrower 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). Subject to Section 3.21 of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall timely make a Servicing Advance with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion
Loans that it is servicing, if any, to cover any such item which is not so paid, including any penalties or other charges arising
from the Borrower’s failure to timely pay such items.

Property related to the Serviced Whole Loans) shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to

accounts (collectively, the “Loss of Value Reserve Fund”) to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders,

Administrator shall (i) treat amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders
as contributed to and distributed by the Trust REMICs and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through

30-day months, withdraw or be deemed to withdraw from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and deposit or be deemed to deposit

provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. On or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each calendar

or paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any fees or
expenses (including legal fees) for which a party is to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.03 herein may 



    -194-


     


    

 


be submitted
directly to the Trust Fund and paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on behalf of such party pursuant to this
Agreement. In addition, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor
and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit
in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement and payment of any federal, state or local taxes imposed on
any Trust REMIC.


 


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 (or with respect to Servicing Advances,
the Serviced Whole Loans) deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement
for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.06(a) or Section 3.06(b) of this Agreement
immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the
Collection Period ending on the then-current Determination Date for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed
12 months (with the consent of the Directing Holder, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, for any deferral
in excess of 6 months). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion
to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such
Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent
Collection Period (subject, again, to the same sole discretion to elect to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent
period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to
payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from
the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one-month Collection Period ending on the
related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized (in its sole
discretion) to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, to be received
before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance (or portion
thereof) until the end of such Collection Period; provided that the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall use reasonable
efforts to give notice of its election to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information
Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), at least 15 days prior to any reimbursement to
it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the
Master Servicer or the Trustee determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize its
ability to recover Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master
Servicer or the Trustee that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether
to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer or the
Trustee has not timely received from the Certificate Administrator information requested by the Master Servicer or the Trustee
to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2)
or (3) apply, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall give notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances
from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the 



    -195-


     


    

 


Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances
to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant
to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability for any loss,
liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to each Rating Agency contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.


 


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 3.06(a) or to comply with the
terms of this Section 3.06(a) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has
been made. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it should recover the
Nonrecoverable Advances without deferral as described above, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be
entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts
in the Collection Accounts for such Distribution Date. Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself
or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods
shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual
reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, election to defer
reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and, as applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Nothing herein shall
be deemed to create in the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders a right to prior payment of distributions
over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise).
In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed
to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor the other parties to this Agreement
shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders
for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.06(a) or for any losses, damages or other
adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.


 


None
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be permitted to reverse any other Person’s determination,
or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that an Advance constitutes, or would constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


If
the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Provider, as applicable, is reimbursed out of general
collections for any unreimbursed Advances that are determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances (together with any Advance Interest
Amount), then (for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates) such reimbursement and payment of interest shall
be deemed to have been made: first, out of the Principal Distribution Amount, which, but for its application to reimburse
a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay the Advance Interest Amount, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution
Date and, second, out of other amounts which, but for their application to reimburse a 



    -196-


     


    

 


Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to
pay the Advance Interest Amount, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date.


 


If
and to the extent that any payment is deemed to be applied as contemplated in the paragraph above to reimburse a Nonrecoverable
Advance or to pay the Advance Interest Amount, then the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date shall be reduced,
to not less than zero, by the amount of such reimbursement. If and to the extent (i) any Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance, (ii) such Advance and/or the Advance Interest Amount is reimbursed out of the Principal Distribution Amount as contemplated
above and (iii) the particular item for which such Advance was originally made is subsequently collected out of payments or other
collections in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, then the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date that corresponds
to the Collection Period in which such item was recovered shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount
of such item and (B) any previous reduction in the Principal Distribution Amount for a prior Distribution Date as contemplated
in the paragraph above resulting from the reimbursement of the subject Advance and/or the payment of the Advance Interest Amount.


 


(b)       The
Master Servicer shall maintain a separate Trust Ledger with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan that it is servicing on which
it shall make ledger entries as to amounts deposited (or credited) or withdrawn (or debited) with respect thereto. On each Master
Servicer Remittance Date (or such other date as may be specified below or on which funds are available for such purpose as specified
below), with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall make withdrawals from amounts allocated thereto in
the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account (and may debit the Trust Ledger) for any of the following purposes (the order
set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):


 


(i)        to
make remittances each month in an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the allocable portion of the applicable
Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Amount (A) to the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders within the time frame specified in,
and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.05(h) and (B) to the Collection Account for the benefit of the Trust in respect of
amounts allocable to the related Mortgage Loan, in each case in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (after taking
into account the amounts permitted to be withdrawn from the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account pursuant to this Section 3.06(b));
provided that Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of any Serviced Companion Loan by the related seller thereof
shall be remitted solely to the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, and Liquidation Proceeds relating
to the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be remitted solely
to the Collection Account;


 


(ii)       to
pay (A) to itself unpaid Servicing Fees (or, with respect to any Excess Servicing Fee Rights, to pay any Excess Servicing Fees
to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Rights pursuant to Section 3.12(a) of this Agreement) and to the Special Servicer
unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees in respect of such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO
Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, rights to payment of Servicing
Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees, as applicable, pursuant to this clause (ii)(A) with respect to
such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO Loan, as 



    -197-


     


    

 


applicable, being limited to amounts received on or in respect of such
Serviced Whole Loan (whether in the form of payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds), or such
Serviced REO Loan (whether in the form of REO Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds), that
are allocable as recovery of interest thereon and (B) to the Special Servicer, each month to the extent not covered by clause
(ii)(A) above, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees in respect of such Serviced Whole Loan or
related Serviced REO Loan, as applicable, remaining unpaid out of general collections in the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement;


 


(iii)      to
reimburse the Trustee or itself, in that order, for unreimbursed P&I Advances with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan
and to reimburse the related Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider for unreimbursed principal and/or interest advances with
respect to the applicable Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer’s, the Trustee’s and the applicable Serviced
Companion Loan Service Provider’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii) being limited to amounts received
in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account which represent Late Collections received in respect of such Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable (as allocable thereto pursuant to the related Loan Documents and the related Intercreditor
Agreement), during the applicable period; provided that to the extent such amounts are insufficient to repay such P&I
Advances on any Mortgage Loan as to which there is a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, such P&I Advances may be
reimbursed, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan allocable to such Subordinate Companion Loan; provided,
further, that if such P&I Advance on the applicable Mortgage Loan becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount, then such P&I Advance shall thereafter be reimbursed in accordance with clause (v) below;


 


(iv)      to
reimburse the Trustee, the Special Servicer or itself, in that order, as applicable (with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan
or Serviced REO Property), for unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or related Serviced REO
Property, the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s respective rights to receive payment pursuant to this clause (iv)
being limited to, as applicable, related payments by the applicable Borrower with respect to such Servicing Advance, Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds and REO Proceeds with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan; provided
that if such Servicing Advance becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, then such Servicing
Advance shall thereafter be reimbursed in accordance with clause (v) below;


 


(v)       (A)
to reimburse the Trustee or itself, in that order, (with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or related REO Property), as applicable
(x) with respect to Nonrecoverable Advances, first, out of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds
and REO Proceeds received on the related Serviced Whole Loan and related REO Properties, and second, out of general collections
in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a) and (y) with respect to the Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts,
first, out of the principal portion of the general collections on the Serviced Whole Loan and related REO Properties, net
of such amounts being reimbursed pursuant to the subclause first in the preceding clause (x) above and second out
of general collections in 



    -198-


     


    

 


the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a); provided that in the case of both
clause (x) and clause (y) of this clause (v), prior to making any reimbursement from general collections, such reimbursements
shall be made first, from collections on, and proceeds of the applicable Subordinate Companion Loan, if any, and then from collections
on, and proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan, or in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion
Loan, on a pro rata basis as between the Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans (based on the
Mortgage Loan’s Stated Principal Balance or related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan’s principal balance) and then
from general collections of the Trust (provided that, in the case of a Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance,
the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify
the related Companion Loan Noteholder and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights
under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the
related Serviced Companion Loans from the related Companion Loan Noteholders) or (B) to pay itself or the Special Servicer out
of general collections on such Serviced Whole Loan and related REO Properties, any related earned Servicing Fee, Special Servicing
Fee, Liquidation Fee or Workout Fee, as applicable, that remained unpaid in accordance with clause (ii) above following a Final
Recovery Determination made with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan or related REO Property and the deposit into the applicable
Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account of all amounts received in connection therewith; provided that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, such party’s rights to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (v) with respect to any such Nonrecoverable
Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount that is a P&I Advance, being limited (except to the extent set forth in Section
3.06(a)) to amounts on deposit in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account that were received in respect of the
particular Mortgage Loan (as allocable thereto pursuant to the related Loan Documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement)
in the related Serviced Whole Loan as to which such Nonrecoverable Advance or such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount were incurred
(provided that to the extent such amounts are insufficient to repay such Advances on any Mortgage Loan as to which there
is a related Subordinate Companion Loan, such P&I Advances may be reimbursed from collections on the related Serviced Whole
Loan allocable to such Subordinate Companion Loan);


 


(vi)      at
such time as it reimburses the Trustee or itself, in that order, as applicable, for (A) any unreimbursed P&I Advance with
respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan (including any such Advance that constitutes a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) or
any unreimbursed principal and/or interest advance with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to clause (iii)
above, to pay itself, the Trustee or such Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider, as applicable, any Advance Interest Amounts

Charges pursuant to Section 3.12(d),

then, from collections on, and proceeds of the applicable Subordinate Companion Loan,
if any, and then, from collections on, and proceeds of on a pro rata basis as between the Mortgage Loan and any related
other Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans (based on the Mortgage Loan’s Stated Principal Balance or related Serviced Pari
Passu Companion Loan’s principal balance), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such party’s rights
to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any such interest on P&I Advances (including any such P&I
Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) being limited to amounts on deposit in the
applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account that were received in respect of the particular Mortgage Loan (as allocable
thereto pursuant to the related Loan Documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement) in the related Serviced Whole Loan as
to which such advance relates (provided that any Mortgage Loan as to which there is a related Subordinate Companion Loan,
such interest on P&I Advances may be reimbursed from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan allocable to such Subordinate
Companion Loan);


 


(vii)     to
reimburse itself, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, as applicable,
for any unreimbursed expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in respect of any Breach or Defect with respect to the Mortgage
Loan giving rise to a repurchase obligation of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 6 of the applicable Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement or, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, under the related mortgage loan purchase agreement, including,
without limitation, any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the repurchase obligation, each such Person’s right to
reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vii) with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan being limited to that portion of the Purchase
Price paid for the related Mortgage Loan that represents such expense in accordance with clause (e) of the definition of Purchase
Price (or, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, a comparable expense);

Loan included
in such Serviced Whole Loan, any amount specifically required to be paid to such Person at the expense of the Trust Fund under
any provision of this Agreement to which reference is not made in any other clause of this Section 3.06(b), it being acknowledged
that this clause (xvii) shall not be construed to modify any limitation or requirement otherwise set forth in this Agreement or

The
Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records, on a loan by loan and property by property basis when appropriate,
for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account. All withdrawals with respect to
any Serviced Whole Loan shall be made first, from the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and then,
from the Master Servicer’s Collection Account to the extent permitted by Section 3.06(a). Upon request, the Master
Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator such records and any other information in the possession of the Master
Servicer to enable the Certificate Administrator to determine the amounts attributable to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Companion

The
Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer from the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts amounts permitted to be paid
to it therefrom promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of such Special Servicer describing the item and
amount to which the Special Servicer is entitled. The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall
have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein. The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each
Specially Serviced Loan included in the Serviced Whole Loan and related REO Loan, on a loan-by-loan and, if appropriate, property-by-property
basis, for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account.


 



    -202-


     


    

 





Any
permitted withdrawals under this Section 3.06(b) with respect to reimbursement for advances or other amounts payable to
an Other Trustee shall, if applicable, also be deemed to be a permitted withdrawal for similar amounts owed to the fiscal agent
of the Other Trustee, if any.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from
the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and remit to the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, within (x) with
respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, if required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement,
two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds and (y) with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan,
one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, any amounts that represent Late Collections or Principal Prepayments
on such Serviced Companion Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto, that are received by the Master Servicer prior
to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any given Business Day (and to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such Late Collections or
Principal Prepayments to the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified
funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified
funds) (exclusive of any portion of such amount payable or reimbursable to any third party in accordance with the related Intercreditor
Agreement or this Agreement), unless such amount would otherwise be included in the monthly remittance to the holder of such Serviced
Companion Loan for such month.


 


If
the Master Servicer fails, as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, any related Serviced Whole
Loan Remittance Date or any other date a remittance is required to be made, as applicable, to remit to the Certificate Administrator
(in respect of the related Mortgage Loan) or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (in respect of any related Serviced Companion
Loan) any amounts required to be so remitted hereunder by such date (including any P&I Advance pursuant to Section 4.07
and any Gain-on-Sale Proceeds allocable to the Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to Section 4.01(e)), the Master Servicer
shall pay to the Certificate Administrator (in respect of the Mortgage Loan) or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (in respect
of the Serviced Companion Loan), for the account of the Certificate Administrator (in respect of the Mortgage Loan) or the Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders (in respect of the Serviced Companion Loans), interest, calculated at the Prime Rate, on such amount(s)
not timely remitted, from the time such payment was required to be made (without regard to any grace period) until (but not including)
the date such late payment is received by the Certificate Administrator or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, as applicable.


 


(c)       On
each Master Servicer Remittance Date, all net income and gain realized from investment of funds to which the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.


 


(d)       With
respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, if amounts required to pay the expenses allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan
exceed amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may seek reimbursement from the Trust 



    -203-


     


    

 


Fund with respect to such expenses allocable
to such Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall seek (on behalf of the Trust
Fund, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) payment or reimbursement from the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate
Companion Loan, if any, and then for the pro rata portion of such expenses allocable to a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion
Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or, if such Serviced Companion Loan has been deposited into a securitization,
out of general collections in the collection account established pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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


 


(i)        to
reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement, for any Nonrecoverable
Advance made by such party with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property (together with the Advance
Interest Amount);


 


(ii)       to
pay, in accordance with Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement, or to reimburse the Trust for the prior payment of, any expense
relating to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property that constitutes or, if not paid out of such Loss of Value
Payments, would constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense;


 


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


 


(iv)      following
the occurrence of a liquidation event with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced REO Property and any related

(i)-(iii) in respect of any other Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Loan; and


 


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

for which such Loss of Value Payments were received; and any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant

Section
3.07 Investment of Funds in the Collection Accounts, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts,
the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the REO Account, the Lock-Box Accounts, the Cash Collateral Accounts
and the Reserve Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account, and any Serviced Whole Loan Collection
Account and any Borrower Accounts (as defined below and subject to the second succeeding sentence)), the Special Servicer (with
respect to any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund) and the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution
Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account) may direct any depository institution maintaining
the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, any Borrower Accounts, any
REO Account, any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Accounts (each such account, for
purposes of this Section 3.07, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account
in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand,
no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account
pursuant to this Agreement. Any investment of funds on deposit in an Investment Account by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Certificate Administrator shall be documented in writing and shall provide evidence that such investment is a Permitted
Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. In the case of any Escrow Account, Lock-Box
Account, Cash Collateral Account or Reserve Account (the “Borrower Accounts”), the Master Servicer shall act
upon the written request of the related Borrower or Manager to the extent that the Master Servicer is required to do so under
the terms of the respective Loan Documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the related
Borrower or Manager meeting the requirements of this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to, but
will be entitled to, direct the investment of funds in such accounts in Permitted Investments. All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name
of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Certificate Administrator shall have
sole control (except with respect to investment direction which shall be in the control of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, with respect to any REO Accounts, as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any
certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Certificate Administrator or
its agent (which shall initially be the Master Servicer), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer
title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility
or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Borrower or Manager or
any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility
or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, any
Borrower or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Special Servicer shall
have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee, any Borrower or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the
event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in 



    -206-


     


    

 


a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (or
the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable) shall:


 


(x)       consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment
may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount
required to be withdrawn on such date; and


 


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


 


(b)       All
income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer
(except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) any Borrower Account, which shall be for the benefit of the related
Borrower to the extent required under the related Loan Documents for the Mortgage Loan or applicable law, (ii) any REO Account
and the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer or (iii) the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account,
the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Accounts, which shall be for the benefit of the Certificate Administrator) and,
if held in the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, REO Account or Distribution Account shall be subject
to withdrawal by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in accordance with
Section 3.06 or Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer, or with respect to any REO
Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Special Servicer, or with respect to the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account or the Distribution
Accounts, the Certificate Administrator, shall deposit from its own funds into the Collection Account, applicable Serviced Whole
Loan Collection Account, any REO Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve
Account or the Distribution Accounts, as applicable, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment
immediately upon realization of such loss; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator,
as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account
otherwise payable to it. The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Borrower Account immediately upon realization
of such loss the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested
at the direction of or for the benefit of the Borrower under the terms of the related Loan Documents for the Mortgage Loan, Serviced
Whole Loan or applicable law; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit
any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the
federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository
institution or trust company has satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the
time the investment was made and (y) 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, in either case as a result of an 



    -207-


     


    

 


action
or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, the Trustee may, and
upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall, take such
action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings. If the Trustee takes any such action, (i) the Master Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of
the Master Servicer, (ii) the Special Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Special Servicer or (iii)
the Certificate Administrator, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Certificate Administrator, shall pay or
reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
connection therewith.


 


Section
3.08 Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) In the case of each Serviced
Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable (but excluding any REO Loan), the Master Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower, with respect to the Serviced
Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans that it is servicing, to maintain the following insurance coverage (including
identifying the extent to which such Borrower is maintaining insurance coverage and, if such Borrower does not so maintain, the
Master Servicer will itself cause to be maintained with Qualified Insurers) for the related Mortgaged Property: (x) except where
the Loan Documents permit a Borrower to rely on self-insurance provided by a tenant, a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance
policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
full replacement cost of improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and (ii) the Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application
of any co-insurance clause and (y) all other insurance coverage (including, but not limited to, coverage for acts of terrorism)
that is required, subject to applicable law, under the related Loan Documents; provided that:


 


(i)        the
Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property unless
the Trustee has an insurable interest and (x) such insurance policy was in effect at the time of the origination of the related
Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, or (y) such insurance policy was required by the related Loan Documents and
is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided that the Master Servicer shall require the related Borrower to
maintain such insurance in the amount, in the case of clause (x), maintained at origination, and in the case of clause (y), required
by such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, in each case, to the extent such amounts are available at commercially reasonable
rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest;


 


(ii)       if
and to the extent that any Loan Document grants the lender thereunder any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise)
as to the insurance provider from whom the related Borrower is to obtain the requisite insurance coverage, the Master Servicer
shall (to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard) require the related Borrower to obtain the requisite insurance coverage
from Qualified Insurers;


 


(iii)      the
Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause any
Borrower to maintain the 



    -208-


     


    

 


insurance required to be maintained under the Loan Documents; provided that this clause shall
not limit the Master Servicer’s obligation to obtain and maintain a force-placed insurance policy, as provided herein;


 


(iv)      except
as provided below (including under clause (vi) below), in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrower
to maintain, or itself obtain, insurance coverage to the extent that the failure of such Borrower to maintain insurance coverage
is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Special Servicer);


 


(v)       to
the extent that the Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrower does not maintain, the Master Servicer
will not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis at commercially
reasonable rates, and only to the extent the Trust as lender has an insurable interest thereon; and


 


(vi)      any
explicit terrorism insurance requirements contained in the related Loan Documents shall be enforced by the Master Servicer in
accordance with the Servicing Standard (unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with the consent of,
if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, and after non-binding consultation with the Risk Retention
Consultation Party and the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 6.07, has consented to a waiver (including a waiver to
permit the Master Servicer to accept insurance that does not comply with specific requirements contained in the Loan Documents)
in writing of that provision in accordance with the Servicing Standard); provided that the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, as applicable, in writing of such
waiver.


 


During
the period that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a
response from the Directing Holder or to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.08, neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Borrower to maintain
such insurance and neither shall be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure unless the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer is required to take any immediate action pursuant to the Servicing Standard or other servicing requirements of
this Agreement.


 


With
respect to each CREFI Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall not permit the related Borrower to maintain a “Non-Conforming
Policy” (as such term is defined in the related Loan Agreement) unless a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained.


 


The
Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Directing Holder if the
Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has failed
to maintain insurance required under the Loan Documents and such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders or if a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has notified the Master Servicer in writing that the Borrower
does not intend to maintain such insurance and that the Master Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard
that such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders.


 



    -209-


     


    

 





Subject
to Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, with respect to each Serviced REO Property, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts and only if the Trustee has an insurable interest, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain (subject to the
right of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer to make a Servicing Advance for the costs associated with coverage
that the Special Servicer determines to maintain, in which case the Master Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance) with Qualified
Insurers to the extent reasonably available at commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest,
(a) a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount
that is at least equal to the lesser of the full replacement value of the Mortgaged Property or the Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loan, Serviced REO Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or such greater amount of coverage required by
the related Loan Documents (unless such amount is not available or, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing
Holder has consented to a lower amount)), but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance
clause, (b) a comprehensive general liability insurance policy with coverage comparable to that which would be required under
prudent lending requirements and in an amount not less than $1.0 million per occurrence, and (c) to the extent consistent with
the Servicing Standard, a business interruption or rental loss insurance covering revenues or rents for a period of at least 12
months; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage
described in this paragraph beyond what is reasonably available at a commercially reasonable rate and consistent with the Servicing
Standard, and in no case will any such insurance be an expense of the Special Servicer.


 


All
such insurance policies maintained as described above shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a “standard”
mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer (on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders and, with
respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), or shall name the Trustee as the insured,
with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (on behalf of Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced
Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of an REO Property).
Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under any such policies (other than amounts to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property or amounts to be released to
the related Borrower, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or,
in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), subject to withdrawal pursuant
to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related
Serviced Companion Loan, or in the applicable REO Account of the Special Servicer, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.15 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan so permit; provided
that this sentence shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund to enforce
any obligations of the related Borrower under such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan. Any costs incurred
by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans or Specially Serviced Loans
(other than REO Properties) (i) if the Borrower 



    -210-


     


    

 


defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer
as a Servicing Advance and will be charged to the related Borrower and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions
to Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of
such Mortgage Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance policies with respect
to Serviced REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall
be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement) payable out of the related REO
Account (or Serviced Whole Loan REO Account, as applicable) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced
by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (or paid from the Collection Account if the Master Servicer determines such Advance
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, subject to Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement).


 


(b)      If
either:


 


(x)      
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer obtains and maintains, or causes to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master
force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans
or Serviced REO Properties, as applicable, then, to the extent such policy


 


(i)       is
obtained from a Qualified Insurer, and


 


(ii)       provides
protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, or


 


(y)
    the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, in each case, its corporate parent), as applicable, has long-term unsecured debt
obligations or deposit accounts that are rated not lower than “A-” or its equivalent by S&P, “A-”
by Fitch and its equivalent by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA) and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer self-insures for its obligation
to maintain the individual policies otherwise required,


 


then
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance
to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or Serviced REO Properties, as applicable.


 


Such
a blanket or master force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, that maintains such policy shall, if there shall not have been maintained
on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying
with the requirements of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and there shall have been one or more losses that would have
been covered by such an individual policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan,
in the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), from its own funds, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket
or master force-placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such deductible clause to the extent that any
such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or the related Serviced Whole Loan
(or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual policy which is consistent
with the Servicing Standard). The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall prepare 



    -211-


     


    

 


and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee,
Certificateholders and, if applicable the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, claims under any such blanket or master force-placed
policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Property to be covered by such
“force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or
Serviced REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged
Property or Serviced REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Servicing Advance.


 


(c)      With
respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy,
if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance
with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and
achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. With respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and
Serviced REO Property that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any
event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, such Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are
in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim
thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust, on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (giving due regard to the junior nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan, if
any), is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in
connection with any claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer)
shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.


 


(d)      The
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special
Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Loans and/or Serviced REO Properties
as to which it is the Special Servicer are included in the Trust Fund) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer, a fidelity bond
in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by
the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as the
case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the
Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent
if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent), as applicable, are rated not
lower than “A-” or its equivalent by S&P, “A-” by Fitch and its equivalent by KBRA (if then rated
by KBRA)), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to the fidelity bond coverage
required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.


 



    -212-


     


    

 





The
Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of
the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Loans and/or Serviced REO
Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer a policy or policies of insurance covering
loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with their servicing obligations hereunder,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has
such insurance and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten
days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the
Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate
parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A-” or its equivalent by S&P, “A-” by Fitch and
its equivalent by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with
respect to the errors and omissions coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an
insurance policy with respect to such coverage.


 


Section
3.09 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions. (a) If any Serviced Mortgage
Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause (including,
without limitation, sales or transfers of Mortgaged Properties (in full or part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation
of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower or its owners), which by its terms:


 


(i)        provides
that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan will (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 (including, without limitation,
the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower or its owners),


 


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


 


(iii)      provides
that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of
the mortgagee, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,


 


then,
the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), to the extent such action is not
a Special Servicer Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and, to the extent such action
is a Special Servicer Major Decision, Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans)) shall determine, in each case
in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise
any right it may have with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon
or (y) to grant or withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right
to exercise such rights; provided that, (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a

Major Decision,
prior to itself taking such an action, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain, other than during
the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder pursuant
to Section 6.07 (or (1) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but other than during a Consultation Termination
Event and (2) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder and the Risk
Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.07 and (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing
such action, prior to consenting to such action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect
to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that (1) represents
more than 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance
of at least $10,000,000, (2) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, (3) represents one of the ten largest
Mortgage Loans or groups of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance
of at least $10,000,000, or (4) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan (A) represents one of the ten
largest mortgage loans in the related Other Securitization based on outstanding principal balance and has an outstanding principal
balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents more than 5% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans
then outstanding in the related Other Securitization and has an outstanding principal balance of at least $10,000,000 or (C) has
an outstanding principal balance that is more than $35,000,000 (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, shall be entitled to request and reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer,
special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of the applicable Other Securitization as to whether any condition in clause
(4)(A) or (B) is met, or if no timely response is received, entitled to reasonably rely on the most recent CREFC® reports
related to the applicable Other Securitization).


 


The
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing
Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that any such assumption or substitution agreement has
been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee
and the Directing Holder, as applicable) the original copy of such agreement, which copies shall be added to the related Mortgage
File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. To the extent not precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer
shall approve an assumption or substitution without requiring the related Borrower to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies
associated with the approval of such assumption or substitution. However, if the related Borrower is required but fails to pay
such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be
allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that in the case
of a Serviced Whole Loan the Master Servicer shall be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the holder of the related Companion Loan and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts
to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement
for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Companion Loan from the holders of such Companion Loan.

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer
shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed
Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof,
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.07 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.


 


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


 


(i)        provides
that such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become
due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or any direct or indirect
ownership interest in the borrower (including, unless specifically permitted, any mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged
Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners),


 


(ii)       requires
the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property (including,
without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity
in the Borrower or its owners), or


 


(iii)      provides
that such Mortgaged Property may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee (including, without limitation, any
mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its
owners), provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,


 


then,
the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), to the extent such action is not
a Special Servicer Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and, to the extent such action
is a Special Servicer Major Decision, Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans)) shall determine, in each case
in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise
any right it may have with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole 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) grant or waive its right to exercise such rights; provided that, (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights
that is a Major Decision, prior to itself taking such an action, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
obtain, other than during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the
Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 (or (1) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a
Consultation Termination Event and (2) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing
Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.07 and (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
processing such action, prior to consenting to such action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency
with respect to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that (1)
represents more than 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding, (2) has a Stated Principal
Balance that is more than 



    -215-


     


    

 


$35,000,000, (3) represents one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or groups of cross-collateralized
Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance, (4) has an aggregate loan-to-value ratio (including any existing and proposed
additional debt) that is equal to or greater than 85%, (5) has an aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio (in each case, determined
based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, any existing additional debt and the principal
amount of the proposed additional lien) that is less than 1.20x or (6) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion
Loan (A) represents one of the ten largest mortgage loans in the related Other Securitization based on outstanding principal balance,
(B) represents more than 2% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans then outstanding in the related
Other Securitization or (C) has an outstanding principal balance that is more than $35,000,000 (provided that the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to request and reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special
servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of the applicable Other Securitization as to whether any condition in clause (6)(A)
or (B) is met, or if no timely response is received, entitled to reasonably rely on the most recent CREFC® reports related
to the applicable Other Securitization); provided that with respect to clauses (1), (3), (4) and (5), such Mortgage Loan
shall have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for the requirement of a Rating Agency Confirmation to apply.


 


The
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing
Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that the creation of any lien or other encumbrance has
been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee
and the Directing Holder, as applicable) the original copy (if available, and otherwise, a copy) of the document creating such
lien or encumbrance, which copies shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part
of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not
precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall approve the creation of any lien or
other encumbrance without requiring the related Borrower to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval
of such lien or encumbrance. However, if the related Borrower is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense
of the Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation
provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan the Master Servicer
shall be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the
holder of the related Companion Loan and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the
rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such
amount allocable to the related Companion Loan from the holders of such Companion Loan.


 


Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the
related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by
the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.07 for consulting with
the Operating Advisor.


 



    -216-


     


    

 





(c)       Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive its rights or grant its
consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating to any Mortgage Loan without,
if no Control Termination Event is continuing, the consent of the Directing Holder. The Directing Holder shall have 10 Business
Days (or longer period provided by the related Intercreditor Agreement) after receipt of notice along with the Special Servicer’s
recommendation and analysis with respect to such waiver and any additional information the Directing Holder may reasonably request
from the Special Servicer of a proposed waiver or consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance”
clause in which to grant or withhold its consent (provided that if the Special Servicer fails to receive a response to
such notice from the Directing Holder in writing within such period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have consented
to such proposed waiver or consent).


 


(d)      The
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any waivers that it processes pursuant to Section
3.09(a) or (b) of this Agreement to the other party, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such waivers
to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and the related Other
17g-5 Information Provider (if any) with respect to each Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.


 


(e)      Nothing
in this Section 3.09 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 lien
or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.


 


(f)       In
connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall
not agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a)
of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced
Companion Loan or the related Mortgage Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.26 hereof, as applicable.


 


(g)      With
respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through
defeasance:


 


(i)         Subject
to the consent rights and processes set forth in Section 6.07 with respect to Major Decisions, the Master Servicer shall
process all defeasances of Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Loan
Documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto (provided that for the avoidance of doubt,
any such defeasance fee shall not include the Special Servicer’s portion of any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection
with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement).


 


(ii)       If
such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan requires that the lender purchase the required government
securities, then the Master Servicer shall purchase, or shall cause the purchase of, such obligations on behalf of the Trust,
at the related Borrower’s expense, in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage 



    -217-


     


    

 


Loan; provided that the Master Servicer
shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Borrower to effect defeasance until acceptable government securities have been
identified.


 


(iii)       To
the extent not inconsistent with such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall require the related Borrower
to provide an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the related Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee has a first
priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral (including the government securities) and the assignment of
the defeasance collateral is valid and enforceable; such opinion, together with any other certificates or documents to be required
in connection with such defeasance shall be in form and substance acceptable to each Rating Agency.


 


(iv)       To
the extent not inconsistent with such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall require a certificate at
the related Borrower’s expense from an Independent certified public accountant certifying to the effect that the government
securities 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 Loan Documents.


 


(v)       Prior
to permitting the release of any Mortgaged Property through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall obtain, to the extent permissible
under the related Loan Documents and at the related Borrower’s expense, a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that
the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency if such Mortgage Loan
at the time of such defeasance is not (x) a Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such
Mortgage Loan) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal
Balance equal to or greater than $35,000,000 or (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents 5% or more of the Stated Principal Balance
of all Mortgage Loans.


 


(vi)      Prior
to permitting release of any Mortgaged Property through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall require an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such release will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions; provided that to the extent not
inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the related Borrower shall pay the cost related to the Opinion of
Counsel (and shall otherwise be a Servicing Advance).


 


(vii)     No
defeasance shall occur on or prior to the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the Trust REMICs, or in the case of any Companion
Loan, the later of the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the Trust REMICs and the second anniversary of the startup day
of any REMIC holding such Companion Loan.


 


(viii)    The
Trustee shall at the expense of the related Borrower (to the extent not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents) hold the
U.S. government securities as pledgee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan
Noteholders, and the Certificate Administrator shall apply payments of principal and interest received on the government obligations
to the Collection Account (or Serviced 



    -218-


     


    

 


Whole Loan Collection Account) in respect of the defeased Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole
Loan according to the payment schedule existing immediately prior to the defeasance.


 


(ix)       The
Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce provisions in the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing
requiring Borrowers to pay all reasonable expenses associated with a defeasance.


 


(x)        To
the extent not inconsistent with such Mortgage Loan, or to the extent the related Loan Documents provide the lender with discretion,
the Master Servicer shall require a single purpose entity, formed solely for the purpose of owning and pledging the government
securities related to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, to act as a successor borrower.


 


(xi)       The
Master Servicer may accept as defeasance collateral of any “government security,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation’s
Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(ii), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements in the Loan Documents; provided that the
Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such defeasance collateral will not cause an Adverse REMIC
Event.


 


(xii)      Neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall charge a fee for defeasance in excess of that permitted under the Loan Documents
in the event that the Loan Documents provide for such a fee limitation.


 


(h)      When
the Special Servicer’s consent is requested under this Section 3.09, such consent shall be deemed given 15 Business
Days (or such longer time period pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement but not less than five (5) Business
Days after the time period set forth therein for Directing Holder approval) after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the
Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such
proposed action together with such other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer.


 


Section
3.10 Appraisals; Realization upon Defaulted Loans. (a) Other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan,
contemporaneously with the earliest of (i) the effective date of any (A) modification of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity
Date, a Mortgage Rate, principal balance or amortization terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other term of
a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, (B) extension of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Whole Loan as described below in Section 3.26 of this Agreement, or (C) consent to the release of any Mortgaged Property
from the lien of the related Mortgage other than pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, (ii)
the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, (iii) a default in the payment of a Balloon Payment for which an extension is
not granted, or (iv) the date on which the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, requests an Updated Valuation,
the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an Updated Valuation (or a letter update for an existing
appraisal which is less than two years old) within 60 days of such request, the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance;
provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an Updated Valuation pursuant to clauses (i) through
(iv) above with respect to any Mortgaged Property for which there exists an Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or 



    -219-


     


    

 


Small Loan Appraisal Estimate which is less than nine months old unless the Special
Servicer has actual knowledge of a material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would
call into question the validity of such Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or Small Loan Appraisal Estimate. For so long as such Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (i) the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of the end of each 9-month
period following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, use commercially reasonable efforts to order an Appraisal (which may be
an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance and (ii) the Master Servicer shall recalculate
the Appraisal Reduction Amount prior to the Special Servicer granting extensions beyond one year or any subsequent extension after
granting a one year extension with respect to the same Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Subject to any required consent from
the Directing Holder and consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party and Operating Advisor pursuant to Section
6.07, nothing herein is intended to limit the Special Servicer’s ability to pursue multiple strategies contemporaneously
if the Special Servicer deems such actions appropriate under the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall update, in accordance
with the timing described above, each Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal for so long as an Appraisal Reduction
Event exists with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and the Master Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal
Reduction Amount based on such updated Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal and receipt of information reasonably
requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer to the extent such information is in the possession of (or reasonably
obtainable at no additional expense by) the Special Servicer, reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount.
The Special Servicer shall send all such letter updates and Updated Valuations to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating
Advisor, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website
pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any), the Risk Retention
Consultation Party and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder.


 


The
Special Servicer shall monitor each Specially Serviced Loan, evaluate whether the causes of the default can be corrected over
a reasonable period without significant impairment of the value of the related Mortgaged Property, initiate corrective action
in cooperation with the Borrower if, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, cure is likely, and take such other actions (including
without limitation, negotiating and accepting a discounted payoff of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan) as are consistent
with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no satisfactory
arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and the Specially Serviced Loan has not been released from the
Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof, and except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.09(a) and 3.09(b)
of this Agreement, the Special Servicer may, to the extent consistent with the Asset Status Report (and with the consent of
the Directing Holder, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, and after consultation with each of the Risk Retention Consultation
Party pursuant to Section 6.07) and with the Servicing Standard, accelerate such Specially Serviced Loan and commence a
foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or Properties, provided that the Special
Servicer determines that such acceleration and foreclosure are more likely to produce a greater recovery to Certificateholders
and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable,
Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, constituted a single lender) (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related
Subordinate Companion 



    -220-


     


    

 


Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) on a present value
basis (discounting at the related Calculation Rate) than would a waiver of such default or an extension or modification in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.26 hereof. In connection with causing the Trust to foreclose on collateral that consists
of multiple properties held for sale to customers by the related Borrower (such as unsold condominium units in a single project),
the Special Servicer directing such foreclosure shall consider the effect of the bidding price for the properties on the tax basis
of such properties if such properties are likely to be treated in the hands of the Trust as properties held for sale to customers.
The Master Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Servicing Advance would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if such Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance but the Special
Servicer determines that such payment would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, as applicable,
constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking
into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) (with the Master Servicer permitted to conclusively
rely upon any such determination by the Special Servicer), the Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer to make such
payment from the Collection Account (or, if applicable, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), which payment
shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely (and with respect to the Special
Servicer, shall rely) upon any determination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Servicing Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer does not make such Servicing Advance in violation of the second preceding
sentence, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance, unless the Trustee determines that such Servicing Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of Servicing Advances
(with interest at the Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant to this paragraph to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this
Agreement.


 


(b)     If
the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged
Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Borrower or
any other liable party if (i) the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure
or (ii) if the Special Servicer determines, in its best judgment, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained
will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination
is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.


 


(c)      In
the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate
of sale shall be issued to the Trustee (on behalf of the Trust Fund), or to its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer)
or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee on behalf of the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificateholders
and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of
the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, shall
(except for purposes of Section 9.01 of this Agreement) be considered to be a Serviced REO 



    -221-


     


    

 


Loan until such time as the
related Serviced REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. Consistent
with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable,
shall be considered to be an outstanding Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable:


 


(i)        it
shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged,
such Mortgage Note and, for purposes of determining the Stated Principal Balance thereof, the related amortization schedule in
effect at the time of any such acquisition of title shall remain in effect; and


 


(ii)       subject
to Section 1.02(g) of this Agreement, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to amounts that would have
been payable under the related Mortgage Note(s) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note(s) and any applicable Intercreditor
Agreement. In the absence of such terms, Net REO Proceeds shall, subject to Section 1.02(g) of this Agreement, be deemed
to have been received first, in payment of the accrued interest that remained unpaid on the date that the related Serviced
REO Property was acquired by the Trust Fund; second, in respect of the delinquent principal installments that remained
unpaid on such date; and thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the payment of installments
of principal and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, deemed to be due and payable
in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note(s) and such amortization schedule until such principal has been paid in full
and then to other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable. If such Net REO Proceeds exceed
the Periodic Payment then payable, the excess shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment received in respect of such Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable.


 


(d)     Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property
pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:


 


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


 


(ii)       the
Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Lower-Tier
REMIC) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Lower-Tier REMIC will not cause the imposition of a tax
on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate
is outstanding (and such Opinion of Counsel may be premised on the designation hereby of any such personal property as being deemed
part of an “outside reserve fund” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h)) with the owner
of such personal property for federal income tax purposes to be designated at such time).


 


(e)      Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, obtain title to
any direct or indirect 



    -222-


     


    

 


partnership interest or other equity interest in any Borrower pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement
unless the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the
Trust Fund (and in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions
of the related Intercreditor Agreement)) to the effect that the holding of such partnership interest or other equity interest
by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.


 


(f)       Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not cause the Trustee, on behalf of the
Trust Fund, to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, to obtain title to
any direct or indirect partnership interest in any Borrower pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial
owner of a Mortgaged Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise cause the Trustee to
acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the
Trustee, for the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, if applicable, 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 the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts
environmental audits (which report shall be an expense of the Trust), performed within six 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 the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Pari Passu Companion
Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate
Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such actions
as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, and


 


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



    -223-


     


    

 


such Subordinate Companion Loan), to
take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.


 


In
the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgaged Property indicates
that such Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present
but does not definitively establish such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to be conducted
by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests
of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the
environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.


 


(g)      The
environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months (or as
soon thereafter as practicable) of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by
the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. Upon the written direction of the Special Servicer and
delivery by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of pertinent back-up information the Master Servicer shall advance the
cost of preparation of such environmental assessments as a Servicing Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good
faith judgment, that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
of Servicing Advances (with interest at the Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted
by Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any environmental assessments in electronic
format to the Directing Holder (if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the
Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider
(who shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of
this Agreement), monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a
Defaulted Loan or defaulted Serviced Companion Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(f)
of this Agreement 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 (i) satisfaction of both such conditions, (ii) repurchase of the
related Mortgage Loan by the Mortgage Loan Seller or (iii) release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.


 


(h)      If
the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(f)(i) of this Agreement that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance
with applicable environmental laws but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (and with respect to the Serviced
Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable,
Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced
Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such
actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant
to Section 3.10(f)(ii) of this Agreement that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are
present 



    -224-


     


    

 


but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (and with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders
constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking
into account the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of Hazardous Materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, the Special
Servicer shall (with the consent of the Directing Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) and after consultation
with the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 6.07) take such action as it deems
to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (and with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, the Serviced Companion Loan
Noteholders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted
a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account
the subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), but only if the Certificate Administrator has mailed notice
to the Holders of the Non-VRR Certificates and the VRR Interest and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of such proposed
action, which notice shall be prepared by the Special Servicer, and only if the Certificate Administrator does not receive, within
30 days of such notification, instructions from the Holders of the Non-VRR Certificates and the VRR Interest entitled to a majority
of the Voting Rights and, with respect to Serviced Whole Loans, the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders directing the
Special Servicer not to take such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines that it
is likely that within such 30-day period irreparable environmental harm to such Mortgaged Property would result from the presence
of such Hazardous Materials and provides a prior written statement to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator setting forth
the basis for such determination, then the Special Servicer may take or cause to be taken such action to remedy such condition
as may be consistent with the Servicing Standard. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer shall be obligated to take any action or not take any action pursuant to this Section 3.10(g) at the direction
of the Certificateholders entitled to Voting Rights or with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, at the direction of the Certificateholders
entitled to Voting Rights and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders unless the Certificateholders entitled to Voting
Rights and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders agree to indemnify the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to such action or inaction. The Master
Servicer shall advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation as a Servicing Advance unless the
Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.


 


(i)       The
Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan) which is abandoned or foreclosed that requires reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with
all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and
any related Serviced Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related
Borrower, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099C or Form
1099A, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided 



    -225-


     


    

 


to the Master Servicer by the Special
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.


 


(j)       The
costs of any Updated Valuation obtained pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing
Advance (or from the Collection Account upon a non-recoverability determination) and shall be reimbursable from the Collection
Account or, with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans, first, from the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account
and second, to the extent amounts in the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts are insufficient therefor, from the Collection
Account in accordance with Section 3.06(a); provided that the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment from
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the related Companion Loan Noteholder and (ii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement
for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Serviced Companion Loans from the related Companion Loan
Noteholders.


 


Section
3.11 Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Whole Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary
for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Custodian by a certification (which certification shall include
a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, pursuant to Section
3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the related
Mortgage File. Any expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance that is not paid
by the related Borrower shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer agrees to use reasonable efforts in accordance
with the Servicing Standard to enforce any provision in the relevant Loan Documents that require the Borrower to pay such amounts.
No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be an expense of the Custodian.


 


From
time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release,
the Custodian shall promptly release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation
or conversion of the Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan into a Serviced REO Property, or in the event of a substitution
of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, or receipt by the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer stating that such Mortgaged Property was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with
such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection
Account, as applicable, have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Serviced REO Property,
or that the Master Servicer has received a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount,
the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. If
from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and
as appropriate for enforcing the terms of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Other Servicer 



    -226-


     


    

 


or the Other Special Servicer
requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note by providing the Trustee and the Custodian a Request for Release, then the
Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to the Other Servicer or the Other Special Servicer
or its designee.


 


Within
five (5) Business Days (or, in case of an emergency, within such shorter period as is reasonable under the circumstances) after
receipt of a written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer (with
respect to Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) any court pleadings,
requests for a trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys, 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 Borrower on the Mortgage Note 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. Each such certification shall include a request that
such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required,
that the proposed action is consistent with the Servicing Standard 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.


 


With
respect to each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, on and after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, if pursuant to the related
Intercreditor Agreement and the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such
Servicing Shift Whole Loan, as applicable, the related Other Servicer requests in writing delivery to it of the related original
Note, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such related original Note to the related Other Servicer or its
designee.

for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced

this Agreement), 100% of Assumption Fees or processing fees with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced

respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion
thereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, in their sole discretion, but not any obligation,
to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided that (A) neither the Master Servicer nor
the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B)
to the extent either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective

right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee,
the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would
have been entitled if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged
by the Special Servicer.


 


The
Master Servicer and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights that relate to the Mortgage Loans (and any successor
REO Loans with respect to such Mortgage Loans) shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or
otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer
or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment

requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state
securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit AA-1 hereto and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit AA-2 hereto. None of the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Certificate Registrar
is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action
not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right
without registration or qualification. The Master Servicer and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect
a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and the Master Servicer hereby agrees,
and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to

the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar,
the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such
transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.
By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose such
information in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Act or other applicable securities laws or

any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Master Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage
Loan or successor REO Loan with respect thereto to which the Excess Servicing Fee Right relates, shall pay, out of each amount
paid to the Master Servicer as Servicing Fee with

Fee to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master
Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the
preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding
payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.


 


As
compensation for its activities hereunder on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled with respect
to each Mortgage Loan to its portion of the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit
in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account. The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the
Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee. The Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee
may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of its responsibilities and obligations
under this Agreement.


 


Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all of its overhead expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any sub-servicers retained by it (but excluding Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicers).

with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the
Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as Special Servicing Compensation, to the extent permitted by applicable law and
the related Loan Documents, (i) any Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or

Agreement) and as further described in Section 3.12(d) herein to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such
Specially Serviced Loan and any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and
Liquidation Fees) incurred during or prior to such Collection Period on such related Specially Serviced Loan (but not nonsufficient
funds check fees and the like, which shall be paid to the Master Servicer) as further described below in this subsection (b);

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will each be entitled to charge the related Borrower reasonable
review fees in connection with any borrower request.


 


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


 


Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder, including all fees of any sub-servicers retained by it.

Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees
and Liquidation Fees) incurred during or prior to such Collection Period on such related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (but not nonsufficient
funds check fees and similar fees, which shall be paid to the Master Servicer) as provided in this Agreement. Except as specified
in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer will not be entitled to the compensation set forth in this Section 3.12(b)
with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.


 


(c)          In addition, a Workout Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related
Serviced Companion Loan that ceases to be a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to the definition thereof. As to each such Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Workout Fee will be payable out of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled
payments, prepayments, Balloon Payments and payments at maturity) received on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan for so
long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will
cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes a Serviced
REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loans
again ceases to be a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns with respect
to any or all of its servicing duties, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan during the period that it had responsibility for servicing such Specially
Serviced Loan (or for any Specially Serviced Loan that had not yet become a Corrected Mortgage Loan because as of the time that
the Special Servicer is terminated the borrower has not made three consecutive monthly debt service payments and subsequently
the Specially Serviced Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan) at the time of such termination or resignation (and the successor
Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such loan
ceases to be payable in accordance with the preceding sentence.


 


A
Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer, except as described below, with respect to (i) each Mortgage Loan
repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller after the Initial Resolution Period (and giving effect to any Resolution Extension Period)
in accordance with Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement or that is subject to a Loss of Value Payment, (ii) each
Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer obtains a full, partial or discounted payoff from the related Borrower,
(iii) any Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds
and (iv) each Defaulted Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan sold by the Special Servicer in accordance with the proviso
in Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds; provided,
however, for clarification, in the case of clause (iv), should the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan be sold by the Other
Special Servicer, then the Liquidation Fee shall be paid to such Other Special Servicer. As to each such Mortgage Loan repurchased
by a Mortgage Loan Seller after the Initial Resolution Period (and giving effect to any Resolution Extension Period) in accordance
with Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement or Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Property, the Liquidation Fee will
be payable from the related payment or proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee
will be payable based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds to the extent set forth in the definition of “Liquidation Fee”
herein. With respect to any future mezzanine debt, to the extent not prohibited by the Loan Documents, the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require that the related


 



    -232-


     


    

 


 mezzanine intercreditor agreement provide that if a Mortgage Loan
is purchased by the related mezzanine lender on a date that is more than 90 days following the date that the related option
first becomes exercisable, such mezzanine lender shall be required to pay a Liquidation Fee equal to the amount that the Special
Servicer would otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement with respect to a liquidation of such Mortgage Loan (provided
that such Liquidation Fee shall in all circumstances be payable by the related mezzanine lender and shall not, under any circumstances,
be payable out of the Trust unless the Master Servicer fails to require the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement to require
the mezzanine lender to pay such amounts in breach of its obligation to do so under this paragraph). If Liquidation Proceeds are
received with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such
Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a
Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to Liquidation Proceeds received on any Mortgage Loan or any Specially Serviced Loan.
If (i) the Special Servicer resigns or has been terminated, and (ii) either prior or subsequent to such resignation
or termination, either (A) a Specially Serviced Loan was liquidated or modified pursuant to an action plan submitted by the
initial Special Servicer and approved (or deemed approved) by the Directing Holder or the Special Servicer has determined to grant
a forbearance, or (B) a Specially Serviced Loan being monitored by the Special Servicer subsequently became a Corrected Mortgage
Loan, then in either such event the Special Servicer shall be paid the related Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee, as applicable.


 


The
total amount of Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees that are payable by the Trust with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole
Loan or Serviced REO Loan through the period such Mortgage Loan is an asset of the Trust shall be subject to an aggregate cap
of $1,000,000. For the purposes of determining whether any such cap has been reached with respect to a Special Servicer and a
Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Loan, only the Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees paid to such Special Servicer
with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Serviced REO Loan shall be taken into account, and any Workout Fees
or Liquidation Fees for any other Mortgage Loans, Serviced Whole Loans or Serviced REO Loans shall not be taken into account (and
any Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees paid to a predecessor or successor special servicer or Other Special Servicer shall also
not be taken into account).


 


The
Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including, without limitation, any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing
to any of its sub-servicers, any amounts due and owing to any of its Affiliates, and the premiums for any blanket insurance policy
obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement, except to the extent such
premiums are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement), if and to the extent such expenses are not
expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the applicable Serviced Whole
Loan Collection Account or the applicable REO Account or as a Servicing Advance, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled
to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.


 






    -233-


     


    

 


The
Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration
(including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement)
from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of
a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection
with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole 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 3.12; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate
Fees.


 


(d)         
In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on
any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan or, unless prohibited by the related Intercreditor
Agreement to be so applied, any Serviced Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period shall be applied (as between Default
Interest and late payment charges, in the priority set forth in the definition of “Advance Interest Amount”)
to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances at the Reimbursement Rate with respect to such
Mortgage Loan that accrued in the period that such Penalty Charges were collected and advance interest to any related Serviced
Companion Loan Service Provider for any debt service advance made by such party with respect to any related Serviced Companion
Loan that accrued in the period that such Penalty Charges were collected, (ii) the Trust Fund for all interest on Advances
with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan previously paid to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or to any Serviced
Companion Loan Service Provider pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(vi) or Section 3.06(b)(vi) of this Agreement
and (iii) the Trust Fund for any Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation
Fees) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan paid in or prior to the Collection Period that such Penalty Charges
were collected and not previously paid out of Penalty Charges, and any Penalty Charges remaining thereafter shall be distributed
pro rata to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based upon the amount of Penalty Charges the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer would otherwise have been entitled to receive during such period with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Whole Loan without any such application. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to
any Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO
Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the portion of Penalty Charges allocated to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Serviced
Whole Loan (in accordance with the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and, if applicable, the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
shall be allocated in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above (except that, Advances in clauses (i) and (ii) shall
mean P&I Advances).


 


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


 



    -234-


     


    

 


compensation
or have such rights and obligations. If such Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the related Servicing
Shift Securitization Date, the Other Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect
to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as the Special Servicer with respect to such
Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Other Special Servicer were replacing the Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer
with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.


 


If
any Servicing Shift Whole Loan is being specially serviced on the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to compensation for the period during which it acted as Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift
Whole Loan, including its share of any liquidation or workout fees and any additional servicing compensation as well as all surviving
indemnity and other rights in respect of such special servicing role under this Agreement.


 


(e)        
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from
the Trust Fund (and, prior to recovery from the Trust Fund, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loans, subject to the related Intercreditor
Agreement, first, from the related Subordinate Companion Loan up to the full principal balance thereof, if any, and second,
to the extent any such costs and expenses remain unreimbursed, from the related Mortgage Loan and the Collection Account, or in
the case of a Serviced Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, first, out of the related Serviced Whole Loan
Collection Account from collections on the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and the related Mortgage Loan on a pro
rata basis by principal balance, and second, to the extent any such costs and expenses remain unreimbursed, out of
the Collection Account) for the costs and expenses incurred by them in the performance of their duties under this Agreement which
are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii).
Such expenses shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, environmental assessments, Updated Appraisals and
appraisals in connection with foreclosure, the fees and expenses of any administrative or judicial proceeding and expenses expressly
identified as reimbursable in Section 3.06(a)(xv) of this Agreement. All such costs and expenses shall be treated
as costs and expenses of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the related Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable.


 


(f)         
No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of any of
their rights or powers, if, in the good faith business judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, repayment of such funds
would not be ultimately recoverable from late payments, Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and other collections
on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans, or from adequate indemnity from other assets comprising the Trust Fund against such risk
or liability.


 


If
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
or the Trustee receives a request or inquiry from a Borrower, any Certificateholder or any other Person the response to which
would, in the


 



    -235-


     


    

 


Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Operating Advisor’s,
the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Trustee’s good faith business judgment require the assistance of Independent
legal counsel or other consultant to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee, the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund or any Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating
Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to take any action in response
to such request or inquiry unless such Borrower, such Certificateholder, or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements
for the payment of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Operating
Advisor’s, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Trustee’s reasonable expenses associated with such counsel
(including, without limitation, posting an advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee, as the case
may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such arrangements have been made, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability
to any Person for the failure to respond to such request or inquiry.

(iii)         
Within 30 days after receipt by the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property) or the
Master Servicer (in the case of any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan) of any annual year-end operating statements
or related rent rolls with respect to any Mortgaged Property (except with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced

for a Specially Serviced Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to update the CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis
Report for such Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that any analysis or update with respect to the year-end
or first quarter of each year shall not be required to the extent such analysis or update is not required to be provided under
the then current applicable CREFC® guidelines.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon request by a Rating
Agency, shall forward such items to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such items to the 17g-5 Information
Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).


 


The
Master Servicer shall maintain one CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report for each Mortgaged Property (and
shall not be required to maintain any such report for a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced
REO Property (to the extent prepared by and received from the Special Servicer in the case of any Serviced REO Property or any
Mortgaged Property constituting security for a Specially Serviced Loan) relating to a Mortgage Loan that it is servicing. The
CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Report for each Mortgaged Property (other than any such Mortgaged Property
that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or that is a Serviced REO Property or constitutes security for a Specially Serviced
Loan) is to be updated with trailing 12-month information, as available, or year-to-date information until 12-month trailing information
(commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2021 (to the extent that the related Borrower provides sufficient information

Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder of Certificates or a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or a beneficial
holder of Book-Entry Certificates or a regulator or a governmental body and will keep such information confidential and will use
such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
and the Trustee shall be permitted (but shall not be required) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any Mortgage
Loan, Serviced Whole Loan, any Certificateholder, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, any Mortgaged Property or any REO Property;

Information Provider shall post such summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement.


 


(g)         
None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.14 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict
oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such
Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset
Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval
of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a

the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans to any
Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Borrower,
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 the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
has in fact provided such information to such Rating Agency in accordance with Section 3.14(e); or (z) the Rating
Agency confirms in writing 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


 



    -251-


     


    

 


this clause
(z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement or
any other confidentiality agreement to which such Rating Agency is subject) 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 3.14(g).


 


(h)         
The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.14 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee and any other party hereto shall not be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.


 


Section 3.15     Title and Management of REO Properties and REO Accounts. (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired for the benefit of
Certificateholders (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in foreclosure,
by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
in the name of the 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 (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee,
on behalf of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders). The
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan
Noteholders), shall dispose of any Serviced REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which
the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such Serviced REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless (i) the
Special Servicer on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC has applied for an extension of such period pursuant to Sections 856(e)(3)
and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Special Servicer shall sell such Serviced REO Property within the applicable
extension period or if the Special Servicer has applied for extension as provided in this clause (i) but such
request has not yet been granted or denied, the additional time specified in such request, or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks
and subsequently receives an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, in the case of a Serviced
Whole Loan, such expenses shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth in the related Intercreditor
Agreement), addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by
the Trust Fund of such Serviced REO Property for an additional specified period will not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail
to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without
regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period subject to any conditions set forth
in such Opinion of Counsel. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the
related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders), shall dispose of any Serviced REO Property held by the Trust Fund prior to the last
day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such Serviced REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant
to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.16 hereof. In the case
of the Trust Fund’s beneficial interest in any REO Property acquired by the Other Trustee pursuant to an Other Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer shall coordinate with the Other Special Servicer with respect to any REO extension on
behalf of the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each Serviced REO Property for the
Certificateholders (and, in the case of the


 



    -252-


     


    

 


Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) solely for
the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify
as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to
the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale
of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property.


 


(b)         
The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the Servicing Standard and the specific requirements
and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any Serviced REO Property as are consistent with
the manner in which the Special Servicer manages and operates similar property owned or managed by the Special Servicer or any
of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders
and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and, in connection therewith, the
Special Servicer shall agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such Serviced REO Property any “net
income from foreclosure property,” within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, which is subject to tax
under the REMIC Provisions, only if it has determined, and has so advised the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing,
that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery on behalf
of Certificateholders (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) than an
alternative method of operation or rental of such Serviced REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax.


 


The
Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any Serviced REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any Serviced REO Property a segregated
custodial account (each, an “REO Account”), for the benefit of the Certificateholders, each of which shall
be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled (a) with respect to each of the Serviced Mortgage Loans other than the Equus Industrial
Portfolio Mortgage Loan, “KeyBank National Association, as General Special Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2021-B26, REO Account.” and (b) with respect to the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan, “Situs
Holdings, LLC, as Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee,
for the benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B26,
REO Account.” With respect to a Serviced REO Property securing a Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall establish
an REO Account solely with respect to such property (each such account, a “Serviced Whole Loan REO Account”),
each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled (i) with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan (other than the
Equus Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan), “KeyBank National Association, as General Special Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B26 and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders REO Account,” and (ii) with
respect to the Equus Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan, “Situs Holdings,


 



    -253-


     


    

 


LLC, as Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer,
on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage
Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B26 and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders REO Account,”
in each case to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. The Special
Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account
or a Serviced Whole Loan REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited REO Proceeds in the REO Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan REO Account within
two Business Days after receipt of such properly identified and available REO Proceeds, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary
for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such Serviced REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses
with respect to such Serviced REO Property, including:


 


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


 


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


 


(iii)        
all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any Serviced REO Property
including, if applicable, the payments of any ground rents in respect of such Serviced REO Property; and


 


(iv)       
any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC, as applicable, in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with
Section 4.05, and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such expenses shall be allocated pro rata to the Mortgage
Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loans based on each loan’s Stated Principal Balance and only to the extent any such
Serviced Companion Loan is included in a REMIC.


 


To
the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Master
Servicer shall make such Advance unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, that such Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (provided that with respect to advancing
insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of the second to last paragraph
in Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement) and if the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance, the Trustee, to the
extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Master Servicer’s failure to make such Advance, shall make such Advance,
unless in each case, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer
or the Master Servicer, as applicable, that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the case of such determination
by the Special Servicer, shall be bound by such determination. The Trustee, when making an independent determination whether or
not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall use its good faith business judgment. The Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest at the Reimbursement Rate) made pursuant
to the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw
from each REO Account or


 



    -254-


     


    

 


Serviced Whole Loan REO Account, as applicable, and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the
Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, on a monthly basis on the later of
the date that is (x) on or prior to the related Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are
received and properly identified and determined to be available, the Net REO Proceeds received or collected from each Serviced
REO Property, except that in determining the amount of such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account
or Serviced Whole Loan REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other
related expenses.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:


 


(i)  
permit any New Lease to be entered into, renewed or extended, 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 Serviced REO Property, other than the repair or maintenance thereof or the completion
of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent 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 Person to Directly Operate any Serviced REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its
date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;


 


unless,
in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, the
Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, in the case of a Serviced
Whole Loan with a Serviced Companion Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the
related Intercreditor Agreement) to the effect that such action will not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the
exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in
which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.


 


The
Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense
of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation
provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement) and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any Serviced
REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any Serviced REO
Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such Serviced REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund,
and in the case of a Serviced


 



    -255-


     


    

 


Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the
related Intercreditor Agreement), provided that:


 


(1)         
the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and shall not
be inconsistent herewith;


 


(2)         
any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Serviced REO Property, including those listed above, and remit
all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
30 days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;


 


(3)         
none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(b) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such
Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund,
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholders,
with respect to the operation and management of any such Serviced REO Property; and


 


(4)         
the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and
obligations in connection with the operation and management of such Serviced REO Property.


 


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


 


(c)         
Promptly following any acquisition by the Special Servicer of a Serviced REO Property on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Special
Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer thereof, and, upon delivery of such notice, the Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated
Valuation thereof, but only if any Updated Valuation with respect thereto is more than 9 months old and the Special Servicer has
no actual knowledge of any material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into
question the validity of such Updated Valuation, in order to determine the fair market value of such Serviced REO Property and
shall notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion
Loan, if any, and of the results of such Updated Valuation. Any such Updated Appraisal shall be conducted in accordance with Appraisal
Institute standards and the cost thereof shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated to Classes of Principal Balance Certificates
and the VRR Interest (in the same manner as Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses as set forth in Section 4.01(d)
of this Agreement). In the case of any Serviced Whole Loan such expenses shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation
provisions set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Special Servicer shall obtain a new Updated Valuation or a letter
update every 9 months thereafter until the Serviced REO Property is sold.


 


(d)         
When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Certificate Administrator a statement prepared by the Special Servicer
setting forth the amount of net income


 



    -256-


     


    

 


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 Serviced REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a)
and 3.15(b) of this Agreement.


 


(e)         
Upon the disposition of any Serviced REO Property in accordance with this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer shall
calculate the Gain-on-Sale Proceeds allocable to a Mortgage Loan or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan, if any, realized in connection
with such sale.


 


Section 3.16     Sale of Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties. (a)  The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit
the sale or purchase of, a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan only on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 3.16 or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Section 2.03(e)
and Section 9.01 of this Agreement or in an applicable Intercreditor Agreement. The Special Servicer may only
sell a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan together with the related Mortgage Loan if it has received consent of the holder of
the related Subordinate Companion Loan.


 


(b)         
If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders
or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholders
(as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single
lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the
subordinate nature of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) to attempt to sell a Defaulted Loan (other than any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan) and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall solicit offers for each such Defaulted Loan
on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholders in such manner
as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. In the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent that such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Other Special Servicer for the related
Non-Serviced Whole Loan and, if permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to
sell (with the consent of the Directing Holder (if no Control Termination Event is continuing) and after consulting on a non-binding
basis with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to Section 6.07) 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 shall
be entitled to a Liquidation Fee in connection with such sale). Subject to the qualifications described in this Section 3.16,
the Special Servicer shall accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted
Loan. Subject to Section 3.16(k), if the Special Servicer receives more than one cash offer that constitutes a fair
price for such Defaulted Loan during the period designated by the Special Servicer for receipt of offers, the Special Servicer
shall accept the highest price.


 


The
Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Directing
Holder (other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party not less than ten (10)
Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any such Defaulted Loan, and


 



    -257-


     


    

 


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 such Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(c)         
Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special
Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an
Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) the offer
is the highest offer received, and (ii) if the offer is less than the applicable Purchase Price, at least two other offers are
received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair
price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or Updated Appraisal
conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a
narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an
Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to such Defaulted Loan, (ii) by the Master Servicer if the
Special Servicer is making such an offer unless the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates or (iii) the Operating
Advisor if the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates and the Special Servicer is making an offer. The cost of any
such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. In addition,
the Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, an independent third party expert in
real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar
to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, that has been selected with reasonable care by the trustee
to determine such fair price and will be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination.
Any costs and fees of the Trustee in connection with an offer by an Interested Person and the Trustee’s duties therewith
shall be paid in advance of any such determination by such Interested Person.


 


In
determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan,
the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal
that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an
Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account,
as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the Delinquency on such Defaulted Loan, the period and amount of
the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property, the state of the local economy in the area where
the Mortgaged Property is located, the expected recovery from such Defaulted Loan if the Special Servicer were to pursue a workout
strategy, and the time and expense associated with a purchaser’s foreclosing on the related Mortgaged Property.


 


In
addition, the Special Servicer shall refer to all other relevant information obtained by it or otherwise contained in the Mortgage
File; provided that the Special Servicer shall take account of any change in circumstances regarding the related Mortgaged
Property known to the Special Servicer that has occurred subsequent to, and that would, in the Special Servicer’s reasonable
judgment, materially affect the value of the related Mortgaged Property reflected in the most recent related Appraisal. Furthermore,
the Special Servicer may consider available objective third party information obtained from generally available sources, as well
as information obtained


 



    -258-


     


    

 


from vendors providing real estate services to the Special Servicer, concerning the market for distressed
real estate loans and the real estate market for the subject property type in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is
located. The Special Servicer may, to the extent it is reasonable to do so in accordance with the Servicing Standard, conclusively
rely on any opinions or reports of qualified Independent experts in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least
five years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Specially Serviced Loan, selected with reasonable
care by the Special Servicer, in making such determination. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, Servicing Advances. The other parties to
this Agreement shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for information made by the Special Servicer in order to allow the
Special Servicer to perform its duties pursuant to this Section 3.16(c).


 


The
Purchase Price (which, in connection with the administration of a Defaulted Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be construed
and calculated as if the loans in such Serviced Whole Loan together constitute a single Mortgage Loan thereunder) for any such
Defaulted Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.


 


(d)         
Subject to subsection (c) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in negotiating and taking any other
action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any such Defaulted Loan, and the applicable collection of all amounts
payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account prospective offerors,
and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information
pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the REO Account the Collection Account
or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account. Any sale of such Defaulted
Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those
representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations applied thereto and any customary closing
matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee
shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Noteholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted
by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.


 


(e)         
Any sale of such Defaulted Loan shall be for cash only.


 


(f)          
The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Serviced REO Property only on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16 or as otherwise expressly provided in an applicable Intercreditor
Agreement.


 


(g)         
The Special Servicer shall solicit offers for each Serviced REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case
of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize
a fair price within the time period provided for by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer (with
the consent of the Directing Holder for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing) shall accept the first cash offer
received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Serviced REO Property. Subject to Section 3.16(k),
if the Special Servicer receives more


 



    -259-


     


    

 


than one cash offer that constitutes a fair price for such Serviced REO Property during
the period designated by the Special Servicer for receipt of offers, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest price. If the
Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any
Serviced REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer
(with the consent of the Directing Holder for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing) shall dispose of such Serviced
REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery
thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless of from
whom received.


 


The
Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset
Representations Reviewer and the Directing Holder, not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention
to sell any Serviced REO Property, and 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 Serviced REO Property pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(h)         
Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Serviced REO Property, as the case may be, shall be determined by the
Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror
is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless it
is the highest offer received. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for
any such Serviced REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent appraisal or Updated Appraisal
conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or in the absence of any such appraisal, on a
narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate
of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to a Serviced REO Property (or by the Master Servicer if the Special
Servicer is making such an offer). The cost of any such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal and any related costs and fees
of the Trustee shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. In determining whether any offer from a
Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced REO Property, the Special Servicer shall
take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained
pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes
a fair price for any such Serviced REO Property, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among
other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property or Serviced REO Property,
the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of any Serviced REO Property within the time period specified in
Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement. The Purchase Price (which, in connection with the administration of a Serviced
REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be construed and calculated as if the loans in such Serviced Whole Loan together
constitute a single Mortgage Loan thereunder) for any Serviced REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price. In addition,
the Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, an independent third party to determine
such fair price and will be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination. Any costs
and fees of the Trustee in connection with an offer by an Interested Person and the Trustee’s duties therewith shall be
paid in advance of any such determination by such Interested Person.


 






    -260-


     


    

 


(i)          
Subject to subsections (g) and (h) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders) in negotiating
and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Serviced REO Property, and the applicable
collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own
account prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation
and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the
Collection Account or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account. Any sale
of a Serviced REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust
Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations applied thereto and
any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.


 


(j)          
Any sale of a Serviced REO Property shall be for cash only.


 


(k)         
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.16, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated
to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Directing Holder (other than with
respect to any applicable Excluded Loan or unless a Consultation Termination Event exists), the Risk Retention Consultation Party
(other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) (which consultation shall be non-binding) and, in the case of a Serviced
Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholder(s)), in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders 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 Loan Noteholders
(as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single
lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate
nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than
itself or its Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in
the best interests of the Certificateholders (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) and, in the case of a
Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and,
if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender) (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with
a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan).


 


(l)          
With respect to each defaulted Serviced Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall sell such defaulted Serviced Companion Loan
together with the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement as if
such Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loans were one whole loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders. The Special Servicer


 



    -261-


     


    

 


shall provide notice and other information required under the related Intercreditor
Agreement to the applicable Other Special Servicer as soon as practicable following its decision to attempt to sell, and prior
to commencement or marketing of, any Serviced Companion Loan. With respect to Serviced Whole Loans, the Special Servicer shall
be required to obtain the consent of any holder of a related Serviced Companion Loan prior to a sale of such Serviced Whole Loan,
unless (i) such holder is the related Borrower or an Affiliate or agent of the related Borrower or (ii) the Special Servicer delivers
to such holders of the related Serviced Companion Loans: (A) at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice of
any decision to attempt to sell the related Serviced Whole Loan; (B) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a
copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection
with any such proposed sale; (C) at least 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 holders of the applicable Serviced
Companion Loans that are material to the sale price of such Serviced Whole Loan; and (D) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable
period of time (but not less time than is afforded to other offerors, the Directing Holder 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 Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holders of the Serviced Companion
Loans (or, in any case, their respective representatives) shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such related Serviced
Whole Loan; however, the related Borrower and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale.


 


(m)         With respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, if the related Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, the
Special Servicer (or, on or after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Other Special Servicer under the Other
Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) will be required to sell such Servicing Shift Mortgage
Loan together with the related Companion Loan(s) as notes evidencing one whole loan, in accordance with the provisions of the
related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be.


 


Section 3.17     Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Inspections. (a) The Master Servicer (at its own
expense) (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause
to be inspected each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing at such times and in such manner
as is consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event shall inspect each Mortgaged Property with a Stated Principal Balance
(or in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by more than one Mortgaged Property, having an Allocated Loan Amount) of (A) $2,000,000
or more at least once every 12 months (commencing in 2022) and (B) less than $2,000,000 at least once every 24 months (commencing
in 2022), (or, in each case, at such decreased frequency as each Rating Agency shall have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation
relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any); provided that if a physical inspection has
been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months and the Master Servicer has no knowledge of a material
change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical inspection, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform or cause
to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty
(60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged
Property as soon as practicable after such


 



    -262-


     


    

 


Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long
as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan. The reasonable cost of each such inspection performed in accordance with
the Servicing Standard by the Special Servicer shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. With respect to a
Serviced Whole Loan, the costs described in the preceding sentence above that relate to the applicable Serviced Whole Loan shall
be paid out of amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account related to such Serviced Whole Loan (allocated
in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement). If funds in the applicable Serviced
Whole Loan Collection Account relating to a Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient, then any deficiency shall be paid from amounts
on deposit in the Collection Account; provided that the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the related Companion Loan Noteholder and (ii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement
for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the related Companion Loans from the related Companion Loan Noteholders.
With respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, the costs will be allocated, first, as an expense of the holders of the related
Subordinate Companion Loan, and second, as an expense of the holder(s) of the related Mortgage Loan and the related pari
passu Companion Loans (if any), pro rata and pari passu, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor
Agreement. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare a written report of the inspection describing,
among other things, the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan that it is servicing and
specifying the existence of any material vacancies in such Mortgaged Property, any sale, transfer or abandonment of such Mortgaged
Property of which it has actual knowledge, any material adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property, or any visible
material waste committed on applicable Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall send
such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s
Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the related Other 17g-5 Information Provider (if any) and,
upon request, to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers within 20 days of completion and receipt (by the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if earlier, any sub-servicer on their behalf) of the inspection report, each inspection
report.


 


(b)         
With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, in the
case of a Specially Serviced Loan) shall exercise the Trustee’s rights, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with
respect to the Manager under the related Loan Documents and Management Agreement, if any.


 


(c)         
The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment
allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution
Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall deliver
the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the holder of the Serviced
Companion Loan on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.


 


(d)         
The Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is secured by the interest
of the related Borrower under a ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest that is a space lease or an air rights
lease, such


 



    -263-


     


    

 


space lease or air rights lease), promptly (and in any event within 60 days) after the Closing Date notify the
related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and
inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest
that is a space lease or an air rights lease, the related space lease or air rights lease) should thereafter be forwarded to the
Master Servicer.


 


(e)         
The Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard and permitted by the related Loan Documents, not
apply any funds with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (whether arising in the form of a holdback, earnout reserve,
cash trap or other similar feature) to the prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan prior to an event of
default or reasonably foreseeable event of default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Prior to an event
of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default any such amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be
held by the Master Servicer as additional collateral for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.


 


Section 3.18     Authenticating Agent. The Certificate Administrator may appoint an Authenticating Agent to execute and to authenticate
Certificates. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or any state, having a principal office and place of business in a state and city
acceptable to the Depositor, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a
trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Certificate Administrator shall
serve as the initial Authenticating Agent.


 


Any
corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall be party, or any corporation succeeding
to the corporate agency business of the Authenticating Agent, shall be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.


 


The
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the
Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate
the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent, the Depositor and
the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time the Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.18, the Certificate Administrator
may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Depositor, and shall mail notice of such appointment
to all Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named
as Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section 3.18.


 






    -264-


     


    

 


The
Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Certificate
Administrator. Any compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be an unreimbursable expense of the Certificate Administrator,
as applicable.


 


Section 3.19     Appointment of Custodians. The Certificate Administrator shall be the initial Custodian hereunder. The Certificate Administrator
may appoint one or more additional Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files on behalf of the Trustee and otherwise
perform the duties set forth in Article II, by entering into a Custodial Agreement with any Custodian who is not the
Depositor. The Certificate Administrator agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms
and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall not
be liable for any act or omission of the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution
subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000, shall
have a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB” from Fitch and an equivalent rating by KBRA if rated by KBRA. Each
Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 12.08 of this Agreement. Any compensation paid to the
Custodian shall be an unreimbursable expense of the Certificate Administrator. If the Custodian is an entity other than the Certificate
Administrator, the Custodian shall maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar
to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement. The Custodian shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of
its Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends
to the Custodian. In addition, the Custodian shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance
covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations hereunder
in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement. All fidelity
bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.19 shall be issued by a Qualified
Insurer.


 


Section 3.20     Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts. The Master Servicer shall administer
each Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account, Escrow Account and Reserve Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or
Loan Agreement, Cash Collateral Account Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any
related Serviced Companion Loans it is servicing.


 


Section 3.21     Servicing Advances. (a) The Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.21(c) of this Agreement,
the Trustee) to the extent specifically provided for in this Agreement, shall make any Servicing Advances as and to the extent
otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion
Loans that it is servicing. For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and compensation to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee, Servicing Advances shall not be considered to increase the Stated Principal Balance of any such Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loans so provide. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under
this Agreement, but may make a Servicing Advance on an urgent or emergency basis in its discretion.


 






    -265-


     


    

 


(b)         
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer not less than
five Business Days’ written notice with respect to any Servicing Advance to be made on any Specially Serviced Loan, before
the date on which the Master Servicer is required to make such Servicing Advance with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan
or Serviced REO Loan; provided that the Special Servicer shall be required to provide the Master Servicer with only two
Business Days’ written notice in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which
may include, without limitation, Servicing Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). If the Master Servicer or the
Trustee makes a Servicing Advance with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan then it shall provide written notice to the related
Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such Servicing Advance with respect to such Serviced
Whole Loan as part of its monthly report following the making of such Servicing Advance.


 


(c)         
The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing promptly upon, and in any event within
one Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Servicing Advance required to be made pursuant to the
terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Servicing Advance, the Person to
whom it is to be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Servicing Advance, and shall set forth therein information and
instructions for the payment of such Servicing Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Servicing
Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five Business Days following such
notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such
Servicing Advance in accordance with such information and instructions.


 


(d)         
The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its
possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably
request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable
Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then
all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable.


 


Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if the Person otherwise required to make such
Servicing Advance determines that such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any Servicing Advance to the extent that it has received written notice
that the Special Servicer has determined that such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.
In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to (i) give due regard to the existence of any
Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the recovery of which, at
the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in light of
the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan (or the related Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable) are a source of recovery
not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance
or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement


 



    -266-


     


    

 


Amount which is being or may be deferred or delayed and (ii) consider (among other things)
the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (or the related Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable)
as it may have been modified, (iii) consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is”
or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard
in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with
respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (iv) estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) (among other things) future expenses, (v) estimate and consider (among other things)
the timing of recoveries and (vi) consider any non-recoverability determination of the Other Servicer or Other Trustee under the
Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to a P&I Advance for a Non-Serviced Companion Loan.


 


The
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior
Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advances were unreimbursed Servicing
Advances. If an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9-month period (and
the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal
pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal
does not, in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reflect current market
conditions, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward
adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may, subject to its
reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain
an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall
be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).


 


Any
determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be,
has made a Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any determination by the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall
be evidenced in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the
other, to the Trustee, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor,
the Certificate Administrator, any related Companion Loan Noteholder(s) and the Depositor and, in the case of the Trustee, by
a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the Depositor, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation
Termination Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Companion Loan holder(s),
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, which in each case sets forth such nonrecoverability determination and the considerations
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate
accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and
other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination,
together with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); provided that the Special Servicer may, at its option,
make a


 



    -267-


     


    

 


determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made
is nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (but only with
respect to a Specially Serviced Loan and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor, the Trustee,
the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice
to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), notice of such determination.
Any such determination may be relied upon by and shall be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be,
a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable
Advance, then all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer
makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that
any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.


 


Any
such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination
or prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance)
and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense
of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions
of the related Intercreditor Agreement), any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes.
Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on
the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.


 


The
Trustee, in determining whether or not a Servicing Advance previously made is, or a proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would
be, a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall use its reasonable judgment.


 


With
respect to the payment of insurance premiums and delinquent tax assessments, in the event that the Master Servicer determines
that a Servicing Advance of such amounts would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall deliver notice of
such determination to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Master
Servicer (with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan that is a Performing Loan) and the
Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property) shall determine (with the reasonable assistance
of the Master Servicer) whether the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the related Mortgaged Property and
(ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loans, the related
Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion
Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)). If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
determines that the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) would


 



    -268-


     


    

 



be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholder (and in the case of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such
Subordinate Companion Loan), the Special Servicer (in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer) shall direct the Master
Servicer in writing to make such payment and the Master Servicer shall make such payment, to the extent of available funds, from
amounts in the Collection Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, from amounts in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan
Collection Account.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.21, the Master Servicer may elect (but shall not be required) to
make a payment out of the Collection Account to pay for certain expenses specified in this sentence notwithstanding that the Master
Servicer 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 Serviced REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer
to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being
uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related
Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer
determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator) that making such expenditure is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the
case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders
and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan
with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)). The
Master Servicer may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust Fund in accordance with
Section 3.06 of this Agreement.


 


(e)         
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Servicing
Advances made by any of them to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, if applicable, together
with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Servicing Advances, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Trustee each hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Servicing Advances from
the related Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents.


 


The
parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the applicable Other Servicer is obligated
to make Servicing Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Other Servicer, the Other Special Servicer
(to the extent it has made an advance), the Other Trustee or fiscal agent or other Persons making advances under the applicable
Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be entitled to reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.06(b) of this
Agreement for the pro rata portion (based on Stated Principal Balance) of the related Mortgage Loan (after amounts allocated
to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, if any) with respect to any Servicing Advance that is nonrecoverable (with, in each
case, any pro rata portion of accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
in the manner set forth in the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable.


 






    -269-


     


    

 


With
respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, determines that a
proposed Servicing Advance with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding Servicing Advance with respect
to any such Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or Trustee,
as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and the Other Trustee under each related Other Pooling
and Servicing Agreement with written notice of such determination, together with supporting evidence for such determination within
two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Intercreditor Agreement.


 


Section 3.22     Appointment and Replacement of Special Servicer. (a) (i) KeyBank National Association is hereby appointed as the initial
Special Servicer to service each Specially Serviced Loan (other than the Equus Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan) and related REO
Property and (ii) Situs Holdings, LLC, is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service the Equus Industrial Portfolio
Whole Loan (upon such Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan) and related REO Property.


 


(b)         
For so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
obligations (subject to Section 3.05, Section 3.12 and Section 6.03(a) of this Agreement)
of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, and appoint a successor Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02
of this Agreement, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent,
the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee; provided that,
with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Directing Holder’s right to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special
Servicer under this Agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the related
Intercreditor Agreement; provided, further, that with respect to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the limitations
on termination without cause set forth in clause (b) shall not apply to the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder’s
right to terminate the Special Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without cause with respect to such
Servicing Shift Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The recommendation of replacement of
the Special Servicer by the Operating Advisor and the approval of the Certificateholders of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer
shall not be construed to preclude the Directing Holder from appointing a replacement special servicer, provided that such
replacement may not be the removed Special Servicer or its Affiliate.


 


(c)         
During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the Operating Advisor determines that (i) the Special Servicer is not
performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (ii) the
replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, then the Operating
Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and to the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written report
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 must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer);
provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene
any provision of this Agreement. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to each Certificateholder
of such


 



    -270-


     


    

 


recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and by mail (or through the DTC
system, as applicable), and shall conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates entitled to Voting Rights in such regard,
which requisite affirmative votes must be received within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice, and if
not so received, such votes shall be null and void ab initio. Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Principal
Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which, for this purpose,
is the Holders of Certificates that evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal
Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR
Interest on an aggregate basis) and (ii) receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to
the Certificates and, if such successor Special Servicer shall also specially service a Serviced Whole Loan, any related class
of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, by the Trustee following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee (upon
receipt of written confirmation from the Certificate Administrator, if the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are different
entities) shall (x) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint
such successor Special Servicer; provided that such termination is subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights
to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees and other compensation, reimbursement of advances and other rights set forth in
this Agreement which survive termination and (y) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of
such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with administering such vote shall be an Additional
Trust Fund Expense. If the Trustee does not receive the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the quorum described in clause
(i) of the preceding sentence within 180 days of after the notice is posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website,
then the Trustee shall not remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement
special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the
Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. In the event the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 3.22(c),
the Directing Holder shall not subsequently reappoint such terminated Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof. No penalty or
fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 3.22(c)


 


(d)         
If a Control Termination Event is continuing, upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and
the VRR Interest evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction
Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest pursuant to Section 4.08
of this Agreement) of the Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer
(other than with respect to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan) with a new special servicer designated in such written direction,
(b) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees
and expenses and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering
such vote and (c) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation
from each Rating Agency and a comparable confirmation from each NRSRO that has been engaged to rate any securities backed, in
whole or in part, by a Pari Passu Companion Loan with respect to the Certificates and, if such successor Special Servicer shall
also specially service a Serviced Whole Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the Certificate Administrator shall
promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by


 



    -271-


     


    

 


posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s
Website, and by mail (or through the DTC system, as applicable), and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in
such regard. Subsequently, if a Control Termination Event is continuing, upon the written direction of (i) Holders of Principal
Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum or (ii) Holders of Principal
Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced
Certificates on an aggregate basis, the Trustee shall (x) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer
under this Agreement and appoint the successor Special Servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated
by such Certificateholders (other than with respect to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan), provided that such termination
is subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees and other compensation,
reimbursement of advances and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination and (y) promptly notify
such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination; provided that if such written direction is not
provided within 180 days of the notice from the Certificate Administrator of the request for a vote to terminate and replace
the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs
associated with administering such vote shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Certificate Administrator shall include
on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may access notices on the Certificate
Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may register to receive email notifications when
such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall
be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Certificateholders’ direction to replace the Special Servicer shall not apply to any Serviced AB Whole
Loan unless a related Control Appraisal Period is continuing with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan under the related Intercreditor
Agreement. The related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan Noteholder shall have the right, other than during the continuance
of such related Control Appraisal Period to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan.


 


(e)         
The Trustee shall, promptly after receiving any removal notice pursuant to Section 3.22(b) of this Agreement or direction
to terminate pursuant to Section 3.22(c) or Section 3.22(d) of this Agreement, so notify the Certificate Administrator,
the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice
to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement). The termination
of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.22 shall not be
effective until (i) the Trustee receives from each Rating Agency a Rating Agency Confirmation and, if such successor Special
Servicer shall also specially service a Serviced Whole Loan, a Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, (ii) the
successor special servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder pursuant to a writing reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, (iii) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel 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 and (z) this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its
terms, (iv) the replacement Special Servicer certifies that such replacement special servicer satisfies all related qualifications
set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement relating to such Serviced Companion Loan and (v) receipt by the Certificate Administrator
(with a


 



    -272-

Special Servicer under Section 10.03 of this Agreement. Any successor Special Servicer shall make the representations
and warranties provided for in Section 2.04(b) of this Agreement mutatis mutandis. Further, such successor
Special Servicer shall be a Person that (i) satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to the special servicer
contained in this Agreement, (ii) is not the Operating Advisor or former operating advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
or former asset representations reviewer, or an affiliate of any of the foregoing, (iii) is not obligated or allowed to pay
the Operating Advisor any fees or otherwise compensate the Operating Advisor (x) in respect of its obligations under this
Agreement or (y) for the appointment of the successor Special Servicer or the recommendation by the Operating Advisor for
the replacement Special Servicer to become the Special Servicer, (iv) is not entitled to receive any compensation from the
Operating Advisor other than compensation that is not material and is unrelated to the Operating Advisor’s recommendation
that such party be appointed as the replacement special servicer, (v) is not entitled to receive any fee from the Operating
Advisor for its appointment as successor Special Servicer, in each case, unless expressly approved by 100% of the Certificateholders,
(vi) currently has a special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch, (vii)  is included on S&P’s
Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer and (viii) is not a special servicer that has been cited
by KBRA as having servicing concerns 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 a transaction
serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination. In addition, any replacement Special Servicer that will
service any Serviced Whole Loan shall meet any requirements specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if applicable,
the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The
existing Special Servicer shall be deemed to have been removed simultaneously with such designated Person’s becoming the
Special Servicer hereunder; provided that the Special Servicer removed pursuant to this Section shall be entitled
to receive, and shall have received, all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the effective date
of such resignation and it shall continue to be entitled to any rights that accrued prior to the date of such resignation (including
the right to receive all fees, expenses and other amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus the right to receive
any Workout Fee specified in Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement if the Special Servicer is terminated and any indemnification
rights that the Special Servicer is entitled to pursuant to Section 6.03(a) of this Agreement) notwithstanding any
such removal. Such removed Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and the replacement Special Servicer in effecting
the termination of the resigning Special Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation
the transfer within two Business Days to the successor Special Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that are
thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, Whole Loans.


 


(f)          
The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Trustee of their respective
obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the previous
special servicer shall be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. Any termination fee payable
to the terminated Special Servicer (and it is acknowledged that there is no such fee payable in the event of a termination for
breach of this Agreement) shall be paid by the Certificateholders or the Directing Holder, as applicable, so terminating the Special
Servicer and shall not in any


 



    -273-


     


    

 


event be an expense of the Trust Fund or any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (unless such Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholder is the Directing Holder).


 


(g)         
If a replacement special servicer is appointed with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan or any related Serviced REO Property in accordance
with this Section 3.22 such that there are multiple parties acting as Special Servicer hereunder, then, unless the
context clearly requires otherwise: (i) when used in the context of imposing duties and obligations on the Special Servicer
hereunder or the performance of such duties and obligations, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the applicable
Serviced Whole Loan Special Servicer, insofar as such duties and obligations relate to the subject Serviced Whole Loan or any
related Serviced REO Property, and shall mean the General Special Servicer (as defined below in clause (h)), in all other
cases (provided that in Section 3.14 and Article VII of this Agreement, the term “Special
Servicer” shall mean each of the Serviced Whole Loan Special Servicers and the General Special Servicer); (ii) when
used in the context of identifying the recipient of any information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items, the term
“Special Servicer” shall mean the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Special Servicer, insofar as such information, funds,
documents, instruments and/or other items relate to the subject Serviced Whole Loan or any related Serviced REO Property, and
shall mean the General Special Servicer, in all other cases; (iii) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer
the right to purchase Defaulted Loans pursuant to Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the term “Special Servicer”
shall mean the General Special Servicer only; (iv) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer the right to
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 of this
Agreement, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the General Special Servicer only; (v) when used in the context
of the Special Servicer being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.22 by the applicable Directing Holder, the term
“Special Servicer” shall mean the General Special Servicer or the Serviced Whole Loan Special Servicer, if applicable;
(vi) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer any protections, limitations on liability, immunities and/or
indemnities hereunder, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean each of the Serviced Whole Loan Special Servicers and
the General Special Servicer; and (vii) when used in the context of requiring indemnification from, imposing liability on,
or exercising any remedies against, the Special Servicer for any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or
for any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of duties and obligations hereunder or any negligent disregard
of such duties and obligations or otherwise holding the Special Servicer responsible for any of the foregoing, the term “Special
Servicer” shall mean the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Special Servicer or the General Special Servicer, as applicable.


 


(h)

obligations of special servicer with respect to the Mortgage Pool (exclusive of any Whole Loan or related REO Property as to which
a different Serviced Whole Loan Special Servicer has been appointed with respect thereto). For the avoidance of doubt, as of the
Closing Date, the General Special Servicer shall be KeyBank National Association.


 


(i)

(j)          
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.22, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer
Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall resign with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan.


 


In
the event the Special Servicer is required to resign as Special Servicer with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan because
it obtains knowledge that it is a Borrower Party other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, then (i)
if the Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder, the Trust Directing Holder
shall be entitled to appoint (and replace with or without cause) the Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning
Special Servicer, in accordance with this Agreement for the Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (ii) if the Excluded Special Servicer
Loan is also an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder, the largest Controlling Class Certificateholder (by Certificate
Balance) that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall be entitled to appoint (and replace with or without cause) the
Excluded Special Servicer for the Excluded Special Servicer Loan, and (iii) if there is no Controlling Class Certificateholder
that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to appoint
the Excluded Special Servicer for the Excluded Special Servicer Loan.


 


In
the event the Special Servicer is required to resign as Special Servicer with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan because
it obtains knowledge that it is a Borrower Party and either (i) a Consultation Termination Event is continuing or (ii) there is
no Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, then the resigning Special Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer for the Excluded Special Servicer Loan. The Special Servicer
shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect
to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



    -275-


     


    

 


Excluded Special Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.


 


(k)         
No removal or replacement of the Special Servicer as contemplated by this Agreement shall become effective until (i) a successor
Special Servicer shall have assumed the resigning or terminated Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities
and obligations hereunder, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09,
(iii) any other information required under Section 10.03 or Section 10.09 has been delivered to any
applicable Other Depositor with respect to any related Companion Loan, and (iv) as to any resignation, removal, succession,
merger or consolidation of the Special Servicer that would constitute a Reportable Event, upon at least 4 Business Days prior
notice of the anticipated effective date of such event, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall cooperate in a timely
manner with the Special Servicer or any other Person pursuing such resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation,
as applicable, in connection with the Depositor’s or the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to file any related
required Form 8-K relating to this Trust on the anticipated effective date of such event.


 


Section 3.23     Transfer of Servicing Between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Record Keeping; Asset Status Report. (a) Upon
the occurrence of any event specified in the definition of Specially Serviced Loan with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan
and any related Serviced Companion Loan of which the Master Servicer may have notice, the Master Servicer shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the related Mortgage
Loan Seller, if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder and, if applicable, the related Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders and shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to provide the Special Servicer with
the Servicing File and all other information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File)
and records (including records stored electronically) relating to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and
reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto without acting through
a sub-servicer. The Master Servicer shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to comply with the preceding sentence
within five Business Days of the date it has notice of the occurrence of any event specified in the definition of Specially Serviced
Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan,
until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, which shall occur upon the
receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. With respect
to each Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall instruct the related
Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to the Master Servicer. The
Master Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Borrower of a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special
Servicer, who shall send such notice to the related Borrower.


 


Upon
determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice
thereof to the Master Servicer, and upon giving such notice, such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall cease to be a Specially
Serviced Loan in accordance with the first proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced

Loan, the Special Servicer’s
obligation to service such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to
service and administer such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is a Performing
Loan shall resume.


 


(b)         
In servicing any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents included
within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (to the extent such documents
are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence
with the related Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Master Servicer
as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.


 


(c)         
Not later than two Business Days preceding each date on which the Master Servicer is required to furnish a report under Section 3.13(a)
of this Agreement to the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, with
a copy to the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Master Servicer, a written statement describing, on a loan by loan basis,
(i) the amount of all payments received on each Specially Serviced Loan, including Principal Prepayments, on each Specially
Serviced Loan, the amount of Net Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to each Specially Serviced
Loan, and with respect to REO Properties, the amount of net income or net loss, as determined from management of a trade or business
on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any rental income that does not
constitute Rents from Real Property with respect to the Serviced REO Property relating to each applicable Specially Serviced Loan,
in each case in accordance with Section 3.15 of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that to the extent
this information is provided in accordance with Section 3.13(g) of this Agreement, this Section 3.23(c)
shall be deemed to be satisfied) and (ii) such additional information relating to the Specially Serviced Loans as the Master
Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee reasonably request, to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.
Such statement and information shall be furnished to the Master Servicer in writing and/or in such electronic media as is acceptable
to the Master Servicer.


 


(d)         
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding Section 3.23(c), the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment
records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans relating to a Mortgage Loan that it is servicing and shall provide
the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer or the Operating
Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with any information
reasonably required by the Master Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.


 


(e)         
No later than 45 days after a Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan becomes a Specially
Serviced Loan (the “Initial Delivery Date”), the Special Servicer shall deliver a report (the “Asset
Status Report”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and the related Mortgaged Property. Subsequent
to the issuance of a Final Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall prepare one or more additional Asset Status Reports
with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan (each such report a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”) to the extent
that during the course of the resolution of such Specially Serviced Loan material changes in the strategy reflected in the initial
Final Asset Status Report (or


 



    -277-


     


    

 


subsequent Final Asset Status Reports) are necessary to reflect the then current circumstances and
recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance
with the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall deliver each Asset Status Report to the Master Servicer, the Directing
Holder (but (i) only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and (ii) not with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan),
the Risk Retention Consultation Party (but not with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), with respect to any related Serviced
Companion Loan, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master
servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold or to the holder of the related Serviced
Companion Loan, the Operating Advisor (but, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder, only
if a Control Termination Event is continuing), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such report to the 17g-5
Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), each related Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholder, and upon request, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers; provided that the Special Servicer shall
not be required to deliver an Asset Status Report to the Directing Holder if the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder are
the same entity. A summary of each Final Asset Status Report shall be provided to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee.
Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:


 


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


 


(ii)         
a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other

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


 


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


 


(v)

under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan;


 


(vi)

interest that is a space lease or an air rights lease, any such space lease or air rights lease) or franchise agreement;


 






    -278-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(ix)         
the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property (and a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of such Mortgaged Property) together

As
provided in Section 3.12(d), if any Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the related
Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and related
REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Property, shall be entitled to all Special
Servicing Compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan and shall have all the rights and obligations with respect
to such Serviced Whole Loan as Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan.


 


With
respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, if within
10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Holder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing,
or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval by the Directing
Holder (communicated to the Special Servicer within such 10-Business Day period) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders
(taken as a collective whole) (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the best interests of the Certificateholders and the
related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate
Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)), then the Special Servicer shall
implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided that such Special Servicer may not take
any action that is contrary to applicable law, this Agreement, the Servicing Standard (taking into consideration the best interests
of all the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as
a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single
lender) (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate
nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)), the terms of the applicable Loan Documents or any related Intercreditor Agreement.
For so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, if the Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within
such 10 Business Day period and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special


 



    -279-


     


    

 


Servicer
will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider
(who shall promptly post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d)
of this Agreement) and each related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but
in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described
above in this Section 3.23(e) until the Directing Holder fails to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing
within 10 Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval by the Directing Holder (communicated to the Special Servicer within
such 10-Business Day period) is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders (taken as a collective whole) (or, with
respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the best interests of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders
(as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single
lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate
nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)). In any event, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, if the Directing
Holder does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the
Special Servicer shall follow the Directing Holder’s direction, if such direction is consistent with the Servicing Standard;
provided, however, that if the Directing Holder’s direction would cause the Special Servicer to violate the Servicing Standard,
the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report if consistent with the Servicing Standard.
The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Holder Asset Status Report
Review Process”. Prior to a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Final Asset
Status Report to the Operating Advisor following the completion of the Directing Holder Asset Status Report Review Process.


 


The
Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor as to whether any Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor is
a Final Asset Status Report, which notification may be satisfied by (i) delivery of an Asset Status Report that is either signed
by the Directing Holder 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 Special Servicer
and the Operating Advisor.


 


The
Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report,
provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section, and in particular,
shall modify and resubmit such Asset Status Report to the Directing Holder (with a copy to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator)
if (i) the estimated sales proceeds, foreclosure proceeds, workout or restructure terms or anticipated debt forgiveness varies
materially from the amount on which the original report was based or (ii) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy
proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (i) may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event
with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, take any action set forth in such Asset Status Report before the expiration of
a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer has reasonably determined that failure to take such action would materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such


 



    -280-


     


    

 


Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders
constituted a single lender (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into
account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan)), and it has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing
Holder and, if any Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and (ii) in any case,
shall determine whether such affirmative disapproval is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders (taken 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))
and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such
Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender (and with respect to any
Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate
Companion Loan)) pursuant to the Servicing Standard, and, upon making such determination, shall implement the recommended action
outlined in the Asset Status Report. The Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any specific consent or approval
right which the Directing Holder may have. Any Asset Status Report delivered with respect to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan
shall be sent via email (or such other electronic means mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled
by the Special Servicer “Excluded Information” followed by the applicable loan number and loan name to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com.


 


The
Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Borrower for any Specially Serviced Loan and take such actions consistent
with the Servicing Standard and the related Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with
the related Asset Status Report, unless such action would be required in order to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
this Agreement, applicable law or the related Loan Documents.


 


While
a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection
with a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan applicable
to the Directing Holder and only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder). The Operating
Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of each Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business
Days following the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably
requested by the Operating Advisor and in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by, the Special Servicer 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 (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan
Noteholders, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu and/or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan, as applicable)).
The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action, if any, and any other feedback provided by the Operating
Advisor (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder and only for so
long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder) in connection with the Special Servicer’s
preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while a Control Termination Event is continuing. The Special


 



    -281-


     


    

 


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, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder and only for so long as
no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the
Operating Advisor’s and/or the Directing Holder’s input and/or recommendations are not inconsistent 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 subordinate or pari passu 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 Holder, the
Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder
the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued). The procedures described in this paragraph are
collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”.


 


During
the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan applicable to the
Directing Holder), the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.23.
During the continuance of a Control Termination Event but only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing,
the Directing Holder (except with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to consult
with the Special Servicer (on a non-binding basis) (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable
communication) and may propose alternative courses of action and provide such other feedback as the Operating Advisor determines
in respect of any Asset Status Report. During the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect
to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Directing Holder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right
to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the
Special Servicer shall only be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described
above. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the
Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder during
the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor
or the Directing Holder. The Special Servicer shall implement the Final Asset Status Report.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced AB Whole Loan, other than during the continuance of a related Control Appraisal Period,
the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, rather than the Trust Directing Holder, will have certain approval rights over any
related Asset Status Report.


 


In
addition, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such Asset Status Reports are subject to any non-binding consultation rights,
if any, that the holders of the related Pari Passu Companion Loans have pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


If
neither the Operating Advisor nor the Directing Holder proposes alternative courses of action within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.


 






    -282-


     


    

 


No
direction, advice, consent, approval or disapproval of the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation
Party shall (a) require, permit or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, any related Intercreditor
Agreement, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 3.09, Section 3.16,
Section 3.18 and Section 3.25 and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC and the grantor trust status
of the Grantor Trust, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “contribution”
tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Fund, the Certificate
Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents
to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Certificate Administrator’s,
Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be required
to follow any direction of the Directing Holder described in this paragraph.


 


(f)         
Unless a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor only each Final
Asset Status Report promptly following the approval or deemed approval of the Directing Holder.


 


Section 3.24     Special Instructions for the Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer. (a) Prior to taking any action with respect to a
Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan secured by Mortgaged Properties located in a “one-action” state, the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with legal counsel, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense
of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation
provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).


 


(b)         
The Master Servicer shall send written notice to each Borrower (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the
related Manager and clearing bank relating to a Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing that, if applicable, it and/or the
Trustee has been appointed as the “Designee” of the “Lender” under any related Lock-Box Agreement.


 


(c)         
Without limiting the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder with respect to the enforcement of a Borrower’s obligations
under the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer agrees that it shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce
the provisions of the Loan Documents relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loan that it is servicing with respect to the collection
of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges.


 


(d)         
If a Rating Agency shall charge a fee in connection with providing a Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall require
the related Borrower (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to pay such fee to the extent not inconsistent
with the applicable Loan Documents. If such fee remains unpaid, such fee shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (allocated as an
Additional Trust Fund Expense in the same manner as Realized Losses as set forth in Section 4.01(f) of this Agreement)
and, (1) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (but not a Subordinate Companion
Loan), allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the costs of which may be
advanced as a Servicing Advance.


 






    -283-


     


    

 


(e)         
The Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf
of the Trust any right of the Trust to recover any amounts owed by the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders to the Trust Fund pursuant
to the related Intercreditor Agreement (but in the case of any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, subject to Section 1.02).
The cost of such enforcement on behalf of the Trust shall be paid and reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.


 


(f)         
With respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or greater
than the lesser of 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans held by the Trust Fund and $35,000,000, or with respect
to any Mortgage Loan that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance, to the extent not inconsistent
with the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall not consent to a change of franchise affiliation
with respect to a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) serviced hereunder
or the property manager with respect to a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan) serviced hereunder unless the Master Servicer obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced
Companion Loan Securities, if any.


 


Section 3.25     Certain Rights and Obligations of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to take or refrain from taking any action
pursuant to instructions from the Directing Holder or a Non-Controlling Note Holder, or due to any failure to approve an action
by the Directing Holder, or due to any objection by the Directing Holder or a Non-Controlling Note Holder that would (i) cause
any one of them to violate applicable law, the terms of any Loan Documents, any Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement, including
the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC Provisions of the Code, (ii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor,
the Paying Agent, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities), or the Custodian or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (iii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or
the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, or (iv) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail
to act, in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.


 


(b)         
Upon request, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall discuss with the Directing Holder (for so long
as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Operating
Advisor, on a monthly basis, the performance of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan, which
is delinquent, has been placed on a “Watch List” or has been identified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
as exhibiting deteriorating performance.


 


Section 3.26     Modification, Waiver, Amendment and Consents. (a) Subject to Section 3.25, Section 3.26(f) and
Section 3.27, and, if applicable, each Intercreditor Agreement, (i) with respect to any Performing Loan and actions
that do not involve Special Servicer Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions, the Master Servicer, or (ii) (A) with
respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or (B) as to Special Servicer Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions
irrespective of whether the related Mortgage Loan is a Performing Loan, the Special Servicer, in each case subject to (x) the
rights of the Directing Holder and (y) with respect


 



    -284-


     


    

 


to a Serviced Whole Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, the rights of
the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loans, and, after consultation with the Operating Advisor (if a Control Termination
Event is continuing and to the extent the Operating Advisor has consultation rights pursuant to Section 3.23(e), Section 3.31
and Section 6.07 of this Agreement) and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (to the extent the Risk Retention
Consultation Party has consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.07 of this Agreement), may modify, waive, amend,
consent or take such other action with respect to any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan
if such modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action (A) is consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) would
not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process any of the foregoing
matters that are Special Servicer Major Decisions (other than a COVID Modification) or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions with
respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree
that the Master Servicer will process any Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision with respect
to a Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer as provided in
Section 3.26(m). Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel in
meeting this requirement. In order to meet the foregoing requirements, in the case of a release of real property collateral securing
a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall observe the REMIC requirements of the Code with
respect to a required payment of principal if the loan-to-value ratio immediately after the release exceeds 125% with respect
to the related real property collateral. In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged
Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property
by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Borrower of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining
Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged
Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, then
such calculation shall exclude the value of any personal property and going concern value, if any. If, following any such release
or taking, the loan-to-value ratio as so calculated is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall require payment of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor
provisions, unless the related Borrower provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan
will not fail to be a Qualified Mortgage.


 


Upon
receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision or a Special Servicer Major Decision
with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request
to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will
process such request, the Special Servicer will be required to process such request and the Master Servicer will have no further
obligation with respect to such request or the Special Servicer Non-Major Decision or Special Servicer Major Decision other than
providing the Special Servicer with any reasonably requested information or documentation. In addition, the Master


 



    -285-


     


    

 


Servicer shall
provide the Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the borrower under a ground lease where
the collateral for the Mortgage Loan is the ground lease, and the Special Servicer will determine in accordance with the Servicing
Standard whether to cure any borrower defaults relating to ground leases.


 


Subject
to Section 6.07, if a Borrower satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of “COVID Modification”,
the Special Servicer may enter into a COVID Modification with the related Borrower. In exchange for a fee as described below,
the Special Servicer shall be responsible for processing any COVID Modification and any related COVID Modification Agreement for
any COVID Modified Loan.


 


The
Borrowers may request payment forbearance because of COVID-19 related financial hardship. The Special Servicer shall be allowed
to grant a forbearance on a Mortgage Loan related to the global COVID-19 Emergency only if (i) prior to September 30, 2021, 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 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 the Revenue Procedure 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.


 


Any
fees or other charges charged by the Special Servicer in connection with processing any COVID Modification or related COVID Modification
Agreement with respect to any COVID Modified Loan (in the aggregate with any other COVID Modification or COVID Modification Agreement
with respect to such COVID Modified Loan) shall not exceed an amount equal to $45,000 (plus reasonable and customary attorney’s
fees and expenses, out of pocket third party fees and expenses and filing fees) and shall only be borne by the related Borrower,
not the Trust. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Borrower default under a COVID Modification Agreement, the fee cap
shall only apply to the initial processing of such COVID Modification Agreement, and, in such event, the Special Servicer shall
be entitled to all fees that would be payable to it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to further servicing
actions with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable.


 


(b)         
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may extend the Maturity Date of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or
Specially Serviced Loan beyond the date that is the date occurring later than the earlier of (1) five years prior to the Rated
Final Distribution Date, and (2) in the case of a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or Specially Serviced Loan secured solely
or primarily by the related Borrower’s interest in a ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest where the related
Borrower is the lessee and that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease), the date that
is 20 years prior to the expiration date of such ground lease (or, with respect to a leasehold interest where the related Borrower
is the lessee and that is a space lease or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease) (or 10 years prior to the
expiration date of such lease if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable gives due consideration to the remaining
term of such ground lease (or,


 



    -286-


     


    

 


with respect to a leasehold interest where the Borrower is the lessee and that is a space lease
or an air rights lease, such space lease or air rights lease) and such extension is in the best interest of the Certificateholders
and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders
and (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan) Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder constituted a single lender (and with respect to
any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate
Companion Loan)) and, (A) if no Control Termination Event is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Holder and (B) to the
extent such extension constitutes a Major Decision, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party pursuant to
Section 6.07).


 


(c)         
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit any Borrower to add or substitute any collateral for an outstanding
Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, which collateral constitutes real property, unless the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates
and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any.


 


(d)         
Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to any modification, waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for
purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders or, if applicable, Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or such modification, waiver or amendment so permit.


 


(e)         
Except for waivers of Penalty Charges and waivers of notice periods, all material modifications, waivers and amendments of the
Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with this Section 3.26 or Section 3.27
of this Agreement (with respect to Serviced Whole Loans) shall be in writing.


 


(f)         
The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Risk
Retention Consultation Party, the Directing Holder (other than if a Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Operating
Advisor (only if a Control Termination Event is continuing), the Depositor, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if
any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website
pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), in writing, of any modification, waiver, material consent or amendment
of any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan processed by such servicer and the date thereof,
and shall deliver to the Custodian for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating
to such modification, waiver, material consent or amendment, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) following the
execution thereof. With respect to the processing of any modification, waiver or consent related to any Borrower incurring Additional
Secured Debt, the Special Servicer (if the Special Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.26
or Section 3.09(b)) or the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent
pursuant to Section 3.26 or Section 3.09(b)) shall, on or before the later of (i) 3:00 p.m. on the related
Master Servicer Remittance Date and (ii) five (5) Business Days immediately following the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, obtaining actual knowledge of the incurrence of such Additional Secured Debt, deliver notice of the Borrower’s
incurrence of such debt, substantially


 



    -287-


     


    

 


in the form of Exhibit OO, to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com and an
Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit CC. The notice contemplated in the preceding
sentence shall set forth, to the extent the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as the case may be, has the requisite information
or can reasonably obtain such information, (1) the amount of Additional Secured Debt that was incurred in the related Collection
Period, (2) the total Debt Service Coverage Ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and Additional Secured Debt, and
(3) the aggregate loan-to-value ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and Additional Secured Debt. In the event
that either (i) the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package is amended to include such information set forth above, in
a manner reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and
the Master Servicer confirms with the Certificate Administrator that such amended CREFC® Investor Reporting Package
enables the Certificate Administrator to include such information on Form 10-D in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Certificate
Administrator, or (ii) the Trust is no longer subject to the Exchange Act, the additional report in the form of Exhibit OO
shall no longer be required hereunder.


 


(g)         
The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may (subject to the Servicing Standard), as a condition to granting any request by
a Borrower for consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion
pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and is permitted
by the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that such Borrower pay to it (i) as additional servicing compensation,
a reasonable and customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request (provided that the
charging of such fee would not constitute a “significant modification” of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole
Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)), and (ii) any related costs and expenses incurred
by it. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be entitled to payment for such fees or expenses unless such
payment is collected from the related Borrower.


 


(h)         
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (or any portion thereof), if any, unless such defeasance complies
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8) and satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 3.09(f) of
this Agreement.


 


(i)          
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Loan Documents to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution
of direct, non-callable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) (including U.S. government
agency securities if such securities are eligible defeasance collateral under then current guidelines of the Rating Agencies)
for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion
Loan (or any portion thereof) in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Loan Documents; provided that,
the Master Servicer reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default under the related
Loan Documents to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
Borrower to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents) to the effect that such use would not be and would


 



    -288-


     


    

 


not constitute a
“significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)
and would not otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event and provided that the requirements set forth in Section 3.09(f)
of this Agreement are satisfied.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule X that are subject to defeasance, the related
Mortgage Loan Seller has transferred to a third party or has retained on behalf of itself or an Affiliate the right to establish
or designate the successor borrower and/or to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (any such right
or obligation, the “Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the Master Servicer receives
notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan, which such Mortgage Loan provides for Retained Defeasance Rights
and Obligations in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of
such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as the related Mortgage
Loan Seller provides the Master Servicer with written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with
Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the related Mortgage Loan Seller at its address for notices set
forth in Section 12.05. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to defeasance, if the successor borrower
is not designated or formed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate or successor thereto, the successor borrower
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.


 


(j)          
If required under the related Loan Documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts, which may be sub-accounts of the Collection Account (the “Defeasance Accounts”),
into which all payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property
shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Loan Documents. Each Defeasance
Account shall at all times be an Eligible Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit
such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of 12 months, unless such amounts are reinvested
by the Master Servicer in “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii). To the extent not
required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance
collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the Serviced
Whole Loan Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable,
in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount, and not
as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event
shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved,
the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days.


 


(k)         
Any right to take any action, grant or withhold any consent or otherwise exercise any right, election or remedy afforded the Directing
Holder under this Agreement may, unless otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, be affirmatively waived by the Directing
Holder by written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master


 



    -289-


     


    

 


Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable. Upon delivery of any such notice of waiver given by the Directing Holder, any time period (exclusive or otherwise)
afforded the Directing Holder to exercise any such right, make any such election or grant or withhold any such consent shall thereupon
be deemed to have expired with the same force and effect as if the specific time period set forth in this Agreement applicable
thereto had itself expired. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder
or any advice from the Directing Holder would cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate applicable
law, the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, any related Intercreditor Agreements, the REMIC Provisions or the terms of this
Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall disregard such
refusal to consent or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information
Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) of its determination, including a reasonably
detailed explanation of the basis therefor.


 


(l)          
Any modification, waiver or amendment of, or consents or approvals relating to, a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is
a Specially Serviced Loan or Serviced REO Loan (i) shall be performed by the Special Servicer and not the Master Servicer,
(ii) to the extent provided in this Agreement and/or the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, shall be subject to the consent
of the related Directing Holder and (iii) shall be structured so as to be consistent with the allocation and payment priorities
in the related Loan Documents and Intercreditor Agreement, if any, such that neither the Trust as holder of the Mortgage Loan
nor a holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan gains a priority over the other such holder that is not reflected in the related
Loan Documents and Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into, or structure
(including, without limitation, by way of the application of credits, discounts, forgiveness or otherwise), any modification,
waiver, amendment, work-out, consent or approval with respect to any Mortgage Loan in a manner that would be inconsistent with
the allocation and payment priorities set forth in Section 1.02(f) hereof or in the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(m)         In addition, with respect to a Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer, prior to taking
action with respect to any Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (or making a determination not
to take action with respect to a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision), shall refer the request
to the Special Servicer, which shall process the request directly or, if mutually agreed to by the Special Servicer and the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall (subject to the consent of the Special Servicer) process such request. If the Master Servicer
processes such request and is recommending approval of such request, the Master Servicer shall prepare and submit its written
recommendation and analysis to the Special Servicer with all information in the Master Servicer’s possession that the Special
Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the Special Servicer shall be entitled
(subject to the consultation rights of the Operating Advisor and Risk Retention Consultation Party or the consent or consultation
rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver or amendment
that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision. When the Special Servicer’s consent
is required hereunder, such consent shall be deemed given 15 Business Days, or such longer time period pursuant to the terms of
the related Intercreditor Agreement but not less than five (5)


 



    -290-


     


    

 


Business Days after the time period set forth therein for Directing
Holder approval, (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 90 days) after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by
the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect
to such proposed Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision together with such other information reasonably
requested by the Special Servicer and reasonably available to the Master Servicer. Other than during the continuance of a Control
Termination Event, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision processed by the Master Servicer) nor the Special
Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision processed by the Special Servicer) will be permitted to take any action constituting
a Major Decision, as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within 10 Business Days (or, in connection with an
Acceptable Insurance Default, 30 days) after receipt by the Directing Holder of the Master Servicer’s and/or Special Servicer’s,
as applicable, written analysis and recommendation together with such other information reasonably requested by the Directing
Holder; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
within such 10-Business Day (or 30-day) period, the Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action.


 


(n)         
The Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the borrower
under a ground lease where the collateral for the Mortgage Loan includes the ground lease, and the Special Servicer will determine
in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether to cure any borrower defaults relating to ground leases.


 


(o)         
With respect to any Borrower request or other action on a non-Specially Serviced Loan that is not a Major Decision or a Special
Servicer Non-Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer
or the Directing Holder.


 


Section 3.27     Certain Intercreditor Matters Relating to the Whole Loans. (a) With respect to Serviced Whole Loans, except for those duties
to be performed by, and notices to be furnished by, the Trustee under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, shall perform such duties and furnish such notices, reports and information on behalf of the Trust Fund as may
be the obligation of the Trust, or the obligation of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, following securitization,
under the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(b)         
The Master Servicer shall maintain a register (the “Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register”) on which
the Master Servicer shall record the names and addresses of the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and wire transfer instructions
for such Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Master
Servicer by a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder. Each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder has agreed to inform the Master Servicer
of its name, address, taxpayer identification number and wiring instructions (to the extent the foregoing information is not already
contained in the related Intercreditor Agreement) and of any transfer thereof (together with any instruments of transfer). The
name and address of each initial Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule VII
hereto. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information delivered by any Serviced Companion Loan
Noteholder until it receives notice of transfer or of any change in information.


 






    -291-


     


    

 


In
no event shall the Master Servicer be obligated to pay any party the amounts payable to a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder
other than the Person listed as the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder on the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register.
In the event that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder transfers the related Serviced Companion Loan without notice to the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever for any misdirected payment on such Serviced Companion Loan and
shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.


 


The
Master Servicer shall promptly provide the names and addresses of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder to any party hereto,
any related Companion Loan Noteholder or any successor thereto upon written request, and any such party or successor may, without
further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Master Servicer shall have no liability to any Person for
the provision of any such names and addresses.


 


(c)         
The Directing Holder shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, any Certificateholder
(including the Directing Holder, if applicable) or any noteholder of a Serviced Whole Loan. The Directing Holder will not have
any liability to the Certificateholders (including the Directing Holder, if applicable) or any other noteholder of a Serviced
Whole Loan, as applicable, for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent,
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment.


 


(d)         
With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the consent rights, cure rights and
purchase rights, as applicable, to the extent set forth in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in accordance with the terms
of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.


 


(e)         
The Special Servicer (if any Serviced Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or has become a Serviced REO Loan) or the Master
Servicer (otherwise), as applicable, shall take all actions relating to the servicing and/or administration of, and (subject to
Section 3.13 and Section 3.17 of this Agreement and the following paragraph) the preparation and delivery
of reports and other information with respect to, the Serviced Whole Loan related to any Serviced Companion Loan or any related
Serviced REO Property required to be performed by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan or contemplated to be performed by a
servicer, in any case pursuant to and as required by each related Intercreditor Agreement and/or any related mezzanine intercreditor
agreement existing on the Closing Date and any related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement not existing
on the Closing Date that is provided to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the following considerations shall apply with respect to the servicing of a Serviced Companion Loan:


 


(i)          
none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance with respect to the Serviced Companion
Loan; and


 


(ii)         
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each consult with and obtain the consent of the related Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholder(s) to the extent required by the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 






    -292-


     


    

 


The
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall timely provide to each related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder any
reports or notices required to be delivered to such Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.
The Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with
the Special Servicer in preparing/delivering any such report or notice with respect to special servicing matters.


 


If
any Serviced Companion Loan or any portion thereof or any particular payments thereon are included in a REMIC or a “grantor
trust” (within the meaning of the Grantor Trust Provisions), then neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall
knowingly take any action that would result in the equivalent of an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to such REMIC or adversely
affect the tax status of such grantor trust as a grantor trust.


 


The
parties hereto acknowledge that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder shall not (1) owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder or (2) have any liability
to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the
related Intercreditor Agreement or the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance
of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (i) may take
or refrain from taking actions that favor its interests or the interests of its affiliates over the Certificateholders, (ii) may
have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of the Certificateholders and shall be deemed to have
agreed to take no action against a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals
or agents as a result of such special relationships or conflicts and (iii) shall not be liable by reason of its having acted
or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its affiliates.


 


The
parties hereto recognize and acknowledge the respective rights of each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder under the related Intercreditor
Agreement. Each of the rights of a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder under or contemplated by this Section 3.27(e)
may be exercisable by a designee thereof on its behalf; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator and the Trustee are provided with written notice by the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder of such designation
(upon which such party may conclusively rely) and the contact details of the designee.


 


Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, no direction or objection by the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder
may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan,
applicable law, this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Master Servicer’s
or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Paying Agent,
the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities) or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the
scope of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.


 






    -293-


     


    

 


Any
reference to servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with any of the related Loan Documents (including the related Mortgage
Note and Mortgage) shall also mean, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


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


 


For
purposes of exercising any rights that the Directing Holder of the Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Whole Loan
may have under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Directing Holder shall be the designee of the Trust, as such noteholder,
and the Trustee shall, upon request, take such actions as may be necessary under the related Intercreditor Agreement to effect
such designation. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Directing Holder (to the extent the
Certificate Administrator has received notice of a change in the identity of the Directing Holder), upon request, to the other
parties to the related Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent the identity and contact information of such parties to such Intercreditor
Agreement are actually known to the Certificate Administrator.


 


(f)         
With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver information comparable to the above described
information in Section 3.13(c) and Section 3.13(d) hereof to the same Persons as described above in Section 3.13(c)
and Section 3.13(d) and according to the same time frames as described above in Section 3.13(c) and
Section 3.13(d), to the extent such Master Servicer has timely received such information from the Other Servicer under
the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Promptly
following the Closing Date or, as applicable, upon the receipt of notice by the Certificate Administrator of the related Servicing
Shift Securitization Date, the Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (which notice may be by email) substantially
in the form of Exhibit EE hereto, accompanied by a copy of an executed version of this Agreement, with respect to
each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to each applicable Other Depositor, Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer, Other Trustee, Other
Operating Advisor and Other Asset Representations Reviewer stating that, as of the Closing Date, or, as applicable, the related
Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Trustee is the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing each
such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after each Determination Date all amounts payable
to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business
Day after each Determination Date all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded,
delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor
Agreement and Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such notice shall also provide contact information for the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Rating Agencies.


 


With
respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer or Other Trustee shall be replaced
in accordance with the terms of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, promptly upon notice thereof, the applicable
party


 



    -294-


     


    

 


to this Agreement that receives such notice shall, upon request, acknowledge such successor as the successor to the Other
Servicer, Other Special Servicer or Other Trustee, as the case may be.


 


With
respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, upon its receipt of written notice of the replacement of the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to each related Other Servicer,
Other Special Servicer, Other Trustee and Other Operating Advisor, together with relevant contact information of the successor
Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable.


 


With
respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide each Companion
Loan Noteholder and, if applicable, related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative), within the same time frame
and to the same extent it is required to provide such information and materials to the Certificateholders or the Directing Holder,
as applicable (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has lost any rights to receive such information
as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), hereunder with (1) copies of each financial statement received by the Master
Servicer pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents, (2) copies of any notice of default sent to the Borrower and (3)
subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, copies of any other documents or information relating to the Serviced Whole Loan (including,
without limitation, property inspection reports, loan servicing statements, Borrower requests and asset status reports) that the
Master Servicer delivers to the related Directing Holder and copies of any other notice, information or report that it is required
to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decision or with respect to any “major
decisions” or “major actions” as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any
recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to such Serviced Whole Loan. Any copies to be furnished by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may be furnished by hard copy or electronic means.


 


(g)         
With respect to each Whole Loan, if any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such
analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Other
Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such asset review
by providing the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by
the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party (not at its own expense or the expense of the Trust but
at the expense of the related mortgage loan seller, such Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party to
the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but only to the extent that (i) Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other
requesting party has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller or any party to the related
Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee or the Custodian (i) shall have any further obligations with respect to any such asset review nor shall any such party
be bound by the results of any such asset review, or (ii) shall be obligated to provide such documents if providing such documents,
in its reasonable determination, would be a violation of this Agreement or any related Intercreditor Agreement.


 






    -295-


     


    

 


(h)         
To the extent that the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Intercreditor Agreement relating to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan
permits the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to terminate the related Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer
or appoint a sub-servicer or replacement therefor, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of at least 25%
of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (or the Depositor with respect to any such right arising from such Other Servicer’s
or Other Special Servicer’s failure to comply with Exchange Act reporting obligations) upon five (5) Business Days’
notice, shall, exercise the right to terminate the related Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer or appoint a sub-servicer
or replacement therefor, as applicable.


 


(i)          
To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement
shall control.


 


Section 3.28     Directing Holder Contact with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall, not more frequently than once per month, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone
available during normal business hours to verbally answer questions from the Directing Holder (for so long as no Consultation
Termination Event is continuing) and the Operating Advisor regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or
REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.


 


Section 3.29     Controlling Class Certificateholders, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party; Certain Rights and
Powers of the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. (a) Each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner
of a Control Eligible Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial
ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Registrar and to notify the Certificate
Registrar of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate),
the selection of a Trust Directing Holder or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner)
or its designee at any time appointed Trust Directing Holder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Control
Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Control Eligible Certificate) to notify the Certificate Registrar
when such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or designee is appointed Trust Directing Holder and when it is removed or resigns.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, each Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholder of the identity of the Trust Directing Holder, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Certificate
Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate.


 


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


 


In
addition, upon the request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating
Advisor or, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, the Certificate Registrar shall
promptly


 



    -296-


     


    

 


(but no later than five (5) Business Days after such request) provide to the requesting party the identity of the then-current
Controlling Class and a list of the Holders of Certificates of the Controlling Class. However, if any Certificate of the Controlling
Class is a Global Certificate, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business
Days following such request) request from the Depository, with the assistance of the Trustee, the list of Depository Participants
for the Controlling Class and make reasonable efforts to obtain a list of Certificate Owners from such Depository Participants,
and the Certificate Administrator shall provide such list of Depository Participants and such list of Certificate Owners (to the
extent the Certificate Administrator obtains such list of Certificate Owners), to the requesting party promptly upon receipt.
The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the list of Depository Participants for the Controlling
Class provided by the Depository and the list of Certificate Owners provided by any Depository Participant and shall not have
any liability for such reliance; provided that, if any Certificate of the Controlling Class is a Global Certificate and
the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge of the identity of the related Certificate Owner(s), then the Certificate Administrator
shall include such Certificate Owner in the list provided to any requesting party pursuant to first sentence of this paragraph.
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on any such information so provided. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the
expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which the Directing
Holder has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party
pursuant to this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating
Advisor in connection with its obligation under this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the
Directing Holder and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Directing Holder or reasonably
believes that the identity of the Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust.


 


To
the extent the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any change in the identity of a Holder (or Certificate Owner(s)) of the
Controlling Class, then the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Special Servicer thereof, who may rely conclusively on such notice from the Master
Servicer.


 


(b)         
The initial Trust Directing Holder on the Closing Date shall be ECMBS LLC. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to assume
ECMBS LLC, or any subsequent Trust Directing Holder selected in accordance with this Agreement and notified to the Certificate
Registrar thereof in writing, is the Trust Directing Holder appointed by the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of each Class of Control
Eligible Certificates, until the Certificate Registrar receives (i) written notice of a replacement Trust Directing Holder from
a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders by Certificate Balance, (ii) written notice from a majority of the
Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, that a Trust Directing Holder is no longer designated, (iii) written
notice from a Trust Directing Holder of the resignation of such Trust Directing Holder, or (iv) written notice that the Holder
(or Certificate Owner) of a majority of the applicable Class of Control Eligible Certificates is no longer the Holder (or Certificate
Owner) of a majority of the applicable Class of Control Eligible Certificates due to a transfer of those Certificates (or a beneficial
ownership interest in those Certificates). Upon the resignation


 



    -297-


     


    

 


of a Trust Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator shall
request the Controlling Class Certificateholders to select a new Trust Directing Holder.


 


In
the event either (y) the Certificate Registrar receives notice identified in any of clause (ii) through (iv) of
the immediately preceding paragraph and no successor Trust Directing Holder is then identified to the Certificate Registrar or
(z) a party to this Agreement requests from the Certificate Administrator the identity of the Trust Directing Holder and such
identity is not known to the Certificate Administrator, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly deliver a notice of
such event (the “Initial Notice”) to all the Certificateholders via the Depository (and a copy of such Initial
Notice shall be simultaneously sent to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor),
which notice shall include a request that the Controlling Class Certificateholder that believes it may own the largest aggregate
Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class represent in writing to the Certificate Administrator that it owns the largest aggregate
Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (with evidence of its ownership) and provide its contact information. Upon receipt
of such written representation (and any subsequent written representation), the Certificate Administrator shall deliver a notice
(the “Subsequent Notice”) to all the Certificateholders via the Depository of such representation (and a copy
of such Subsequent Notice shall be simultaneously sent to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the
Operating Advisor) and so long as another party holding an equal or larger aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class
does not provide a written representation within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of the latest Subsequent Notice, the
party making the original assertion shall become the Controlling Class Certificateholder until replaced by another party
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) providing
notice that it (or they) are the Holders of a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance,
shall have the right to select the Directing Holder at any time without regard to such 30-day period, and a Trust Directing Holder
selected by the Holders of a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, shall be recognized
as such immediately upon being selected in accordance with this Agreement whether or not such 30-day period has expired.


 


In
the event that a Trust Directing Holder is selected pursuant to this Section 3.29(b) or there is deemed to be no Trust
Directing Holder pursuant to this Section 3.29(b), the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Special Servicer, the
Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the
Trustee of the identity of the new Trust Directing Holder or the absence of a Trust Directing Holder, as applicable.


 


At
any time more than 50% of the Percentage Interest of the Controlling Class Certificateholders direct the Certificate Administrator
in writing to hold an election for a Trust Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator shall hold such election as soon as
practicable at the expense of such requesting Certificateholders.


 


(c)         
The Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to request
that the Certificate Administrator provide, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business
Days after such request) provide (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the identity of the Directing
Holder, including names and contact information and, to the extent reasonably available, a list of Controlling Class Certificateholders
and (ii) confirmation as to


 



    -298-


     


    

 


whether a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred in the 12 months
preceding any such request or any other period specified in such request. In addition to the foregoing, (i) within two (2) Business
Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Holder or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder
or (ii) within ten (10) days of the commencement or cessation of any Consultation Termination Event or Control Termination Event,
the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer and post notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Any expenses incurred in connection
with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise in connection
with an event as to which the Directing Holder has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by,
or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement or the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under this Agreement to deliver a
copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Directing Holder and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the
identity of the Directing Holder or reasonably believes that the identity of the Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses
shall be at the expense of the Trust.


 


The
Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer and the Trustee shall be entitled to assume ECMBS LLC is the Trust Directing Holder appointed by the Holder (or Certificate
Owner) of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates until such party receives notice to the contrary. At any time that a party
to this Agreement receives notice of the selection of a Trust Directing Holder from the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate
Administrator or a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, then such party to this Agreement
shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder
and the Trust Directing Holder. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with any entity
appointed as a successor Directing Holder until the Special Servicer receives written notice of such successor Directing Holder’s
identity and contact information.


 


Additionally,
once a successor Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable)
shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Holders of the VRR Interest entitled to appoint the Risk Retention Consultation
Party, by Certificate Balance, or the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Holder of the VRR Interest, in writing, of the
selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.


 


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


 


(e)         
Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Directing Holder may have
special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates or Companion Loan
Noteholders; (ii) the Directing Holder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class (or,


 



    -299-


     


    

 


in the
case of a Whole Loan, in the interests of one or more Companion Loan Noteholders); (iii) the Directing Holder does not have
any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class (in the case of the Trust
Directing Holder); (iv) the Directing Holder may take actions that favor the interests of the Directing Holder or one or
more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class (or, in the case of a Whole Loan, one or more
Companion Loan Noteholders) over the interests of the Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates and other Companion Loan
Noteholders; and (v) the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to any Certificateholder (other than to a Controlling
Class Certificateholder (in the case of the Trust Directing Holder)), the Trust, any Companion Loan Noteholder any party hereto
or any other Person (including any Borrower under a Mortgage Loan) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)
through (iv) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder (other than a Controlling Class Certificateholder in the case
of the Trust Directing Holder) or Companion Loan Noteholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any
director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.


 


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


 


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


 


(g)         
At any time when the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Holder of more than 50%
of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Balance) may waive its right to act as, or appoint a representative to act
as, the Directing Holder and to exercise any of the rights of the Directing Holder or cause the exercise of any of the rights
of the Directing Holder by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Certificate Registrar,
Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer. Any such waiver shall remain
effective with respect to such Holder and the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates until such time as that Certificateholder
has (i) sold a majority of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates (by Certificate Balance) to an unaffiliated
third party and (ii) certified to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Certificate Registrar, Trustee, Master Servicer,
Special Servicer, Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, that (a) the transferor retains no direct or indirect
voting rights with respect to the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates that it does not


 



    -300-


     


    

 


own, (b) there is no
voting agreement between the transferee and the transferor and (c) the transferor retains no direct or indirect controlling
interest in the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates. During such waiver period a Consultation Termination Event
shall be deemed to exist and the rights of the Controlling Class to appoint a Directing Holder and the rights of the Directing
Holder shall not be operative (notwithstanding whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is or would
otherwise then be in effect). Following any transfer of more than 50% of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates,
the successor Holder of more than 50% of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates, if the most senior Class of Control
Eligible Certificates is the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) shall again have the right to act as, or appoint a representative
to act as, the Directing Holder without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. The successor Certificateholder
shall also have the right to irrevocably waive its right to act as or appoint a Directing Holder or to exercise any of the rights
of the Directing Holder or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Directing Holder. No successor Certificateholder described
above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to its acquisition
of a majority of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates that had not also become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior
to such acquisition until such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.


 


(h)         
The Directing Holder 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 Holder or, except in the case of any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, or, for so long as no related
Control Appraisal Period is continuing, any related Serviced AB Mortgage Loan, the Holder of the majority of the Controlling Class.
Likewise, the Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined
to be an Excluded Loan as to the Risk Retention Consultation Party. In the case of an Excluded Loan relating to the Directing
Holder, in respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event
shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.


 


(i)          
At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the Holder of a majority of the Class F Certificates and the Class
F Certificates are the Controlling Class, it may waive its right (a) to appoint the Directing Holder and (b) to exercise any of
the Directing Holder’s rights set forth in this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate
Administrator, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor. During such time, the Special Servicer shall consult with
only the Operating Advisor in connection with Asset Status Reports and material special servicing actions to the extent set forth
in this Agreement, and no Controlling Class Certificateholder will be recognized or have any right to replace the Special Servicer
or approve or be consulted with respect to Asset Status Reports or material special servicer actions. Any such waiver will remain
effective until such time as the Controlling Class Certificateholder sells or transfers all or a portion of its interest in the
Certificates to an unaffiliated third party if such unaffiliated third party then holds the majority of the Controlling Class
after giving effect to such transfer. Following any such sale or transfer of the Class F Certificates, the successor Class F Certificateholder
that is the Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be reinstated as, and will again have the rights of, the Controlling Class
Certificateholder without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder that was the Controlling Class Certificateholder.
The successor Class F Certificateholder that is the Controlling Class


 



    -301-


     


    

 


 Certificateholder shall also have the right to irrevocably
waive its right to appoint the Directing Holder and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder.
In the event of any transfer of the Class F Certificates by a Controlling Class Certificateholder that had irrevocably waived
its rights as described in this subsection (i), the successor Controlling Class Certificateholder that purchased such Class
F Certificates, even if it does not waive its rights as described in the preceding sentence, shall not have any consent rights
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to such successor Controlling Class Certificateholder’s
purchase of Class F Certificates and had not become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior to such purchase until such Mortgage Loan
becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.


 


Section 3.30     Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement,
if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such
action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting and/or required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation
from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 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 Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct
communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating
Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation
again (which may also be through direct communication). The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to
in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating
Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such 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 3.14.


 


If
there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within 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 Loan Document requiring
such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall
be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested
the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (y) with respect to a replacement of
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if
(i) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the
master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) it
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 and


 



    -302-


     


    

 


(iii) KBRA has not cited servicing concerns of
the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in any qualification,
downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or
withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement
master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency.


 


Any
Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable,
pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating
Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such
written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5
Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.14(d)
of this Agreement.


 


Promptly
following the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.30(a)
following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not
exist), the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information
Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such notice on
the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement.


 


(b)         
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.30, for purposes of the provisions of any Loan Document
relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral), release
or substitution of any collateral, in the event of a RAC No-Response Scenario, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the
Loan Documents with respect to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been required to make the determination
described in Section 3.30(a) (as a result of such RAC No-Response Scenario) shall be deemed not to apply regardless
of any such determination by the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Borrower, the Master Servicer (with
respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced REO Loans), as applicable);
provided that the Requesting Party (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) shall in any event review
the other conditions required under the related Loan Documents with respect to such defeasance, release or substitution and confirm
to its satisfaction in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency
Confirmation) have been satisfied.


 


(c)         
For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 3.30(a) above, the applicable Requesting Party
shall deliver a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.


 


(d)         
Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Intercreditor
Agreement, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan as to which there exists Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any action
relating to the servicing and administration of the related Whole Loan or any related REO


 



    -303-


     


    

 


Property (the “Relevant Action”)
requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except
as set forth below in this paragraph, such action shall also require delivery of a Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation
as a condition precedent to such action from each related Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Serviced Companion Loan
Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such
party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain
a Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities will be subject to,
will be permitted to be waived by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same
terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided that
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Serviced Companion Loan Rating
Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterparts (i.e., the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as
applicable), the Other 17g-5 Information Provider, or such other party or parties as are agreed to by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization, at the expense of the Other
Securitization to the extent not borne by the related Borrower, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably
agree, (i) the request for such Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, (ii) all materials forwarded to the 17g-5
Information Provider under this Agreement in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant
Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider and (iii) any other
materials that the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Serviced Companion
Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following receipt of such request from the Other Trustee.


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall, promptly following receipt of written request from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, provide to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the contact information for the Other Servicer,
the Other Special Servicer, the Other Trustee and the Other 17g-5 Information Provider for the Other Securitization, solely to
the extent in its possession.


 


Section 3.31     Appointment and Duties of the Operating Advisor.


 


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


 


In
addition and for the avoidance of doubt, although the Operating Advisor may have certain consultation duties with the Master Servicer
with respect to certain Major Decisions processed by the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or responsibility
at any time to review or assess the actions of the Master Servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating
Advisor will not be required to consider such Master Servicer actions in connection with any Operating Advisor Annual Report.


 






    -304-


     


    

 


(b)         
The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged
Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing Holder in connection with the Directing Holder’s exercise
of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in
connection with this transaction, except under the circumstances described in Section 3.31(i) and subject to any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and
conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received
from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations
hereunder.


 


(c)         
During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance,
any attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communication between the Directing Holder and
the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer or made
available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year,
including each Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall
(if any Serviced Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan) deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall
promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 4.02(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 3.14(d)) 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 BB (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), and setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its
duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on an Asset-Level Basis with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation
of any Specially Serviced Loans that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement; provided,
however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the
entity that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through
the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a
separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to the Excluded Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) serviced
by such Excluded Special Servicer. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall
(A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the Special Servicer
is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan) based on the limited review required in this Agreement and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described
in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). In preparing the Operating Advisor


 



    -305-


     


    

 


Annual
Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to (A) report on any instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from,
the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines,
in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, to be immaterial or (B) provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or
legal conclusion. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which
shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section
4.02(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 3.14(d)); provided, however, that the Special Servicer
shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Operating
Advisor Annual Report’s delivery to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The
Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the
Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor
with respect to the Special Servicer, if during the prior calendar year, no Final Asset Status Report was prepared by the Special
Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property.


 


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 and prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of
any information it is provided. If the Operating Advisor is prohibited or materially limited from obtaining Privileged Information
and such prohibition or limitation prevents the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating
Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to such Privileged Information.


 


(d)         
Other than during continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount
and net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection
with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized.
The Operating Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not opine on or 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 mathematical error contained in such calculations, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer and the Directing
Holder of such error).


 


(e)         
During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, after the calculation has been finalized but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of
any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(i)),
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 and


 



    -306-


     


    

 


in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to confirm
the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information) to the Operating Advisor promptly,
but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly,
but no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate
and review for accuracy and consistency with this Agreement 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.


 


(i)         
In connection with this Section 3.31(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations
of the Appraisal Reduction Amount 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, 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 Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer
and provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction
Amount that is in the Special Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable at no additional cost by the Special Servicer.
In the event the Operating Advisor and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and determine which calculation
is to apply (and shall provide prompt written notice of such determination to the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer, as applicable). In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third party
to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such third party’s
determination (provided such third party has been selected with reasonable care by the Certificate Administrator).


 


(f)         
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present
value calculations as required above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation shall not take into account the reasonableness
of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, property and borrower performance assumptions or other
similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation or Appraisal Reduction calculation.


 


(g)         
Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor’s review shall be limited
to an after-the-action review of the reports and material described above (together with any additional information and material
reviewed by the Operating Advisor), and, therefore, it shall have no involvement with respect to the determination and execution
of Major Decisions and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement and shall have no obligations
at any time with respect to any Non-Serviced


 



    -307-


     


    

 


Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Operating Advisor’s review of the net present
value 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.


 


(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 4.02(c) of this Agreement.


 


(i)          
The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information”
confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and either the Directing Holder (with respect
to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan and for so long as no Consultation
Termination Event is continuing) or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced
Whole Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan), as applicable, disclose such labeled Privileged Information to any Person (including
Certificateholders other than the Directing Holder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement, to the
other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (2) pursuant to a Privileged
Information Exception or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations
from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating
Advisor to replace the Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating
Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to
any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event is continuing, the
Directing Holder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan) other
than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to
share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound
by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement
related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder. In addition
and for the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations
that involve the same parties or borrower involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the employees performing operating
advisor functions for such other securitizations shall not be imputed to employees of the Operating Advisor involved in this securitization.


 


(j)          
On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Operating Advisor shall be paid the applicable Operating Advisor Fee from amounts
on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, as applicable. 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 rights. Each of the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds
on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement, but with respect to the Operating
Advisor


 



    -308-


     


    

 


 Consulting Fee only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Borrower.
When the Operating Advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Special Servicer
processing the Major Decision shall use efforts to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Borrower
in connection with such Major Decision that are consistent with the efforts that the Special Servicer would use to collect any
borrower-paid fees not specified in the related loan documents owed to it in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but only
to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents. The Special Servicer may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating
Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Borrower if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection
of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Special Servicer shall consult
on a non-binding basis with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.


 


(k)         
The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with
such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the
Operating Advisor shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any actions required to be performed 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.


 


(l)          
In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the VRR Interest,
the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this
Agreement will terminate without payment of any penalty or 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). If the Operating Advisor is terminated pursuant to this Section 3.31(l),
then no replacement 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 3.31(l).
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to request that the Certificate Administrator provide, and the
Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days after such request) provide, confirmation of
whether a termination pursuant to this Section 3.31(l) has occurred.


 


Section 3.32     Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator.


 


(a)         
Any Excluded Information that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor identifies and delivers to the
Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator
via e-mail (or such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded
Information” followed by the applicable loan name and loan file to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com. For the
avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.32
shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any information


 



    -309-


     


    

 


appropriately labeled and delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be posted on the Certificate
Administrator’s Website under the “Excluded Information” section, as provided under Section 4.02(b).
When so posted, Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to
any Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless 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)). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations
to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.32 until such party has
received notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit L-1E to this Agreement.
Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Directing Holder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving,
requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing
Holder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available
on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not
a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to obtain such information upon
reasonable request in accordance with Section 3.14(c) and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable,
may require and rely on such certifications prior to releasing any such information.


 


Section 3.33     Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.


 


(a)         
If a Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Seller”) repurchases, or substitutes for,
the Note(s) (a “Repurchased Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the
other Mortgage Loan Seller(s) of such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase, or substitute for, the Note(s) related to such
Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.33 shall apply prior to the adoption,
pursuant to Section 12.08, 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 3.33 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one
or more of the Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased or, by way of substitution, otherwise removed from
the Trust and at least one other Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the
Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 3.33 and
Section 12.08 only, “Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory
note and all allonges that collectively represents the Note with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective
reference to such promissory notes.


 


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


 


(i)          
All of the Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority
or preference over any other portion of the other Notes or security therefor. Payments from the related Borrower (including, without
limitation, any late fees) or any other amounts received with respect to each Note


 



    -310-


     


    

 


shall be collected as provided in this Agreement
by the Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Note based on
its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.33(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received
with respect to the related Repurchased Note shall be held for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller and remitted
(net of its pro rata share of any Master Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Operating Advisor Fees and any other amounts
due to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Seller or its designee by the Master Servicer
on each Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Seller and deposited and applied in
accordance with this Agreement, subject to (ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies
becomes REO Loans, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and
shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Note based on its respective Repurchased Percentage
Interest, subject to Section 3.33(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage
Loan subject to this Section 3.33 shall be allocated to each related Note pro rata based upon the respective
Stated Principal Balances thereof.


 


(ii)         
If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount
due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall receive from the Master
Servicer an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses
and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable
Advances, interest on Advances, Operating Advisor expenses, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including
any such fees related to the applicable Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Notes pro rata based
upon the respective Stated Principal Balances thereof. In no event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related
to any Mortgage Loan or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan be deducted from payments or any other
amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable Repurchasing Seller. For purposes of (i),
this (ii) and Section 3.33(g), “Repurchased Percentage Interest” shall mean the percentage
interest of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan.


 


(iii)         
A Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies shall be serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing
Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard
and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Whole Loan, (B) the related Note(s)
not repurchased were (1) a Mortgage Loan serviced pursuant to this Agreement and (2) the only Mortgage Loan that is part of such
Joint Mortgage Loan, and (C) the related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. No Repurchasing Seller shall be permitted
to terminate the Master Servicer, the 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable
Repurchasing Seller in accordance with this Agreement.


 






    -311-


     


    

 


(iv)         
The related Repurchasing Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder on a pari passu
basis. Funds collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Notes
shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders. Compensation
shall be paid to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with respect to each Repurchased Note as
provided in this Agreement as if each such Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Master Servicer, the 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 Note is part of the Trust, an Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as
otherwise specified herein, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with respect to any
Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Seller any document as is required to be delivered to a Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder.


 


(c)         
If any non-repurchased Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33 applies is considered a Specially
Serviced Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially Serviced Loan under this Agreement. The Special Servicer
shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller in accordance
with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee or Liquidation
Fee payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan.


 


(d)         
If (A) the Master Servicer shall pay any amount to any Repurchasing Seller pursuant to the terms hereof in the belief or expectation
that a related payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection with either or both of the applicable Notes
and (B) such related payment is not received or collected by the Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall
promptly on demand by the Master Servicer return such amount to the Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines at any
time that any amount received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any Joint Mortgage Loans to which this Section 3.33
applies must be returned to the related Borrower or paid to any other person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof
to the related Repurchasing Seller, and such Repurchasing Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer repay (which
obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that the Master Servicer shall have distributed
to such Repurchasing Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Master Servicer may pay to the related
Borrower or such other person or entity with respect thereto.


 


(e)         
Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Holder and any
consultation rights of the Operating Advisor), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders
of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all decisions
and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable Loan Documents as provided hereunder.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may agree
to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and principal of, capitalize


 



    -312-


     


    

 


interest on, permit
the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related Borrower on or any guarantor
of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 3.33, without
the consent of the related Repurchasing Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced
Companion Loan.


 


(f)         
In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be
subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.33
applies as is consistent with this Agreement; and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Seller only to the same extent as set
forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan.


 


(g)         
If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made an Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note which would
otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall reimburse the Trust in an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased
Percentage Interest of such Nonrecoverable Advance with interest thereon; provided that, if the Repurchasing Seller does
not reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the

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

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


 


(i)          
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement,
exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Seller as a holder
of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements
and other documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document related
to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, any and all modifications, waivers,
amendments or consents to or with respect to the related Joint Mortgage Loan documents, and any and all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the related Repurchased
Note or related Repurchased Notes and the related Mortgaged Property all in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this

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

Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.05(i) of this Agreement) in the case of all Classes of Lower-Tier
Regular Interests (such amount, the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”). On each Distribution Date, distributions
in respect of principal shall be deemed to have been made on each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests in an amount equal to

of this Agreement. As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Lower-Tier Principal
Balance thereof. On each Distribution Date, distributions of interest made in respect of any Class of Non-VRR Certificates (excluding
the Class S Certificates) or the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(c)
or Section 9.01 of this Agreement shall be deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to
the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of its Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this

On
each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall apply amounts related to each Prepayment Premium and Yield Maintenance

The
Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to deposit the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Premiums
and any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed to the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) into the Upper-Tier
Distribution Account. Any amount in respect of the Mortgage Pool that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, on each Distribution Date occurring on and after the Crossover Date, regardless of the allocation of principal

pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii) to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4
and Class A-5 Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Balances, in reduction of their respective
Certificate Balances, until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero, and without regard
to the Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance.


 


(c)         
Distributions of VRR Available Funds. On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account the amounts on deposit therein, to the extent of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution
Date, and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the VRR Interest in accordance with this section (c).


 


On
each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall apply the then applicable VRR Available Funds for such Distribution
Date to make distributions to the Holders of the VRR Interest for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:


 


(i)            first,
to the VRR Interest, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the VRR Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution
Date;


 


(ii)           second,
to the VRR Interest, in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof, up to an amount equal to the VRR Principal Distribution

VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the VRR Interest, plus interest in an amount equal to the VRR Realized Loss Interest
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;


 


provided
that, with respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent that VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date exceeds the
distributions to the Holders of the VRR Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i)
through (iii), the Certificate Administrator shall distribute such excess to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.


 


(d)          Distributions
of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges. On each Distribution Date, following the distribution from the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a) of
this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall make distributions of any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance
Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period from amounts deposited in the Upper-Tier
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(f) of this Agreement, as follows:


 


On
any Distribution Date, any Non-VRR Percentage of the Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges collected on the Mortgage
Loans during the related Collection

 



    -319-


     


    

  


Period (such portion of such Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges, the “Non-VRR
Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges”) shall be distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class
A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates in an amount equal to, in the case of
each such Class, the product of (a) a fraction, not greater than one, the numerator of which is the amount distributed
as principal to such Class on such Distribution Date, and whose denominator is the total amount distributed as principal to the
Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment
and such Class of Certificates and (c) the amount of such Non-VRR Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges.


 


Any
Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums collected on the Mortgage Loans collected during the related Collection Period
and remaining after such distributions described in the preceding paragraph (the “IO Group YM Distribution Amount”)
shall be allocated and distributed in the following manner:


 


(i)          
to the Class X-A Certificates, in an amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate
amount of principal distributed on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and
Class A-M Certificates on such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the total Principal Distribution amount
in respect of such Distribution Date, multiplied by (b) the IO Group YM Distribution Amount;


 


(ii)         
to the Class X-B Certificates, in an amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate
amount of principal distributed to the Class B and Class C Certificates on such Distribution Date and the denominator of
which is the total Principal Distribution Amount in respect of such Distribution Date, multiplied by (b) the IO Group YM Distribution
Amount; and


 


(iii)        
to the Class X-D Certificates, the IO Group YM Distribution Amount remaining after such distribution to the holders of the
Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates as described in (i) and (ii) above.


 


On
each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account that represent the VRR Percentage of such Prepayment
Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period shall be distributed
by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the VRR Interest.


 


(e)         
Gain-on-Sale Accounts. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if the Available
Funds for such Distribution Date (determined without regard to the inclusion of any Gain-on-Sale Proceeds therein) would be sufficient
to pay all interest and principal due and owing to reimburse all previously allocated Realized Losses reimbursable to the Holders
of the Non-VRR Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b). If the Certificate Administrator
determines that such Available Funds (as so determined) would not be sufficient to make such payments and reimbursements, then
the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (or sub-account thereof) and shall deposit
in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date an amount (to be included in the Aggregate
Available Funds for the related Distribution Date for allocation between the VRR Interest and the Non-VRR Certificates)


 



    -320-


     


    

 


equal
to the lesser of (i) the amounts then on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and (ii) the sum of (A) the amount of
the applicable insufficiency and (B) the VRR Allocation Percentage of the amount described in the immediately preceding clause
(A).


 


Any
amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions on any Distribution Date that (A) are allocable
to the Mortgage Loans shall be held and maintained in such account and applied to offset future Realized Losses and VRR Realized
Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses from time to time; and (B) are allocable to the Serviced Companion
Loans, shall be remitted within one Business Day after each such Distribution Date by the Certificate Administrator to the Master
Servicer (which shall remit to the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders in accordance with Section 3.05(h)).


 


On
each Distribution Date, immediately after giving effect to the operation of the two preceding paragraphs, amounts held in the
Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of any
related Intercreditor Agreement) that exceed amounts reasonably required (as determined by the Certificate Administrator) to offset
future Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, shall be distributed to the
Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LTR Interest) and, upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts
remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts allocable to any related Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to
the terms of any related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Class R Certificates
(in respect of the Class LTR Interest). Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall first be deemed to have been distributed to the Lower-Tier
Regular Interests in reimbursement of Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, and Additional Trust Fund Expenses
previously allocated thereto in the same manner as provided in Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement. Amounts paid from
the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of any Class of Non-VRR Certificates, Class S Certificates
or the VRR Interest receiving such distributions.


 


(f)         
Realized Losses. On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to
Section 4.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, of the Realized Loss and VRR Realized
Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates and VRR Realized
Losses to the VRR Interest shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. The allocation
of Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses shall constitute allocations of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust
Fund.


 


The
Certificate Balances of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution
Date as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Certificates with respect to such date. Any
such write-offs will be applied to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, in each case until the
Certificate Balance of such Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class J Certificates; second, to the Class H
Certificates; third, to the Class G Certificates; fourth, to the Class F Certificates; fifth, to
the Class E Certificates; sixth, to the Class D Certificates; seventh, to the Class C Certificates,
eighth, to the Class B Certificates; ninth, to the Class A-M Certificates; and finally, to the Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective
Certificate Balances.


 






    -321-


     


    

 


Any
Realized Losses so allocated to any Class of Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.


 


On
each Distribution Date, any VRR Realized Loss for such Distribution Date shall be allocated to the VRR Interest; and, in connection
therewith, the Certificate Balance shall be reduced without distribution, as a write-off, to the extent of such VRR Realized Loss.


 


Distributions
in reimbursement of Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, previously allocated to the respective Classes of the
Principal Balance Certificates and distributions in reimbursement of VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the VRR Interest
shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c), as applicable.
Additional Trust Fund Expenses and shortfalls in Aggregate Available Funds due to extraordinary expenses of the Trust Fund (including
indemnification expenses), a reduction in the Mortgage Rate on a Mortgage Loan by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of reorganization
or pursuant to any of its equitable powers, or otherwise, shall be treated as and allocated in the same manner as Realized Losses
and VRR Realized Losses. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses will not constitute distributions
of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates
or VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests in respect of which any such reimbursement is made.


 


If
and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on
the Mortgage Loans (including REO Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount
are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Collection
Period during which the recovery occurred): (i) the Non-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate
Balance of the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential
order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b), in each case up to the lesser of (A) the unallocated portion of
the Non-VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated
to the subject Class of Certificates, and the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Non-VRR Certificates
for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the aggregate amount of interest that would have accrued through the then
current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for the reimbursed Class of Principal Balance Certificates had never been
written down; and (ii) the VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interests up to the lesser of (A) the VRR Percentage of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the
unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests, and the interest payable
on the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests shall be deemed increased by the VRR Allocation Percentage of any contemporaneous
increases in interest payable on the Non-VRR Certificates pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence. To the extent that the
Certificate Balance of, and/or any interest payable on, any Class of Non-VRR Certificates or the VRR Interest is so increased,
an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, the Corresponding
Lower-Tier Regular Interest. If the Certificate Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the VRR Interest Upper-Tier
Regular Interests (or the Lower-Tier Principal

Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed
Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, of such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the VRR Interest (or
such Lower-Tier Regular Interest), as the case may be, shall be decreased by such amount, and any interest accrued on the amount
of unreimbursed Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, so decreased shall be deemed not to exist.


 


With
respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, allocated pursuant to this Agreement
with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as a
write-off and shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the same priority as the Class of Corresponding Certificates.


 


(g)         
All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall
be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests.
Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record
on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or
other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying
Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions
may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by
first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall
be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator
or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice
to Holders of such final distribution.


 


(h)         
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator
shall, as soon as reasonably practicable within the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to
any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the
effect that:


 


(A)        the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it 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 office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified, and


 


(B)         if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such
Distribution Date;


 


provided
that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until no other Class of Certificates or Lower-Tier Regular Interests
are outstanding.


 


Any
funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of such Classes of Certificates 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 for the benefit of the appropriate
non


 



    -323-


     


    

 


-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 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate
Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Holders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation
to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates
shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate
steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Holders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Holders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws,
if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying
Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate
Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination
as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue
or be payable to any Holder on any amount held hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Holder’s
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h). Any such
amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized
from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


(i)          
The Non-VRR Percentage of the Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Mortgage Loans, if any, for each Distribution
Date shall be allocated (and the Non-VRR Percentage of Compensating Interest Payments shall be deemed distributed) among the various
Classes of Non-VRR Certificates, and the VRR Percentage of the Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Mortgage
Loans, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be deemed allocated (and the VRR Percentage of Compensating Interest Payments
shall be deemed distributed) to the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interests and, in each case, correspondingly to the respective
Class or Classes of Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata, based upon the Interest Accrual Amount distributable
to each such Class of Certificates prior to reduction by such Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. Compensating Interest Payments
shall be deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection Account on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date.


 


(j)         
On the final Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the
Certificate Administrator who shall distribute to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Loss of Value Payments relating to the Mortgage
Loans that it is servicing and that were transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Collection Account on the immediately
preceding Master Servicer Remittance Date in accordance with Section 3.06(e)(v) of this Agreement.


 


(k)         
On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Interest Distribution Account any amounts
on deposit therein that represent Excess Interest received with respect to each ARD Loan during the related Collection Period
shall be distributed (i) to the Holders of the Class S Certificates in an amount equal to the Non-VRR Percentage of such Excess
Interest; (ii) to the Holders of the VRR Interest, pro rata, in an aggregate


 



    -324-


     


    

 


amount equal to the product of (A) the VRR
Percentage, multiplied by (B) the amount of such Excess Interest.

the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) an investor certification in the form of Exhibit
L-1E hereto from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded
Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s). In the event the Directing Holder or
a Controlling Class Certificateholder becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such party shall promptly notify each of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing substantially
in the form of Exhibit L-1E that such party is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and identify the Excluded Controlling
Class Loan(s) and thereafter shall not be entitled to any Excluded Information related to such Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and
the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Holder and all beneficial owners of
the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received such notice from the
Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication
to the Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or disclosure of Excluded Information if the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice
that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including, in the case of a summary of an Asset Status Report
or Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website

rely on (i) any written notice from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it is no longer an Excluded
Controlling Class Holder and (ii) any certification delivered by the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder,
as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit L1-B that such Person is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder.
To the extent the Directing Holder 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,

provide any information related to the Excluded Controlling Class Loan to the related Borrower or to any Excluded Controlling
Class Holder or (A) any employees or personnel of such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any Affiliate
involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower or the related Mortgaged Property or (B) to its actual knowledge,

internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause
(i) above.


 


To
the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Party or a Holder of the VRR Interest receives access pursuant to this Agreement to
any information solely related to a Mortgage Loan with respect to which such party is a Borrower Party (which shall include any
Asset Status Reports, Final Asset Status Reports (or summaries thereof), inspection reports related to Specially Serviced Loans
conducted by the Special Servicer or any Excluded Special Servicer and which may include any Operating Advisor reports delivered
to the Certificate Administrator regarding the Special Servicer’s net present value determination or any Appraisal Reduction
Amount calculations, and any Officer’s Certificates delivered by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
supporting any determination that any Advance was (or, if made, would be) a Nonrecoverable Advance, but in each case other than
information with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level), on
the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such information, the Risk Retention Consultation

of the VRR Interest or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the
related Mortgaged Property or (C) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest
in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in
place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes
of this paragraph, any file or report contained in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package (“CREFC®
IRP”) (other than the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File relating to any such Excluded Loan) shall
be considered information that is aggregated with information of other Mortgage Loans at a pool level.


 


The
Certificate Administrator makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and assumes
no responsibility therefor. In addition, the Certificate Administrator may disclaim responsibility for any information distributed
or filed by the Certificate Administrator for which it is not the original source. The Certificate Administrator shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied to it by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that
is included in any reports, statements, materials or information prepared or provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Master Servicer’s reports
and the Special Servicer’s reports without any duty or obligation to recompute, verify or re-evaluate any of the amounts
or other information stated therein. In connection with providing access to the Certificate Administrator’s Internet website,
the Certificate Administrator may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Certificate Administrator shall
not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any Excluded Information to the extent such information was included in any
summary of an Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate
Administrator’s Website and not properly identified as Excluded Information.

The
Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for access by an Excluded Controlling Class Holder to the Certificate Administrator’s
Website of any information with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is prohibited from accessing pursuant
to this Agreement if such Excluded Controlling Class Holder provided an Investor Certification but did not indicate it was a Borrower
Party.


 


The
provisions in this Section shall not limit the Master Servicer’s ability to make accessible certain information regarding
the Mortgage Loans at a website maintained by the Master Servicer.


 


(c)       The
Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A
Forum” shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders and Certificate
Owners who are Privileged Persons may (A) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to the Distribution Date
Statement, (B) submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports being made
available pursuant to this Section 4.02(c), the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan) or related Mortgaged Properties and (C) submit questions to the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual
Reports or actions by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as to which the Operating Advisor has consultation rights, whether
or not referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Reports or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor (collectively, “Inquiries”),
and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto.
Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator

of an inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the applicable party under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
in each case within a commercially reasonable period following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Certificate
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans or related
Mortgaged Properties) or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below,
shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall be sent by email
to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period following
preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Investor Q&A Forum.
If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective
sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope outlined above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best
interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, this
Agreement or the applicable Loan Documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant
additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor,
as applicable, (v) answering such inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information
Exception), (vi) answering such 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 not advisable for any reason, it shall
not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor,
shall promptly notify the



    -335-


     


    

 


Certificate
Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall not post such Inquiry on the Investor Q&A Forum. In addition, no party
shall post or otherwise disclose information known to such party to be Privileged Information as part of its response to any Inquiry.
The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry if the Inquiry will not be answered. The Certificate
Administrator shall not be required to post to the Investor Q&A Forum any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator
determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions,
answers and other communications between the Certificate Administrator or other Person which are not submitted via the Investor
Q&A Forum. In addition, no party is permitted to post or otherwise disclose direct communication with the Directing Holder
or the Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any
questions. 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.


 


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


 


(e)       The
Master Servicer may at its sole cost and expense, but is not required to, make any of the reports or files it delivers pursuant
to this Agreement available on the Master Servicer’s website only with the use of a password, in which case the Master Servicer
shall provide such password to (i) the other parties to this Agreement, who by their acceptance of such password shall be deemed
to have agreed not to disclose such password to any other Person and (ii) each Certificateholder and prospective Certificateholder
who requests such password, provided that any such Certificateholder or prospective Certificateholder, as the case may
be, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer. In connection
with providing access to the Master Servicer’s website, the Master Servicer may require registration and the acceptance
of a disclaimer and otherwise (subject to the preceding sentence) adopt reasonable rules and procedures, which may include, to
the extent the Master



    -336-


     


    

 


Servicer
deems necessary or appropriate, conditioning access on execution of an agreement governing the availability, use and disclosure
of such information, and which may provide indemnification to the Master Servicer for any liability or damage that may arise therefrom.
The Master Servicer shall not be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, provided
that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information
or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable
disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board
service or Internet website any reports or other information the Master Servicer is required or permitted to provide to any Borrower
with respect to such Borrower’s Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to the extent such action does not conflict with the
terms of this Agreement, the terms of the related Loan Documents or applicable law. If the Master Servicer is required to deliver
any statement, report or other information under any provision of this Agreement, then, the Master Servicer 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 its website, unless this
Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery; provided that all reports required to be delivered to the
Certificate Administrator shall be delivered in accordance with clause (x) or (y) or, upon request, clause (z).


 


(f)       Subject
to Section 3.13, the Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably requested by the
Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and
REO Properties as may be reasonably necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information
to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor
shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless
the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous
information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders
and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01 of this Agreement and preparing the
statements to Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement.


 


(g)       As
soon as reasonably practicable, upon the written request of and at the expense of any Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator
shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession
or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such Certificateholder, 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.

(h)       The
Certificate Administrator shall make available at its offices, during normal business hours, upon not less than two Business Days
prior notice, for review by any Privileged Person and any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder that is a Privileged Person (solely
with respect to items (ii) and (iii), to the extent such information relates to the related Serviced Companion Loan), originals
or copies of documents relating to the Mortgage Loans and any related REO Properties to the extent in its possession, including,
without limitation, the following items (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or under any of the related Loan Documents):


 


(i)         any
and all notices and reports delivered to the Certificate Administrator with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which the
environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(f) of this Agreement revealed that neither of the conditions set forth
in clauses (i) and (ii) thereof was satisfied;


 


(ii)        the
most recent annual (or more frequent, if available) operating statements, rent rolls (to the extent such rent rolls have been
made available by the related Borrower) and/or lease summaries and retail sales information, if any, received from the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect to each Mortgaged Property;


 


(iii)       the
Mortgage File, including any and all modifications, waivers and amendments of the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan
entered into by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer and delivered to the Certificate Administrator; and


 


(iv)       any
other information that may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A under the Securities
Act.


 


The
Certificate Administrator may require a Privileged Person to execute an Investor Certification prior to granting access to such
information, which may be in the form of a “click-through” confirmation. Copies of any and all of the foregoing items
will be available from the Certificate Administrator upon request. The Certificate Administrator will be permitted to require
payment by the requesting party (other than a Rating Agency) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of
making such information available and providing any copies thereof. The Certificate Administrator’s obligation under this
Section 4.02(h) to make available any document is subject to the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such document.


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for providing or disseminating information in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.


 


(i)        The
Depositor hereby authorizes the Certificate Administrator to make available to any Financial Market Publisher or such other vendor
chosen by the Depositor that submits to the Certificate Administrator a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit
L-2 to this Agreement, all the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC® reports and supplemental notices delivered
or made available pursuant to this Section 4.02 to Privileged Persons.


 


Section
4.03 Compliance with Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying
Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders and other payees of
interest, original



    -338-


     


    

 


issue
discount or other amounts that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders
or payees shall not be required for any such withholding. If the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest,
original issue discount payments or other amounts or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or payee. Any amount so withheld shall
be treated as having been distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.


 


Section
4.04 REMIC Compliance. (a) The parties intend that the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall constitute,
and that the affairs of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a “real
estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions at all times any Certificates
are outstanding, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention,
the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as
agent, of each such REMIC and shall on behalf of each such REMIC:


 


(i)         make
or cause to be made an election, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC
on Form 1066 for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;


 


(ii)        prepare
and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, and cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall sign), all required
Tax Returns for the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each of such REMIC
as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws;


 


(iii)       prepare
and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities
all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;


 


(iv)       if
the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section
4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier
REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and
filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable
provisions of state and local law;


 


(v)       within
30 days of the Closing Date, obtain a taxpayer identification number for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC
on IRS Form SS-4 and (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC only), furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on Form 8811 or
as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the person that the Certificateholders may contact for
tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of the Upper-Tier REMIC for
this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at
the time or times and in the manner required by the Code



    -339-


     


    

 


(and
the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and


 


(vi)       maintain
such records relating to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall be designated as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223
of the Code of each Trust REMIC. Each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance hereof, is deemed
to have consented to such designation and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses
incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid
by the Trust Fund.


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action if, in taking or omitting
to take such action, the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that such action or omission (as the case may be) would
cause the termination of the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the imposition of tax on the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted to be received by the terms of this Agreement).
Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any
action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement,
nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or
authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability
with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer which does not
enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the first paragraph of this Section
4.04(a) or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) or (ii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard
the Certificate Administrator shall (i) exercise reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions”
within the meaning of Section 860F(a) of the Code, unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate
Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (A) result in a taxable gain,
(B) otherwise subject the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate
tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (C) cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC; and (ii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the Trust Fund to receive any contributions, or any income from the
performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC (provided that the
receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause).
None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Depositor shall be (i) permitted to take any action that
the Certificate Administrator would not be permitted to take pursuant to the preceding two sentences or (ii) responsible or liable
(except in connection with taking any act or omission referred to in the two preceding sentences or the following sentence) for
any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely



    -340-


     


    

 


manner
with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Trustee’s, the Master
Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary
to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of IRS Form W-9, if requested. The Trustee shall be entitled
to rely on any information contained therein and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided that the Certificate
Administrator shall be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by applicable Treasury Regulations.


 


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 any REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6226 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 any Class
R Certificate, past or present. A Holder of any Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such interest, to any such elections
and to the Certificate Administrator’s designation as “partnership representative” of each REMIC under Section
6223 of the Code.


 


(b)       The
following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating
the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Certificates: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal
and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that
the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Sole Certificateholder, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Controlling Class
will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii)
no Mortgage Loan is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.


 


(c)       The
Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for any tax administration relating to the JW Marriott Nashville REMIC.


 


Section
4.05 Imposition of Tax on the Trust Fund. If any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts
or additions to tax, is imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holders of the Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as
an expense of the related Serviced REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the Serviced REO Property (and
until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from amounts in the REO Account (and, in the
case of any Serviced Whole Loan, from amounts in the Serviced Whole Loan REO Account) allocable to the Mortgage Loans and transfer
to the Certificate Administrator amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes,
which the Certificate Administrator shall maintain in a separate, non-interest-bearing account, and the Certificate Administrator
shall send to the Special Servicer for deposit in the REO Account



    -341-


     


    

 


(or,
if applicable, the Serviced Whole Loan REO Account) the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of
the amount in such account over the amount necessary to pay such taxes) and shall be paid therefrom; provided that any
such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Aggregate
Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(xii) or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, in Section 3.06(b)(xiii),
and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and
shall retain or cause to be retained from Aggregate Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and
to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by the applicable Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee
from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund or in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan with a Serviced Pari Passu Companion
Loan, on a pro rata basis as between the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (based
on their respective outstanding principal balances)) 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 or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the net income allocable to the Mortgage
Loans from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or (ii) the amount of any contribution to
the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier 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 tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the Collection
Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or the Upper-Tier Distribution Account). To the extent that any such tax is paid
to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders
of the Class R Certificates, as the case may be, and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Non-VRR Certificates
and the VRR Interest, or the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, until they are fully reimbursed and then to
the Holders of the Class R Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, nor
the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC except to the extent such
tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty or the negligence or willful misconduct of the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement, provided, further, that such breach,
act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03 of this Agreement, in the case of the Master Servicer, Section
4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Trustee or Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Certificate
Administrator in accordance with the standard of liability set forth in those sections. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for the Trustee’s
or the Certificate Administrator’s breaches, acts or omissions, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts
or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall
not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Master Servicer shall in the case of all Mortgage Loans either (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any to be made
in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole
Loan Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation
to make P&I Advances; provided that such amounts in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account shall only
be applied up to the related Mortgage Loan’s pro rata share of the amounts held therein on such date, or (iii) make P&I
Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer, except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License
Fee for each such Mortgage Loan shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC®.
Any amounts held in the Collection Account or any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, for future distribution
and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the
Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable,
on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through either (x)
the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made
or (y) the deposit of Periodic Payments collected prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period that ends after the P&I
Advance Determination Date in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount
of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date. If the
Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Master Servicer Remittance Date,
then the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.06 of this Agreement by 12:00 noon (New York City
time) on the related Distribution Date, in each case unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and shall have
provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee) by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date or the Trustee
determines that such P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. 



    -343-


     


    

 


Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to make principal or interest advances with respect to
any delinquent payment amounts due on any Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes a P&I Advance with respect
to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan with a related Serviced Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Companion Loan, then
it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such
P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.


 


(b)       Subject
to Section 4.07(c) and 4.07(d) below, the aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer
with respect to any Distribution Date shall equal the aggregate of: (i) the Periodic Payments (other than any Balloon Payment)
(net of related Servicing Fees (other than, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the servicing fee rate pursuant to
the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement)) that were due on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loan (other than any portion
of an REO Loan related to any other Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and delinquent as of the P&I Advance
Determination Date (or not advanced by any Sub Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage
Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the Master Servicer Remittance Date (including any REO Loan (other than
any portion of an REO Loan related to any other Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due),
an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer
to make such P&I Advances, with respect to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing, is mandatory, and with respect to any
applicable Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, shall continue until (but not including) the Distribution Date on which Liquidation Proceeds
or REO Proceeds, if any, are to be distributed. The Periodic Payment or Assumed Scheduled Payment shall be reduced, for purposes
of P&I Advances, by any modifications pursuant to Section 3.26 of this Agreement or otherwise and by any reductions
by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers.


 


(c)       Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required hereunder if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.
In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance to the extent that it has received written
notice that the Special Servicer has determined (if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, in consultation with the
Directing Holder) that such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In making such recoverability
determination, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to (i) give due regard
to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the
recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
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 recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount
which is being or may be deferred or delayed, (ii) consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms
of the related Mortgage Loan (or the Whole Loan, as applicable) as it may have been modified, (iii) consider (among other things)
the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such
party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer)




    -344-


     


    

 


regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (iv) estimate and consider
(consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) (among other things) future
expenses, (v) estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries, and (vi) with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole
Loan, consider any nonrecoverability determination of the Other Servicer or Other Trustee relating to a principal and interest
advance for a Non-Serviced Companion Loan.


 


The
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior
P&I Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advances were unreimbursed P&I Advances.
None of the Master Servicer or Trustee shall make any P&I Advances with respect to delinquent amounts due on any Companion
Loan. If an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9-month period (and the
Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal
pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal
does not, in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reflect current market
conditions, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward
adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may, subject to its
reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain
an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund (subject, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, to the allocation
provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement).


 


Any
such determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable,
has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance shall be evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the
Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Noteholder(s), the Directing Holder (but
only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) and the Depositor and, in the case of the Trustee, by a certificate of
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the Depositor, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination
Event is continuing), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, which
in each case sets forth such nonrecoverability determination and the considerations of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate accompanied by, to the extent available,
income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and other information used by the Master Servicer,
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination, together with any existing Appraisal or any Updated
Appraisal); provided that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made is nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer,
the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) (and, with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan,
to any Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement into which the related Companion Loan
is deposited), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the 17g-5
Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to



    -345-


     


    

 


Section
3.14(d) of this Agreement), notice of such determination, together with a certificate of a Servicing Officer and the supporting
information described above. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Trustee.


 


Any
such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination
or prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a P&I Advance constitutes, or would constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer)
may obtain, at the expense of the Trust Fund (subject, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, to the allocation provisions of
the related Intercreditor Agreement), any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes.
Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the
Certificateholders.


 


Notwithstanding
the above, (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on and be bound by any determination by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance and (ii) the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on and be bound by any determination of the Special Servicer that a P&I
Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special
Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making
a determination that an advance constitutes, or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Trustee, in determining whether
or not a P&I Advance previously made is, or a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance
shall use its good faith business judgment. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish the Master Servicer and the Trustee with
any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as each such party may reasonably
request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.


 


(d)       In
connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement
or any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(b) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to pay itself or the Trustee, as the case may be (in reverse of such order with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO
Property) out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account
(subject to the provisions of Section 3.06) (to the extent amounts therein relate to the Mortgage Loans, taking into account
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 with respect to the Mortgage Loan that
the Master Servicer is servicing; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) made
with respect to a Mortgage Loan until after 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 Business Day immediately prior
to the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding
P&I Advance as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account
or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer is servicing.


 



    -346-


     


    

 





Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.06 of this Agreement, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall
make an advance for Yield Maintenance Charges, Excess Interest or Penalty Charges and (ii) if the Master Servicer receives notice
of an Appraisal Reduction Event and the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, the interest portion of any P&I Advance with respect
to a Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which there has been an Appraisal Reduction Amount will be an amount equal to the product of
(x) the amount required to be advanced without giving effect to the Appraisal Reduction Amount and (y) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the immediately preceding Determination Date less any Appraisal
Reduction Amount applicable to such Mortgage Loan and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan as of such Determination Date. All P&I Advances for any Mortgage Loans that have been modified shall be calculated on
the basis of their terms as modified. With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, does not receive notice of an Appraisal Reduction Event and the related Appraisal Reduction Amount from the related
Other Servicer, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no obligation to proportionately reduce the
interest portion of any P&I Advance required to be made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. With respect
to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan that has already been securitized prior to the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator,
on behalf of the Trust, shall notify each Other Servicer and each Other Trustee of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that (a) such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has been included in this Trust and (b) upon (i) the existence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and/or
(ii) the related calculation of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (or receipt of notice of any such calculation), such Other Servicer
shall provide the Master Servicer (who shall promptly provide to the Special Servicer (who shall promptly forward, so long as
no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, to the Directing Holder) and the Trustee with prompt notice of the existence
of any such Appraisal Reduction Event and/or any such Appraisal Reduction Amount once calculated. With respect to any Serviced
Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Other Servicer and Other Trustee of the existence of an Appraisal
Reduction Event and any related Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have delivered notice of any
such Appraisal Reduction Event and any related Appraisal Reduction Amount if the Master Servicer includes such event and/or amount
in its monthly servicer statements provided to the other servicer.


 


The
portion of any Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds in respect of a Mortgage Loan or any REO Loan allocable to principal
shall equal the total amount of such proceeds minus (i) any portion thereof payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement
and (ii) a portion thereof equal to the interest component of the Periodic Payment(s), as accrued at the related Net Mortgage
Rate from the date as to which interest was last paid by the Borrower up to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period
in which such proceeds are received; provided that, if the interest portion(s) of one or more P&I Advances with respect
of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, were reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the
Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion
of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amount of the Net Liquidation
Proceeds to be applied to principal has been applied to pay the principal of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan in full, any remaining
Net Liquidation Proceeds 



    -347-


     


    

 


shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan.


 


(e)       With
respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee will each be permitted to
make its determination that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made a P&I Advance on such Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable
P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect
to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.07(a) independently of any determination made by the Other Servicer
(or any master servicer with respect to a commercial mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related
to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any) under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or any pooling and servicing agreement
with respect to a commercial mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, if any). If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that a proposed
P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer (and any master servicer with respect to a commercial
mortgage securitization holding another Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any), the Other
Special Servicer and Other Trustee with written notice of such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business
Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. If the Master Servicer
receives written notice from an Other Servicer (relating to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that governs the servicing
and administration of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan) that it has determined, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion
Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan would be,
or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination
shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee; provided that, with respect to each
Non-Serviced Whole Loan, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability
determination.


 


If
the Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that it is no longer approved as a master servicer for commercial mortgage
securitizations, it shall promptly notify the Trustee, any Other Trustee, any Other Servicer and any other trustee or master servicer
with respect to each commercial mortgage securitization that holds a Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan, if any.


 


(f)       With
respect to any Serviced Whole Loan that has a Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee
will be permitted to make its determination that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made a P&I Advance on the related
Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.07(a) independently of any determination
made in respect of the related Serviced Companion Loan, by the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance with respect to a
Serviced Whole Loan to the extent that it has received 



    -348-


     


    

 


written notice that the Special Servicer has determined that such Advance
would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance
with respect to any such Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or
Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and the Other Trustee under each related Other
Pooling and Servicing Agreement with written notice of such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days
after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. If the Master Servicer
receives written notice from any master servicer under any such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that such master servicer
has determined, with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with
respect to such Serviced Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance
of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee;
provided that, with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled
to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.


 


(g)       If
the Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that it is no longer approved as a master servicer for commercial mortgage
securitizations, it shall promptly notify the Trustee, any Other Trustee, any Other Servicer and any other trustee or master servicer
with respect to each commercial mortgage securitization that holds a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan related to any Serviced
Whole Loan, if any.


 


(h)       The
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes to the extent
permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such P&I
Advances to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each
hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Borrowers to the extent
permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan and this Agreement.


 


Section
4.08 Appraisal Reductions; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Non-Reduced Certificates,
the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and (y) determining the Voting Rights
of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer, the VRR Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts
allocated to the Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the VRR Interest to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Certificate
Balance of the VRR Interest. The Non-VRR Percentage of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Mortgage Loans will be
allocated to each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate
Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the
Class J Certificates; second, to the Class H Certificates, third, to the Class G Certificates, fourth, to
the Class F Certificates, fifth, to the Class E Certificates, sixth, to the Class D Certificates, seventh,
to the Class C Certificates, eighth, 



    -349-


     


    

 


to the Class B Certificates, ninth,
to the Class A-M Certificates, and tenth, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates,
pro rata, based on their Certificate Balances).


 


As
of the first Determination Date following a Serviced Mortgage Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Master Servicer shall calculate
whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal
obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency
Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has
become an AB Modified Loan, the Master Servicer shall (i) promptly request from the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer
and Other Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably
required by the Master Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan,
and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Master Servicer of the appraisal and any other information
set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Master Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a
Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained
by the Other Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral
Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Master Servicer thereof. The Special Servicer,
upon reasonable prior written request, shall provide the Master Servicer with information in its possession (or that is reasonably
obtainable at no additional expense) that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount.
Upon reasonable prior written request, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Master Servicer in obtaining
information reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan in the event that the Master Servicer is unsuccessful in obtaining such information from the related Other Servicer, Other
Special Servicer or Other Trustee. None of the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate
or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.


 


For
purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates, the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event is continuing,
the VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the VRR Interest to notionally reduce (to not less
than zero) the Certificate Balance thereof, and the Non-VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts will be allocated to
each class of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof
until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero.


 


For
purposes of determining the Controlling Class and whether a Control Termination Event is continuing, Collateral Deficiency Amounts
allocated to an AB Modified Loan will be allocated by applying the Non-VRR Percentage of the Collateral Deficiency Amounts 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 whether a Control Termination Event is continuing, any Class of Control 



    -350-


     


    

 


Eligible
Certificates shall be allocated the Non-VRR Percentage of 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 4.08(a).


 


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


 


The
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction
Amount (which notification shall be made by delivery of the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with
Section 3.13(a)), any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Amount allocated to each Mortgage
Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan if any (which notification shall be satisfied through the delivery of such information
included in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting
Package (or such other form as agreed to by the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer), which shall be delivered simultaneously
with the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13(a)). Based on information in its
possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class.
Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling
Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from the Depository being an expense of the Trust).


 


(b)       The
Holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates whose aggregate Certificate Balance,
as notionally reduced by Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated thereto, is less than 25% of the
initial Certificate Principal Balance of such Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an
allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at
their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a supplemental Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole
Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders,
the “Requesting Holders”), and use its reasonable efforts to obtain an Appraisal prepared on an “as-is”
basis by an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’
written request. Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral
Deficiency Amount determination shall not exercise any rights of the Controlling Class, until such time, if any, as such Class
is reinstated as the Controlling Class and the rights of the Controlling Class will be exercised by the next most senior Control
Eligible Certificates, if any, during such period.


 


In
addition, the Requesting Holders of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special
Servicer to order an additional appraisal of any Serviced Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or
as to which 



    -351-


     


    

 


there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property
or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to obtain an Appraisal prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special
Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request; provided that the Special Servicer
shall not be required to obtain such appraisal if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or
with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on the appraised
value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. The right of the holders of an Appraised-Out Class to require
the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal as described in this paragraph shall be limited to no more frequently than
once in any 9-month period with respect to any Mortgage Loan.


 


Upon
receipt of any such supplemental Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall send the Appraisal to the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based upon such supplemental
Appraisal and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such
information is in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by, the Special Servicer, and is reasonably
necessary to make such recalculation. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the
Controlling Class.

that are permitted to be obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of holders of an Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition
to any appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard or this
Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any holder of an Appraised-Out Class.


 


(c)       An
appraisal for any Mortgage Loan that has not been brought current for at least three consecutive Periodic Payments (or paid in
full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise disposed of) will be updated every 9 months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event
or Collateral Deficiency Amount exists.


 


(d)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing, within 60 days after an Appraisal Reduction Event (i) with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced
Companion Loans having a Stated Principal Balance of $2,000,000 or higher, the Special Servicer shall order and use efforts consistent
with the Servicing Standard to obtain an Updated Appraisal or (ii) with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced
Companion Loans having a Stated Principal Balance of less than $2,000,000, the Special Servicer, at its option, shall (A) provide
a Small Loan Appraisal Estimate within the same time period as an Appraisal would otherwise be required and such Small Loan Appraisal
Estimate shall be used in lieu of an Updated Appraisal to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Mortgage Loans or
applicable Serviced Whole Loans; or (B) order and use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain an Updated Appraisal.


 


(e)       The
Special Servicer, upon reasonable request, shall deliver to the Master Servicer any information in the Special Servicer’s
possession (or that is reasonably obtainable at no additional expense by the Special Servicer) reasonably required to determine,
calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount.


 



    -352-


     


    

 





On
the first Determination Date occurring at least 10 Business Days after the later of (i) date the Master Servicer receives from
the Special Servicer the related Updated Appraisal or the Special Servicer’s Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, as applicable,
and (ii) the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Master Servicer shall adjust the Appraisal Reduction Amount to take
into account such Updated Appraisal or Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, as applicable and any information reasonably requested by
the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such information is in the possession of the Special Servicer, necessary
to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted to take into account any subsequent
Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal, as applicable, and any letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent
Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, Updated Appraisal or letter update, as applicable, and receipt of information reasonably requested
by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, to the extent such information is in the possession of (or reasonably obtainable
at no additional expense by) the Special Servicer and is reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such
report shall also be forwarded by the Master Servicer, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in
a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has
been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer.


 


Section
4.09 Grantor Trust Reporting. The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account
for the separate entitlements of the Grantor Trust.


 


(a)       The
parties intend that the Grantor Trust shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions thereof
shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage
of market fluctuations or so as to improve the rate of return of the Excess Interest Certificates, and shall otherwise comply
with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c). Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall obtain
a taxpayer identification number for the Grantor Trust on IRS Form SS-4. The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to
be filed with the IRS Form 1041 (or, if the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, information will be provided on Form 1099) or such other
form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates their
allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Class S Grantor Trust Assets with the corresponding alphabetic or alphanumeric
designation and proceeds thereof, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.


 


(b)       The
Grantor Trust will not be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT so long as the Excess Interest Certificates are not treated as held
through a “middleman” for federal income tax purposes. If the Grantor Trust is treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT,
the Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably
necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The
Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC, “Embassy & Co.” and “Hare & Co.”
are the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator
with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely on the first sentence of this Section 4.09(b), and shall be entitled to indemnification 



    -353-


     


    

 


in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement in the event that the IRS makes a determination that any such notice is incorrect.


 


(i)       The
Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method,
except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under
no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall
make available (via the Certificate Administrator’s 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.


 


(ii)       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 owner
of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its
interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information
regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information
regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof
or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.


 


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


 


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



    -354-


     


    

 


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,
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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may (but shall not be obligated to) 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 pursuant to this Section 4.10, in no event shall the Certificate
Administrator be obligated to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

Each
Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.


 



    -356-


     


    

 





The
Class S and Class R Certificates will each be issuable in one or more Individual Certificates in minimum denominations of 5% Percentage
Interests and integral multiples of a 1% Percentage Interest in excess thereof and together aggregating the entire 100% Percentage
Interest in each such Class.


 


The
Global Certificates shall be issued as one or more certificates registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository,
and Certificate Owners shall hold interests in the Global Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in
the minimum Denominations and aggregate Denominations and Classes as set forth above.


 


The
Global Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Individual Certificates authenticated
and delivered hereunder.


 


The
Retained Certificates shall each be issuable in one or more Individual Certificates at all times during the Transfer Restriction
Period.


 


(b)       Except
insofar as pertains to any Individual Certificate, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee
may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Global Certificates and the giving of notice to Holders thereof)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Global Certificates for
the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder; provided that, for purposes of transmitting communications
pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, to the extent that the Depositor has provided the Certificate Administrator
with the names of Certificate Owners (even if such Certificateholders hold their Certificates through the Depository) the Certificate
Administrator shall provide such information to such Certificate Owners directly. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect
to Global Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificateholders and the Depository
and Depository Participants. Except as set forth in Section 5.01(e) below, Certificate Owners of Global Certificates shall
not be entitled to physical certificates for the Global Certificates as to which they are the Certificate Owners. Requests and
directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Global Certificates shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5.01
of this Agreement and Applicable Procedures, the holder of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate may request that
the Certificate Administrator cause the Depository (or any Agent Member) to notify the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate
Custodian in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates.
Upon receipt of such a request and payment by the related Certificate Owner of any attendant expenses, the Certificate Administrator
shall cause the issuance and delivery of such Individual Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may establish a reasonable record
date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and give notice to the Depository of such
record date. Without the written consent of the Certificate Registrar, no Global Certificate may be transferred by the Depository
except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold the Global Certificates for the account of the Certificate Owners.


 


(c)       Any
of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted
or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required




    -357-


     


    

 


to comply with any law or with rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in which the
Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.


 


(d)       The
Global Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar to the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository’s
instructions on behalf of the Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and in either case shall be registered
in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:


 


“Unless
this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”),
to the Certificate Registrar for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the
name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER
USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has
an interest herein.”


 


The
Global Certificates may be deposited with such other Depository as the Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate,
and shall bear such legend as may be appropriate.


 


(e)       If
(i) the Depository advises the Certificate Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able properly
to discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor are unable to locate a qualified
successor within 90 days of such notice or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding
to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding
it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class, the Certificate
Administrator shall notify the affected Certificate Owner or Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of such event and
the availability of Individual Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting them. Upon surrender to the Certificate Administrator
of Global Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer,
the Certificate Administrator shall issue the Individual Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer nor the Depositor shall be liable for any actions taken by the
Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual
Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer shall recognize the
Holders of Individual Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.


 


(f)       If
the Trustee, its agents, the Certificate Administrator, its agents or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer have instituted
or have been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Certificates, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have been advised by
counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to obtain 



    -358-


     


    

 


possession of the Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may in their sole discretion determine that the Certificates represented by the Global
Certificates shall no longer be represented by such Global Certificates. In such event, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating
Agent will execute and authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver, in exchange for such Global Certificates, Individual
Certificates (and if the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Custodian has in its possession Individual Certificates
previously executed, the Authenticating Agent will authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver such Certificates)
in a Denomination equal to the aggregate Denomination of such Global Certificates.


 


(g)       If
the Trust Fund ceases to be subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator shall make available
to each Holder and Certificate Owner of a Class of Certificates, upon request of such a Holder, information, to the extent such
information is in its possession, substantially equivalent in scope to the information currently filed by the Certificate Administrator
with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, plus additional information required to be provided for securities qualifying
for resales under Rule 144A under the Act.


 


For
so long as either the Class S or Class R Certificates remain outstanding, none of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar shall take any action which would cause the Trust Fund to fail to be subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.


 


(h)       Each
Certificate may be printed or in typewritten or similar form, and each Certificate shall, upon original issue, be executed and
authenticated by the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent and delivered to, or at the order of, the Depositor.
All Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating
Agent by an authorized officer or signatory. Certificates bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the proper
officer or signatory of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent shall bind the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating
Agent, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office or position prior to the delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such office or position at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under
this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication in the form
set forth in Exhibit A-1 through Exhibit A-24 executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.


 


(i)       If,
in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall have reported the amount of an anticipated distribution
to the Depository based on the expected receipt of any monthly payment based on information set forth in any report of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, or any other monthly payment, Balloon Payment or prepayment expected to be or which is paid
on the last two Business Days preceding such Distribution Date, and the related Borrower fails to make such payments at such time,
the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make the revised distribution
on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities), the Operating
Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be liable or held responsible
for any resulting delay (or claims 



    -359-


     


    

 


by the Depository resulting therefrom) in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders.
Any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Certificate Administrator as a consequence of a Borrower failing to make such payments
shall be reimbursable to the Certificate Administrator as an expense of the Trust Fund.


 


(j)       During
the Transfer Restriction Period, each Retained Certificate shall only be held as Individual Certificates in the Retained Interest
Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and each Retaining Party’s respective interest shall be tracked in
the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust accounting system under the Retained Interest Safekeeping
Account), for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Certificate Administrator shall hold such Retained Certificates
in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of (i) written instructions from the holder of the Retained Certificates
and the Retaining Sponsor, and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator
and in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) any certifications or other requirements governing transfers of the Retained Certificate
required under Section 5.02(m). 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 Retained Certificates
shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate
Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for each Retaining Party. The
Retained Certificates to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein.
No amounts distributable to the Retained Certificates 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 Retained Certificates shall the Certificate
Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Retaining Parties.
During the Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the applicable Retaining Party may request, the Certificate
Administrator shall hold the Retained Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons at the below
location, or any other location; provided that the Certificate Administrator has given notice to each of the Retaining
Parties of such new location:


 


Wells
Fargo Bank NA 


Attn:
Security Control and Transfer (SCAT) – MAC N9345-010 


425
E. Hennepin Avenue 


Minneapolis,
MN 55414


 


The
Certificate Administrator shall make available to each VRR Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed
upon by the Certificate Administrator and such VRR Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s
policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Certificate evidencing the VRR Interest shall be subject to this Article V.
During the Transfer Restriction Period, unless the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor otherwise consent in writing, the Certificate
Administrator shall not permit any Person to copy (other than for internal purposes), and shall not itself provide to any Person
copies of, the executed Certificates held by it in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account.


 


Section
5.02 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause
to be kept at its offices books (the “Certificate 



    -360-


     


    

 


Register”) for the registration, transfer and exchange of
Certificates (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). The Depositor,
the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain
a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information
set forth in the Certificate Register. The names and addresses of all Certificateholders and the names and addresses of the transferees
of any Certificates shall be registered in the Certificate Register; provided that, in no event shall the Certificate Registrar
be required to maintain in the Certificate Register the names of the individual Participants holding beneficial interests in the
Trust Fund through the Depository. The Person in whose name any Certificate is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the
sole owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the Depositor, Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer,
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall not be affected
by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. An Individual Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender
of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder
or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements of Section 5.01(h) and Sections 5.02(c), (d),

execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the Individual Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates
shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement. Each Certificate

and (i) of this Agreement.


 


(c)       In
addition to the provisions of Sections 5.01(h) and (j) and 5.02(d), (e), (f), (g), (h)

(A)       Other
than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer
of such Individual Certificate if the requested transfer is being made by a transferee who has provided the Certificate Registrar
with an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to this Agreement (an “Investment
Representation Letter”), to the effect that the transfer is being made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance
with Rule 144A;

Agreement (a “Regulation S Transfer Certificate”), and (2) the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar
an Investment Representation Letter; or


 


(C)       Other

Person in accordance with an applicable exemption under the Act, and (2) in the case of a transfer to an Affiliated Person, an

and,
in each case, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of such Individual Certificate only if prior to the transfer
the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a written undertaking by the transferor to reimburse the Trust Fund for
any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may, as a condition
of the registration of any such transfer, require the transferor to furnish such other certificates, legal opinions or other information
(at the transferor’s expense) as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer
is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.


 


(ii)         Transfers
within the Private Global Certificates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Private Global

only be made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(ii).


 


(A)       Rule
144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate During the Restricted Period. If, during the Restricted Period,

to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in
the form of Exhibit H to this Agreement given by the Certificate Owner of such interest, the Certificate Registrar shall
instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to reduce the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate

such reduction, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the Denomination of the beneficial interest
in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified
in such instructions (who shall be an Agent Member acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the ease may
be) a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate having a Denomination equal to the amount by which the Denomination
of the Rule 144A Global Certificate was reduced upon such transfer.


 


(B)       Rule
144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate After the Restricted Period. If, after the Restricted Period, a
Certificate Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such
Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related
Regulation S Global Certificate, such holder may, in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the
transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate only upon compliance
with the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)(ii)(B). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office
of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate
Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation

account, as the case may be, to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest,
and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit I to this Agreement given by the Certificate Owner of such interest, the Certificate

wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Rule 144A Global Certificate, such Certificate Owner may,
in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent
beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)(ii)(C).
Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified

certificate in the form of Exhibit J to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest or (ii) after the
Restricted Period, an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional
Buyer, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to reduce the Denomination

to be transferred, and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by
the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit

Certificate having a 



    -364-

upon such transfer.


 


(iii)        Transfers
from the Private Global Certificates to Individual Certificates. Any and all transfers from a Private Global Certificate to
a transferee wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will require the transferee to take delivery subject
to the restrictions on the transfer of such Individual Certificate described in a legend set forth on the face of such Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit F to this Agreement (the “Securities Legend”), and such transferee
agrees that it will transfer such Individual Certificate only as provided therein and herein. No such transfer shall be made and
the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with this Section
5.02(c)(iii).


 


(A)       Transfers
of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor will require delivery in the
form of an Individual Certificate and the Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions
of Section 5.02(c)(i)(C) of this Agreement.


 


(B)       Transfers
of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or a Regulation S Investor wishing
to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will be registered by the Certificate Registrar only upon compliance
with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(A) or (B) of this Agreement, respectively.


 


(C)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to an Individual Certificate pursuant
to Subparagraph (B) above shall be made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period.


 


Upon
acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate, as
provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Private Global Certificate (or
on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Private Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation
evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the Denomination of such Private Global Certificate equal to
the Denomination of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless determined otherwise
by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in accordance with applicable law, an Individual Certificate issued upon transfer
of or exchange for a beneficial interest in the Private Global Certificate shall bear the Securities Legend.


 


(iv)       Transfers
of Individual Certificates to the Private Global Certificates. If a Holder of an Individual Certificate wishes at any time
to transfer such Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related
Regulation S Global Certificate or the related Rule 144A Global Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures and this Section 5.02(c)(iv) (other than with respect to any Retained Certificate during
the Transfer Restriction Period, which shall be held as an Individual Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(j)). Upon receipt
by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of 



    -365-


     


    

 


(1) the Individual Certificate to be transferred with an assignment
and transfer pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, (2) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s
account a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate or such Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be,
in an amount equal to the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and, in the case of any transfer
pursuant to Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with such beneficial interest,
and (4) (x) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee and, if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Transfer Certificate from the transferor or (y) an Investment
Representation Letter from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer if delivery is
to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel such
Individual Certificate, execute and deliver a new Individual Certificate for the Denomination of the Individual Certificate not
so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s transferee (as instructed by the Holder), and the Certificate
Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation
S Global Certificate or the Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, by the Denomination of the Individual Certificate
to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions who, in
the case of any increase in the Regulation S Global Certificate during the Restricted Period, shall be an Agent Member acting
for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be, a corresponding Denomination of the Rule 144A Global
Certificate or the Regulation S Global Certificate, as the case may be.


 


It
is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional
Buyer take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate, other than the initial transfer from
the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor.


 


(v)        All
Transfers. An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate or Certificates, an
exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate and an exchange of an
Individual Certificate or Certificates for another Individual Certificate or Certificates (in each case, whether or not such exchange
is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificates, so long as the Global Certificates
remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of the Depository), may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02
and in accordance with the rules of the Depository and Applicable Procedures (other than with respect to any Retained Certificate
during the Transfer Restriction Period, which shall be held as an Individual Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(j)).


 


(d)       If
Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates not bearing the Securities Legend, the Certificates
so issued shall not bear the Securities Legend. If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates
bearing the Securities Legend, or if a request is made to remove the Securities Legend 



    -366-


     


    

 


on a Certificate, the Certificates so issued
shall bear the Securities Legend, or the Securities 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 (at the expense of the party
requesting the removal of such legend) familiar with United States securities laws, as may be reasonably required by the Certificate
Registrar, that neither the Securities Legend nor the restrictions on transfers set forth therein are required to ensure that
transfers of any Certificate comply with the provisions of Rule 144A, Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Act, the Risk Retention
Rule or that such Certificate is not a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act. Upon provision
of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and deliver a Certificate that does not bear the Securities
Legend.


 


(e)       Subject
to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in Section 5.01(i) and in this Section 5.02, the Holder of
any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (with a denomination equal to any authorized
denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of any transfer
agent appointed as provided under this Agreement, together with an instrument of assignment or transfer (executed by the Holder
or its duly authorized attorney), in the case of transfer, and a written request for exchange, in the case of exchange. Following
a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such request if made
at such office of the Certificate Administrator or within ten Business Days if made at the office of a transfer agent (other than
the Certificate Registrar), execute and deliver at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of such transfer
agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first-class
mail (at the risk of the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee
or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate
Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual
Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of a transfer agent
by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept
any request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period of 15 days preceding any Distribution
Date.


 


(f)       An
Individual Certificate (other than an Individual Certificate issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate
pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Agreement) or a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate may only be transferred
to Eligible Investors, as described herein. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge
that such an Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate is being held by or for the benefit
of a Person who is not an Eligible Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of a relevant jurisdiction, then
the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to void such transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the investor
to sell such Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate to an Eligible Investor within fourteen
days after notice of such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Certificate authorizes the Certificate
Registrar to take such action.


 


(g)       Subject
to the provisions of this Section 5.02 regarding transfer and exchange, transfers of the Global Certificates shall be limited
to transfers of such Global 



    -367-


     


    

 


Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository
or such successor’s nominee.


 


(h)       No
fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer
or exchange referred to in this Section 5.02 other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors, as provided
herein. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund
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 herein) 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.


 


(i)       Subject
to Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement, transfers of the Class S or Class R Certificates may be made only in accordance with
this Section 5.02(i). The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class R Certificate only if (x) the transferor
has advised the Certificate Registrar in writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer
and (y) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter. The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class S Certificate only if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate
Registrar in writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Affiliated Person or
an Institutional Accredited Investor and (y) prior to such transfer, the transferee has furnished to the Certificate Registrar
an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may
as a condition of the registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal opinions
or other information (at the transferor’s expense) as it may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is
being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and other
applicable laws.


 


(j)       No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class of Private Certificates or interest therein shall be made unless that
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Act and any
applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state securities laws. Neither the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar are obligated to register
or qualify the Private Certificates under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under
this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Private Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder
desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, against any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.


 


(k)       No
transfer of any Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S or Class R Certificate or the VRR
Interest (each, a “Restricted Certificate”) shall be made to (i) an employee benefit plan or other retirement
arrangement, including an individual retirement account or Keogh plan, which is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions
of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan, as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, or other plan subject to
any federal, state or local law (“Similar 



    -368-


     


    

 


Law”) which is to a material extent similar to the foregoing provisions
of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (ii) any person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets
of any such Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a Plan’s investment in the
entity (within the meaning of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than (except
with respect to the VRR Interest, the Class S Certificates or the Class R Certificates), an insurance company using the assets
of its general account under circumstances whereby such purchase and the subsequent holding of such Certificate by such insurance
company would be exempt from the “prohibited transaction” provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Code Section
4975 under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or, in the case of a plan subject to Similar Law, where the acquisition, holding
and disposition of such Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation under Similar Law. Except
in connection with the transfer thereof by the Depositor or a Retaining Party (provided that, in the case of a Retaining
Party, such exception shall apply only with respect to the transfer thereof on the Closing Date), each prospective transferee
of a Restricted Certificate shall either (A) deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator,
a transfer or representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 to this Agreement, stating that the prospective
transferee is not and will not become a Person referred to in (i) or (ii) above or (B) if the transferee is such an entity specified
in (i) or (ii) above (except in the case of a the VRR Interest, a Class S Certificate or a Class R Certificate, which may not
be transferred unless the transferee represents it is not such an entity), such entity, at its own expense, shall provide any
opinion of counsel, officers’ certificates or agreements as may be required by, and in form and substance satisfactory to,
the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the purchase and holding of the
Certificates by or on behalf of a Plan will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning
of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor, the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability.
Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall register a Class S or Class R Certificate in any Person’s
name unless such Person has provided the letter referred to in clause (A) of the preceding sentence. The transferee of a beneficial
interest in a Global Certificate that is a Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not and will not become
a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets of any Plan to acquire such interest other than (with respect
to transfers of beneficial interests in Global Certificates which are Restricted Certificates other than the VRR Interest, Class
S Certificates or the Class R Certificates) an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby
the purchase and holding by such insurance company would be exempt from the “prohibited transaction” provisions of
Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or, in the case of a plan subject
to Similar Law, where the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Restricted Certificate will not constitute a non-exempt
violation under Similar Law. Any transfer of a Restricted Certificate that would violate or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio.


 


Each
purchaser of Certificates that is a Plan subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”)
or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none
of the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee, 



    -369-


     


    

 


any Initial Purchaser, any Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any of their respective affiliated entities,
has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (and regulations thereunder) to the ERISA Plan,
or to any fiduciary or other person making the decision to invest the assets of the ERISA Plan (“Fiduciary”),
in connection with its acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating
the transaction.


 


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


 


(i)        Each
Person acquiring or holding any Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such 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 Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence
of this Section 5.02(l) 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 and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee
shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Ownership Interest as fully as possible.


 


(ii)       No
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 Ownership
Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require delivery to it in form and substance satisfactory
to it, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor an affidavit in substantially
the form attached as Exhibit C-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such
proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (i) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts
as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (ii) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of an Ownership
Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (iii) the proposed transferee intends
to pay taxes associated with holding the Ownership Interest as they become due, (iv) the proposed transferee will not transfer
the Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual

Neither
the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire

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


 


(m)      At
all times during the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of any Retained Certificate after the Closing Date is to be made,
then, upon receipt of: (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C-5, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion
stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-4 or Exhibit C-6, as applicable, which such certification must be countersigned

instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e), register the Transfer of the Retained Certificate
and reflect such Retained Certificate in the name of the prospective Transferee and shall deliver written confirmation substantially
in the form of Exhibit MM to this Agreement. The Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of any Retained Certificate
after the Closing Date during the Transfer Restriction Period unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. After
the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Retained Certificate is to be made and such Retained Certificate
is in Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, then upon receipt of: (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective
Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-5, which such certification must be countersigned by
the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-6, which such certification must
be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, the Certificate Administrator
(which may conclusively rely upon such certifications) shall instruct the Certificate Registrar to register such Transfer, and
upon receipt of the Certificate Administrator’s instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer of the
Retained Certificate and reflect such Retained Certificate in the name of the prospective Transferee. After the termination of
the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Retained Certificate is to be made and such Retained Certificate is in the
Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, the Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of such Retained Certificate unless
it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Retained Certificate be

a Retained Certificate that is not in compliance with this Section 5.02 shall be null and void ab initio to the
extent permitted under applicable law.

Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating
Agent shall execute and authenticate and the Certificate Registrar shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the corresponding interest in the Trust Fund, as

in verifying a Certificateholder’s or Certificate Owner’s identity in connection with a Communication Request. Requesting

expenses of the Certificate Administrator. Upon receipt of such request, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish or cause

of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive
in favor of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.


 


(b)       The
fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner
which the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee deems sufficient.


 


(c)       Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act by a Certificateholder shall bind every Holder
of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of

Section
5.08 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 Individual 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 Individual 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 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 5.08(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, retabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.


 



    -375-


     


    

 





(d)       Unless
otherwise paid for by any Holder pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, or clause (e) below, 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.

Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account and then, from the Collection Account, all in accordance with Section 3.06(a)
of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(c)       The
terms of this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of any party hereto or of this Agreement.


 


(d)       For
the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in this Agreement providing that the Trust Fund or a party
to this Agreement is required to indemnify another party to this Agreement for costs, fees and expenses, such costs, fees and
expenses shall include costs (including, but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of the enforcement
of such indemnity.


 


Section
6.04 Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor; Termination of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor. (a) Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Operating Advisor may assign their respective rights and delegate their respective duties and obligations under this Agreement
in connection with the sale or transfer of a substantial portion of their commercial mortgage servicing, asset management or (solely
with respect to the Operating Advisor) commercial mortgage surveillance, portfolio, provided that: (i) the purchaser or
transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance institution, bank or mortgage
servicing institution (or, in the case of the Operating Advisor, an Eligible Operating Advisor), organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to perform the duties of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor or a Person resulting from

each Rating Agency as confirmed in a Rating Agency Confirmation delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator relating

Administrator an agreement that contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable
under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement and (D) shall not be a Prohibited Party; (ii) the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior

    -380-


     


    

 


delegation under this Section 6.04; (iii) the rate
at which the Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation or Operating Advisor Fee, as applicable (or any component
thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating
Advisor, as applicable, shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto and the Rating Agencies
in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the
successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, hereunder.


 


(b)       Except
as provided in Section 6.02 of this Agreement and this Section 6.04, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and
the Operating Advisor shall not resign from its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination
that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, (ii) in connection with the assignment of rights and
delegation of duties as set forth in Section 6.04(a), or (iii) solely with respect to the Operating Advisor, pursuant to
Section 6.04(e). Any such determination described in clause (i) above permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the resigning
Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or Operating Advisor’s expense) to such effect delivered to the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator.


 


(c)       The
Trustee shall be permitted to remove the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon a Master Servicer Termination Event or Special
Servicer Termination Event, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the succeeding paragraph, no such removal shall
be effective unless and until (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has been paid any unpaid Servicing Compensation
or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, unreimbursed Advances (including Advance Interest Amounts thereon to which it
is entitled) and all other amounts to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is entitled hereunder to the extent such
amounts accrue prior to such effective date and (ii) with respect to a resignation by the Master Servicer, the successor Master
Servicer has deposited into the Investment Accounts from which amounts were withdrawn to reimburse the terminated Master Servicer,
an amount equal to the amounts so withdrawn, to the extent such amounts would not have been permitted to be withdrawn except pursuant
to this paragraph, in which case the successor Master Servicer shall, immediately upon deposit, have the same right of reimbursement
or payment as the terminated Master Servicer had immediately prior to its termination without regard to the operation of this
paragraph.


 


(d)       No
resignation or removal of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as contemplated by the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 6.04 shall become effective until (i) the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer
or Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning or terminated Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or Operating

filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09, (iii) any other information required under Section 10.03
or Section 10.09 has been delivered to any applicable Other Depositor with respect to any related Companion Loan, and (iv)
as to any resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that would
constitute a Reportable Event, upon at least 4 Business Days prior notice of the anticipated effective date of such event, the
Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or any other Person pursuing such resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation, as applicable, in 



    -381-


     


    

 


connection with
the Depositor’s or the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to file any related required Form 8-K relating to this
Trust on the anticipated effective date of such event. If no successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor
can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer
or Operating Advisor would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer
or Operating Advisor shall be treated as Realized Losses.


 


(e)       The
Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the Directing Holder, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and
the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. No such resignation
by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating
Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. 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 6.04(e).


 


Section
6.05 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Solely
with respect to their performance of their respective duties under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall afford the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights
and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations. Upon written request, the Master Servicer
and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator and the Trustee its most recent publicly available financial statements (or, with respect to the Master Servicer,
those of its ultimate parent) and such other non-proprietary information as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion as it possesses, which is relevant to the performance of its
duties hereunder and which it is not prohibited by applicable law or contract from disclosing. The Depositor may, but is not obligated
to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not
obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise any rights
of such Person hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. If the Depositor or its designee undertakes
any such action, it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Accounts (or with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan,
to the extent such reimbursement is allocable to such Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), as provided in Section 3.06
and Section 6.03(a) hereof to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer (solely with respect to any action or failure
to act by the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (solely with respect to any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer)
shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and
no such party is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement
or otherwise. 



    -382-


     


    

 


Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary
information pursuant to this Section.


 


Section
6.06 The Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owners of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the
Master Servicer, or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, may become the Holder (or with respect to a
Global Certificate, Certificate Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an
Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Certificate Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly
prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment,
violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s
good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
may, but will not be required to, seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action (or inaction) by delivering to the
Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies
the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an
Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action (or inaction) that
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take (or refrain from taking). The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt
of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer
and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably
determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding a majority of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders and, if no Control
Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the
Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates, as applicable) shall have consented in writing to
the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the
written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate
Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder,
except in the case of unusual circumstances.


 


Section
6.07 The Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor and the Risk Retention Consultation Party. (a) For so long as
no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect
to all Specially Serviced Loans (other than any applicable Excluded Loan), (2) the Special Servicer with respect to Performing
Loans (other than any applicable Excluded Loan or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to Special Servicer Major Decisions,
and (3) the Master Servicer with respect to Performing Loans (other than any Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder
or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to Master Servicer Major Decisions.


 


Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, this Section 6.07, with respect to
any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-



    -383-


     


    

 


Serviced Mortgage Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan, for
so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be permitted
to take any action that constitutes a Major Decision, and the Special Servicer shall not consent to the Master Servicer’s
taking any of the following actions that are Special Servicer Major Decisions, as to which the Directing Holder has objected in
writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 30 days) after receipt of a written
report by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail (i) the background and circumstances
requiring action of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) the proposed course of action recommended,
and (iii) all information reasonably requested by the Directing Holder, and reasonably available to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to grant or withhold such consent, which report may, if prepared by the Special Servicer,
in its sole discretion, take the form of an Asset Status Report (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”) (provided
that if such written objection has not been received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within
such 10-Business Day (or 30-day) period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved such action). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized
by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the matters described
in Section 6.07(a) (b) or (c) that requires the consent or consultation of the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor
or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, or any other matter requiring consent or consultation of the Directing Holder in this
Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related
Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholders constituted a single lender and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan with a related Subordinate Companion
Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of such Subordinate Companion Loan) and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation
Party, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for
the Directing Holder’s response.


 


If
a Control Termination Event is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder with respect
to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but shall consult with the Directing Holder in connection with any Major
Decision that it is processing or, in the case of the Special Servicer, any Asset Status Report (or any other matter for which
the consent of the Directing Holder would have been required or for which the Directing Holder would have the right to direct
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if no Control Termination Event was continuing) and to consider alternative actions
recommended by the Directing Holder in respect of such Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or such other matter). Such consultation
will not be binding on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, receives no response from the Directing Holder within 10 days following the Master Servicer’s or the Special
Servicer’s written request for input (which request shall include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required
consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing
Holder on the specific matter.


 



    -384-


     


    

 





(b)       In
addition, (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (other
than any applicable Excluded Loan with respect to the Risk Retention Consultation Party), and (ii) during the continuance of a
Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any applicable Excluded Loan with respect
to the Risk Retention Consultation Party), upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on a non-binding basis in connection with any Major
Decision that it is processing (and such other matters that are subject to the non-binding consultation rights of the Risk Retention
Consultation Party pursuant to this Agreement) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation
Party in respect of such Major Decision (or any other matter requiring consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Party);
provided that in the event the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Risk Retention
Consultation Party within 10 days following the later of (i) the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable,
written request for input on any requested consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information in the possession
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, reasonably requested by the Risk Retention Consultation Party related
to the subject matter of such consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated
to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure
of the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond will not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
from using reasonable efforts to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Party on any future matters with respect to the
applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Risk Retention
Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any related Excluded Loan and (y) any consultation with
the Risk Retention Consultation Party under this Agreement shall occur only upon request of the Risk Retention Consultation Party,
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 for such consultation set forth in this Section 6.07.


 


The
Risk Retention Consultation Party acting in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have liability to the
Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement, any Certificateholders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from
the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment.


 


(c)       During
the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the
Operating Advisor simultaneously with the Special Servicer’s written request for the Operating Advisor’s input regarding
the related Major Decision (which written request and Major Decision Reporting Package may be delivered in one notice), as set
forth below. During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, with respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related
Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Operating
Advisor, the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor a servicing officer with the relevant knowledge regarding
the Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating
Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.


 



    -385-


     


    

 





If
a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any
proposed Major Decision that it is processing as to which it has delivered to the Operating Advisor a Major Decision Reporting
Package (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor) and consider alternative actions
recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In
the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) days following the later of
(i) its written request for input on any required consultation (which request is required to include the related Major Decision
Reporting Package) and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related
to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor
on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific
matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to use reasonable efforts to consult with the Operating Advisor
on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer or the related
Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with
the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing or for which it must give its consent or for
which it must give its consent 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.


 


(d)       The
failure of any of the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond to any request
for consent or consultation shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer from using reasonable efforts to seek
the consent of or consult with, as applicable, the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation
Party on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.


 


In
addition, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder may direct the Special Servicer to take,
or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable or as
to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction
from the Directing Holder and no advice from the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor, and no objection
contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law, this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement or the
REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator
or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.


 


If
the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder, or any advice
from the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor, would otherwise cause the Special Servicer
or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, the
REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the 



    -386-


     


    

 


Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer,
as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation
Party or the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information
Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d)
of this Agreement) of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of,
or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval
of the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor that does not violate any law or the Servicing
Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreements will not result in any liability on the part
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, (i) at all times when no
Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to the rights of the “Non-Directing
Holder” (or similar term) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) at no time shall the Operating Advisor be entitled
to the rights of the “Non-Directing Holder” (or similar term) under the related Intercreditor Agreement.


 


The
Directing Holder shall have no liability to the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement, any Certificateholders or any other Person
for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided that the Directing
Holder 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 or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
or duties.


 


(e)       Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.07, (a) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that
constitutes a Major Decision with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, (b) the Special Servicer shall process all requests
for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision with respect to any Performing
Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have
the Master Servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer
and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, (c) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any
matter that constitutes a Master Servicer Major Decision with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan), (d) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision with
respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have
mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed
to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent and (e) the Master Servicer shall
process all requests for any matter that is not a Major Decision (other than any Special Servicer Non-Major Decision) without
any obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with any other person. Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes
a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed
to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s



    -387-


     


    

 





consent, the Master Servicer shall forward
such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no
further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision,
as applicable.


 


With
respect to any Borrower request or other action on Performing Loans that is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major
Decision, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer, the Directing
Holder or the Operating Advisor or the Risk Retention Consultation Party.


 


(f)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein (i) if a Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall have no
right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) if a Control Termination Event is continuing
but no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports
or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable
party shall consult with the Directing Holder in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent
set forth herein; and (iii) if a Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder shall have no consultation
or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, Voting Rights given
to all Certificateholders and rights to receive reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or
any other rights as Directing Holder.


 


(g)       The
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, may from time to time request that the Certificate
Administrator provide the name of the then-current Trust Directing Holder for any applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.
Upon such request, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such
request) provide the name of the then-current Trust Directing Holder to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
or the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current
Trust Directing Holder; provided that if the Certificate Administrator does not have actual knowledge of the identity of
the then-current Trust Directing Holder then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5)
Business Days following such request) (i) determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) request from the Controlling
Class Certificateholders the identity of the Trust Directing Holder. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information
shall be at the expense of the requesting party, except that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which
the Trust Directing Holder, has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared
by, the requesting party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection
with its obligation under this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Trust Directing Holder
and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Trust Directing Holder or reasonably believes that
the identity of the Trust Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust. The Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such information so
provided.


 


To
the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has written notice of any change in the identity of a Trust Directing Holder
or the list of Holders (or Certificate Owners, if 



    -388-


     


    

 


applicable) of the Controlling Class, then the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer thereof, who may rely conclusively on such notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable.


 


(h)       DBNY
shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Party and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention
Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1H
to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party. The parties hereto shall be entitled
to assume that the Risk Retention Consultation Party has not changed absent such notice.


 


(i)       Once
the Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable)
shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless DBNY shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Holder of the VRR Interest, in writing, of the selection of
such new Risk Retention Consultation Party (including the new contact information).


 


(j)       Each

the applicable Holder of the VRR Interest; (iii) does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Classes of Certificates
other than the Holder of the VRR Interest related to the Risk Retention Consultation Party; (iv) may take actions that favor interests
of the Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates (including the VRR Interest) over the interests of the Holders of one or
more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) shall have no liability whatsoever 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.


 


Section
6.08 Rights of Non-Directing Holders. With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, shall:


 


(a)       consult
with the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent that
such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) requests consultation with respect to any “major decision”
or “major action” set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions
outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Serviced Whole Loan, and to consider alternative actions recommended by such
Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business
Days from the delivery to the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) of written notice of a proposed
action, together with copies of the related notice, information or report, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall no longer be obligated to consult with the applicable Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) (unless the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, 



    -389-


     


    

 


as applicable, proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action
previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery
of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holder,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any “major decision” or “major action”
set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the
aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate
action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Noteholder.
Unless specified otherwise in the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be
obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the Non-Directing Holder; and


 


(b)       in
addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, if provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Non-Directing
Holder shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

of being cured and the Master Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30-day period will be extended an additional 30
days;


 


(iv)     a
decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under
any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator,
trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar

    -391-


     


    

 





(vii)    KBRA
(or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency) has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn
its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates or one or more classes of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, or
(B) placed one or more Classes of Certificates or one or more classes of Serviced Companion Loan Securities on “watch status”
in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status”
placement shall not have been withdrawn by KBRA (or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating
Agency) within sixty (60) days of such event) and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), publicly citing
servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;


 


(viii)   the
Master Servicer is no longer rated at least “CMS3” or “CSS3”, respectively, by Fitch and such Master Servicer
is not reinstated to at least that rating within sixty (60) days of the delisting;


 


(ix)      the
Master Servicer is removed from S&P’s Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer and is not
restored to such status on such list within sixty (60) days; or


 


(x)       subject
to Section 10.16(c), any failure by the Master Servicer to deliver (a) any Exchange Act reporting items required to be
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under Article X by the time required under
Article X or (b) any Exchange Act reporting items that a primary servicer, sub-servicer or Servicing Function Participant

provision of this clause (x)), which failure, with respect to clauses (a) and (b), (other than in the case of Form 8-K
reporting requirements) is not remedied within three (3) Business Days;


 


then,
and in each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may,
and at the written direction of (x) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates or (y) the

case of clause (vii), (viii) or (ix), the Certificate Administrator shall be required to notify Certificateholders and Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders of such Master Servicer Termination Event and request whether such Certificateholders and, if applicable,
Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders favor such termination.


 


If
the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01(a),
then the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.


 



    -392-


     


    




If
the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under this Section 7.01(a) solely due to a Master Servicer Termination
Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii), (viii) or (ix) and if the Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the
appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days following such termination notice, then
the Master Servicer shall continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance
with this Section 7.01(a). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, the Trustee shall promptly
thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for
the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified
to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and 7.02 of this Agreement (any such Person
so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many
persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that, at the Trustee’s request, the Master Servicer
shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the
Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage
Loans and Serviced Companion Loans under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below),
as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof,
within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The materials provided to the Trustee shall provide for
soliciting bids: (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all Sub-Servicers to continue the primary servicing
of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and entering
into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to service each of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion
Loans for which it was the Master Servicer and not subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a cashiering Sub-Servicer at a sub-servicing
fee rate per annum equal to, for each Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan serviced, the Primary Servicing Fee Rate
(each, a “Servicing Retained Bid”); and (ii) on the basis of terminating each Sub-Servicing Agreement and Sub-Servicer
that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement (each, a “Servicing Released
Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing Retained Bid (or, if none, the
highest cash Servicing Released Bid from any Person qualified to act as a Master Servicer) (the “Successful Bidder”)
to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.30 of this Agreement with respect to such Successful Bidder, then
the Trustee shall repeat the bid process described above (but subject to the above described 45 day time period) until such Rating
Agency Confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master
Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof no later than 45 days after notice of the termination of the Master Servicer; provided
that the initial Master Servicer may request and obtain, with the prior written consent of the Directing Holder, an additional
20 days for such sale and assumption to be completed so long as the initial Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate stating that the sale and assumption of the right to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans cannot
be completed in the initial 45-day period and specifying the reasons therefor.


 


Upon
the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement)
to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted (i) if the successful bid was a Servicing Retained
Bid, to the Master 



    -393-


     


    

 


Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a), the amount of such cash bid received from
the Successful Bidder (net of “out of pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring
servicing) and (ii) if the successful bid was a Servicing Released Bid, to the Master Servicer and each terminated Sub-Servicer
its respective Bid Allocation.


 


The
Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) shall be responsible for all out of pocket expenses incurred
in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, which expenses are
not reimbursed to the party that incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.


 


If
the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above described time period
or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to
Section 7.01(a) of this Agreement shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out of pocket” expenses incurred
by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(a).
The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02
of this Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article VII, if the Master Servicer shall timely deliver the notice and request for proposal
materials referred to in the fourth preceding paragraph, no resignation or termination of the Master Servicer shall be effective
in connection with a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii), (viii) or (ix) of this
Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall continue to perform as such and to collect the servicing fee until the conclusion of
the process described in this clause (a).


 


(b)       “Special

continues unremedied for one Business Day, or any failure by the Special Servicer to remit to Master Servicer for deposit into,
the Collection Account (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account) any amount
required to be so remitted by the Special Servicer pursuant to, and at the time specified by, the terms of this Agreement; provided
that the failure of the Special Servicer to remit such amount to the Master Servicer shall not be a Special Servicer Termination
Event if such failure is remedied within two Business Days and if the Special Servicer has compensated the Master Servicer for
any loss of income (at the Reimbursement Rate) on such amount suffered by the Master Servicer due to and caused by the late remittance
of the Special Servicer and reimburse the Trust for any resulting Advance Interest Amount due to the Master Servicer;


 


(ii)       any
failure on the part of the Special Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or obligations

a report on Form 10-K is required to be filed, five (5) Business Days in the case of the Special Servicer’s obligations
contemplated by Article X (except as otherwise provided under clause (x) of this definition of “Special Servicer
Termination Event”), or (B) 45 days in the case of failure to pay the premium for any insurance policy required to be force
placed 



    -394-

an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder; provided that, if such failure is capable of being cured and the Special
Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30- or 45-day period, as applicable, will be extended an additional 30 days; provided,
further, however, that such extended period will not apply to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated
by Article X;


 


(iii)     any
breach on the part of the Special Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in Section 2.04(b) of this Agreement,
which materially and adversely affects the interests of any Certificateholders or Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders and which
continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given (a) to the Special Servicer by any party hereto, or (b) to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Depositor and the Trustee (x) by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25% of such Class or (y) by an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder; provided that, if such breach is capable
of being cured and the Special Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30-day period will be extended an additional 30
days;


 


(iv)     a
decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under
any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator,
trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, 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 Special Servicer and such
decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;


 


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


 


(vii)    the
Special Servicer is no longer rated at least “CSS3” by Fitch and such Special Servicer is not reinstated to at least
that rating within 60 days of the delisting;


 



    -395-


     


    

 





(viii)   KBRA
(or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency) has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn
its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates or one or more classes of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, or
(B) placed one or more Classes of Certificates or one or more classes of Serviced Companion Loan Securities on “watch status”

then,
and in each and every such case, so long as a Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may,
and at the written direction of (x) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates, (y) for so
long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, or (z) the Depositor with respect to clause (ii) above

Section 7.01(a), (i) if any Master Servicer Termination Event occurs that affects a Serviced Companion Loan and the Master
Servicer is not otherwise terminated or (ii) if an NRSRO engaged to rate a Serviced Companion Loan Security qualifies, downgrades

is then sub-servicing such Serviced Whole Loan, to appoint a new sub-servicer to service such Serviced Whole Loan, but only if
such existing sub-servicer is in default after any applicable cure periods under the related sub-servicing agreement, and the
Master Servicer shall be permitted to terminate the sub-servicing agreement due to such default) with respect all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement related to such Serviced Whole Loan. The Master Servicer shall appoint

or withdraws its rating of such Serviced Companion Loan Security, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer
as the sole or a material factor in such rating action and that rating action is not withdrawn within 60 days, then the Trustee,
at the direction of the Companion Loan Noteholder, shall terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole
Loan only, but no other Mortgage Loan.


 


(e)       If
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee (the “Terminating
Party”) shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated
Party”), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party has to Excess Servicing Fees, any rights it has hereunder as a Certificateholder
and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued
or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such
amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right
to the benefits of Section 6.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination), and with respect to the Special
Servicer, the right to receive any Workout Fee subsequent to its termination as Special Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.12(c)
of this Agreement. No successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to such Workout Fee received by the terminated Special
Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder if and
to the extent that it is a Certificateholder), the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and
be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Terminating Party is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact
or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate
to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree in the event it is terminated
pursuant to this Section 7.01 to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice)
provide, at 



    -397-


     


    

 


its own expense, the Terminating Party with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable
the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its
responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation,
the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or the Terminating Party, as applicable, for administration
by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
to the Collection Account, the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, any REO Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund,
any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, Lock-Box Account or Cash Collateral Account or which shall thereafter be received with respect
to the Mortgage Loans, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or successor Special
Servicer (which may include the Trustee) all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be
provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request
(including electronic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder.
All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party (including the cost of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation and any
applicable indemnity) or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer incurred in connection with transferring
the Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession
as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.
If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or the successor
Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such
expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its
liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the Terminated Party has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the Terminating
Party shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust Fund.


 


In
no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of, or be aware of, any Master Servicer
Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator,
as the case may be, has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.


 


No
removal or replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as contemplated by this Agreement shall become effective
until (i) the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the resigning or terminated Master
Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder, (ii) the Certificate
Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09, (iii) any other information required under
Section 10.03 or Section 10.09 has been delivered to any applicable Other Depositor with respect to any related
Companion Loan, and (iv) as to any resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer that would constitute a Reportable Event, upon at least 4 Business Days prior notice of the anticipated effective date
of such event, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or any other Person pursuing such resignation, removal, succession, merger or consolidation, as applicable, in
connection with the 



    -398-


     


    

 


Depositor’s or the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to file any related required Form 8-K
relating to this Trust on the anticipated effective date of such event.


 


Section
7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. Upon the receipt of a notice of termination by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement, the Terminating Party (subject to Section 7.01(a)
and Section 7.01(c)) shall be its successor, until a successor is appointed by the Directing Holder as provided in this
Section 7.02 or Section 3.22(b), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject
to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, provided that (i) the Terminating Party shall
have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s
failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or monies shall not be considered a termination
event for such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified
to the full extent provided to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Master
Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special
Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to
its termination as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations
and warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions
of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan
or any Serviced Companion Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Master Servicer or successor
Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Compensation or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession
to which such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if such predecessor Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. If any Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall
at any time be outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances
and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Trustee (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon),
until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to so act, or shall if it is unable to so act or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to (i) in the case of the Master Servicer,
at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (or, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder),
or (ii) in the case of the Special Servicer, at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (or, for so long as no Control Termination
Event is continuing, the Directing Holder), so request in writing to the Trustee, or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, if
an affected Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder so requests in writing to the Trustee, or if the Trustee is not an “approved”
servicer by any of the Rating Agencies for mortgage pools similar to the Trust Fund, promptly appoint, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution that, for so long as no Control Termination
Event is continuing, has been 



    -399-


     


    

 


approved by the Directing Holder (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case
of the appointment of a successor Master Servicer) to act as the successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Certificates
and any Serviced Companion Loan Securities. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder
shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities,
duties and liabilities hereunder, which appointment has been approved, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, by the Directing
Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special
Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so
acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special
Servicer, the Trustee shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Loans
or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted
to the Terminated Party hereunder, unless no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such
Terminated Party hereunder, in which case additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that
permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses and VRR Realized Losses. Any successor Special Servicer shall
be subject to the rights of the Directing Holder under Section 3.22(b) of this Agreement. The Depositor, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary
to effectuate any such succession.


 


If
the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer,
it may reduce the Master Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that it’s or such Affiliate’s compensation
as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint
a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02,
it may reduce the Master Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion
of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section
7.02.


 


Section
7.03 Notification to Certificateholders and Other Persons. (a) Upon its receipt of written notice of any termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website
pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and to each Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholder at its address appearing in the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register.


 


(b)       Within
30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event (or any analogous servicer termination event under any Other Pooling
and Servicing Agreement relating to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan), Operating Advisor Termination Event or Asset 



    -400-


     


    

 


Representations
Reviewer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall transmit by mail
to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (who shall then notify all Holders of Certificates), the 17g-5 Information Provider
(who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this
Agreement), and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, notice of such Servicer Termination Event, Operating Advisor Termination
Event or Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event, Operating Advisor Termination
Event or Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.


 


Section
7.04 Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as the Servicer
Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01 of this
Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name as Trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing
at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies,
of the Certificateholders and, in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan, of the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim
and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, such amounts
shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor Agreement). Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy
shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event.


 


Section
7.05 Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Operating Advisor Termination Events; Termination. The Holders
of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates may, together with each affected
Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (to the extent they are adversely affected by such Servicer Termination Event or Operating
Advisor Termination Event, as applicable), on behalf of all Holders of Certificates waive any termination event with respect to
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
except a termination event with respect to making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I
Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution
Account, or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past
termination event, such termination event shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination
Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other termination event or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Master Servicer
Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(ii) (to the extent such Master Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations
regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by Article X) or Section 7.01(a)(x) or a Special Servicer Termination
Event under Section 7.01(b)(ii) (to the extent such Special Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding
Exchange Act reporting contemplated by Article X) or Section 7.01(b)(x) of this 



    -401-


     


    

 


Agreement may be waived only with
the consent of the Depositor and each affected Other Depositor.


 


Section
7.06 Trustee as Maker of Advances. If the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any
Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five Business Days of the Master
Servicer Termination Event resulting from such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances to the extent
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by 12:00
noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Trustee’s receipt
of notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.07(a) of this Agreement unless the Trustee has received notice that such failure
has been cured by 11:00 a.m. on such Distribution Date. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall
succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master
Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that
a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by
the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder); provided that if Advances made by the Trustee
and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts
available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the
Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement
of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect
to a Nonrecoverable Advance or any determination of nonrecoverability in connection therewith by the Master Servicer hereunder.


 


Section
7.07 Termination of the Operating Advisor. (a) An “Operating Advisor Termination Event” means any
one of the following events whether any such event 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 Operating Advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material
breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period
of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Operating Advisor by any party hereto or to the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders
of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights; provided that with respect to any such failure
which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Operating Advisor shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days
to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30-day period and has provided the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing
to pursue, such cure;


 


(ii)       any
failure by the Operating Advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied

writing to the Operating Advisor by any party to this Agreement;


 



    -402-


     


    

 





(iii)      any
failure by the Operating Advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given in writing to the
Operating Advisor 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 Operating Advisor, and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;


 


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


 


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


 


Upon
receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate
Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders electronically by posting such notice on the Certificate
Administrator’s Website and by mail, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied.
If an Operating Advisor Termination Event has occurred then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Operating Advisor
Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating
Advisor under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination, including the right to receive
all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring
prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify
the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Operating Advisor Termination Event of which the Depositor has actual knowledge.


 


The
holders of Voting Rights representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event hereunder
may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator
of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event,
such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder.
Upon 



    -403-


     


    

 


any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to
such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.


 


(b)       With
respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 15%
of the aggregate Voting Rights requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating
Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable
fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate
Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Operating Advisor and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting
such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) mail at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights that exercise their right

rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under
this Agreement and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by written notice
to the Operating Advisor, and the proposed successor operating advisor will be appointed. The provisions set forth in the foregoing
sentences of this Section 7.07(b) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the
Trustee as between each other. The Operating Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach
or alleged breach of such provisions other than may arise, as a result of the failure to comply with the above described voting
procedures. As between the Operating Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders
shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Operating Advisor.

on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the

and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Operating Advisor 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 15 Business Days after (1)
the Operating Advisor resigns pursuant to Section 6.04(a) of this Agreement or (2) the Certificate Administrator delivers
such written notice of termination to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Certificates appoint a successor Operating Advisor that is

    -404-


     


    

 


successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee and shall be the proposed
Operating Advisor in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.07(b) of this Agreement; provided that if the
Trustee is acting as the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates
shall be the successor Operating Advisor. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of a successor Operating
Advisor to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator (and the Certificate Administrator shall

Certificates appoint a successor Operating Advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 7.07(c), which successor

the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
which is not incidental to its respective duties as Trustee or Certificate Administrator in accordance with this Agreement (and,
if it does, all legal expenses and costs of such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any
Whole Loan, any such costs and expenses shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor
Agreement), and the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled, as provided in Section 3.06
hereof, to be reimbursed therefor from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (and with respect to any Serviced Whole
Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account) or the Distribution Account and identified on the Trust Ledger, unless
such legal action arises out of the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, or any
breach of a representation or warranty of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, contained herein; and


 


(vi)     Neither
the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be charged with knowledge of any act, failure to act or breach of any Person
upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to act, unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such act, failure or breach. Neither
the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the Master Servicer’s or the Special
Servicer’s failure to provide scheduled reports, certificates and statements when and as required to be delivered to the
Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement.

may be, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby, provided that nothing contained herein shall

as is specified herein) of the Percentage Interests of each affected Class; provided that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, 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, as the case may
be, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, by the security afforded to it
by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may require indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it from such requesting Holders against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action.

of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;


 


(viii)    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
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;

rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator,
may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding

Administrator (in the case of the Trustee only), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator only), the Master Servicer

in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to
it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor Master Servicer) or to record this Agreement. In making any calculation
hereunder which includes as a component thereof the payment or distribution of interest for a stated period at a stated rate “to
the extent permitted by applicable law,” the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall assume
that such payment is so permitted unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may
be, has actual knowledge, or receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person asserting the impermissibility) to the
effect, that such payment is not permitted by applicable law. The Depositor is not obligated to monitor or supervise the performance
of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.

Distribution Date, prior to the distribution of amounts to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to withdraw and pay the Trustee and itself its respective portion of the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, as reasonable

arising from the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to the compensation
to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been entitled (other than the rights of the
Special Servicer to receive any Workout Fee specified in Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement if the Special Servicer is terminated).


 


(c)       The

reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator
pursuant to and in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses
and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), which the Certificate Administrator will be
entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Accounts prior to the distribution to Certificateholders to the extent set forth herein
and to the extent such payments are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(iii) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith; provided that, subject to the last paragraph of Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(iii)
of this Agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall not refuse to perform any of their respective
duties hereunder solely as a result of the failure to be paid their respective portion of the Certificate Administrator/Trustee
Fee, or the Trustee’s, Custodian’s or Certificate Administrator’s previously-incurred expenses, as applicable.
The term “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” shall include any fees, expenses and disbursement of any separate
Trustee or co-Trustee appointed hereunder, only to the extent such fees, expenses and disbursements were not reasonably anticipated
as of the Closing Date and are attributable to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC and the losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred or advanced by an Indemnified Party in connection with
any litigation arising out of this Agreement attributable to the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust,
including, without limitation, under Section 2.03, Section 3.10, the third paragraph of Section 3.11, Section

of negligent disregard of its respective obligations and duties hereunder (including in the case of the Master Servicer, any agent
of the Master Servicer or sub-servicer).

Trust Fund shall indemnify each Indemnified Party and the Custodian from, and hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities,

the Indemnified Party or the Custodian, as applicable, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
(ii) by reason of its negligent disregard of those obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation
or warranty of the Indemnified Party or the Custodian, as applicable, made in this Agreement and (iii) as to which such Indemnified
Party or the Custodian, as applicable, is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(d). The right of reimbursement
of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 8.05(d) shall be senior to the rights of all Certificateholders.


 


For
the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in this Agreement providing that the Trust or a party to
this Agreement is required to indemnify another party to this Agreement for costs, fees and expenses, such costs, fees and expenses
are intended to include costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of the enforcement
of such indemnity.


 


(e)       Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination or maturity of this Agreement or the resignation,
removal or termination of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, regarding rights accrued prior to
such resignation, removal or termination and (with respect to any acts or omissions during its respective tenures) the resignation,
removal or termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate

the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, all Certificateholders, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer,
the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider

Agreement). Upon notice of resignation from the Trustee, the Depositor shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly appoint
a successor trustee, the appointment of which is subject to the requirements contained in Section 8.06 of this Agreement
and shall be, if no Control Termination Event is continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Directing Holder. Upon notice of resignation
from the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor certificate administrator, the appointment
of which is subject to the requirements contained in Section 8.06 of this Agreement. If no successor trustee or certificate
administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation,

If
at any time the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section
8.06 of this Agreement and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, or
if at any time the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be (or of its property), shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be (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 (other than by reason of the failure of either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
to timely perform its obligations hereunder or as a result of other circumstances beyond the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s,
as applicable, reasonable control), 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 the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, and the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor acceptable to the Master Servicer by written instrument, which shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator, as the case may be, so removed and to the successor.

with 30 days’ prior written notice), remove the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and appoint a successor by written
instrument or instruments, in eight originals, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, 



    -417-


     


    

 


one complete
set of which instruments shall be delivered to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating
Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the successor trustee or certificate
administrator, as applicable.


 


In
addition, if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated without cause, the terminating party shall pay all of
the expenses of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, necessary to affect the transfer of its responsibilities
to the successor.


 


If
the Trustee is terminated or removed pursuant to this Section 8.07, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and in and to the Mortgage Loans shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such
termination or removal (including the right to receive all fees, expenses, indemnities, and other amounts accrued or owing to
it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Reimbursement Rate on all such amounts until received to the extent such amounts
bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination or removal).

under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior
to the date of such termination or removal (including the right to receive all fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts accrued
or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination or removal) and (ii) such resignation,
termination, or removal shall be effective with respect to each of its other capacities hereunder except its capacity as Custodian

(a) the outgoing Trustee, at its own expense without right to reimbursement therefor, shall (A) 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 Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2021-B26 or in blank, and (B) in the case of the other assignable Loan Documents (to the extent such other Loan Documents were

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 deliver such Mortgage Note to the successor
trustee and the Custodian 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 trustee, as trustee for the registered Holders of
Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B26 or in blank. If any assignable
Loan Document (other than the Mortgage Note) was not assigned to the outgoing Trustee or if the Trustee is removed pursuant to
Section 8.07 without cause, with respect to the Loan Documents identified in 



    -418-

Holder, (ii) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination
Event, after consultation with the Directing Holder and the Operating Advisor and (iii) during the continuance of a Consultation

Section
8.08 Successor Trustee and Certificate Administrator. (a) Any successor trustee or certificate administrator shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator (or in the case of a successor certificate administrator, to the predecessor Certificate Administrator)
and the Trustee, as the case may be, instruments accepting their appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall become effective and such successor, 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, as applicable, herein; provided
that such successor shall satisfy the requirements contained in Section 8.06 of this Agreement and the Certificate
Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.09. The predecessor Trustee or Certificate
Administrator, as applicable, shall deliver to its successor all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall execute and deliver
such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
the successor all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor trustee or certificate administrator, as the case
may be, shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 of this Agreement.


 


Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the
succession of such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If
the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be so mailed at the expense of the Depositor.


 


(b)       Any
successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Agreement shall satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.06
hereof.


 


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


 


Section
8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Certificate Administrator. Any Person into which the Trustee or the
Certificate Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which 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 the case 



    -419-


     


    

 


may be, hereunder; provided
that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 of this Agreement 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 Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the other parties hereto of any such event, and the
Certificate Administrator shall post notice of such merger or consolidation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in
accordance with Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement and provide notice of such event to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who
shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).


 


Section
8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 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 may at the time be located, or for enforcement actions, or where a conflict of interest exists, the Depositor 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 (at the expense of the Trust) 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
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall
be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. Except as required by applicable law, the appointment
of a co-Trustee or separate Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities hereunder.
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 hereof.


 


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 (it being understood that such separate Trustee or co-Trustee is not authorized
to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder),
the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
by such separate Trustee or co-Trustee solely at the direction of the Trustee.


 


No
Trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement.
The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or co-Trustee,
or if the separate Trustee or co-Trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of
or remove any separate Trustee or co-Trustee.


 


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 



    -420-


     


    

 


of them. Every instrument appointing any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall
refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
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. In no event shall any such separate Trustee or co-Trustee
be entitled to any provision relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to such separate Trustee
or co-Trustee that imposes a standard of conduct less stringent than that imposed by the Trustee hereunder, affording greater
protection than that afforded to the Trustee hereunder or providing a greater limit on liability than that provided to the Trustee
hereunder.


 


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.

Section
9.01 Termination. (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created
hereby with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments
and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment)
to the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required hereunder to be so paid on the Distribution Date
following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance
with Section 9.01(c) of this Agreement; (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of this Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the
last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to this Agreement
of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador

For
purposes of this Section 9.01, the Sole Certificateholder shall have the first option to terminate the Trust Fund, pursuant

the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, in that order, shall have the option to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection
(c). For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Holder with the consent of the 



    -421-


     


    

 


Holders of the Controlling Class,
shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust Fund and terminating the Trust.


 


(b)       The
Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be terminated and the assets of the Trust Fund shall be sold or
otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, only pursuant to a “plan of complete liquidation” within the meaning
of Section 860F(a)(4)(A) of the Code providing for the actions contemplated by the provisions hereof and pursuant to which the
applicable Notice of Termination is given, and requiring that the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall
terminate on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation.
For purposes of this Section 9.01(b), the Notice of Termination given pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of this Agreement
shall constitute the adoption of the plan of complete liquidation as of the date such notice is given, which date shall be specified
by the Certificate Administrator in the final federal income tax returns of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. Notwithstanding
the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible
for filing the final Tax Returns for each such Trust REMIC and the Grantor Trust for the period ending with such termination,
and shall retain books and records with respect to such Trust REMICs and the Grantor Trust for the same period of retention for
which it maintains its own tax returns or such other reasonable period. The Trustee shall sign all Tax Returns and other reports
required by this Section.


 


(c)       The
Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interest of the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder exercises
such option, the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may effect an
early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special
Servicer and the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination
Notice Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and
the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal
to the sum of, without duplication:


 


(i)       100%
of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated
Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);


 


(ii)       the
fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated
Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days
prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;


 


(iii)     all
unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage Loan as to which title to the related
Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination
Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and


 



    -422-


     


    

 





(iv)     the
aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation,
Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual
Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.


 


If
the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Controlling Class, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer purchases all of the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
Fund in accordance with this Section 9.01(c), the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the
Controlling Class, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account,
as applicable, not later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the Anticipated Termination 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) of
this Agreement, which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to
the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, as applicable, all amounts required to be transferred
thereto on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account, together with any other amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation by the Master Servicer in writing that
it has transferred all such amounts to the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the
Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Controlling Class, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements
and other instruments furnished to it by such purchasing party as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans
and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated
in accordance with this Article IX.


 


For
purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Holder 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 Fund and terminating the Trust.


 


As
a condition to the purchase of the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c), the purchaser shall deliver
to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, which shall be at the expense of such purchaser, stating
that such termination will be a “qualified liquidation” under Section 860F(a)(4)(A) of the Code. All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to this Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and
other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights
hereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an
Independent appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).


 


(d)       If
the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator
shall determine as soon as practicable the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Administrator reasonably anticipates, based
on information with respect to the Mortgage Loans previously provided to it, that the final distribution will be made to the Holders
of outstanding Certificates and the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular 



    -423-


     


    

 


Interests, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient
to distribute in full the Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates, together with amounts required to be distributed
on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement; provided that, if no such Classes of Certificates
are then outstanding, the final distribution shall be made (i) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class
LTR Interest) of any amount remaining in the Collection Accounts, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, and (ii) to the Holders
of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UTR Interest) of any amount remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account.


 


(e)       Notice
of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Certificate Administrator to
Certificateholders (with a copy to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Operating
Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder (if any) and the 17g-5 Information
Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d)
of this Agreement)), at their addresses shown in the Certificate Registrar not more than 30 days, and not less than ten days,
prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to Certificateholders shall:


 


(i)       specify
the Anticipated Termination Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of Certificates of the Classes
specified therein;


 


(ii)      specify
the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and


 


(iii)     state
that the final distribution to Certificateholders will be made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office
of the Paying Agent therein specified.


 


If
the Trust Fund is not terminated on any Anticipated Termination Date for any reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly
mail notice thereof to each Certificateholder.


 


(f)       Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall
be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall
terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator
shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator
may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of
the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and
the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its
termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and
(ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue
or be 



    -424-


     


    

 


payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01. Any amounts remaining in the Excess Interest
Distribution Account representing Excess Interest shall be distributed to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates.


 


(g)       Following
the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount and the Class X-D Notional Amount, and the aggregate
Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class
D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding
Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in
the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no
later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; provided that such Sole Certificateholder pays to the Certificate
Administrator as additional compensation an amount equal to one day of interest calculated at the Prime Rate on the aggregate
Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates as of the first day of the current calendar month and such Sole Certificateholder
pays to the Master Servicer as additional compensation an amount equal to (i) the product of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the aggregate
Certificate Balance of the then outstanding Certificates (other than any Class of Class X Certificates, the Class S Certificates
and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (c) three, divided by (ii) 360, for the Mortgage Loans and any
REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund and such payments shall be treated as made by the Sole Certificateholder directly to
the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer and not through or by either of the Trust REMICs. If the Sole Certificateholder
elects to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder,
not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection
Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee hereunder through the date of the liquidation
of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties
hereto, pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Accounts pursuant
to Section 3.06(g) of this Agreement, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection
Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Certificate Administrator
for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on such Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.05 of this Agreement. Upon confirmation from the Certificate Administrator that such final deposits have been made and following
the surrender of all the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) on the final Distribution
Date to the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release
to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trustee 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 Fund shall be liquidated
in accordance with this Article IX. The remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties are deemed distributed to the Sole
Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Article IX. Solely for federal income tax purposes,
the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed 



    -425-


     


    

 


to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining
Certificate Balance of its Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates), plus accrued, unpaid interest with
respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of the Lower-Tier
Regular Interests and such Certificates.

duties of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement will terminate, without cost or expense to the Operating Advisor, upon termination
of the Trust Fund.

that includes a Serviced Companion Loan), the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in reasonable good faith for delivery of
information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations

advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee,

AB as to such party which shall be reported if actually known by any Servicing Officer or Responsible Officer, as the case may
be or any lawyer in the in house legal department of such party), in EDGAR Compatible Format, or in such other format as otherwise

does not receive a response from the Depositor by such time the Depositor will be deemed to have consented to the inclusion of
such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure. Other than to the extent provided for in clause (iii) above, the Certificate Administrator
has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Schedule IV of their duties
under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information. The
Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees assessed and any expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection
with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D or (in the case of asset-level information required by Item 1A
on Form 10-D) Form ABS-EE with respect to the Trust pursuant to this paragraph.


 


After

on the 15th calendar day after the related Distribution Date or (ii) if agreed to prior to the time set forth in clause (i) above,
such other time as the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator mutually agree is permitted by the Commission for the filing
such Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Certificate
Administrator shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 10.10(b). After filing with the Commission, the Certificate
Administrator shall, pursuant to Section 4.02(b), make available on the Certificate Administrator’s website a final
executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Certificate Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 10.06 related to the timely preparation
and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties (and any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant) observing
all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 10.06. The Certificate Administrator shall
have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file
such Form 10-D where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely




    -433-


     


    

 


basis any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting

Administrator shall be deemed to have notice of such failure (only with respect to Exchange Act reports prepared or required to
be prepared and filed by the Certificate Administrator) without being notified by the Depositor; provided, further,
that in connection with the delivery of any notice contemplated by this sentence, the Depositor may instruct the Certificate Administrator
that such notice shall be effective for a period (not to exceed 12 months) from the date of such notice, in which case no further
notice from the Depositor shall be required during such specified period. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely
on such notifications in preparing, executing and/or filing any Form 10-D.

day after the related Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing (which may be furnished
electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D and Form ABS-EE, respectively, and an officer of the Depositor

of this Agreement. Promptly after filing with the Commission, the Certificate Administrator will make available on its internet

Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive approved Form
8-K Disclosure Information within the applicable timeframes set forth in this Section 10.09 and not resulting from the

Administrator shall promptly notify (which notice (which may be sent by fax or by email notwithstanding the provisions of Section
12.04) shall include the identity of those Reporting Servicers who either did not deliver such information or delivered such
information to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement) the Depositor and each Reporting Servicer that failed

as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator shall, upon
receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure

and such other parties as needed and such parties shall cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A
or Form 10-K/A. In the event that any Reporting Servicer receives notice from the applicable parties to any Other Securitization

of any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A. Any Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D,
Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K shall be signed by the Depositor. The parties to this agreement acknowledge that the performance by the
Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 10.10 related to the timely preparation and filing of a Form
12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K is contingent upon the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Depositor performing their duties under this Section. The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 12b-25
or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s
inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, not resulting from its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

    -445-


     


    

 





Promptly
after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance, (i) the Depositor (and any Other Depositor for any Other Securitization
that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) shall have the right to review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the

address the Relevant Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth on Schedule II and notify the Depositor (and each Other
Depositor for an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) of any exceptions; provided that the Certificate
Administrator shall not be responsible for confirming whether any such party has certified to all the Relevant Servicing Criteria
applicable to it. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee,
the Operating Advisor or any Servicing Function Participant shall be required to deliver, or to endeavor to cause the delivery

The
parties hereto acknowledge that a material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria reported on an assessment
of compliance pursuant to this Section 10.12 by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator,
the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Custodian shall not, as a result of being so reported, in and of itself, constitute
a breach of such parties’ obligations or a Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event, as applicable,
under this Agreement unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement.


 


For
so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
serviced under an Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to procure an annual report on assessment of compliance as described in this Section and an attestation as described in Section

of compliance described in this Section (or in such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be) and the attestation
described in Section 10.13. The Master Servicer shall promptly forward to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor
any such assessment of compliance received by the Master Servicer. Until such time as the Certificate Administrator receives notice
that the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers no longer have a continuing obligation under the Other Pooling and Servicing
Agreement related to an Other Securitization that includes the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan to provide to the Trust an
annual report on assessment of compliance as described in this Section and an attestation as described in Section 10.13

Certificate Administrator such assessment of compliance and attestation within the time frame required by such Other Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


Section
10.13 Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. By March 1st, of each year, commencing in
March 2022, each Reporting Servicer, each at its own expense, shall cause, and each Reporting Servicer, as applicable, shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than a party to this Agreement) with which
it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans, each at such Servicing Function Participant’s
own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor and such Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor (and to any Other
Depositor and Other Trustee for any Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan), the Operating Advisor (in the
case of the Special Servicer only) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such report to the 17g-5 Information
Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.16(d) of this Agreement) to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation
regarding certain matters from the management of such Reporting Servicer, which includes an assessment from such Reporting Servicer
of its compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria in all material respects, and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted
by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion
as to whether such Reporting Servicer’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material
respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such Reporting Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria. If an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in
such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted
use language. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to deliver an annual independent public accountants’
servicing report with respect to any period during which there was no Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it.


 


Promptly
after receipt of such report from each Reporting Servicer, (i) the Depositor (and any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization
that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) shall have the right to review the report and, if applicable, consult with the related
Reporting Servicer as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance by such Reporting Servicer with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to such person, as the case may be, in the fulfillment of any of such Reporting Servicer’s obligations hereunder
or under any applicable sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement, and (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall confirm
that each assessment submitted pursuant to Section 10.12 is coupled with an attestation meeting the requirements of this
Section and notify the Depositor (and any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion
Loan) of any exceptions; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for confirming whether any
particular Reporting Servicer has certified to all of the Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it. No Reporting Servicer
shall be required to deliver, or to endeavor to cause the delivery of, such reports until April 15 in any given year so long as
it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust 



    -447-


     


    

 


(or,
in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Other Securitization that includes such Serviced Companion Loan) for the
preceding calendar year. If any Reporting Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable
Sub-Servicing Agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be, such Reporting Servicer shall provide the report pursuant
to this Section 10.13 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or the applicable Sub-Servicing
Agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be.


 


Section
10.14 Exchange Act Reporting Indemnification. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating
Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if not the Certificate Administrator), the Certificate Administrator

who controls any such entity within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act,

firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information and (z) delivered by or on behalf of such party
in connection with the performance of such party’s obligations described in this Article X, or the omission or alleged
omission to state in any such information a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the applicable party shall be entitled to participate in any
action arising out of the foregoing and the Depositor shall consult with such party with respect to any litigation or audit strategy,
as applicable, in connection with the foregoing and any potential settlement terms related thereto, (iii) the failure of any Servicing
Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it (other than a Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer) to perform its obligations

as necessary for the Depositor (and such Other Depositor) to conduct any reasonable due diligence necessary to evaluate and assess
any material instances of non-compliance disclosed in any of the deliverables required by the applicable reporting requirements
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Reporting

In
connection with comments provided to the Depositor or any Other Depositor from the Commission regarding information (x) delivered
by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian, the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee, a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, as applicable (“Affected Reporting
Party”), (y) regarding such Affected Reporting Party, and (z) prepared by such Affected Reporting Party or any registered
public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information, which information is contained
in a report filed by the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, under the Reporting Requirements and which comments
are received subsequent to the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s, as applicable, filing of such report, the Depositor
shall (or such Other Depositor may) promptly provide to such Affected Reporting Party any such comments which relate to such Affected
Reporting Party. Upon receipt of such comments, such Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for timely preparing a written
response to the Commission for inclusion in the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s, as applicable, response to
the Commission, unless such Affected Reporting Party elects, with the consent of the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable
(which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission and negotiate
a response and/or resolution with the Commission; provided, however, if an Affected Reporting Party is a Servicing
Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall receive copies of all material
communications pursuant to this Section 10.14. If such election is made, the applicable Affected Reporting Party shall
be responsible for directly negotiating such response and/or resolution with the Commission in a timely manner; provided
that (i) such Affected Reporting Party shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable,
informed of its progress with the Commission and copy the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, on all correspondence
with the Commission and provide the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, with the opportunity to participate (at
the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s expense, as applicable) in any telephone conferences and meetings with the
Commission and (ii) the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, shall cooperate with any Affected Reporting Party in
order to authorize such Affected Reporting Party and its representatives to respond to and negotiate directly with the Commission
with respect to any comments from the Commission relating to such Affected Reporting Party and to notify the Commission of such
authorization. The Depositor (or such Other Depositor, as applicable) and the Affected Reporting Party shall cooperate and coordinate
with one another with respect to any requests made to the Commission for extension of time for submitting a response or compliance.
All respective reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable), in connection
with the foregoing (other than those costs and expenses required to be at the Depositor’s or such Other Depositor’s
expense, as applicable and as set forth above) and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission related thereto shall
be promptly paid by the applicable Affected Reporting Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice from the Depositor or such Other
Depositor, as applicable. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations

Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it to comply with the foregoing by inclusion of similar provisions
in the related sub-servicing or similar agreement.






    -449-


     


    

 


 


The
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to
this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans to indemnify
and hold harmless each Certification Party from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of (i) a breach
of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of servicing criteria or attestation
reports pursuant to this Agreement, or the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable or (ii) any Deficient Exchange Act
Deliverable.


 


If
the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the
Trustee, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) shall, and
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered
into a servicing relationship (other than a party to this Agreement) with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans to contribute
to the amount paid or payable to the Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification
Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing
Party on the other in connection with a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article X.
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to
this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans to agree to
the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.


 


Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying
party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, after the indemnifying party has been notified of the
commencement of such action, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and, to the
extent that it may wish, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof,
the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the
right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless
(i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties
to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties 



    -450-


     


    

 


and, in the case of an investigation by the Commission, any parties that
are, or whose reporting materials are, the subject of such investigation) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them or (iii) the indemnifying party fails within a reasonable period of time to designate counsel that is reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In no event shall the indemnifying
parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate
from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions
in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. However, if settled with such consent, the indemnifying
party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent
that the indemnifying party is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense
of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party
in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding
by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require an admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the
consent of the indemnified party.

the avoidance of doubt:

of “Master Servicer Termination Event” or “Special Servicer Termination Event,”
as applicable, nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, during any grace period provided
for in such second clause; provided that if any such party fails to comply with the requirements of this Article X
by the expiration of any applicable grace period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event with respect to such
party;


 


(ii)       Neither
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, pursuant to the last
clause of the definition of “Master Servicer Termination Event” or “Special Servicer Termination Event,”
as applicable, nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, for failing to deliver any item
required under this Article X by the time required hereunder with respect to any reporting period for which the Trust and
each Other Securitization is not required to file Exchange Act reports.


 


(d)       If
the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor does not receive the report on assessment of compliance and/or attestation report
pursuant to Section 10.12 and 10.13, respectively, with respect to any Servicing Function Participant, or with respect
to any Servicing Function Participant retained or engaged by a party hereto that is actually known by a Responsible Officer of
the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor, as the case may be, by March 1st of any year during which an Annual Report on
Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Commission with respect to the Trust, then the Certificate Administrator shall, and
the Depositor may, forward a Servicer Notice to such Servicing Function Participant or the party hereto that retained or engaged
such Sub-Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be, with a copy of such Servicer Notice to the Depositor (if the Certificate
Administrator is sending the Servicer Notice) or the Certificate Administrator (if the Depositor is sending the Servicer Notice),
as applicable, within two (2) Business Days of such failure. For the purposes of this Article X and Section 7.01
of this Agreement, a “Servicer Notice” shall constitute either any writing forwarded to such party or, in the case
of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.05, e-mail notice or fax
notice which, in the case of an email transmission, shall be forwarded to all of the following e-mail addresses for the applicable
party: in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, to the applicable email address as provided in writing by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon request, or such other e-mail addresses as are provided in writing
by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor (but any party
to this Agreement (or someone acting on their behalf) shall only be required to forward any such notice to be delivered to the
Master Servicer to no more than three e-mail addresses in the aggregate in order to fulfill its notification requirements as set
forth in the preceding sentence and/or under the provisions of Section 7.01. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the forwarding of a Servicer Notice shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of any liability
under Section 7.01(a)(x) or Section 7.01(b)(x), respectively, for the failure of any Servicing Function Participant
or Sub-Servicing Entity to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items pursuant to this Article X.


 


Section
10.17 Termination of the Certificate Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Depositor may direct the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall upon such direction, terminate the Certificate Administrator
upon five Business

Days’ notice if the Certificate Administrator fails
to comply with any of its obligations under this Article X; provided that (a) such termination shall not be effective
until a successor certificate administrator shall have accepted the appointment, (b) the Certificate Administrator may not be
terminated if it cannot perform its obligations due to its failure to properly prepare or file on a timely basis any Form 8-K,
Form 10-K, Form 10-D or Form ABS-EE or any amendments to such forms or any Form 12b-25 where such failure results from the Certificate
Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, within the exact time frames set forth in this Agreement any information,
approval, direction or signature from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file any such Form 8-K,
Form 10-K, Form 10-D or Form ABS-EE or any amendments to such forms or any Form 12b-25 not resulting from its own negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct, (c) the Certificate Administrator may not be terminated if, following the Certificate Administrator’s
failure to comply with any of such obligations under Section 10.06, Section 10.07, Section 10.09, Section
10.11, Section 10.12 or Section 10.13 on or prior to the dates by which such obligations are to be performed
pursuant to, and as set forth in, such Sections the Certificate Administrator subsequently complies with such obligations before
the Depositor gives written notice to it that it is terminated in accordance with this Section 10.17 and (d) the Certificate
Administrator may not be terminated if the Certificate Administrator’s failure to comply does not cause it to fail in its
obligations to timely file the related Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, as the case may be, by the related deadline
for filing such Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, then the Depositor shall cease to have the right to terminate the
Certificate Administrator under this Section 10.17 on the date on which such Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K
is so filed.


 


Article
XI



THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER


 


Section
11.01 Asset Review. 


 


(a)       On or prior to each Distribution Date, based either
on the CREFC® Delinquent Loan Status Report or the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File, the Certificate
Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred,
the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trust Directing Holder, all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be
delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article XI shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by
posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to their addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register in the case of Individual Certificates and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry
Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the reporting period in which the Asset
Review Trigger occurred the following date a statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As
of the [Date of Distribution], the following mortgage loans identified below are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review
Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.” On each Distribution Date after providing such
notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan
has 



    -453-


     


    

 


ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist,
and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) or (3),
deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
LL within 2 Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
and the Trust Directing Holder.


 


If
Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the Voting Rights deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after
the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence
an Asset Review (such written direction, the “Asset Review Vote Election”), then upon receipt of the Asset
Review Vote Election, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations
Reviewer and to all Certificateholders and to conduct a solicitation of votes of the Certificateholders to authorize an Asset
Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of an
Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”),
the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters,
the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Trust Directing Holder and the Certificateholders. In the
event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote
Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will
not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after
the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an additional Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or otherwise is in effect,
(C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received any Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described
in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset
Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative
Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately
preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering
such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.


 


(b)       (i)
Upon receipt of such notice of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote (the “Asset Review Notice”), the Custodian
(with respect to clauses (1) – (5) for all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clauses
(6) and (7) for Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) for Specially
Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, will be required to promptly, but in no event later
than 10 Business Days (except with respect to clause (7)) after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator,
provide the following materials to the asset representations reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files, a copy of the Prospectus,
a copy of each related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):


 


(1)       a
copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee (or the related Other Trustee, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan), with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;


 



    -454-


     


    

 





(2)       a
copy of an assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of
the Trustee (or the related Other Trustee, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), with evidence of recording thereon, related
to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;


 


(3)       a
copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not
already covered pursuant to items (1) or (2) above;


 


(4)       a
copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent
Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;


 


(5)       a
copy of an assignment in favor of the Trustee (or the related Other Trustee, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) of any
financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset
Review;


 


(6)       a
copy of any notice previously delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or
breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan; and


 


(7)       any
other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan that are
necessary in connection with the Asset Representations Reviewer’s completion of any Asset Review and that are that are reasonably
requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer in the time frames and as otherwise described below.


 


(ii)       If,
as part of an Asset Review of any Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that it is missing any documents
that are required to be a part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan or which were entered into or delivered in connection
with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, in each case that are necessary to review and assess one or more documents comprising
the Diligence File in connection with its completion of any Test, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but
in no event later than 10 Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials identified in clauses (1) through (6)
above, notify (in writing) that the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect
to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and provide a written request (in accordance with this
Agreement) that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in no event later than 10 Business Days
after receipt of such notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, to deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such
missing documents to the extent in its possession; provided that any such notification and/or request shall be in writing,
specifically identify the documents being requested and sent to the notice address for the related party set forth in Section
12.05 of this Agreement. In the event any such missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable, within such 10 Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related
Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage Loan Seller will be required under the related 



    -455-


     


    

 


Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver
such additional documents only to the extent in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the Mortgage
Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver information that is proprietary to the related originator or Mortgage Loan Seller
or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.


 


(iii)      The
Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person
that is not a party to this Agreement or the related 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 each case in accordance with its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant
to this Section 11.01 hereof (such information, “Unsolicited Information”).


 


(iv)      Upon
receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File posted to the Secure
Data Room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence
a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan in
accordance with the Asset Review Standard and the procedures set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto (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
JJ (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer
may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in Exhibit JJ, 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)       The
Asset Representations Reviewer will not be permitted to review any information other than (x) the Review Materials, and (y) 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)     If
the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation
is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect
to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to 



    -456-


     


    

 


Specially Serviced Loans) within 10 days of the written request
by the Asset Representations Reviewer, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in a 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 shall be deemed
to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and to the related Mortgage Loan Seller no later than 60 days after the date on which
access to the Diligence Files in the Secure Data Room is made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate
Administrator. 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 90 days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise
refute the failure. Any documents provided or explanations given to support a conclusion that the representation and warranty
has not failed a Test or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be promptly
delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will 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 Delinquent Loan.


 


(viii)    The
Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within the later of (x) 60 days after the date on which access to the Diligence Files in
the Secure Data Room is made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or (y) 10 days after
the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period, complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report
setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there
is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s
findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”)
to each party to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Trust Directing Holder
and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset
Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.
The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional 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 Breach or 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 Enforcing Servicer pursuant
to Section 2.03(g) of this Agreement.


 


(ix)       In
addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or the related Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the 



    -457-


     


    

 


Asset Representations
Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report (as such date may have been extended pursuant to this
Agreement), 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.


 


(x)       Within
45 days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Performing
Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing
Standard, whether there exists a Material Breach or Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer
(with respect to any Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) determines that a
Material Breach or Material Defect exists, the Enforcing Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller
with respect to such Material Breach or Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(d).


 


(c)       The
Asset Representations Reviewer and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information”
confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to
the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement
with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.
Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating
that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior
written consent of the Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. The Asset Representations Reviewer
shall keep all documents and information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with an Asset Review that
are provided by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer confidential and shall not disclose
such documents or information except (i) for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations under this Agreement, (ii)
if such documents or information become generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly
or indirectly by the Asset Representations Reviewer, (iii) if it is reasonable and necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer
to disclose such documents or information in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies,
(iv) if such documents or information was already known to the Asset Representations Reviewer and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality
obligation and/or (v) if the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to
disclose such document or information.


 


(d)       The
Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements
with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 11.01; provided that no agent
or subcontractor may (1) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate
Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Holder or any of their respective Affiliates or (2) have been paid any fees, compensation
or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, 



    -458-


     


    

 


the
Trustee, the Directing Holder 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 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
11.02 Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability. 


 


(a)       As
compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder, upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent
Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to a fee that is a reasonable and
customary hourly fee charged by the Asset Representations Reviewer for similar consulting assignments at the time of such review
and any related costs and expenses; provided that the total payment to the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be
greater than the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”).
With respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset
Review (the “Subject Loans”), the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap” shall equal the
sum of: (i) $17,750 multiplied by the number of Subject Loans, plus (ii) $1,775 per Mortgaged Property relating to the Subject
Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $2,300 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan
subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,275 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a franchise agreement,
hotel management agreement or hotel license agreement, subject, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iv),
to adjustments on the basis of the year-end Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, or other similar index if the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers is no longer calculated, for the year of the Closing Date and for the year of the occurrence
of the Asset Review.


 


(b)       [Reserved.]


 


(c)       The
related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review shall pay the portion of
the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee attributable to the Delinquent Loan(s) contributed by it, as allocated on
the basis of the hourly charges and costs and expenses incurred with respect to its related Delinquent Loans; provided
that if the total charge for the Asset Representations Reviewer on an hourly fee plus costs and expenses basis would exceed the
Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap, each Mortgage Loan Seller’s required payment shall be reduced pro rata according
to its proportion of the total charges until the aggregate amount owed by all Mortgage Loan Sellers is equal to the Asset Representations
Reviewer Fee Cap; provided, however, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller (i) is insolvent or (ii) at any time
after the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation
of Realized Losses to such 



    -459-


     


    

 


Certificates, fails to pay such amount within 90 days of written request by the Asset Representations
Reviewer following its completion of the applicable Asset Review, such fee shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the
Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee
by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, pursue
remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller or its insolvency
estate. 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 and that is repurchased by the related Mortgage Loan
Seller.


 


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


 


(e)       The
Asset Representations Reviewer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with the sale or transfer
of all or substantially all of its Asset Representations Reviewer portfolio, provided that: (i) the purchaser or transferee
accepting such assignment and delegation (A) is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized under
such laws to perform the duties of the asset representations reviewer resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that
is permitted under this Agreement, (B) executes and delivers to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement that
contains an assumption by such person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by the asset representations reviewer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement and
(C) is not be a prohibited party under this Agreement; (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be released from its
obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation; (iii) the rate at which
the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in
effect and (iv) the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each
other party to this Agreement and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and
delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall provide notice to each party to this Agreement and then will be the successor asset
representations reviewer hereunder.


 


Section
11.03 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 the 17g-5 Information Provider. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint
a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and give written notice thereof
to the other parties to this Agreement. If no successor Asset Representations Reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset
Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations 



    -460-


     


    

 


Reviewer will bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto
and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation.


 


Section
11.04 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
11.05 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

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 (which shall be simultaneously delivered to the Asset Representations
Reviewer) of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly
provide written notice to all Certificateholders in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section
11.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination
Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case,
so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii)
upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights shall, terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued
prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other
than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations
Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to
this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate
Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.


 


(b)       Upon
(i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights requesting a vote to terminate
and replace the Asset Representations Reviewer with a proposed successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset
Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses
to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall
promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such
notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to the Asset Representations Reviewer. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least
75% of a Certificateholder Quorum, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations
Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other
than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such 



    -462-


     


    

 


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 elect to remove the Asset Representations Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor
Asset Representations Reviewer shall 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 11.05,
all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations
Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary
or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days
after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers
such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Asset Representations
Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an
Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator,
the Directing Holder 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 resign
under Section 11.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor
Asset Representations Reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 11.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Trustee is unable to find a successor Asset Representations Reviewer within 30 days of the termination of the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify
and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct
a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.


 


(d)       Upon
any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the
Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor,
the Sponsors, the Depositor and, other than during a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder and each Rating Agency.
In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall
terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive
all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring
prior to such termination).

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


 


Section
12.01 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any
other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures,
images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”)
and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically
associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record). The use of
electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated,
sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as
a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.


 


Section
12.02 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, or entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim
an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, or otherwise affect
the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.


 


No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the
operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, and nothing herein set forth, or contained
in the terms of the Certificates, shall be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners
or members of an association; and no Certificateholder shall be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action
taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.


 


Other
than with respect to any rights to deliver a Certificateholder Repurchase Request and exercise the rights described under Section
2.03(k)(i), no Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement, any Mortgage
Loan, or with respect to the Certificates, unless, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding upon or under or with respect
to this Agreement, such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice of
default, and of the continuance thereof, as herein before provided, or of the need to institute such suit, action or proceeding
on behalf of the Trust and unless also (except in the case of a default by the Trustee) the Holders of Certificates of any Class
evidencing not less than 25% of the related Percentage Interests in such Class shall have made written request upon the Trustee
to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such 



    -464-


     


    

 


indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby,
and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers
vested in it hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or hereby. It is understood and intended, and
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement or the Certificates
to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce
any right under this Agreement or the Certificates, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 12.02,
each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.


 


No
Certificateholder shall be a “Party in Interest” as described under 11 U.S.C. Section 1109(b) solely by virtue of
its ownership of a Certificate.

Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the 17g-5
Information Provider, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent; and (b) shall not adversely

as evidenced in the case of clauses (iii) through (x) above by (1) an Opinion of Counsel or (2) solely in the case

shall any such amendment cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust
to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.


 


This
Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee with the prior
written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests of each Class
of Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates
and/or agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders
or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


(1)       reduce
in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Whole Loans which are
required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to any Companion Loan Noteholders without
the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;


 


(2)       reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove
the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Loan Noteholder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Loan Noteholder, as applicable;


 


(3)       adversely
affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding;


 


(4)       change
in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under
such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary
hereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or


 


(5)       amend
the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each
Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal
or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such
rating agency confirmation may be 



    -479-


     


    

 


considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered
satisfied with respect to the Certificates).


 


Further,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (i) to
such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or
the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or local
taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
(obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition
of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


If
neither the Depositor nor any successor thereto, if any, is in existence, any amendment under this Section 12.08 shall
be effective with the consent of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in writing, and to the extent required by this Section 12.08, the
Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.


 


It
shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 12.08 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The method of obtaining
such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders and, if applicable, Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders, shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe; provided that
such method shall always be by affirmation and in writing.


 


Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement unless the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the case of any
Whole Loan, any such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related Intercreditor
Agreement) confirming that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent with
respect thereto have been satisfied, respectively, hereunder and such amendment will not cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify
as a grantor trust, or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund or any such Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust.


 


Prior
to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the
Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer may request and shall be entitled
to rely conclusively upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate, at the expense of the party requesting such
amendment (or, if such amendment is required to maintain the rating issued by any Rating Agency or requested by the Trustee for
any purpose described in 



    -480-


     


    

 


clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 12.08 (which do not modify or
otherwise relate solely to the obligations, duties or rights of the Trustee), then at the expense of the Trust Fund (and, in the
case of any Whole Loan, any such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the related
Intercreditor Agreement)) confirming that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that
all conditions precedent with respect thereto have been satisfied. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor
or the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s,
the Certificate Administrator’s, the Operating Advisor’s or the Asset Representations Reviewer’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding
any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement (i) which adversely affects the
rights, including (without limitation) as a third-party beneficiary hereunder, and/or obligations (including, without limitation,
in the case of a Mortgage Loan Seller, under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) of any Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial
Purchaser or Underwriter without the written consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial Purchaser or Underwriter, as applicable,
or (ii) which adversely affects (as determined by the applicable Companion Loan Noteholder in good faith) the rights and/or obligations
of any Companion Loan Noteholder without the written consent of such Companion Loan Noteholder.


 


Promptly
after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall post a copy of the same to the Certificate
Administrator’s Website, deliver a copy of the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider who shall post a copy of the same
on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement, and, thereafter, the Certificate
Administrator shall furnish a written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer (who shall promptly forward such notification to each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder, Other Depositor,
Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee), the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Trustee, each Mortgage Loan Seller, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.


 


In
addition, within one (1) Business Day following the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the party requesting such amendment
shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) such amendment (in EDGAR Compatible Format) to each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder,
Other Depositor, Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee.


 


Notwithstanding
any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, if one but not all of the Notes evidencing a Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased
by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto (at the expense of the party requesting
such amendment), 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 No Downgrade Confirmation from each
Rating Agency (obtained at the expense of the repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller) with respect to such amendment (or, if no such
No Downgrade Confirmation is actually received, by an opinion of counsel to such effect). Prior to the effectiveness of such amendment,
if one but not all 



    -481-


     


    

 


of the Notes with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the terms of Article III shall govern
the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan.


 


Section
12.09 Confirmation of Intent. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund
(including the Mortgage Loans) by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders as contemplated by this Agreement
be treated for all purposes as a sale by the Depositor of the Trust Fund to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of
the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to continue to be
property of the Depositor then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under applicable law; (b) the
transfer of the Trust Fund provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders
of a first priority security interest in, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in, all of the Depositor’s
right, title and interest in and to, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, the property identified in
clauses (i) through (xiv) of the definition of “Trust Fund” and all proceeds thereof; (c) the possession by the Trustee
(or the Custodian on its behalf) of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to Persons holding
such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications
to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor shall, and upon the request and direction
of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement (and at the expense of the Trust Fund
(and, in the case of any Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the
related Intercreditor Agreement)), take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that such security interest is a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
It is the intent of the parties that such a security interest would be effective whether any of the Certificates are sold, pledged
or assigned.


 


Section
12.10 No Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as specified in Section 12.12 of this Agreement, no
Person other than a party to this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, any Underwriter or any Certificateholder
shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing
and for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12.12 of this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement specifically
state that no Borrower, Manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.


 


Section
12.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (and, with respect to each Whole Loan, together with the related Intercreditor
Agreement) contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understanding, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or
written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and supersedes any
course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

and the express obligations of any party hereto to deliver documents, notices, information or funds to a Mortgage Loan Seller,
(ii) each Mortgage Loan Seller is a third party beneficiary with respect to Section 2.01, Section 2.02, Section

of the rights afforded it under this Agreement and may directly (or, in the case of a holder of a Companion Loan, the related
Other Servicer may) enforce such rights, (v) each of the Serviced Companion Loan Service Providers under the applicable Other
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is an intended third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to any provision herein
expressly relating to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification of such Serviced Companion Loan Service Provider and the
provisions regarding the coordination of Advances, (vi) each of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers under the applicable

Loan by such Persons, (2) the indemnification of each applicable Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee and
certain other parties pursuant to Section 1.04 or any other section of this Agreement against any claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement that relate solely to its servicing of the related Whole
Loan and any related reimbursement provisions, (3) the provisions set forth in Section 4.07 of this Agreement regarding
advancing coordination and (4) the provisions set forth in Sections 3.29 and 6.07, as applicable, of this Agreement;
and (vii) if one, but not all, of the Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the applicable Repurchasing
Seller shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it was a Companion Loan Noteholder, as contemplated
by Section 3.33 hereof.

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class A-1 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans
secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in
such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying
agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”)
and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) evidences the
issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C,
Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D,


 






    A-1-2 


     


    

 


Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class
R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the
eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.
Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-1 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this
Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if
any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of


 






    A-1-3 


     


    

 


business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any


 






    A-1-4 


     


    

 


interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO
Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security
agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans;
(vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve
Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable
only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed
by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination
as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and
any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this


 






    A-1-5 


     


    

 


Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.


 


No fee or service charge
shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred
to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided
in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor,
the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 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.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the

action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such
tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates

agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to
any Companion Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;



 


		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required

		(v)	amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of
Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan,
if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency
Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further, the Depositor,

local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition
of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,

The Certificateholder

the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may effect an early termination
of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without
duplication:

as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed
                                         Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation,
                                         Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee
                                         Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust
                                         Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class A-2 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans
secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in

the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo

Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-2 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on
this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate,
if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.





 






    A-2-3 


     


    

 


Such distributions shall
be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date,
(i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United
States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of


 






    A-2-4 


     


    

 


the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO
Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security
agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans;
(vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve
Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable
only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed
by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination
as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Prior to due presentation
of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.


 






    A-2-5 


     


    

 


No fee or service charge
shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred
to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided
in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor,
the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 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.

Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee without the consent of any

the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer

or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of

of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without

month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-2-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed
                                         Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation,
                                         Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee
                                         Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust
                                         Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates

the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class A-SB Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans
secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in
such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”),
as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating
Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”)
evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class
S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under
the Pooling and


 






    A-3-2 


     


    

 


Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate
is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class A-SB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-SB Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this
Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if
any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to


 






    A-3-3 


     


    

 


each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO


 






    A-3-4 


     


    

 


Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security

Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable
only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed
by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination

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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.

shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred
to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided
in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor,

review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided
in 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.

if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered

than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,

purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without

as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-3-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed
                                         Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation,
                                         Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee
                                         Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust
                                         Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class A-3 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans
secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in
such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”),
as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating
Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”)
evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class
S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under
the Pooling and


 






    A-4-2 


     


    

 


Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate
is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class A-3 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-3 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this
Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if
any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to


 






    A-4-3 


     


    

 


each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO


 






    A-4-4

Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO

interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable

in 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.

Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or
agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to
any Companion Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;



 


		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required
to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Loan Noteholder, in any such case
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Loan Noteholder, as applicable;



 


		(iii)	adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders
of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding;



 


		(iv)	change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations

		(v)	amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of
Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan,
if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered 



 






    A-4-8 


     


    

 


		 	satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation
may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).

the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Serviced

(i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC
or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition
of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without

month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-4-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed
                                         Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation,
                                         Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee
                                         Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust
                                         Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class A-4 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans
secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in
such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”),
as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating
Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”)
evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class
S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under
the Pooling and


 






    A-5-2 


     


    

 


Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate
is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class A-4 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-4 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this
Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if
any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to


 






    A-5-3 


     


    

 


each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO


 






    A-5-4 


     


    

 


Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security

Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable
only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed
by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided
in 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.

the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee with the prior written
consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or
agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to

		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required

if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered 



 






    A-5-8 


     


    

 


		 	satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation

or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition
of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The Certificateholder
owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder exercises such option,
the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may effect an early termination
of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without
duplication:


 


		(A)	100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the last
day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the
month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-5-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate,
and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees,
the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have

the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates
(other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders
as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders
and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date
following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance
with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class A-5 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans
secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in
such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”),
as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating
Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”)
evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class
S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under
the Pooling and


 






    A-6-2 


     


    

 


Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate
is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-5 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the
eleventh day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.
Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-5 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on
this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate,
if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.





 






    A-6-3 


     


    

 


Such distributions shall
be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date,
(i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United
States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of


 






    A-6-4

Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security

Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable

review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided
in 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.

The Pooling and Servicing

the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee with the prior written
consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or
agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to

		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required

		(v)	amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of
Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan,
if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered 



 






    A-6-8 


     


    

 


		 	satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation
may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further, the Depositor,

and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Serviced

or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of

of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The Certificateholder

the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may effect an early termination
of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without
duplication:


 


		(A)	100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the last
day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the
month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-6-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate,
and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees,
the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates
(other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders
as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders
and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date
following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance
with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates
for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the
receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in

the Trust Fund, or (b) the
liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class A-M Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans
secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer.
The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in
such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”),
as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating
Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”)
evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class
S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under
the Pooling and


 






    A-7-2 


     


    

 


Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate
is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class A-M Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class A-M Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this
Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if
any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to


 






    A-7-3 


     


    

 


each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO


 






    A-7-4 


     


    

 


Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security

Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable
only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed
by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.


 






    A-7-5

shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred
to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided
in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor,

review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided
in 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.

any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates); (ix) to modify the procedures of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such
amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an
Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency
rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such
amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website and the Certificate Administrator
shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; (x) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered
offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); and (xi) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions
(a) to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel, or (b) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other


 






    A-7-7 


     


    

 


regulation applicable to the risk retention requirements for
this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify
or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee with the prior written
consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or
agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to
any Companion Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;



 


		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required
to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Loan Noteholder, in any such case
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Loan Noteholder, as applicable;



 


		(iii)	adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders
of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding;



 


		(iv)	change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations
of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan
Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or



 


		(v)	amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of
Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan,
if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered 



 






    A-7-8 


     


    

 


		 	satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation
may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Serviced

(i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC
or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition
of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The Certificateholder
owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder exercises such option,
the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may effect an early termination
of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without
duplication:


 


		(A)	100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the last
day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the
month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-7-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate,
and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees,
the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates
(other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders
as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders
and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date
following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance
with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates
for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the
receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in


 






    A-7-10 


     


    

 


the Trust Fund, or (b) the
liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class B Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured
by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The
Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in
such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”),
as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating
Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”)
evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class
S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under
the Pooling and


 






    A-8-2 


     


    

 


Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate
is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month,
or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this Certificate
may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class B Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this
Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if
any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to


 






    A-8-3 


     


    

 


each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO


 






    A-8-4 


     


    

 


Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security
agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans;
(vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve
Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable
only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed
by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination
as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Prior to due presentation

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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.


 






    A-8-5

shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred
to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided
in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor,
the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 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.

Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating
Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable

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); (ix) to modify the procedures of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such
amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an
Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency
rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such
amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website and the Certificate Administrator
shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; (x) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered
offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); and (xi) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions
(a) to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel, or (b) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other


 






    A-8-7 


     


    

 


regulation applicable to the risk retention requirements for
this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify
or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee with the prior written
consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or
agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to
any Companion Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;



 


		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required
to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Loan Noteholder, in any such case
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Loan Noteholder, as applicable;



 


		(iii)	adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders
of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding;



 


		(iv)	change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations
of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan
Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or



 


		(v)	amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of
Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan,
if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered 



 






    A-8-8 


     


    

 


		 	satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation
may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions
(i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC
or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition
of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The Certificateholder
owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder exercises such option,
the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may effect an early termination
of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without
duplication:


 


		(A)	100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the last
day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the
month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-8-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate,
and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees,
the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates
(other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders
as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders
and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date
following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance
with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates
for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the
receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in


 






    A-8-10 


     


    

 


the Trust Fund, or (b) the
liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that

This certifies that [              ]
is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class C Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured
by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The
Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as general special servicer (in
such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo

R Certificates and the VRR

Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month,
or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this Certificate
may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class C Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on
this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate,
if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. 





 






    A-9-3 


     


    

 


Such distributions shall
be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date,
(i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United
States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of


 






    A-9-4 


     


    

 


the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO
Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security
agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans;
(vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve
Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable

by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate denomination
as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Prior to due presentation

the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.


 






    A-9-5 


     


    

 


No fee or service charge
shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred
to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided
in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor,
the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 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.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee without the consent of any

or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC

be a claim against the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate
Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such
action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such
tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion
Loan Noteholder; (v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting

be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person; (vi)
to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or

Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating
Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates); (vii) to amend or supplement any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates

or addition, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by confirmation
of the applicable Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current
ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered
satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates); (viii)
to modify the provisions of Section 3.06 and Section 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to
reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Holder, determine
that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry
standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating
Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable
rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of
its then-current ratings (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as
any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates); (ix) to modify the procedures of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such
amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an
Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency
rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such
amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website and the Certificate Administrator
shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; (x) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered
offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); and (xi) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions
(a) to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel, or (b) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other


 






    A-9-7 


     


    

 


regulation applicable to the risk retention requirements for
this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify
or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel.


 


The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee with the prior written
consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby (without regard to Certificates held by the Depositor, any of the Depositor’s Affiliates and/or
agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to
any Companion Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;



 


		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required
to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Loan Noteholder, in any such case
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Loan Noteholder, as applicable;



 


		(iii)	adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders
of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding;



 


		(iv)	change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations
of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan
Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or



 


		(v)	amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of
Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan,
if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered 



 






    A-9-8 


     


    

 


		 	satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation
may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions
(i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC
or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition
of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The Certificateholder
owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder exercises such option,
the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may effect an early termination
of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without
duplication:


 


		(A)	100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the last
day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the
month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-9-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate,
and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees,
the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates
(other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders
as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders
and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date
following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance
with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates
for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the
receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in


 






    A-9-10 


     


    

 


the Trust Fund, or (b) the
liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that
in no event shall 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 United Kingdom,
living on the date hereof.

Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying

issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C,
Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class
R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month,
or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this Certificate
may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class D Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 






    A-10-5 


     


    

 


Interest accrued on this
Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if
any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be


 






    A-10-6 


     


    

 


invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This Certificate is limited
in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s interest therein and specifically
excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments
on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO
Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security
agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans;
(vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve
Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the
Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO
Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security
interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance
policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest
Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower);
and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain
of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This Certificate does
not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As provided in the Pooling

any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans

or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of

of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without
duplication:


 






    A-10-11 


     


    

 


		(A)	100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the last
day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the
month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate,
and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees,
the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the

Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of
the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as
the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier
to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or
collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that in no event shall
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 United Kingdom, living on the
date hereof.

pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance

Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,

(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month,

may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class E Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.

Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be

and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to
any Companion Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;



 


		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required

or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of

of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,

if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without

month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate,
and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees,
the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the

Certificate Administrator
and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of
the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion
Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as
the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or
collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that in no event shall

capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to
the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”),
as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating
Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”)
evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B,
Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class
S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate
is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This Certificate represents
a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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
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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant to the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate Administrator,
will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination Date
(each such date, a “Distribution 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 then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh
day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.


 


During each Interest
Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class F Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest accrued on this
Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if
any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The


 






    A-12-5 


     


    

 


“Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All distributions (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions shall be made on each
Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having
appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable
to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender
of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any funds not distributed
on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting
such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after
the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to
the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter
hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination
of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments
and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

agents) and each Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment may:


 


		(i)	reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans
or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed to
any Companion Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;



 


		(ii)	reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required

without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Loan Noteholder, as applicable;

Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan,
if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency
Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer
and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Serviced
Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions
(i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC
or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or
local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition
of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder or if applicable,
any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The Certificateholder

the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may effect an early termination
of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after the Early Termination Notice
Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust is less
than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or for purposes of this calculation,
if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective Anticipated Repayment Date,
then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance)) by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and the Trust’s
interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of, without
duplication:


 


		(A)	100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the last
day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of principal);



 






    A-12-11 


     


    

 


		(B)	the fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the
month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer
as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 


		(C)	all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate to the last day of the month preceding
such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate,
and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees,
the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In addition, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount,
the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have
the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class R Certificates) for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later
than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All costs and expenses
incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.


 


The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates
(other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders
as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders
and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on


 






    A-12-12 


     


    

 


behalf of the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other
property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the exchange by
the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included
in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the last asset
held by the Trust Fund; provided that in no event shall the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue

of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date hereof.

and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the
Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as

capacity,
the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to the Equus Industrial
Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying
agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”)
and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) evidences the
issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C,
Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class
R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class G Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh
day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class G Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The


 



    A-13-5 


     


    

 


“Interest
Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted
Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

(xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing

in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions

Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly

of a like aggregate denomination as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate
Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

as provided in 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

Further,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions (i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC
as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The
Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder
exercises such option, the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may
effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee,
the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after
the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
remaining in the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or
for purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective
Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance)) by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust
Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in
cash, equal to the sum of, without duplication:

                                         last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances
                                         previously made on account of principal);

		(B)	the
                                         fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day
                                         of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent
                                         appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior
                                         to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 


		(C)	all
                                         unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
                                         Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage
                                         Rate to the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any
                                         P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the
                                         aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement
                                         Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor

                                         Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In
addition, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the
Class X-B Notional Amount, the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class
A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole
Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class
R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of
Section 9.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All
costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with
the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to
send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or
provision for payment) to the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on

of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and
all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the
exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage
Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of
the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that in no event shall 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 United Kingdom, living on the date hereof.

Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator
(in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender
Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations
reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1,

Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class R Certificates and the
VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh
day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class H Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the


 



    A-14-5 


     


    

 


related
Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” means,
with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.
Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the

as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an

the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

Cut-off Date Balance)) by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust
Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in

                                         Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage
                                         Rate to the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any
                                         P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the
                                         aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement
                                         Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor

owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class J Certificates.

Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and is bound thereby.

capacity,
the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special servicer with respect to the Equus Industrial
Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator
(in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender
Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations
reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D,
Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class R Certificates and the
VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class J Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh
day of each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class J Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the


 



    A-15-5 


     


    

 


related
Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” means,
with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.
Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted
Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties;
(xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans;
(xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing
(other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve
Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower); and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions
to Certificateholders.

Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As

or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment

and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly

as provided in 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

satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its

state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

This
certifies that [              ] is the registered
owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-A
Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens
on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund
was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The
Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the
Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as
general special servicer (in such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special
servicer with respect to the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”),
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian
and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”)
and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) evidences the
issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C,
Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class
R Certificates and the VRR


 



    A-16-2 


     


    

 


Interest
(the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively
referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with,
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 interest then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-A Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.


 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.


 



    A-16-3 


     


    

 


Such
distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the
related Record Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity
located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with
wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in
the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail
to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent
(which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of
such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted
Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s
interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage
Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;
(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of


 



    A-16-4 


     


    

 


the
Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received
in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage
Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of
Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account, the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale
Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit
therein, assets credited thereto and any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity
agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties; (xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document
delivery requirements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller
regarding its Mortgage Loans; (xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv)
the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts,
Escrow Accounts and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower); and (xvi) the Closing
Date Deposit Amount. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.


 


This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable
or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment
and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations
of a like aggregate denomination as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate
Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Prior
to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar,
any Paying Agent 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.


 






    A-16-5 


     


    

 


No
fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer
or exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited
Investors as provided in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 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.

amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize

Further,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions (i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC
as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The
Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder
exercises such option, the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may
effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee,
the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after
the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
remaining in the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or
for purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective
Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance)) by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust
Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in
cash, equal to the sum of, without duplication:


 


		(A)	100%
                                         of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the
                                         last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances
                                         previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the
                                         fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day
                                         of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent
                                         appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior
                                         to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 






    A-16-9 


     


    

 


		(C)	all
                                         unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
                                         Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage
                                         Rate to the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any
                                         P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the
                                         aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement
                                         Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor
                                         Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual
                                         Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In
addition, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the
Class X-B Notional Amount, the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class
A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole
Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class
R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of
Section 9.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All
costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with
the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to
send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or
provision for payment) to the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf
of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and
all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the
exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage
Loan included in

the
Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the last asset held

(the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively
referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with,
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 interest then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class X-B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-B Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.


 






    A-17-5 


     


    

 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be


 



    A-17-6 


     


    

 


invested
in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage

Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with
regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such
action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating

                                         rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
                                         of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided

as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

                                         previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the

                                         P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the
                                         aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement
                                         Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor

Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee

Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class R Certificates and the VRR Interest
(the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively
referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with,
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 interest then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class X-D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-D Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.


 






    A-18-5 


     


    

 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be


 



    A-18-6 


     


    

 


invested
in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s
interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage
Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;
(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii)
the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments
of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given
as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash
Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account,
the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve
Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and
any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged
Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties;
(xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans;
(xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing
(other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve
Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower); and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions
to Certificateholders.


 


This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable
or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment

and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article

for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.

Investors as provided in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 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.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee without
the consent of any of the Certificateholders or any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct
any manifest error; (ii) to cause the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement to conform

event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of

or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust;

or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings
assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating
Agencies; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of

Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with
regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such

any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or modifying
in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders; provided that no such amendment
may:


 


		(i)	reduce
                                         in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage
                                         Loans or Serviced Whole Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate,
                                         without the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Percentage
                                         Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby or which are required to be distributed
                                         to any Companion Loan Noteholders without the consent of such Companion Loan Noteholders;



 


		(ii)	reduce
                                         the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required
                                         to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion
                                         Loan Noteholder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
                                         of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Loan Noteholder, as applicable;



 


		(iii)	adversely

                                         of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding;



 






    A-18-10 


     


    

 


		(iv)	change
                                         in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations
                                         of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise
                                         or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder,
                                         without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or



 


		(v)	amend
the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each
Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal
or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such
rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered
satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions (i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC
as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder
exercises such option, the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may
effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee,
the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after
the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
remaining in the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or
for purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective
Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance)) by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust
Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in
cash, equal to the sum of, without duplication:

                                         last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances
                                         previously made on account of principal);



 


		(B)	the

(the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively
referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with,
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 interest then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class X-F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-F Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.


 






    A-19-5 


     


    

 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be


 



    A-19-6 


     


    

 


invested
in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s
interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage
Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;
(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii)
the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments
of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given
as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash
Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account,
the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve
Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and
any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged
Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties;
(xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans;
(xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing
(other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve
Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower); and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions
to Certificateholders.


 


This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable
or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment
and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in


 



    A-19-7 


     


    

 


authorized
denominations of a like aggregate denomination as the Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the
Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Prior
to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar,
any Paying Agent 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.


 


No
fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer
or exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited
Investors as provided in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 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.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee without
the consent of any of the Certificateholders or any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct
any manifest error; (ii) to cause the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement to conform
or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus or the Private Placement Memorandum with respect
to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any provisions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement; (iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection
Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no
event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of
the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such
amendment; (iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification
of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that
any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC
or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust;


 



    A-19-8 


     


    

 


provided that
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such
amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Noteholder; (v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions any provision of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined
that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders
(other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization

as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services
LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and as asset representations reviewer
(in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2,

(the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively
referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with,
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 interest then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class X-G Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-G Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.


 






    A-20-5 


     


    

 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be


 



    A-20-6 


     


    

 


invested
in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties;
(xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans;
(xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing

Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower); and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions

as provided in 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

or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust;

Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with
regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such
action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (provided that such rating

                                         or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder,
                                         without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

                                         rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
                                         of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided
                                         that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner
                                         as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).

as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

for purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective
Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance)) by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust
Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in

                                         last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances
                                         previously made on account of principal);

                                         P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the
                                         aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement
                                         Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor

and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator
and the Master Servicer, as the case may be, required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be so paid on the Distribution
Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund in

Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class R Certificates and the
VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


This
Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms
are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 interest then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class X-H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class X-H Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.


 






    A-21-5 


     


    

  


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The  “Interest Accrual
Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution
Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be


 






    A-21-6 


     


    

 


invested
in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s
interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage
Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;
(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii)
the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments
of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given
as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash
Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account,
the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve
Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and
any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged
Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties;
(xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans;
(xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing
(other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve
Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower); and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions
to Certificateholders.


 


This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable
or exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment
and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements in Article V of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements in Article
V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in

authorized

Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


Prior
to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar,
any Paying Agent 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice or knowledge to the contrary.


 


No
fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer
or exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited
Investors as provided in Section 5.02(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund 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 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.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee without
the consent of any of the Certificateholders or any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct
any manifest error; (ii) to cause the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement to conform

and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement; (iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection
Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no
event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of
the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such
amendment; (iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification
of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that
any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC
or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust;


 



    A-21-8 


     


    

 


provided that
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such
amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Noteholder; (v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions any provision

or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings
assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating
Agencies; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of

Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with
regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such

Further,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions (i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC
as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.


 


The
Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class and, if no such Certificateholder
exercises such option, the Special Servicer, and if the Special Servicer does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer may
effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee,
the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after
the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
remaining in the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or
for purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective
Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance)) by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust
Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in

                                         last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances
                                         previously made on account of principal);



  


		(B)	the
                                         fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day
                                         of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent

                                         to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 


		(C)	all
                                         unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
                                         Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage
                                         Rate to the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any
                                         P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the
                                         aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement
                                         Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor
                                         Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual

Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class
R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of
Section 9.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All
costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with
the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

certifies that [              ] is the registered
owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class S
Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens
on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund
was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The
Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the
Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as
general special servicer (in such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special
servicer with respect to the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”),

This
Certificate represents a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of the Excess Interest collected on the ARD Loan and amounts
held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees
to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for
purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


The
Certificate Administrator 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 interest then distributable,
if any, allocable to the Class S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of each month,
or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering


 



    A-22-5 


     


    

 


Certificateholders
to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may,
directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender
of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be
paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts
distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of
such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution
of such amounts to the Class S Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount
held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized
from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s
interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage
Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;
(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii)
the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments
of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given
as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash
Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account,
the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve
Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and
any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged
Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties;
(xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans;
(xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing
(other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve
Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower); and (xvi) the

		(ii)	reduce
                                         the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required

the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company

THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN INTEREST IN OR OBLIGATION OF DEUTSCHE BANK AG, THE DEPOSITOR, THE MORTGAGE LOAN SELLERS, THE

MORTGAGE LOANS ARE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OR PRIVATE INSURER.


 


FOR
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS A “RESIDUAL INTEREST” IN TWO “REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE

OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”). A TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IS DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED
THIS CERTIFICATE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.02(l) OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT, AND SHALL BE REQUIRED TO FURNISH AN AFFIDAVIT TO THE TRANSFEROR AND THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR TO THE EFFECT THAT,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, (A) IT IS NOT A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 860E(e)(5) OF THE CODE, OR AN
AGENT (INCLUDING A BROKER, NOMINEE OR OTHER MIDDLEMAN) FOR SUCH DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND IS OTHERWISE A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE,
(B) IT WILL NOT CAUSE INCOME WITH RESPECT TO THIS CERTIFICATE TO BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO A FOREIGN PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT OR FIXED
BASE, WITHIN THE MEANING OF AN APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY, OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER U.S. PERSON, (C) IT HAS HISTORICALLY
PAID ITS DEBTS AS THEY HAVE COME DUE AND INTENDS TO CONTINUE TO PAY ITS DEBTS AS THEY COME DUE IN THE FUTURE, AND (D) IT INTENDS
TO PAY ANY TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH HOLDING THIS CERTIFICATE AS THEY BECOME DUE. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION
OR OTHER PERSON THAT IS NOT A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE OR OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF THESE RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY NULL AND
VOID AND SHALL VEST NO RIGHTS IN ANY PURPORTED TRANSFEREE. BECAUSE THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS MULTIPLE “NON-ECONOMIC RESIDUAL
INTERESTS,” AS DEFINED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.860E 1(c), TRANSFERS OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE DISREGARDED FOR
FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. IN ORDER TO SATISFY A REGULATORY SAFE HARBOR UNDER WHICH SUCH TRANSFERS WILL NOT BE DISREGARDED,
THE TRANSFEROR MAY BE REQUIRED, AMONG OTHER

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER, WHOM THE HOLDER HAS INFORMED, IN EACH CASE, THAT THE REOFFER, RESALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER
IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED
STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

This
certifies that [              ] is the registered
owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust Fund. The Class R
Certificateholder is not entitled to interest or principal distributions. The Class R Certificateholder will be entitled
to receive the proceeds of the remaining assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC, if any, on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for
the Certificates, after distributions in respect of any accrued but unpaid interest on the Certificates and after distributions
in reduction of principal balance have reduced the principal balances of the Certificates to zero. It is not anticipated that
there will be any assets remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC or Trust Fund on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date following the
distributions on the Regular Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage
Loans secured by first liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master
Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
(as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.


 


The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the
Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as
general special servicer (in such capacity, the “General Special Servicer”), Situs Holdings, LLC, as the special
servicer with respect to the Equus Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (the “Equus Industrial Portfolio Special Servicer”),
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as custodian
and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”)
and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) evidences the
issuance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C,
Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class
R Certificates and the VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This
Class R Certificate represents the sole “residual interests” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”,
as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each
Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this
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) for each Trust REMIC.


 


The
Certificate Administrator 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator


 



    A-23-5 


     


    

 


shall
thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted
Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.


 


This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage
Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (in each case, to the extent of the Trust Fund’s
interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder therein): (i) such Mortgage
Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto;
(ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii)
the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) any Assignments
of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements related to the Mortgage Loans; (vi) any indemnities or guaranties given
as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (vii) a security interest in all assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash
Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and Reserve Accounts; (viii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; (ix) the Collection Account,
the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Accounts, the Distribution Accounts, any Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve
Account and the Trust’s interest in any REO Account, including any amounts on deposit therein, assets credited thereto and
any reinvestment income, as applicable; (x) a security interest in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged
Properties; (xi) a security interest in all insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties;
(xii) the rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements relating to document delivery requirements with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the representations and warranties of the related Mortgage Loan Seller regarding its Mortgage Loans;
(xiii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xiv) the VRR Interest Upper-Tier Regular Interest; (xv) the proceeds of the foregoing
(other than any interest earned on deposits in the Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and any Reserve
Accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Borrower); and (xvi) the Closing Date Deposit Amount. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions
to Certificateholders.


 


This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The

or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust;
provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification

Certificates); (vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain
the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation
from each of the Rating Agencies; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or any holder of
a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel at the
expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by confirmation of the applicable Rating Agencies that such action

be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates); (ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect
in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if

	 	 	requirement
                                         to obtain consent of any Companion Loan Noteholder, in any such case without the consent
                                         of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then-outstanding or such Companion Loan
                                         Noteholder, as applicable;



 


		(iii)	adversely
                                         affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders
                                         of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding;



 


		(iv)	change
                                         in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations

                                         or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary hereunder,
                                         without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or



 


		(v)	amend
                                         the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt

                                         rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
                                         of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided
                                         that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner
                                         as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates).



 


Further,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations
Reviewer and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions (i) to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC
as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after
the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
remaining in the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or
for purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and


 



    A-23-10

                                         last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances
                                         previously made on account of principal);

                                         Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage
                                         Rate to the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any
                                         P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and

This
certifies that [              ] is the registered
owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the VRR Interest.
The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial
and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and
the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this
Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and is bound thereby.

Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the
Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as

and as asset

representations
reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) evidences the issuance of the Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-B, Class X-D,
Class X-F, Class X-G, Class X-H, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class S and Class R Certificates and the
VRR Interest (the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


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, and (ii) a
beneficial interest in the Excess Interest and proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this
Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in
accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other
taxes imposed on or measured by income.


 


The
Certificate Administrator 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate
Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this
Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Certificate
Administrator, will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the fourth Business Day after each Determination
Date (each such date, a “Distribution 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 then
distributable, if any, allocable to the VRR Interest for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. “Determination Date” is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as the eleventh day of
each month, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in June 2021. Holders of this
Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


During
each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the VRR Interest will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.


 


Interest
accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The “Interest Accrual Period” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the calendar month


 



    A-24-4 


     


    

 


immediately
preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of 30 days.


 


All
distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the Persons in whose
names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Such distributions
shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date, (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor if such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions
in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing
order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or (ii) otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment
and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.


 


Any
funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall,
on such date, be set aside and held for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If any Certificates as
to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust
and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within
two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Certificate Administrator
as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted
Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above accounts for purposes other than distributions
to Certificateholders.

Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar
as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The

Reviewer and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Certificateholders or, if applicable,
the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its

as a REMIC or the qualification of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional material
state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that such action, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent
the imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
or if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder or (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations.

the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer any time specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, which shall be on or after
the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
remaining in the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Stated Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date (or
for purposes of this calculation, if an ARD Loan is still an asset of the Trust and such right is being exercised after its respective
Anticipated Repayment Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance)) by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust
Fund, and the Trust’s interest in all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in
cash, equal to the sum of, without duplication:


 


		(A)	100%
                                         of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust as of the
                                         last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any P&I Advances
                                         previously made on account of principal);

		(B)	the
                                         fair market value of all other property included in the Trust Fund as of the last day
                                         of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date, as determined by an Independent
                                         appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30 days prior
                                         to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date;



 


		(C)	all
                                         unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
                                         Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage
                                         Rate to the last day of the month preceding such Anticipated Termination Date (less any
                                         P&I Advances previously made on account of interest); and



 


		(D)	the
                                         aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Reimbursement
                                         Rate, and unpaid Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Compensation, Operating Advisor
                                         Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual
                                         Property Royalty License Fees and Trust Fund expenses.



 


In
addition, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the
Class X-B Notional Amount, the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class
A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole
Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class S or Class
R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of
Section 9.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice to all the parties to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.


 


All
costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with
the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator
shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor,
the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments and to
send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon payment (or
provision for payment) to the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of all amounts held by or on

all other property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the
exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of its Certificates for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 9.01(g) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement; and (iii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage
Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of
the last asset held by the Trust Fund; provided that in no event shall the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement

1.           That
he/she is a __________________ of __________________ (the “Purchaser”), a __________________ duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of __________________ on behalf of
which he/she makes this affidavit.


 


2.           That
the Purchaser’s Taxpayer Identification Number is __________________.


 


3.           That
the Purchaser of the Benchmark 2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B26, Class R
(the “Class R Certificate”) is a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Article I of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Deutsche Mortgage &
Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor, KeyBank National Association, as master servicer and as general special servicer, Situs

as a broker, nominee, or other middleman) for, a Permitted Transferee and has received from such person or entity an affidavit
substantially in the form of this affidavit.


 


4.           That
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 Certificate as they become due.


 


5.           That
the Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flow
generated by the Class R Certificate.


 


6.           That
the Purchaser will not transfer the Class R Certificate to any person or entity from which the Purchaser has not received an affidavit
substantially in the form of this affidavit or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that the requirements set forth

    C-1-1


     


    

 





7.           That
the Purchaser is not a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and is not purchasing the Class R Certificate for the account of, or as
an agent (including as a broker, nominee or other middleman) for, a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person and is otherwise a Permitted
Transferee.


 


8.           That
the Purchaser agrees to such amendments of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as may be required to further effectuate the restrictions
on transfer of the Class R Certificate to a “disqualified organization,” an agent thereof, or a person that does not
satisfy the requirements of paragraph 4, paragraph 7 and paragraph 11 hereof.


 


9.           That

12.         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 Certificate; and


 


(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 Code Section
11(b) (but the tax rate in Code Section 55(b)(1)(B) may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Code Section 11(b) if
the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Code Section 55 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 Code Section 1274(d) 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 Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,


 



    C-1-2


     


    

 





(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 U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and
(iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; 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.

	1.	The

                                         The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows
                                         or believes that any representation contained in such certificate is false.



 


	3.	The

                                         retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or a Keogh plan, which
                                         is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)
                                         or to Code Section 4975, 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 fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA
                                         or to Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”), or (b) any person
                                         acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan (including an
                                         entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a Plan’s investment
                                         in the entity ((within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101,
                                         as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA)).



 


	4.	Check
                                         one of the following:



 


☐       The
Purchaser certifies, represents and warrants to you, in your respective capacities as Certificate Registrar, Retaining Sponsor
and Depositor, that the transfer will occur during the Transfer Restriction Period and that:


 


		A.	The
                                         Purchaser is a “majority-owned affiliate”, as such term is defined in the
                                         Risk Retention Rule, of the Transferor (a “Majority-Owned Affiliate”).



 


		B.	The
                                         Purchaser is not acquiring the Transferred Interest as a nominee, trustee or agent for
                                         any person that is not a Majority-Owned Affiliate, and that for so long as it retains
                                         its interest in the Transferred Interest (or until the end of the Transfer Restriction
                                         Period, if earlier), it will remain a Majority-Owned Affiliate.



 


		C.	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
                                         its ownership of the Transferred Interest will satisfy the risk retention requirements
                                         of the Transferor, in its capacity as [the retaining sponsor][an originator] under the
                                         Risk Retention Rule.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter is delivered
pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”),
entered into between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor, KeyBank National Association, as master
servicer and as general special servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC, as special servicer with respect to the Equus Industrial Portfolio
Mortgage Loan, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as trustee, as certificate administrator, as paying agent and as custodian, on behalf of the holders of Benchmark
2021-B26 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”) with respect to the
transfer by [__________] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of [$_____ aggregate
Certificate Balance][_____% Percentage Interest] of Class [_____] Certificates, in certificated fully registered form (such registered
interest, the “Certificate”). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


In connection with
such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:


 


[For Institutional
Accredited Investors only] 1. The Purchaser is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501
(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or an entity in which all of the equity owners are such accredited investors (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”),
and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of


 






    D-1-1


     


    

 


evaluating the merits and risks of
the investment in the Certificate, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the
economic risk of the investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts (each
of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor) as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser
hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.


 


[For Qualified
Institutional Buyers only] 1. The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule
144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchaser
is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information
required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.


 


	2.	The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s
own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” within the
meaning of, and in transactions complying with, Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) entities qualifying as “accredited
investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or
any entity in which all of the equity owners are such accredited investors, or (iii) pursuant to any other exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (iii) to (a) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of
a letter substantially in the form hereof, (b) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to
the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (c) the receipt
by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or
transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (including applicable state and foreign securities
laws), and (d) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer.
It understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason
of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions)
as expressed herein.



 


	3.	The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange
thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction,
and that the Certificate cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder
or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.



 


	4.	The Purchaser has reviewed the Private Placement Memorandum, dated May 14, 2021, relating to the
Certificates (the “Private Placement Memorandum”) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein
and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Private Placement Memorandum.



 






    D-1-2


     


    

 


	5.	The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”),
in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.



 


	6.	The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate, except in compliance
with Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



 


	7.	Check one of the following:



 


		☐	The Purchaser is a “U.S.
Tax Person” (as defined below) and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9
(or successor form).



 


		☐	The Purchaser is not
a “U.S. Tax Person” (as defined below) and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required
to be withheld by the Certificate Registrar (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made on the Certificate(s). The
Purchaser has attached hereto [(i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form), which identifies such
Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate(s) and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person, (ii) two
duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments) or (iii)]* two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI
(or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate(s) and state that interest and original
issue discount on the Certificate(s) is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser
agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated [IRS Forms W-8BEN, IRS Forms W-8BEN-E, IRS Forms W-8IMY or]* IRS Forms W-8ECI[,
as the case may be]*, any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably
request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.



 


For purposes of this
paragraph 7, “U.S. Tax Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership
(except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations), or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of
the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership
for federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source,
or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and
one or more such U.S. Tax Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided
in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Tax
Persons).

                                         research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).



 


		(b)	You
                                         acknowledge that you are aware that the United States and state securities laws impose

                                         who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement
                                         to that effect.



 


		(c)	You
                                         will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section
                                         4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not
                                         disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information
                                         was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement.
                                         Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:



 


		(i)	disclose
                                         the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers,
                                         employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”)
                                         who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information
                                         in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of
                                         the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable
                                         precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act
                                         in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;



 


		(ii)	solely
                                         to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5),
                                         post the Confidential Information to the NRSRO’s password protected website; and



 


		(iii)	use
                                         information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended
                                         Purpose, if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.



 


		3.	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




 






    Z-4


     


    

 


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.


 


		4.	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.



 


		5.	Violations
of this Confidentiality Agreement.



 


		(a)	The
                                         NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the
                                         NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.



 


		(b)	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.



 


	 	(c)	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



 






    Z-5


     


    

 


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.


 


		6.	Term.
Notwithstanding the termination or cancellation of this Confidentiality Agreement and regardless of whether the NRSRO has provided
a credit rating on a Security, your obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will survive indefinitely.

relationships of the parties and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within
such State.



 



		8.	Amendments.
This Confidentiality Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing by the NRSRO and each Furnishing Entity.




 


		9.	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.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:


 


This
letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________
(the “Transferee”) of the Excess Servicing Fee Right established under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of May 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), entered into and executed with respect to
the above-referenced transaction. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as the Depositor
and the Master Servicer, that:


 


1.         The
Transferee is acquiring the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees with respect to the Mortgage Loans as to which __________________
is the applicable Master Servicer (the “Excess Servicing Fee Right”) for its own account for investment and
not with a view to or for sale or transfer in connection with any distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner which
would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities
laws.


 


2.         The
Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act
or registered or qualified under any applicable


 



    AA-2-1


     


    

 


 state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator
or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing
Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified
pursuant to any applicable state securities laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration
and qualification and (A) the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit AA-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of the Master Servicer and the Depositor have received a
certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit AA-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.


 


3.         The
Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any interest therein except
in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.12 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which provisions it has carefully reviewed.


 


4.         Neither
the Transferee nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred the Excess
Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security to any person in any manner,
(b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest
in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated
with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security with
any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the
Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken
any other action with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar
security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of
the Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right a violation
of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Excess Servicing
Fee Right pursuant thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any
manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing
Fee Right or any other similar security.


 


5.         The
Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Excess Servicing Fee Right and any payments
thereon, (c) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and
servicing of the Mortgage Loans, and (e) all related matters that it has requested.


 


6.         The
Transferee is (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b)
an “accredited investor” as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs. The Transferee has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Excess Servicing
Fee Right; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed

                                         Summary



 


Based

Operating Advisor (in accordance


 




 





1
This report is an indicative report and does not reflect the final form of annual report to be used in any particular year.
The Operating Advisor will have the ability to modify or alter the organization and content of any particular report, subject

    BB-1


     


    

 


with the Operating Advisor’s analysis requirements outlined in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement) has undertaken a limited review of the Special Servicer’s reported actions on the loans identified in this report.
Based solely on such limited review and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating
Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance
with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement during the
prior calendar year on a “asset-level basis” with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced
Loans that the special servicer is responsible for servicing under the PSA. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard as a result of the following
material deviations.]

                                         OF MATERIAL DEVIATION ITEMS]

	III.	List
                                         of Items that Were Considered in Compiling this Report



 


In
rendering our assessment herein, we examined and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the items listed below:


 


	1.	Any
                                         Major Decision Reporting Package that is delivered or made available to the Operating
                                         Advisor by the Special Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.



 


	2.	Reports
                                         by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate
                                         Administrator’s Website that is relevant to the Operating Advisor’s obligations
                                         under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and certain information it has reasonably requested
                                         from the Special Servicer and each Final Asset Status Report, in each case, delivered
                                         or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
                                         Agreement.



 


	3.	The
                                         Special Servicer’s assessment of compliance report, attestation report by a third
                                         party regarding the Special Servicer’s compliance with its obligations, and non-discretionary
                                         portions of net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations
                                         delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Pooling
                                         and Servicing Agreement.



 


	4.	[LIST
                                         OTHER REVIEWED INFORMATION]



 


NOTE:
The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full
or limited audit, legal review or legal opinion. For instance, we did not review each page of the Special Servicer’s policy
and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), review underlying lease agreements or similar underlying documents,
re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculation, visit any


 



    BB-2


     


    

 


related property, visit the Special Servicer,
visit the Directing Holder or interact with any Borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal
Reduction calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary
portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions
of such formulas.


 


	IV.	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 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.



 


	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.	Other
                                         than the receipt of any Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report that
                                         is delivered or made available to the Operating Advisor pursuant to the terms of the
                                         Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have
                                         access to, the Special Servicer’s and Directing Holder’s discussion(s) regarding
                                         any Specially Serviced Loan. The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with
                                         the Directing Holder 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 Operating Advisor
                                         has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth in the Pooling and
                                         Servicing Agreement or 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 communication 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.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES


 




 Subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Exhibit sets forth Asset Representations
Reviewer’s review procedures for each Delinquent Mortgage Loan based on the information provided for an Asset Review. Capitalized
terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the
event of any conflict between this Exhibit JJ and the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
shall control and govern the Asset Representation Reviewer’s responsibilities and duties with respect to Asset Reviews.


 


Call for Review and Collection and
Inventory of Review Materials


 


		Step 1	Asset Representations Reviewer (“ARR”)
receives the following items before beginning its review from the parties specified in Section 11.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement:



 


		▪	Notice of Asset Review Trigger (with attachments)



 


		▪	Asset Review Vote Election



 


		▪	Notice of Affirmative Asset Review Vote



 


		▪	List of all Delinquent Mortgage Loans subject to the Asset Review



 


		▪	Review Materials for each Delinquent Mortgage Loan via Secure Data Room access, including the Diligence
File



 


		▪	Any Unsolicited Information (if applicable)



 


		Step 2	For each Delinquent Mortgage Loan, ARR inventories all
Review Materials to which ARR is provided access in the Secure Data Room to determine what, if any, Review Materials for such
Delinquent Mortgage Loan are missing, using the list of documents in Section 2.01(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
any comparable lists included in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and any closing checklist from the origination
of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, to guide its review and determination



 






    Exhibit JJ-1


     


    

 


		Step 3	If ARR determines that the information made available
to it in the Secure Data Room with respect to any Delinquent Mortgage Loan is missing any documents required to complete an Asset
Review of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, ARR shall prepare a list of such missing documents and notify Master Servicer (with respect
to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or applicable Mortgage Loan Seller
of such missing documents. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, does not provide such document as provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the ARR shall notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller of such missing information



 


Analysis and
Testing of Representations and Warranties


 


		Step 4	For each Delinquent Mortgage Loan for which ARR has received
all Review Materials required to complete an Asset Review of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, ARR tests such Delinquent Mortgage
Loan for compliance with each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent
Mortgage Loan as follows:



 


		▪	ARR reviews each representation and warranty and each item included in the Review Materials applicable
or related to such representation or warranty to determine whether there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was
not true when made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller



 


		▪	For each representation and warranty, ARR lists



 


		●	all
items from the Review Materials reviewed or used in its testing of such representation and warranty



 



		●	whether
ARR has determined that there is any evidence that such representation or warranty was not true when made by the related Mortgage
Loan Seller, and



 



		○	if
so, stating the aspect of the applicable representation or warranty that does not appear to have been true when made by the related
Mortgage Loan Seller and ARR’s basis for its conclusion



 



		○	completing
the Asset Review Report by setting forth, for each Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the information contemplated herein with respect
to each representation and warranty




 


ARR will not attempt
(and has no obligation) to determine the materiality of any potential breach of a representation or warranty that it discovers
evidence of during its review as contemplated herein.
