(1) Approximate. The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Regular Certificates will be calculated in accordance
with the definition of "Pass-Through Rate".

(2) Notional Amount.

(3) The Class X-A Certificates are entitled to a specified portion of the interest payable on each of
the Class LA-2, Class LA-3 and Class LA-M Interests equal to the excess of the WAC Rate over the interest payable on the Corresponding
Certificates as identified on the table for the Lower-Tier REMIC.

(4) The Class X-B Certificates are entitled to a specified portion of the interest payable on each of
the Class LB and Class LC Interests equal to the excess of the WAC Rate over the interest payable on the Corresponding Certificates as
identified on the table for the Lower-Tier REMIC.

(5) The Class X-D Certificates are entitled to a specified portion of the interest payable on the Class
LD Interest equal to the excess of the WAC Rate over the interest payable on the Corresponding Certificates as identified on the table
for the Lower-Tier REMIC.

(6) The Class UTR Interest is the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC. It is not
entitled to distributions of principal or interest.

The foregoing structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on the REMIC 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 <u>Section 12.08</u> of this Agreement.

The Class R Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, bear interest or be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each Class of Regular Certificates, will be deemed distributed to the Class UTR Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

None of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D or Class R Certificates have Certificate Balances. The Certificate Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates 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; <u>provided</u> that if amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses 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 <u>Section 4.01</u> of this Agreement.

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 causes the maximum amounts to be paid with respect to the holders of the REMIC regular interests.

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.

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 Securitization 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 Securitization with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). In the event that the documents specified in <u>Section 2.01(a)(xx)</u> 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.

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, <u>provided</u> that either of the related Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one Mortgage File or one of any other document required to be delivered with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan hereunder and such delivery shall satisfy such delivery requirements for each of the related Mortgage Loan Sellers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Master Servicer the Initial Schedule AL File and the Initial Schedule AL Additional File in XML Format

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that the trust established under this Agreement is intended to be treated as a bare trust for Canadian federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement agree not to make any Canadian tax filing or take any Canadian tax position that is inconsistent with the treatment of the trust as a bare trust. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other party to this Agreement is responsible for any Canadian tax administration, or has any liability for any Canadian tax consequences.

Section 2.02 <u>Acceptance by Custodian and the Trustee</u>. 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 <u>Exhibit N-1</u> 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 <u>Section 2.01(a)(ii)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(vii)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(xi)</u> and <u>Section 2.01(a)(xix)</u> 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 <u>Exhibit N-2</u> to this Agreement that all documents (other than documents referred to in <u>clauses (xix)</u>

and (xx) of <u>Section 2.01(a)</u> of this Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, and the documents referred to in <u>clauses (iii)</u>, <u>(iv)(B)</u>, <u>(v)(B)</u> and <u>(viii)(B)</u> of <u>Section 2.01(a)</u> of this Agreement and the assignments of financing statements referred to in <u>clause (xiii)</u> of <u>Section 2.01(a)</u> of this Agreement, which shall be delivered for filing or recording by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as provided herein) referred to in <u>Section 2.01(a)</u> above (in the case of the documents referred to in <u>Section 2.01(a)(iv)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(vi)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(viii)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(ix)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(x)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(xi)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(xii)</u> through <u>Section 2.01(a)(xvi)</u> and <u>Section 2.01(a)(xviii)</u> through <u>Section 2.01(a)(xx)</u> of this Agreement, as 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 <u>Section 2.01(a)(i)</u> has been received, subject to the preceding provisions of this <u>Section 2.02</u>.

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 <u>Exhibit M</u> 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 <u>Section 2.03(e)</u> 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.

The Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon written request from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, to deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit C</u> 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 <u>Section 2.01</u> of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to cause the 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Repurchase Request</u>", and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives a Repurchase Request, the "<u>Repurchase Request Recipient</u>" 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 "<u>Repurchase Request Withdrawal</u>"), (iii) receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject to a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a "<u>Repurchase</u>"), or (iv) receives a Repurchase Communication of the rejection of a Repurchase Request (a "<u>Repurchase Request Rejection</u>"), then such Person shall deliver written notice of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection (each such notice, a "<u>Rule 15Ga-1 Notice</u>") 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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 <u>Section 2.03(d)</u> (a "<u>Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider</u>") 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 <u>Section 2.03(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 2.03(d)</u> 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 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 <u>Section 2.03(d)</u> of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Benchmark 2025-V17 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2025-V17 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 <u>Section 2.03(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 2.02</u> of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) A "<u>Defect</u>" 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 "<u>Breach</u>" 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 has occurred and 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; <u>provided</u> that if any of the documents specified in <u>Section 2.01(a)(i)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(ii)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(vii)</u>, <u>Section 2.01(a)(xi)</u> and <u>Section 2.01(a)(xix)</u> 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) shall, not later than 90 days from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller's receipt of such notice of such Material Defect or Material 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, <u>provided</u> 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 "<u>Initial Resolution Period</u>"), (i) cure the same in all material respects, at its own expense, (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (or, in the case 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 (<u>provided</u> 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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, prior to the occurrence 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement), 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI) 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI) 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 "<u>Loss of Value Payment</u>") 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 <u>Section 3.06(e)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.23</u>, 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 <u>Section 2.03</u> 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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, <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 2.03</u> (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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) are subsequently obtained from the related Borrower, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Borrower shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement). 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this <u>Section 2.03</u>, (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 (<u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under Section 21 of the BCREI 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 <u>Section 3.06</u> of this Agreement (with respect to the related 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 <u>Section 3.06</u> 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) prevails in such proceeding, such Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 <u>Section 2.01(a)(i)</u> 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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.

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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to take any action against BCHI to the extent provided for pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 21 thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If for any reason a Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) (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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for the purposes of <u>Section 2.03</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 "<u>Certificateholder Repurchase Request</u>"), 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 <u>Section 2.03(e)</u>. Subject to <u>Section 2.03(l)</u>, 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 <u>Section 2.03(l)</u> shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 "<u>PSA Party Repurchase Request</u>" and, each of a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, a "<u>Repurchase Request</u>"). Subject to <u>Section 2.03(l)</u>, 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 <u>Section 2.03(l)</u> shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Resolution Failure</u>"), 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice</u>") 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) In the event a Repurchase Request is Resolved in a manner contemplated by <u>clause (v)</u> of the definition thereof, in the event the Enforcing Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such a contractually binding agreement to be entered into between the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller could reasonably be expected to result in losses or other shortfalls on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan directly attributable to the contractually binding agreement, then the Enforcing Servicer shall, prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, obtain the consent of the Directing Holder before entering into such contractually binding agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, no such consent will be required (i) if the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Loan with regard to the Directing Holder, or (ii) if no such determination is made by the Enforcing Servicer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Proposed Course of Action Notice</u>") 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 "<u>Proposed Course of Action</u>"). 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" 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 <u>Section 2.03(l)</u> 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations

under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement) 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 "<u>Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice</u>") within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator's Website (the "<u>Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date</u>") 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 6.08</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Requesting Certificateholder</u>"), 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 "<u>Dispute Resolution Consultation</u>") 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 ("<u>Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this <u>Section 2.03(l)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement); <u>provided</u> 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.

The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The details and/or existence of any Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this <u>Section 2.03</u>, 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 <u>Section 2.03</u>). 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 <u>Section 2.03</u>), 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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, <u>provided</u> 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 nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 a 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

**ARTICLE III<br>ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING<br> OF THE TRUST FUND**

Section 3.01 <u>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</u>. (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 <u>Section 6.03</u> hereof). 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 <u>Section 3.01</u>, to the related sub-servicing agreement with each sub-servicer and to <u>Section 3.02</u> 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 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 <u>Section 3.03</u>, <u>Section 3.09</u>, <u>Section 3.10</u>, <u>Section 3.24</u>, <u>Section 3.25</u>, <u>Section 3.26</u> and <u>Section 3.27</u> hereof. The Master Servicer (with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans that are Performing 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 <u>Section 3.11</u> of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, (i) within 10 Business Days following the Closing Date, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, ten (10) original powers of attorney in the form of <u>Exhibit DD-1</u> or <u>Exhibit DD-2</u> attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and (ii) upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, any powers of attorney in the form of <u>Exhibit DD-1</u> or <u>Exhibit DD-2</u> attached hereto, as applicable (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents (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 (<u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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, <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Article X</u> 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 <u>Article X</u> 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 <u>Section 3.09</u>, <u>Section 3.10</u>, <u>Section 3.24</u>, <u>Section 3.25</u>, <u>Section 3.26</u>, <u>Section 3.27</u>, (as applicable), (iv) such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (v) such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminable if at any time the related Sub-Servicer is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third-Party Purchaser and such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB, and (vi) 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 <u>Section 3.01(c)</u> (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 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 <u>Section 7.02</u> (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 <u>Section 3.01(c)(ii)</u> and <u>Section 3.01(d)</u>.

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 <u>Article X</u> 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.

Except with respect to the Special Servicer, no party shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a Sub-Servicer that is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third-Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer would be a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties to this Agreement, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, may conclusively rely upon a representation of any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer that such Sub-Servicer is not, to its actual knowledge, a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third-Party Purchaser. If at any time a party to this transaction obtains actual knowledge that such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB and is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third-Party Purchaser, such party shall terminate such Sub-Servicer in accordance with the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 7.02</u>, 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 <u>Section 7.02</u>, 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, pursuant to <u>Section 3.01(c)</u>. 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 <u>Section 3.22(b)</u>, 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 <u>Section 6.04(c)</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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; <u>provided</u> that, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on the related Serviced Mortgage Loan on or after the date the related 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 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 <u>Liability of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer When Sub-Servicing</u>. 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 <u>Collection of Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan Payments</u>. 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; <u>provided</u> 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. 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 <u>Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts</u>. (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 (<u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.21(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.04</u> 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 if such Advance has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent permitted by <u>Section 3.06</u> of this Agreement. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer 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 <u>Section 3.06(a)(v)</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Escrow Account</u>") 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 <u>Section 3.07(b)</u> 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); <u>provided</u> 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.

Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Master Servicer only:

If the Certificate Administrator shall deposit in the Interest Reserve Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Interest Reserve Account any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. On or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each calendar year (or in February if the final Distribution Date will occur in such month), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Lower-Tier Distribution Account the aggregate of all Withheld Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to make withdrawals from time to time, from the Collection Account of amounts necessary for the payments or reimbursement of amounts required to be paid to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers and the related trust of the applicable Other Securitization by the holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid to it therefrom promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the 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 re-calculate the amounts stated therein. The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan, on a loan-by-loan and, if appropriate, property-by-property basis, for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from the Collection Account.

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, reflecting amounts allocable to each Mortgage Loan, and on a property-by-property basis when appropriate, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal, debit or credit from the Collection Account or the Trust Ledger. Upon written 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 (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC with respect to the Mortgage Loans and (ii) the Companion Loans.

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Special Servicer, the Other Trustee, the Other Servicer or the Other Special Servicer, from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid to such Person therefrom, promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a responsible officer of the Other Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of an officer of the Operating Advisor, a certificate of an officer of the Asset Representations Reviewer, a certificate of a Servicing Officer or a certificate of the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which such Person is entitled (unless such payment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Special Servicer, the Other Trustee, the Other Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as the case may be, is specifically required pursuant to this Agreement and the timing and the amount of payment is specified in, or calculable pursuant to, this Agreement, in which case a certificate is not required). The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, CREFC<sup>®</sup>, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers (to the extent specified in <u>Section 12.12</u>) 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 or payment of the Servicing Compensation (including investment income), Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, Special Servicing

Compensation (including investment income), the CREFC<sup>®</sup> Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee, the Operating Advisor Fees, Operating Advisor Consulting Fees (but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fees are actually received from the Borrowers), the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (to the extent owed by the Trust pursuant to <u>Section 11.02(c)</u> of this Agreement), Advances, Advance Interest Amounts, their respective indemnification payments (if any) pursuant to <u>Section 6.03</u>, <u>Section 8.05</u> or <u>Section 12.02</u> of this Agreement (for each of such Persons other than CREFC<sup>®</sup>), their respective expenses hereunder to the extent such fees and expenses are to be reimbursed 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 <u>Section 6.03</u> herein may 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 <u>Section 3.06(a)</u> or <u>Section 3.06(b)</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06(a)</u> or to comply with the terms of this <u>Section 3.06(a)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06(a)</u> 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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

Section 3.07 <u>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</u>. (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 <u>Section 3.07</u>, an "<u>Investment Account</u>"), 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 "<u>Borrower Accounts</u>"), 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, <u>provided</u> that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the related Borrower or Manager meeting the requirements of this <u>Section 3.07</u>, 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 a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable) shall:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.06</u> or <u>Section 3.15(b)</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 <u>Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage</u>. (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; <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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, <u>provided</u> 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 insurance required to be maintained under the Loan Documents; <u>provided</u> that this clause shall not limit the Master Servicer's obligation to obtain and maintain a force-placed insurance policy, as provided herein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Operating Advisor pursuant to <u>Section 6.07</u>, 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); <u>provided</u> 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, 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.

Subject to <u>Section 3.15(b)</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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. The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations.

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 <u>Section 3.06</u> 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 <u>Section 3.15</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 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 <u>Section 3.21(d)</u> of this Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) is obtained from a Qualified Insurer, and

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 at least "A3" by Moody's, "A-" by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and "A(low)" or its equivalent by Morningstar DBRS (or if not rated by Morningstar DBRS, at least an equivalent rating by two other NRSROs), 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 <u>Section 3.08(a)</u> 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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 at least "A3" by Moody's, "A-" by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) or its equivalent by Morningstar DBRS (if then rated by Morningstar DBRS), 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.

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 at least "A3" by Moody's, "A-" by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) or its equivalent by Morningstar DBRS (if then rated by Morningstar

DBRS), 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 <u>Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions</u>. (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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

In addition, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall not waive any rights under a due-on-sale clause unless it first obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the master servicer and/or the special servicer of the Other Securitization to determine whether a Rating Agency Confirmation is required with respect to the Serviced Companion Loans under the Other Securitization.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor 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 Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, 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.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Directing Holder (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), 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 <u>Section 6.07</u> for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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), <u>provided</u> certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

<u>then</u>, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), to the extent such action is not a Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and, to the extent such action is a 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 6.07</u> (or (A) upon consultation with the Directing Holder ((1) after the occurrence and 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) pursuant to <u>Section 6.07</u> and (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, upon consultation with the Operating Advisor pursuant to <u>Section 6.07</u>) 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 $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 (<u>provided</u> that the Special Servicer and the Master 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 (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); <u>provided</u> 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. In addition, with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall not waive any rights under a due-on-encumbrance clause unless it first obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing such action shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor 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 Operating Advisor, 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); <u>provided</u> that in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing the related approval, as applicable, 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. The Special Servicer (with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and, to the extent such action is a Major Decision, each Performing Loan) and the Master Servicer (with respect to each Performing Loan, to the extent such action is not a Major Decision) shall be responsible for determining whether (i) to enforce any such due-on-encumbrance clauses or (ii) to provide its consent to such a lien or due-on-encumbrance, and for the handling of all related processing and documentation or, if

mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be required to process such request subject to the consent of the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Directing Holder (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), 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 <u>Section 6.07</u> for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 or the Master Servicer's, as applicable, recommendation and analysis with respect to such waiver and any additional information the Directing Holder may reasonably request from the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, of a proposed waiver or consent under any "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause in which to grant or withhold its consent (<u>provided</u> 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any waivers that it processes pursuant to <u>Section 3.09(a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> of this Agreement) and the related Other 17g-5 Information Provider (if any) with respect to each Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Nothing in this <u>Section 3.09</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this <u>Section 3.09</u>, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to <u>Section 3.09(a)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.26</u> hereof, as applicable.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to the consent rights and processes set forth in <u>Section 6.07</u> with respect to Major Decisions and <u>Section 3.26(m)</u> with respect to actions that are 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 (<u>provided</u> 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). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall process such defeasances without the consent of the Special Servicer (or Directing Holder, if applicable), subject only to the Special Servicer's consent rights (including any required Directing Holder approval of Special Servicer actions) with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Major Decision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Loan; <u>provided</u> that the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Borrower to effect defeasance until acceptable government securities have been identified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) When the Special Servicer's consent is requested under this <u>Section 3.09</u>, 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 <u>Appraisals; Realization upon Defaulted Loans</u>. (a) Other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and only to the extent the Special Servicer has knowledge of the following, 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 <u>Section 3.26</u> 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 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 Operating Advisor pursuant to <u>Section 6.07</u>, 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 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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.

None of the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

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 <u>Section 3.09(a)</u> and <u>3.09(b)</u> 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 with the Servicing Standard, accelerate such Specially Serviced Loan and commence a foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, <u>provided</u> 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 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 <u>Section 3.26</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 9.01</u> of this Agreement) be considered to be a Serviced REO 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) subject to <u>Section 1.02(g)</u> 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 <u>Section 1.02(g)</u> 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 <u>thereafter</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.10</u> unless either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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).

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any equity interest in a partnership, trust or limited liability company ("<u>Equity Collateral</u>") on behalf of any Trust REMIC unless both (A) the Special Servicer obtains all of the Equity Collateral so that such acquired entity becomes disregarded as an entity separate from the holder of such equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (B) the assets of such entity consists of "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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may, on behalf of the Trust Fund but not on behalf of any Trust REMIC, obtain title to Equity Collateral for which the foregoing requirements are not satisfied if (i) such Equity Collateral would not be deemed to be an asset of any Trust REMIC, (ii) all amounts received with respect to such Equity Collateral or the sale of such Equity Collateral would be (1) treated as payable to the Trust REMICs as credit enhancement amounts within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions or (2) applied towards the repayment of the related Mortgage Loan and (iii) 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 Equity Collateral by the Lower-Tier REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 <u>Section 3.10</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The environmental assessment contemplated by <u>Section 3.10(f)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06</u>. 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 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.10(f)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to <u>Section 3.10(f)(i)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.10(f)(ii)</u> of this Agreement that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present 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 has occurred and is continuing) and after consultation with the Operating Advisor pursuant to <u>Section 6.07</u>) 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 Regular Certificates 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 Regular Certificates 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 <u>Section 3.10(g)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The costs of any Updated Valuation obtained pursuant to this <u>Section 3.10</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06(a)</u>; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files</u>. 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 <u>Section 3.05</u> 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 <u>Section 2.03</u> 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 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 any 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.

Section 3.12 <u>Servicing Fees, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees and Special Servicing Compensation</u>. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan. The Master Servicer's rights to the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement or as provided in the second succeeding paragraph with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee.

In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional Servicing Compensation, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law and the related Loan Documents and any related Intercreditor Agreement, (i) all investment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (and with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account) and certain Reserve Accounts (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents); (ii) any Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on any Performing Loan (and the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), in each case, remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Performing Loan and to pay or reimburse the Trust for any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) relating to such Performing Loan incurred during or prior to such Collection Period, and, in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan in the related Intercreditor Agreement and as further described in <u>Section 3.12(d)</u>; (iii) any amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds (with respect to any Performing Loan or Specially Serviced Loan) on accounts maintained by the Master Servicer; and (iv) (A) 100% of any Modification Fees and consent fees (or similar fees, including release fees) related to any consents, modifications, waivers, releases, extensions or amendments of any Serviced Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that are Performing Loans that do not involve a Major Decision, (B) 50% of any Modification Fees and consent fees (or similar fees, including release

fees) related to any consents, modifications, waivers, releases, extensions or amendments of any Serviced Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that are Performing Loans that involve one or more Major Decisions (regardless of whether processed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer), (C) 100% of any defeasance fees (<u>provided</u> 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), (D) 100% of Assumption Fees or processing fees (or similar fees) with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that is a Performing Loan that do not involve a Major Decision, (E) 100% of loan service transaction fees on any Mortgage Loan that is a Performing Loan, (F) 50% of Assumption Fees or processing fees (or similar fees) with respect to Performing Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that involve a Major Decision (regardless of whether processed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer), (G) 100% of beneficiary statement charges actually received from the Borrowers to the extent such beneficiary statements are prepared by the Master Servicer (but not including Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges) on all Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are Performing Loans, (H) 100% of assumption application fees with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) for which the Master Servicer is processing the underlying assumption-related transaction (whether or not the consent of the Special Servicer is required), and (I) 0% of assumption application fees with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and Performing Loans for which the Special Servicer is processing the related assumption transaction, in each case to the extent received and not required to be deposited or retained in the Collection Account (or Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account), in each case pursuant to <u>Section 3.05</u> of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to, and to the extent provided in, <u>Section 3.06(a)(viii)</u> or <u>Section 3.07(b)</u> of this Agreement, as applicable, to withdraw from the Collection Account and to receive from any Borrower Accounts (to the extent not payable to the related Borrower under the Mortgage Loan or applicable law), Net Prepayment Interest Excess, if any, that accrue on the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and any interest or other income earned on deposits therein. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the portion of Net Default Interest and any late payment fees or penalty charges collected by the Other Servicer servicing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that are allocated to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and remaining after application thereof to reimburse interest on related P&I Advances and to reimburse the Trust for certain expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees) of the Trust, if applicable, as provided in this Agreement. Except as specified in the preceding sentence and except with respect to clause (i) in this paragraph, the Master Servicer will not be entitled to the compensation set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) in this paragraph with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

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 to the extent such fees are not prohibited under the related Loan Documents and are actually paid by or on behalf of the related Borrower.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall not charge a fee in lieu of any fee that is otherwise to be split between the Master Servicer and 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); <u>provided</u> that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the 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 <u>Exhibit AA-1</u> hereto and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as <u>Exhibit AA-2</u> 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 have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the 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 that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Master Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan 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 respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fee to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the 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). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall each pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and Serviced REO Loan to the Special Servicing Compensation, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account, as applicable, as set forth in <u>Section 3.06</u> of this Agreement. The Special Servicer's rights to the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. 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 the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on any Specially Serviced Loan remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period (and in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, as set forth in and subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) and as further described in <u>Section 3.12(d)</u> 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); (ii) (A) 100% of any Modification Fees and consent fees (or similar fees, including release fees) related to any Specially Serviced Loan whether or not such fees become due while the applicable Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or a Corrected Mortgage Loan, (B) 50% of any Modification Fees and consent fees (or similar fees, including release fees) related to any consents, modifications, waivers, extensions, releases or amendments of any Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are Performing Loans which involve one or more Major Decisions (regardless of whether processed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) and (C) 0% of any Modification Fees and consent fees (or similar fees) on Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are Performing Loans which do not involve a Major Decision, (iii) (A) 100% of any waiver, consent, earnout, processing fees or loan service transaction fees (or similar fees) or certain other similar fees paid by the related Borrower on Specially Serviced Loans, (B) 100% of Assumption Fees on Specially Serviced Loans, (C) 50% of any waiver, consent, earnout or processing fees (or similar fees) on Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are Performing Loans which involve a Major Decision (regardless of whether processed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer), (D) 50% of Assumption Fees with respect to Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are non-Specially Serviced Loans that involve a Major Decision (regardless of whether

processed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) and (E) 0% of any Assumption Fees and consent fees on Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) that are Performing Loans which do not involve a Major Decision, (iv) 100% of assumption application fees received with respect to the Mortgage Loans (and the related Serviced Companion Loans) for which the Special Servicer is processing the underlying assumption related transaction and 100% of such fees for Specially Serviced Loans, (v) 100% of beneficiary statement charges to the extent such beneficiary statements are prepared by the Special Servicer (but not including Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges) on Specially Serviced Loans, and (vi) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts and 100% of charges for checks returned for insufficient funds on the REO Account.

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.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer shall not charge a fee in lieu of any fee that is otherwise to be split between the Master Servicer and Special Servicer.

With respect to any of the fees set forth in the preceding <u>Section 3.12(a)</u> and this <u>Section 3.12(b)</u> as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof (other than a split fee with respect to Penalty Charges), 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; <u>provided</u> 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer may, in connection with a workout or other modification of a Mortgage Loan and without the consent of the Master Servicer, waive any or all related late payment charges and Default Interest, regardless of who is entitled to receive such payments as compensation; <u>provided</u> that any collections in respect of such late payment charges and Default Interest allocated to additional servicing compensation shall be shared *pro rata* by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer based on the respective portions of such late payment charges and Default Interest to which each would otherwise have been entitled.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the portion of Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Other Special Servicer servicing the related

Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and that are allocated to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Non-Serviced Mortgage 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 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 <u>Section 3.12(b)</u> with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 2.03(e)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.16(b)</u> of this Agreement as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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 <u>Section 2.03(e)</u> 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 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 (<u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.08</u> of this Agreement, except to the extent such premiums are reimbursable pursuant to <u>Section 3.08</u> 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.

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 <u>Section 3.12</u>; <u>provided</u> that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Advance Interest Amount</u>") 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 <u>Section 3.06(a)(vi)</u> or <u>Section 3.06(b)(vi)</u> 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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.06(a)(xv)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

and the related Schedule AL Additional File, in each case, in EDGAR Compatible Format and Excel format; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to prepare or deliver the CREFC<sup>®</sup> Schedule AL File or the Schedule AL Additional File unless and until the Master Servicer receives the Initial Schedule AL File and the Initial Schedule AL Additional File from the Depositor in EDGAR Compatible Format and Excel format; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that, if the Master Servicer has not received the Initial Schedule AL File and the Initial Schedule AL Additional File from the Depositor prior to the time it would need the Initial Schedule AL File and the Initial Schedule AL Additional File in order for the Master Servicer to prepare the CREFC<sup>®</sup> Schedule AL File with respect to the first Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall request the Initial Schedule AL File and the Initial Schedule AL Additional File from the Depositor, including by email to the email addresses for the Depositor set forth in <u>Section 12.05</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The costs and expenses of compliance with this <u>Section 3.14</u> 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 <u>Title and Management of REO Properties and REO Accounts</u>. (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired for the benefit of the 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 <u>Section 3.16</u> 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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>REO Account</u>"), for the benefit of the Certificateholders, each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled "Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2025-V17 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2025-V17, 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 "<u>Serviced Whole Loan REO Account</u>"), each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled "Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Benchmark 2025-V17 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2025-V17 and the related Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders REO Account", 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 <u>Section 3.07(b)</u> 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:

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with <u>Section 4.05</u>, 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 <u>clauses (i) through (iii)</u> 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 (<u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.21(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06</u> of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account or 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Whole Loan, such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement), <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) none of the provisions of this <u>Section 3.15(b)</u> 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 (in the same manner as Realized Losses as set forth in <u>Section 4.01(b)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 <u>Section 3.15(a)</u> and <u>Section 3.15(b)</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon the disposition of any Serviced REO Property in accordance with this <u>Section 3.15</u>, 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 and remit such funds to the Master Servicer on the later of (x) the date that is on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified, along with a notation of the amount of Gain-on-Sale Proceeds in the CREFC<sup>®</sup> REO Liquidation Report.

Section 3.16 <u>Sale of Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties</u>. (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 <u>Section 3.16</u> or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by <u>Section 2.03(e)</u> and <u>Section 9.01</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 use reasonable efforts to 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 has occurred and is continuing)) 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 <u>Section 3.16</u>, the Special Servicer shall accept the first cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. Subject to <u>Section 3.16(k)</u>, 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 and the Directing Holder (other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) not less than ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice of its intention to sell any such Defaulted Loan, 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 such Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 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 <u>Section 3.16(c)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.16(c)</u>.

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Subject to <u>subsection (c)</u> 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.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.16</u> or as otherwise expressly provided in an applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to 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 <u>Section 3.15(a)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.16(k)</u>, if the Special Servicer receives more 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 <u>Section 3.15(a)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.15(a)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to <u>subsections (g)</u> and <u>(h)</u> 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.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this <u>Section 3.16</u>, 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), 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 and the Directing Holder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Inspections</u>. (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 2026) and (B) less than $2,000,000 at least once every 24 months (commencing in 2026) (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); <u>provided</u> 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan. The 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; <u>provided</u>, that if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the cost of such inspections shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of general collections. 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

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 <u>Section 3.18</u>, 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 <u>Section 3.18</u>.

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 <u>Appointment of Custodians</u>. 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 <u>Article II</u>, 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 (other than the initial 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 "Baa2" from Moody's, "BBB" from Fitch and "BBB(high)" by Morningstar DBRS (or if not rated by Morningstar DBRS, at least an equivalent rating by two other NRSROs).

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.

Section 3.21 <u>Servicing Advances</u>. (a) The Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in <u>Section 3.21(c)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.21(d)</u> of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Servicing Advance in accordance with such information and instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 Noteholder(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); <u>provided</u> that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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 non-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 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 <u>Section 3.21</u>, 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.06</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06(b)</u> 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.

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 <u>Appointment and Replacement of Special Servicer</u>. (a) Greystone Servicing Company LLC is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service each Specially Serviced Loan and related REO Property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.05</u>, <u>Section 3.12</u> and <u>Section 6.03(a)</u> of this Agreement) of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, and appoint a successor Special Servicer pursuant to <u>Section 7.02</u> 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; <u>provided</u> that, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that with respect to any Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the limitations on termination without cause set forth in <u>clause (b)</u> 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, <u>provided</u> that such replacement may not be the removed Special Servicer or its Affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If at any time the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, 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); <u>provided</u> that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement.

Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance of all Principal Balance Certificates whose holders voted on the matter; <u>provided</u> that the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates that so voted on the matter (A) hold Principal Balance Certificates representing at least 20% of the outstanding Certificate Balance of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) and (B) consist of at least three Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not Risk Retention Affiliated with each other 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 applicable Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint such successor Special Servicer; <u>provided</u> 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.

If the Trustee does not receive the affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance of all Principal Balance Certificates whose holders voted on the matter described in <u>clause (i)</u> of the preceding sentence within 180 days 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 <u>Section 3.22(c)</u>, the Directing Holder shall not subsequently reappoint such terminated Special Servicer or any Risk Retention Affiliate thereof. No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this <u>Section 3.22(c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If at any time a Control Termination Event that relates to any Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates pursuant to <u>Section 4.08</u> of this Agreement) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan or 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 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 with respect to the Certificates 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 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 posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator's Website, and by mail (or through the DTC system, as applicable), and conduct the solicitation of all Voting Rights in such regard.

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 has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement. The related Noteholder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan 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.

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 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.23(e)</u> 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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 "<u>Directing Holder Asset Status Report Review Process</u>". Prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation 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, <u>provided</u> 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 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 *CCTCMBSExcludedInformation@computershare.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.

During the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, 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 has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Holder). During the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, 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 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 an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and, 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 has occurred and 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)). If the Special Servicer determines 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 promptly 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 "<u>ASR Consultation Process</u>".

After the occurrence and 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 <u>Section 3.23</u>. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but other than during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder (except with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) 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 Directing Holder determines in respect of any Asset Status Report. In addition, during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event (or with respect to an Excluded Loan applicable to the Directing Holder), the Operating Advisor shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) and propose alternative courses of action and provide 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 (or, in the case of the Operating Advisor, the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor), the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.

No direction, advice, consent, approval or disapproval of the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor 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, <u>Section 3.09</u>, <u>Section 3.16</u>, <u>Section 3.18</u> and <u>Section 3.25</u> 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, 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 Asset Representations Reviewer, 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 or materially reduce such parties' rights under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be required to follow any direction of the Directing Holder described in this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and 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 <u>Special Instructions for the Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer</u>. (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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 4.01(h)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 1.02</u>). The cost of such enforcement on behalf of the Trust shall be paid and reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 or Special Servicer, as applicable, obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any.

Section 3.25 <u>Certain Rights and Obligations of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer</u>. (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, (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 materially reduce such parties' rights, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Modification, Waiver, Amendment and Consents</u>. (a) Subject to <u>Section 3.25</u>, <u>Section 3.26(f)</u> and <u>Section 3.27</u>, and, if applicable, each Intercreditor Agreement, (i) with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and actions that do not involve Major Decisions, the Master Servicer, or (ii) (A) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or (B) as to 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 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 an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing and to the extent the Operating Advisor has consultation rights pursuant to <u>Section 3.23(e)</u>, <u>Section 3.31</u> and <u>Section 6.07</u> 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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 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 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 <u>Section 3.26(m)</u>. 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 Provisions 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 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 Major Decision other than providing the Special Servicer with any reasonably requested information or documentation. In addition, 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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may permit an extension of, forbearance, amendment, waiver or modification that would extend (or have the effect of extending) 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, 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, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Holder).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Subject to <u>Section 3.30(b)</u> hereof, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.26</u> or <u>Section 3.27</u> of this Agreement (with respect to Serviced Whole Loans) shall be in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify each other, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (other than if a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Operating Advisor (only if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.26</u> or <u>Section 3.09(b)</u>) or the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to <u>Section 3.26</u> or <u>Section 3.09(b)</u>) 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 in the form of <u>Exhibit OO</u>, to *!nacctsecnotifications@computershare.com* and an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit CC</u>. 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<sup>®</sup> 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<sup>®</sup> 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 <u>Exhibit OO</u> shall no longer be required hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 (<u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.09(f)</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Loan Documents to the contrary (but subject to the consent rights and process set forth in <u>Section 6.07</u> with respect to Major Decisions related to a defeasance transaction, if any), 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; <u>provided</u> 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 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 <u>provided</u> that the requirements set forth in <u>Section 3.09(f)</u> of this Agreement are satisfied.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified on <u>Schedule X</u> 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 "<u>Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations</u>"). 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 <u>Section 12.05</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Defeasance Accounts</u>"), 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 <u>clause (a)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> of this Agreement) of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 have the effect of placing amounts payable as compensation, or otherwise reimbursable, to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in a higher priority than that which is provided in the allocation and payment priorities set forth in <u>Section 1.02(f)</u> hereof or in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Major Decision

(or making a determination not to take action with respect to a 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, 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 non-binding consultation rights of the Operating Advisor or the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to <u>Section 6.07</u>) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a 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) 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 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, and the Special Servicer will not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer's taking any action that constitutes 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; <u>provided</u> 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, the Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) With respect to any Borrower request or other action on a Performing Loan that is not a 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 <u>Certain Intercreditor Matters Relating to the Whole Loans</u>. (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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Master Servicer shall maintain a register (the "<u>Serviced Companion Loan Noteholder Register</u>") 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 <u>Schedule VII</u> 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.

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.13</u> and <u>Section 3.17</u> 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:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

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, 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.

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 <u>Section 3.27(e)</u> may be exercisable by a designee thereof on its behalf; <u>provided</u> 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 or materially reduce such parties' rights hereunder.

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.

With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver information comparable to the above described information in <u>Section 3.13(c)</u> and <u>Section 3.13(d)</u> hereof to the same Persons as described above in <u>Section 3.13(c)</u> and <u>Section 3.13(d)</u> and according to the same time frames as described above in <u>Section 3.13(c)</u> and <u>Section 3.13(d)</u>, 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 <u>Exhibit EE</u> 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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

Section 3.28 <u>Directing Holder Contact with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer</u>. 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 has occurred and is continuing) and the Operating Advisor (for so long as an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), in each case, upon the reasonable request of the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, 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 <u>Controlling Class Certificateholders and the Directing Holder; Certain Rights and Powers of the Directing Holder</u>. (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 Directing Holder or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or its designee at any time appointed 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 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 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 Directing Holder shall execute a certification substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit L-1G</u> to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Directing Holder, any successor Directing Holder shall also execute and deliver a certification substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit L-1G</u> to this Agreement to the parties to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new 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 (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; <u>provided</u> 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, if any, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The initial Directing Holder on the Closing Date with respect to <u>clause (b)</u> of the definition of "Directing Holder" shall be 400 Capital Management LLC. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to assume each such Directing Holder or subsequent Directing Holder selected in accordance with this Agreement and notified to the Certificate Registrar thereof in writing, is the 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 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 Directing Holder is no longer designated, (iii) written notice from a Directing Holder of the resignation of such 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 of a Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Controlling Class Certificateholders to select a new 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 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 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 "<u>Initial Notice</u>") 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 "<u>Subsequent Notice</u>") 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 by Certificate Balance, shall have the right to select the Directing Holder at any time without regard to such 30-day period, and a Directing Holder selected by the Holders of a majority of the Controlling Class 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 Directing Holder is selected pursuant to this <u>Section 3.29(b)</u> or there is deemed to be no Directing Holder pursuant to this <u>Section 3.29(b)</u>, 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 Directing Holder or the absence of a 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 Directing Holder, the Certificate Administrator shall hold such election as soon as practicable at the expense of such requesting Certificateholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 has occurred and 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 whether a Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event or Operating Advisor Consultation 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, Control Termination Event or Operating Advisor Consultation 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, if any, 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 400 Capital Management 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 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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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, 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 (in the case of the Trust Directing Holder) the Controlling Class; (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 <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(iv)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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. 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.

Section 3.30 <u>Rating Agency Confirmation</u>. (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 "<u>Requesting Party</u>") 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 <u>Section 3.14</u>.

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 <u>clause (y)</u> 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) (a) it has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a CMBS transaction currently rated by Moody's that currently has securities outstanding and (b) it is not a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, that has been publicly cited by Moody's as having servicing concerns as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on "watch status" in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities rated by Moody's in a CMBS transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody's is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least "CMS3" (in the case of the master servicer) or "CSS3" (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has a then current ranking by Morningstar DBRS equal to or higher than "MOR CS3" as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, if Morningstar DBRS 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> of this Agreement.

Promptly following the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's determination to take any action discussed in this <u>Section 3.30(a)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 3.30</u>, 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 <u>Section 3.30(a)</u> (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); <u>provided</u> 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.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Property (the "<u>Relevant Action</u>") 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Appointment and Duties of the Operating Advisor</u>. (a) The Operating Advisor shall review (i) in accordance with the Operating Advisor's obligations provided under <u>Section 3.23(e)</u>, <u>Section 3.31</u> and <u>Section 6.07</u>, the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Major Decisions relating to any Performing Loan; (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator's Website with respect to the Special Servicer, assets on the CREFC® Servicer Watch List, Specially Serviced Loans; and (iii) each Asset Status Report after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event and 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.31(i)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Based on the Operating Advisor's review of (A) any assessment of compliance, any attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications 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, (B) for so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, any related Final Asset Status Report or Major Decision Reporting Package approved or deemed approved by the Directing Holder and (C) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Report and any Major Decision Reporting Package, the Operating Advisor shall (if, at any time during the prior calendar year, (i) any Serviced Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) the Operating Advisor was entitled to consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any Major Decision) deliver to the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator's Website in accordance with <u>Section 4.02(b)</u>) 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u>) within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year, an annual report (the "<u>Operating Advisor Annual Report</u>"), substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit BB</u> (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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement) that (A) sets forth whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on Performing Loans) during the prior calendar year on an Asset-Level Basis and (B) identifies (1) which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply and (2) any material deviations from the Special Servicer's obligations hereunder with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Loan that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the Operating Advisor shall

prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to the Excluded Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage 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 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 Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator's Website in accordance with <u>Section 4.02(b)</u>) 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u>); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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. Each Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required to comply with the requirements with respect to reports of the Operating Advisor set forth in Rule 7(b) of the Risk Retention Rule.

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) 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, (ii) Collateral Deficiency Amounts or (iii) net present value in accordance with <u>Section 1.02(k))</u>, the Master Servicer (with respect to clauses (i) and (ii)) or the Special Servicer (with respect to clause (iii)), 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 from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information and, in the case of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, only to the extent the Master Servicer has provided such information to the Special Servicer) 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.

In connection with this <u>Section 3.31(e)</u>, if the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency 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 such mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within seven (7) 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 or Collateral Deficiency Amount that is in the Special Servicer's possession. If 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 seven (7) 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 (<u>provided</u> such third party has been selected with reasonable care by the Certificate Administrator).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Operating Advisor's review of Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency 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, Collateral Deficiency Amount or Appraisal Reduction Amount calculation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) For so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Operating Advisor's review shall be limited to an after-the-action review of the reports, calculations and materials described above (together with any additional information and materials 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 Mortgage Loan. In addition, with respect to the Operating Advisor's review of the net present value calculations, the Operating Advisor review shall be limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the Operating Advisor's recalculation will not take into account the reasonableness of the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 4.02(c)</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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) 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 or the Special Servicer's obligations under this Agreement (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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.06</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06</u> of this Agreement, but with respect to the Operating Advisor 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing the Major Decision shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Borrower in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents; but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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; <u>provided</u> that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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, and to the extent such agents or subcontractors satisfy clauses (iii), (iv) and (vi) of the definition of "Eligible Operating Advisor". 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) 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 <u>Section 3.31(l)</u>. 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 <u>Section 3.31(l)</u> has occurred.

Section 3.32 <u>Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator</u>. (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 CCTCMBSExcludedInformation@computershare.com. For the avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this <u>Section 3.32</u> shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator's Website, and any information 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 <u>Section 4.02(b)</u>. 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 <u>Section 3.32</u> 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 <u>Section 3.14(c)</u> 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 <u>Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans</u>. (a) If a Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan (a "<u>Repurchasing Seller</u>") repurchases, or substitutes for, the Note(s) (a "<u>Repurchased Note</u>") 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 <u>Section 3.33</u> shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to <u>Section 12.08</u>, 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 <u>Section 3.33</u> 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 <u>Section 3.33</u> and <u>Section 12.08</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 <u>Section 3.33(b)(ii)</u>. 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 <u>(ii)</u>. If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this <u>Section 3.33</u> 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 <u>Section 3.33(b)(ii)</u>. Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this <u>Section 3.33</u> shall be allocated to each related Note *pro rata* based upon the respective Stated Principal Balances thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) A Joint Mortgage Loan to which this <u>Section 3.33</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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, any 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If any non-repurchased Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this <u>Section 3.33</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.33</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 <u>Section 3.33</u>, without the consent of the related

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.33</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 at the Reimbursement Rate; <u>provided</u> 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 Trustee, itself and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such amounts from the Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any amounts related to any Mortgage 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.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the applicable Repurchasing Seller is required to deliver to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Loan Documents related to the applicable Repurchased Note, any requests for release and any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of the related Mortgaged Property or to any legal action or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Note(s) or the Mortgage(s) or otherwise available at law or equity with respect to the related Repurchased Note.

Under the Risk Retention Rule, any Third-Party Purchaser is prohibited from being Risk Retention Affiliated with, among other persons, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer.

The resigning Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate will be required to bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency in connection with such resignation as and to the extent required under this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, if the affiliation causing an Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate is the result of the Third-Party Purchaser acquiring an interest in such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate or an affiliate of such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate, then such costs and expenses will be an expense of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Gain-on-Sale Accounts</u>. 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 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to <u>Section 4.01(b)</u>. 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 Available Funds for the related Distribution Date) equal to the lesser of (i) the amounts then on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and (ii) the amount of the applicable insufficiency.

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 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 <u>Section 3.05(h)</u>).

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 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 <u>clauses (i)</u> and <u>(ii)</u> shall first be deemed to have been distributed to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in reimbursement of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated thereto in the same manner as provided in <u>Section 4.01(a)</u> of this Agreement. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of any Class of Regular Certificates receiving such distributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Realized Losses</u>. On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to <u>Section 4.01(b)</u>, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, of the Realized Loss for such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. The allocation of 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-RR Certificates; *second*, to the Class G-RR Certificates; *third*, to the Class F-RR Certificates; *fourth*, to the Class E Certificates; *fifth*, to the Class D Certificates; *sixth*, to the Class C Certificates, *seventh*, to the Class B Certificates; *eighth*, to the Class A-M Certificates; and *finally*, to the Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates, *pro rata*, based on their respective Certificate Balances.

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.

Additional Trust Fund Expenses and shortfalls in 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. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made.

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 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 <u>Section 4.01(b)</u>, in each case up to the lesser of (A) the unallocated portion of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Certificates, and (iii) the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of 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. To the extent that the Certificate Balance of, and/or any interest payable on, any Class of Certificates 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 Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses of such Class of Principal Balance Certificates (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest) shall be decreased by such amount, and any interest accrued on the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses so decreased shall be deemed not to exist.

With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses 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 Corresponding Certificates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this <u>Section 4.01</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 9.01</u> 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

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

<u>provided</u> 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-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this <u>Section 4.01(j)</u> 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 <u>Section 4.01(j)</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Mortgage Loans, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated (and the Compensating Interest Payments shall be deemed distributed) among the various Classes of Certificates and 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) 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 <u>Section 3.06(e)(v)</u> of this Agreement.

The Certificate Administrator shall, in addition to posting the applicable notices on the "U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices" tab described in <u>clause (viii)</u> above, provide email notification to any Privileged Person (other than Financial Market Publishers) that has registered to receive access to the Certificate Administrator's Website that a notice has been posted to the "U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices" tab.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Excluded Information shall be made available under a separate tab or heading designated "Excluded Information" (and not under any of the tabs or headings described in items (i) through (vii) above) and made available to Privileged Persons other than Excluded Controlling Class Holders (unless loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access by an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans). The "U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices" tab shall be available to Privileged Persons (other than any Financial Market Publisher).

Any Person that is a Borrower Party shall only be entitled to access (a) the Distribution Date Statements, and the following items made available to the general public: the Prospectus, this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and the Commission filings

on the Certificate Administrator's Website, and (b) in the case of the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, if any such Person becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the forms of <u>Exhibit L-1D</u> and <u>Exhibit L-1E</u> and upon delivery to the Certificate Administrator in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit L-1F</u>, which shall include each of the CTSLink User ID's associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder, all information (other than Excluded Information) available on the Certificate Administrator's Website (unless loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access by an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans).

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

With respect to any Excluded Information, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall mark or label such information as "Excluded Information" prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator's Website such Excluded Information (and may be segregated on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans. 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 and/or any failure to label any such information provided to the Certificate Administrator).

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively 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 <u>Exhibit L-1B</u> 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, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly 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, as applicable, 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, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

The 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.

Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (and in the case 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 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 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; <u>provided</u> that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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, <u>provided</u> 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 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, <u>provided</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Subject to <u>Section 3.13</u>, 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 <u>Section 4.01</u> of this Agreement and preparing the statements to Certificateholders required by <u>Section 4.02(a)</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

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 <u>Section 4.02(h)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Exhibit L-2</u> to this Agreement, all the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC<sup>®</sup> reports and supplemental notices delivered or made available pursuant to this <u>Section 4.02</u> to Privileged Persons.

Section 4.03 <u>Compliance with Withholding Requirements</u>. 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 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 <u>REMIC Compliance</u>. (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 Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Trust REMIC as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(iii)</u> of this <u>Section 4.04(a)</u> 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 comparable provisions of state and local law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 (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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(vi)</u> of the first paragraph of this <u>Section 4.04(a)</u> or which results in any action contemplated by <u>clauses (i)</u> or <u>(ii)</u> 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 (<u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 4.04</u>. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely 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 <u>Section 4.04</u>.

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, Form 8811 and any other tax form reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator; <u>provided</u> that the Certificate Administrator shall be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (or any other tax forms as may be necessary) (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 Trust 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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, <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 9.01</u> 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.

Section 4.05 <u>Imposition of Tax on the Trust Fund</u>. 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 (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; <u>provided</u> that any such tax imposed on net income from

foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in <u>Section 3.06(a)(xii)</u> or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, in <u>Section 3.06(b)(xiii)</u>, 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 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 related 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 Regular Certificates, 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, <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under <u>Section 6.03</u> of this Agreement, in the case of the Master Servicer, <u>Section 4.04</u> of this Agreement, in the case of the Trustee or <u>Section 4.04</u> 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.

Section 4.06 <u>Remittances</u>. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges, and, for deposit in accordance with <u>Section 3.05(i)</u> of this Agreement,

Gain-on-Sale Proceeds, in each case received by the Master Servicer in its Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) [Reserved]; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) remit to CREFC<sup>®</sup> the CREFC<sup>®</sup> Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee.

Section 4.07 <u>P&I Advances</u>. (a) On or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the 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, with respect to the Mortgage Loans 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; <u>provided</u> 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<sup>®</sup> 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<sup>®</sup>. 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 <u>Section 7.06</u> 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. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to <u>Section 4.07(c)</u> and <u>4.07(d)</u> 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 (excluding any portion of an REO Loan related to any other Companion 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 <u>Section 3.26</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 has occurred and 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) 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 has occurred and 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 has occurred and 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); <u>provided</u> 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 has occurred and 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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 non-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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account pursuant to <u>Section 3.06(a)</u> of this Agreement or any Serviced Whole Loan Collection Account pursuant to <u>Section 3.06(b)</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06</u>) (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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in <u>Section 4.06</u> of this Agreement, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Yield Maintenance Charges 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 and 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; <u>provided</u> 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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 4.07(a)</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 4.07(a)</u> 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 with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan to

the extent that it has received 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 any Mortgage 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; <u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 3.06</u> of this Agreement together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such P&I Advances to the extent permitted pursuant to <u>Section 3.06</u> 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 <u>Appraisal Reductions; Collateral Deficiency Amounts</u>. (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 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-RR Certificates, *second*, to the Class G-RR Certificates, *third*, to the Class F-RR Certificates, *fourth*, to the Class E Certificates, *fifth*, to the Class D Certificates, *sixth*, to the Class C Certificates, *seventh*, to the Class B Certificates, *eighth*, to the Class A-M Certificates, and *ninth*, to the Class A-2 and Class A-3 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 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 the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, 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 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 Eligible Certificates shall be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which shall constitute the applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with this <u>Section 4.08(a)</u>.

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 the occurrence of 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 of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount (which notification shall be made by delivery of the CREFC<sup>®</sup> Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with <u>Section 3.13(a)</u>), any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction 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<sup>®</sup> Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC<sup>®</sup> 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<sup>®</sup> Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with <u>Section 3.13(a)</u>). 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). In addition, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Special Servicer of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to each Mortgage Loan, AB Modified Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Balance of such Class (such Class, an "<u>Appraised-Out Class</u>") 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 "<u>Requesting Holders</u>"), 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 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; <u>provided</u> 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 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.

Appraisals 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 60 days after an Appraisal Reduction Event (or in the case of an Appraisal Reduction Event occurring by reason of clause (ii) of the definition thereof, within 30 days of such 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Special Servicer, upon reasonable request, shall deliver to the Master Servicer any information in the Special Servicer's possession reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount.

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 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 <u>[Reserved].</u><u>Secure Data Room</u>. (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 <u>Exhibit KK</u> hereto (which shall be sent via email to *trustadministrationgroup@computershare.com* or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator's website). In no case whatsoever shall Certificateholders be permitted to access the Secure Data Room. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to post any documents or information to the Secure Data Room other than the contents of the Diligence Files initially delivered to it by the Depositor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to <u>Section 8.07</u>, 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 <u>Section 8.07</u>. 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 9.01</u>, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room. Upon deletion pursuant to this <u>Section 4.10</u>, 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.

The Class R Certificates will 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> that, for purposes of transmitting communications pursuant to <u>Section 5.05(a)</u> 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 <u>Section 5.01(e)</u> 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 <u>Section 5.01</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 ("<u>DTC</u>"), 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 the 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Exhibit A-1</u> through <u>Exhibit A-14</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 5.02(m)</u>. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the "<u>Retained Interest Safekeeping Account</u>" 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; <u>provided</u> that the Certificate Administrator has given notice to each of the Retaining Parties of such new location:

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 <u>Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates</u>. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its offices books (the "Certificate Register") for the registration, transfer and exchange of Certificates (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the "<u>Certificate Registrar</u>"). 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 5.01(h)</u> and <u>Sections 5.02(c)</u>, <u>(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u>, <u>(f)</u>, <u>(g)</u>, <u>(h)</u> and <u>(i)</u> of this Agreement. Upon request of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar shall provide the Certificate Administrator with the names, addresses and Percentage Interests of the Holders. In its capacity as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, holding each HRR Certificate as Individual Certificates on behalf of each Holder of such Certificates in accordance with <u>Section 5.01(j)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Individual Certificate, subject to the requirements of <u>Sections 5.02(c)</u>, <u>(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u>, <u>(f)</u>, <u>(g)</u>, <u>(h)</u> and <u>(i)</u> of this 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 Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the Individual Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with <u>Section 5.02(e)</u> of

this Agreement. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar. Each new Certificate issued pursuant to this <u>Section 5.02</u> shall be registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may request, subject to the provisions of <u>Sections 5.01(h)</u> and <u>5.02(c)</u>, <u>(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u>, <u>(f)</u>, <u>(g)</u>, <u>(h)</u> and <u>(i)</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In addition to the provisions of <u>Sections 5.01(h)</u> and <u>(j)</u> and <u>5.02(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u>, <u>(f)</u>, <u>(g)</u>, <u>(h)</u> and <u>(i)</u> of this Agreement and the rules of the Depository, the exchange, transfer and registration of transfer of Private Certificates that are Individual Certificates or beneficial interests in the Private Global Certificates shall be subject to the following restrictions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchasers to an initial investor, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of such Individual Certificate pursuant to Regulation S after the expiration of the Restricted Period if (1) the transferor has provided the Certificate Registrar with a Regulation S Transfer Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit G</u> to this Agreement (a "<u>Regulation S Transfer Certificate</u>"), and (2) the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter; or

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>All Transfers</u>. 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 <u>Section 5.02</u> 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 <u>Section 5.01(j)</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in <u>Section 5.01(i)</u> and in this <u>Section 5.02</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) An Individual Certificate (other than an Individual Certificate issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate pursuant to <u>Section 5.01</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Subject to the provisions of this <u>Section 5.02</u> regarding transfer and exchange, transfers of the Global Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such Global Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor's nominee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 5.02</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement, transfers of the 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. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) No transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made to (i) an employee benefit plan or other plan or 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 ("<u>Similar Law</u>") which is to a material extent similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Code Section 4975 (each, a "<u>Plan</u>") 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 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 will 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 ERISA 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 (<u>provided</u> 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 an ERISA 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 <u>Exhibit D-2</u> 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 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 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 an ERISA 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 ERISA Restricted 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 ERISA Restricted Certificate will not constitute a non-exempt violation under Similar Law. Any transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate that would constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or violate any 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 "<u>ERISA Plan</u>") 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, any Initial Purchaser, any Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, any Borrower, or any borrower sponsor 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 ("<u>Fiduciary</u>"), in connection with its acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 5.02(l)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Exhibit C-1</u> (a "<u>Transferee Affidavit</u>") 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 knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, (v) the proposed transferee will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person and (vi) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this <u>Section 5.02(l)</u> and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Class R Certificates, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as <u>Exhibit C-2</u> (the "<u>Transferor Letter</u>"), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee's statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; <u>provided</u> that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction or transfer imposed under <u>Article V</u> of this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Certificate (including, without limitation, the Securities Legend), or any interest therein, other than to require delivery of the certification(s) and/or opinions of counsel described in <u>Article V</u> applicable with respect to changes in registration of record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate Register. The Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers, including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of applicable restrictions.

Upon written notice to the Certificate Registrar, or upon the Certificate Registrar having actual knowledge, that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) in contravention of

the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Ownership Interest, or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar 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; <u>provided</u> that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Exhibit C-3</u> or <u>Exhibit C-5</u>, as applicable, 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 <u>Exhibit C-4</u> or <u>Exhibit C-6</u>, as applicable, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, (iii) a W-9 completed by the Transferee and (iv) wire instructions and contact information of the Transferee, the Certificate Administrator (which may conclusively rely upon such certifications) shall instruct the Certificate Registrar to register such Transfer. Upon receipt of the Certificate Administrator's instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to <u>Section 5.02(e)</u>, 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 <u>Exhibit MM</u> 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 <u>Exhibit C-3</u> or <u>Exhibit C-5</u>, as applicable, 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 <u>Exhibit C-4</u> or <u>Exhibit C-6</u>, as applicable, 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 held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period. After the Transfer Restriction Period, a Retained Certificate may be transferred subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this <u>Article V</u>. Any transfer of an

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) [Reserved].

Section 5.03 <u>Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates</u>. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it and the Certificate Administrator harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the 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 <u>Section 5.03</u>, 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 <u>Section 5.03</u> shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the corresponding interest in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.04 <u>Appointment of Paying Agent</u>. The Certificate Administrator may appoint a paying agent (a "<u>Paying Agent</u>") for the purpose of making distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to <u>Section 4.01</u> of this Agreement.

The initial Paying Agent shall be the Certificate Administrator. Except for the Certificate Administrator, as the initial Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall at all times be an entity having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least "Baa2" from Moody's, "A" from Fitch and an equivalent rating from Morningstar DBRS (if rated by Morningstar DBRS), or shall be otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency, as confirmed by a receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(a) If any Certifying Certificateholder (for purposes of this <u>Section 5.05</u>, an "<u>Applicant</u>") applies in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the Applicant desires to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to its rights under this Agreement, the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, afford such Certificateholder (at such Certificateholder's sole cost and expense) access during normal business hours to a current list of the Certificateholders related to the Class of Certificates held by such Certificateholder.

Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishing to communicate with other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners regarding the exercise of its rights under the terms of this Agreement (such party, a "<u>Requesting Investor</u>") may deliver a written request (a "<u>Communication Request</u>") signed by an authorized representative of the Requesting Investor to the Certificate Administrator. Any Communication Request shall contain the method other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners should use to contact the Requesting Investor, and, if the Requesting Investors is not the registered holder of a Class of Certificates, then the Communication Request must contain (i) a written certification from the Requesting Investor that it is a beneficial owner of a class of certificates, (ii) the name of the transaction, Benchmark 2025-V17 and (iii) one of the following forms of documentation evidencing its beneficial ownership in such class of certificates: (A) a trade confirmation, (B) an account statement, (C) a medallion stamp guaranteed letter from a broker or dealer stating the Requesting Investor is the beneficial owner, or (D) a document reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator that is similar to any of the documents identified in clauses (A) through (C). The Certificate Administrator shall not be permitted to require any information other than the foregoing in verifying a Certificateholder's or Certificate Owner's identity in connection with a Communication Request. Requesting Investors will be responsible for their own expenses in making any Communication Request, but will not be required to bear any expenses of the Certificate Administrator. Upon receipt of such request, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to such Applicant a list of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding its Certificate, agrees with the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar that the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such Special Notice to Certificateholders, regardless of the information set forth in such Special Notice.

Proof of execution 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

Section 5.08 <u>Voting Procedures</u>. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 5.08(a)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Unless otherwise paid for by any Holder pursuant to <u>Section 8.01</u> or <u>Section 8.02</u>, or <u>clause (e)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) No resignation or removal of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as contemplated by the preceding paragraphs of this <u>Section 6.04</u> 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 Advisor's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to <u>Section 10.09</u>, (iii) any other information required under <u>Section 10.03</u> or <u>Section 10.09</u> 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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 <u>Section 6.04(e)</u>.

Section 6.05 <u>Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer</u>. 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, <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.06</u> and <u>Section 6.03(a)</u> 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. 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 <u>The Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owners of a Certificate</u>. 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 <u>Section 6.06</u>, (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 <u>The Directing Holder and the Operating Advisor</u>. (a) For so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and 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) as to all Major Decisions, and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to Performing Loans (other than any applicable Excluded Loan or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to Major Decisions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to, this <u>Section 6.07</u>, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-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 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 "<u>Major Decision Reporting Package</u>") (<u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 6.07 (a)</u> or <u>(c)</u> that requires the consent or consultation of the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor, 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 or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder's or the Operating Advisor's response, as applicable.

If a Control Termination Event is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and 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 Business 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Special Servicer shall provide (solely with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan) each Major Decision Reporting Package prepared by the Special Servicer to the Operating Advisor promptly after the Special Servicer receives the Directing Holder's approval or deemed approval of such Major Decision Reporting Package. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously with the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as applicable, 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. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall make available to the Operating Advisor a

servicing officer with the relevant knowledge regarding the applicable 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.

In connection with any Major Decision processed by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall provide any final Major Decision Reporting Package prepared by it to the Master Servicer promptly after the Directing Holder's approval of such final Major Decision Reporting Package.

If an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Master Servicer or 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, <u>provided</u> that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer, 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 and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this <u>Section 6.07</u> for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The failure of any of the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor 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 or the Operating Advisor 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 has occurred and 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; <u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction from the Directing Holder and no advice from 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 or Master Servicer's responsibilities or materially reduce such parties' rights 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 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 Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advice and notify the Directing Holder 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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 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 has occurred and 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; <u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of this <u>Section 6.07</u>, (a) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request with respect to a Performing Loan, and (b) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that is not a Major Decision with respect to any Performing Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) without any obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with any other person. Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a 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 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 Major Decision.

With respect to any Borrower request or other action on Performing Loans that is not a Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) if a Control Termination Event has occurred and 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 has occurred and is continuing but no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and 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 has occurred and 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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, if any, 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

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.

Section 6.08 <u>Rights of Non-Directing Holders</u>. With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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); <u>provided</u> that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement) 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, 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 (or such shorter period as provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement) 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 (or such shorter period as provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement) 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

If the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this <u>Section 7.01(a)</u>, then the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under this <u>Section 7.01(a)</u> solely due to a Master Servicer Termination Event under <u>Section 7.01(a)(vii)</u>, <u>(viii)</u> or <u>(ix)</u> 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 <u>Section 7.01(a)</u>.

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 "<u>Servicing Retained Bid</u>"); and (ii) on the basis of terminating each Sub-Servicing Agreement and Sub-Servicer that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with <u>Section 3.01(c)</u> of this Agreement (each, a "<u>Servicing Released Bid</u>"). 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 "<u>Successful Bidder</u>") to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; <u>provided</u> that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation in accordance with the procedures set forth in <u>Section 3.30</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.12</u> 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 Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this <u>Section 7.01(a)</u>, 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 <u>Section 7.01(a)</u> 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 <u>Section 7.01(a)</u> 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 <u>Section 7.01(a)</u>. The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with <u>Section 7.02</u> of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Article VII</u>, 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 <u>Section 7.01(a)(vii)</u>, <u>(viii)</u> or <u>(ix)</u> 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 <u>clause (a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 contained in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (or (A) with respect to any year that 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 <u>Article X</u> (except as otherwise provided under <u>clause (x)</u> 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 by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or in any event such reasonable shorter period of time as is necessary to avoid the commencement of foreclosure proceedings for any lien relating to unpaid real estate taxes or assessments or a lapse in any required insurance coverage) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Special Servicer, by (a) any other party hereto, with a copy to each other party to this Agreement, (b) the Holders of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any breach on the part of the Special Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in <u>Section 2.04(b)</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Moody's (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 Serviced Companion Loan Securities, as applicable, or (B) placed one or more Classes of Certificates or Serviced Companion Loan Securities, as applicable, on "watch status" in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or "watch status" placement shall not have been withdrawn by Moody's (or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency, as applicable), within sixty (60) days of

such rating action) and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) (a) the Special Servicer has failed to maintain a ranking by Morningstar DBRS equal to or higher than "MOR CS3" as a special servicer and such ranking is not reinstated within sixty (60) days of such event or (b) if the Special Servicer has not been ranked by Morningstar DBRS on or after the Closing Date, and Morningstar DBRS (or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency) has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn the then-current rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates in this securitization or one or more classes of Serviced Companion Loan Securities or placed one or more Classes of Certificates in this securitization or one or more classes of Serviced Companion Loan Securities on "watch status" in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal, publicly citing servicing concerns with such master servicer as the sole or material factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or "watch status" placement has not been withdrawn by Morningstar DBRS within 60 days of such event); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) subject to <u>Section 10.16(c)</u>, any failure by the Special Servicer to deliver (a) any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under <u>Article X</u> by the time required under <u>Article X</u> or (b) any Exchange Act reporting items that a Sub-Servicing Entity retained by the Special Servicer (but excluding any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer) is required to deliver (any Sub-Servicing Entity shall be terminated if it defaults in accordance with the provision of this <u>clause (x)</u>), 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 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 has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Holder, or (z) the Depositor with respect to clause (ii) above (to the extent such Special Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by <u>Article X</u>) or <u>clause (x)</u> above upon five (5) Business Days' notice, shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer (other than the rights to indemnification provided in <u>Section 6.03(a)</u> of this Agreement and compensation provided in <u>Section 3.12(c)</u> of this Agreement). In the case of <u>clause (vii)</u>, <u>(viii)</u> or <u>(ix)</u> above, the Trustee shall, upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of such Special Servicer Termination Event, notify the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice or upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of such Special Servicer Termination Event, shall notify the Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders of such Special Servicer Termination Event and request whether such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders, favor such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding <u>Section 7.01(a)</u>, (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 or withdraws its rating of such Serviced Companion Loan Security, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Master 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 direct the Master Servicer to appoint a sub-servicer (or if a sub-servicer 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 a replacement sub-servicer with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan; <u>provided</u> that such sub-servicer meets the eligibility requirements of a successor master servicer under <u>Section 7.02</u> (including receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any) and the eligibility requirements of each Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding <u>Section 7.01(b)</u>, (i) if any Special Servicer Termination Event occurs that affects a Serviced Companion Loan and the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated or (ii) if an NRSRO engaged to rate a Serviced Companion Loan Security qualifies, downgrades 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this <u>Section 7.01</u>, the Trustee (the "<u>Terminating Party</u>") shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the "<u>Terminated Party</u>"), 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 <u>Section 6.03</u> 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 <u>Section 3.12(c)</u> 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 <u>Section 7.01</u> to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at 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 <u>Section 7.01</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 10.09</u>, (iii) any other

information required under <u>Section 10.03</u> or <u>Section 10.09</u> 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 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 <u>Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor</u>. Upon the receipt of a notice of termination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to <u>Section 7.01</u> of this Agreement, the Terminating Party (subject to <u>Section 7.01(a)</u> and <u>Section 7.01(c)</u>) shall be its successor, until a successor is appointed by the Directing Holder as provided in this <u>Section 7.02</u> or <u>Section 3.22(b)</u>, 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, <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 3.07</u> 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 has occurred and 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 has occurred and is continuing, has been 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; <u>provided</u> 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 has occurred and 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; <u>provided</u> 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. Any successor Special Servicer shall be subject to the rights of the Directing Holder under <u>Section 3.22(b)</u> 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 <u>Section 7.02</u> as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Master Servicer's Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate's compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this <u>Section 7.02</u>, 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 <u>Section 7.02</u>.

Section 7.03 <u>Notification to Certificateholders and Other Persons</u>. (a) Upon its receipt of written notice of any termination pursuant to <u>Section 7.01</u> 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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 <u>Other Remedies of Trustee</u>. 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 <u>Section 7.01</u> 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 <u>Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Operating Advisor Termination Events; Termination</u>. 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 (within 20 days of the receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator of the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event) 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 <u>Section 7.01(a)(ii)</u> (to the extent such Master Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by <u>Article X</u>) or <u>Section 7.01(a)(x)</u> or a Special Servicer Termination Event under <u>Section 7.01(b)(ii)</u> (to the extent such Special Servicer Termination Event relates to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting contemplated by <u>Article X</u>) or <u>Section 7.01(b)(x)</u> of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor and each affected Other Depositor.

Section 7.06 <u>Trustee as Maker of Advances</u>. 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 <u>Section 4.07(a)</u> 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); <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Termination of the Operating Advisor</u>. (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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

<u>provided</u> 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any failure by the Operating Advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

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.

The Trustee shall sign all Tax Returns and other reports required by this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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<sup>®</sup> 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 <u>Section 9.01(c)</u>, 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 <u>Section 3.05(a)</u> 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.

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 <u>Section 9.01(c)</u> 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) of this <u>Section 9.01</u>, 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, 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 <u>Section 4.01(b)</u> of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> 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.

The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to Certificateholders shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 9.01</u> 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.

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 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 <u>Section 9.01</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of <u>Section 9.01(a)</u> by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; <u>provided</u> 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 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 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 <u>Section 3.06(a)</u> of this Agreement or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Accounts pursuant to <u>Section 3.06(g)</u> 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 Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to <u>Section 3.05</u> of this Agreement.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such Form 10-D where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator's inability or failure to receive on a timely basis any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports) and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days."

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 <u>Section 10.13</u> from the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers in form and substance similar to the annual report on assessment of compliance described in this Section (or in such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be) and the attestation described in <u>Section 10.13</u>. 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 <u>Section 10.13</u> for any year that the Trust formed under this Agreement is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Service Providers if such parties fail to deliver to the Certificate Administrator such assessment of compliance and attestation within the time frame required by such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 10.13 <u>Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report</u>. By March 1st, of each year, commencing in March 2026, 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 <u>Section 3.16(d)</u> 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 <u>Section 10.12</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 (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 <u>Section 10.13</u> 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 <u>Exchange Act Reporting Indemnification</u>. 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 and the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party, the Depositor (and any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan), their respective directors and officers, and each other person who controls any such entity within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of (i) the failure to perform its obligations to the Depositor (or any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) under this <u>Article X</u> by the time required, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information (x) regarding such party or any Servicing Function Participant, Additional Servicer or subcontractor engaged by it (other than any Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer), (y) prepared by any such party described in clause (x) or any registered public accounting 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 <u>Article X</u>, 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; <u>provided</u> 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 to the Depositor (or any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee related to an Other Securitization that includes a Serviced Companion Loan) under this <u>Article X</u> by the time required or (iv) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

In addition, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall cooperate (and require each Servicing Function Participant and Additional Servicer retained by it to cooperate under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement) with the Depositor (and each Other Depositor) 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 ("<u>Reporting Requirements</u>").

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 ("<u>Affected Reporting Party</u>"), (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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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 <u>Section 10.14</u>. 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; <u>provided</u> 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 Reviewer, the

Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any 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.

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 "<u>Performing Party</u>") 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 <u>Article X</u>. 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 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.

Section 10.15 <u>Amendments</u>. This <u>Article X</u> may be amended by the written consent of all the parties hereto pursuant to <u>Section 12.07</u> for purposes of complying with Regulation AB without, in each case, any Opinions of Counsel, Officer's Certificates, Rating Agency Confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement.

Section 10.16 <u>Exchange Act Report Signatures; Delivery of Notices</u>. (a) Each Form 8-K report, Form 10-D report, Form 10-K report and Form ABS-EE shall be signed by the Depositor in accordance with procedures to be agreed upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator. The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation at 1 Columbus Circle, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Lainie Kaye, with a copy to Salvatore Palazzolo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything in <u>Section 12.04</u> to the contrary, any notice required to be delivered to (i) the Depositor under this <u>Article X</u> shall be properly given if sent by email to *cmbs.request@db.com* (or such other email address as the Depositor may instruct) and (ii) to the Certificate Administrator under this <u>Article X</u> shall be properly given if sent by email to *!nacctsecnotifications@computershare.com* (or such other email address as the Certificate Administrator may instruct).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) For the avoidance of doubt:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Neither Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, pursuant to the second 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, during any grace period provided for in such second clause; <u>provided</u> that if any such party fails to comply with the requirements of this <u>Article X</u> by the expiration of any applicable grace period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event with respect to such party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Article X</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor does not receive the report on assessment of compliance and/or attestation report pursuant to <u>Section 10.12</u> and <u>10.13</u>, 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 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 <u>Article X</u> and <u>Section 7.01</u> of this Agreement, a "<u>Servicer Notice</u>" 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 <u>Section 12.05</u>, 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 <u>Section 7.01</u>). 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 <u>Section 7.01(a)(x)</u> or <u>Section 7.01(b)(x)</u>, respectively, for the failure of any Servicing Function Participant or Sub-Servicing Entity to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items pursuant to this <u>Article X</u>.

Section 10.17 <u>Termination of the Certificate Administrator</u>. 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 <u>Article X</u>; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 10.06</u>, <u>Section 10.07</u>, <u>Section 10.09</u>, <u>Section 10.11</u>, <u>Section 10.12</u> or <u>Section 10.13</u> 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 <u>Section 10.17</u> 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 <u>Section 10.17</u> on the date on which such Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K is so filed.

**ARTICLE XI<br>THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER**

Section 11.01 <u>Asset Review</u>. (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 <u>Article XI</u> 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 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 "<u>Asset Review Vote Election</u>"), 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 "<u>Affirmative Asset Review Vote</u>"), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) (i) Upon receipt of such notice of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote (the "<u>Asset Review Notice</u>"), the Custodian (with respect to <u>clauses (1)</u> – <u>(5)</u> for all Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to <u>clauses (6)</u> and <u>(7)</u> for Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to <u>clauses (6)</u> and <u>(7)</u> 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 <u>clause (7)</u>) 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 "<u>Review Materials</u>"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>clauses (1)</u> through <u>(6)</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 12.05</u> 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 Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver such additional documents only to the extent in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller; <u>provided</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 11.01</u> hereof (such information, "<u>Unsolicited Information</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Exhibit JJ</u> hereto (such review, the "<u>Asset Review</u>"). 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 <u>Exhibit JJ</u> (each such procedure, a "<u>Test</u>"); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in <u>Exhibit JJ</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 "<u>Cure/Contest Period</u>") 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 "<u>Asset Review Report</u>") 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 "<u>Asset Review Report Summary</u>") 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 (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the BCREI Purchase Agreement), which, in each case, shall be a responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer pursuant to <u>Section 2.03(g)</u> of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 2.03(d)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <u>Section 11.01</u>; <u>provided</u> 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, 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 <u>Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability</u>. (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; <u>provided</u> that the total payment to the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be greater than the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap (the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee</u>"). With respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset Review (the "<u>Subject Loans</u>"), the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Cap</u>" shall equal the sum of: (i) $21,750 multiplied by the number of Subject Loans, plus (ii) $2,175 per Mortgaged Property relating to the Subject Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $2,875 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,600 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 <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(iv)</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; <u>provided</u> 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, 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.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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, <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer</u>. (a) 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 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 <u>Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer</u>. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, 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 <u>Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer</u>.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights; <u>provided</u> that if such failure is capable of being cured and the Asset Representations Reviewer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30 day period shall be extended by an additional 30 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material

respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

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

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

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

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice (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 <u>Section 11.01(a)</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this <u>Section 11.05</u>, 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 <u>Section 11.03</u> 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 <u>Section 11.03</u> 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 <u>Section 11.05</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 the continuance of 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).

**ARTICLE XII<br>MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS**

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 <u>Section 2.03(k)(i)</u>, 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 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 <u>Section 12.02</u>, 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.

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 to prevent the imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are outstanding; <u>provided</u> 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 <u>Section 12.08</u> 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 <u>Section 12.08</u>, the Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Noteholders.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this <u>Section 12.08</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund or any such Trust REMIC.

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 <u>clauses (i)</u>, <u>(ii)</u> or <u>(iii)</u> of the first sentence of this <u>Section 12.08</u> (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 <u>Section 3.14(d)</u> 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.

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, <u>provided</u> that the amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (obtained at the expense of the repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller) with respect to such amendment (or, if no such Rating Agency Confirmation is actually received, by an opinion of counsel to such effect). Prior to the effectiveness of such amendment, if one but not all

of the Notes with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the terms of <u>Article III</u> shall govern the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan.

Section 12.09 <u>Confirmation of Intent</u>. 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 <u>No Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries</u>. Except as specified in <u>Section 12.12</u> 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 <u>Section 12.12</u> 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 <u>Entire Agreement</u>. 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.

Section 12.12 <u>Third Party Beneficiaries</u>.

This certifies that [<u> </u>] 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 September 1, 2025 (the "<u>Pooling and Servicing Agreement</u>"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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.

A-1-2

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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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. 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

A-1-3

(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 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

A-1-4

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; and (xiv) 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). 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.

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

A-1-5

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; <u>provided</u> 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 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; <u>provided</u> 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; <u>provided</u> 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 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 any other change; <u>provided</u> that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or any holder of a Pari Passu Companion Loan not consenting thereto 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 of the Rating Agencies with respect to such amendment or supplement 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 (<u>provided</u> 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 by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies;

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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage Loan as

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.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that [<u> </u>] 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 September 1, 2025 (the "<u>Pooling and Servicing Agreement</u>"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing

A-2-2

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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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 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

A-2-3

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 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

A-2-4

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; and (xiv) 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). 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.

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

A-2-5

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.

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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) all unpaid interest accrued on the unpaid balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage Loan as

This certifies that [<u> </u>] 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 September 1, 2025 (the "<u>Pooling and Servicing Agreement</u>"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing

A-3-2

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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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 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

A-3-3

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 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

A-3-4

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; and (xiv) 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). 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.

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

A-3-5

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.

This certifies that [<u> </u>] 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 September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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.

A-4-2

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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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 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

A-4-3

(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 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

A-4-4

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 certifies that [<u> </u>] 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 September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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.

A-5-2

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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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. 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

A-5-3

(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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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.

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-6-5

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.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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, or if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing in October 2025.

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.

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-7-5

"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.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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-RR 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 October 2025.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class F-RR 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-8-5

"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.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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-RR 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 October 2025.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class G-RR 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-9-6

"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.

A-9-7

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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-RR 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 October 2025.

During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on the Class J-RR 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-10-6

"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.

A-10-7

This certifies that [<u> </u>] 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 September 1, 2025 (the "<u>Pooling and Servicing Agreement</u>"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing

A-11-2

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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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 Amount 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 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

A-11-3

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 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

A-11-4

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; and (xiv) 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). 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.

Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

A-11-5

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 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.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that [<u> </u>] 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-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 September 1, 2025 (the "<u>Pooling and Servicing Agreement</u>"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing

A-12-2

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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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 Amount 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 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

A-12-3

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 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

A-12-4

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; and (xiv) 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). 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.

Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

A-12-5

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, dated as of September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). 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 "<u>Distribution Date</u>") 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 October 2025. 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 Amount 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-13-5

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.

A-13-6

This certifies that [<u> </u>] 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 September 1, 2025 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), between the Depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer (the "<u>Master Servicer</u>"), Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer (the "<u>Special Servicer</u>"), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the "<u>Certificate Administrator</u>"), as custodian and as paying agent, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the "<u>Operating Advisor</u>") and as asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the "<u>Asset Representations Reviewer</u>") evidences the issuance of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class B, Class C, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR and Class R Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as "<u>Certificateholders</u>"). 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 "residual interest" 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 (the "<u>Code</u>"). Each Holder of this

<sup>1</sup> For Rule 144A Certificates

<sup>2</sup> For Rule 144A Certificates

A-14-4

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 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

A-14-5

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; and (xiv) 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). 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

A-14-6

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.

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.

Re: <u>Transfer of Benchmark 2025-V17 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2025-V17: Class [ ]</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 2025 (the "<u>Pooling and Servicing Agreement</u>"), entered into between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer, Greystone Servicing Company LLC, as special servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, as certificate administrator, as paying agent and as custodian, on behalf of the holders of Benchmark 2025-V17 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the "<u>Certificates</u>") with respect to the transfer by [__________] (the "<u>Seller</u>") to the undersigned (the "<u>Purchaser</u>") of [$_____ aggregate Certificate Balance][_____% Percentage Interest] of Class [_____] Certificates, in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the "<u>Certificate</u>"). 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 "<u>Securities Act</u>"), or an entity in which all of the equity owners are such accredited investors (an "<u>Institutional Accredited Investor</u>"), and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of 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

D-1-1

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 ("<u>Rule 144A</u>") promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"). 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 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 September 12, 2025, relating to certain
of the Certificates (the " <u>Private Placement Memorandum</u> ") 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.

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 " <u>Certificateholder</u> "), 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.

D-1-2

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.

☐ 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 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.

(1) Debt Service Coverage
 Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases the most current
 DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information from the offering document
 is used. The debt service coverage ratio information was provided to the Certificate Administrator by the Master Servicer and the
 Certificate Administrator has not independently confirmed the accuracy of such information.

(2) Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are
 each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the
 Maturity Date.

(3) Data in this table was calculated by
 allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut Off Date Balance of each property as disclosed
 in the offering document. The Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC
 Loan Periodic Update File. To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the "State" and "Property"
 stratification tables is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained
 by loans that have been modified into a split loan structure. The "State" and "Property" stratification tables
 do not include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a "hope note") of a loan that has been
 modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the senior
 note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.© 2021 Computershare. All rights reserved. Confidential. Page 8 of 25

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:

AA-2-1

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified pursuant to any applicable state securities laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration and qualification and (A) the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

AA-2-2

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. The Transferee is (a) a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b) an "accredited investor" as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs. The Transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Excess Servicing Fee Right; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic risks of such investment and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The Transferee agrees (i) to keep all information relating to the Trust, the Trust Fund and the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and made available to it, confidential, (ii) not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act, and (iii) not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such holder's auditors, legal counsel and regulators, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law, court order or other legal requirement or to the extent such information is of public knowledge at the time of disclosure by such holder or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such holder; provided, however, that such holder may provide all or any part of such information to any other Person who is contemplating an acquisition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right if, and only if, such Person (x) confirms in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in writing to keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such Persons' auditors, legal counsel and regulators.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.

Loans: [LIST]. The Operating Advisor participated in discussions and made strategic observations and recommended alternative courses of
action to the extent it deemed such observations and recommendations appropriate.

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 conclusion. For instance, we did not review underlying lease agreements or similar underlying documents, re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculation, visit any 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 the corresponding application of

In the course of such review, the following calculations of the special servicer were initially disputed by the Operating Advisor and [DISCUSS RESOLUTION].

**IV. Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report**

Operating Advisor did not participate in, or have access to, the Special Servicer's and Directing Holder 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.

pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth
therein 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees to pay its Pro Rata Share of (i) any Servicing Advances and any interest accrued and payable on such Servicing Advances at the Advance Rate and (ii) any Trust Fund Expenses and any other fees, costs or expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property (including, without, limitation, any costs, fees and expenses related to obtaining any Rating Agency Confirmation and any Indemnified Items) in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement to the extent that such amounts remain unpaid or unreimbursed after funds received from the Mortgage Loan Borrower for payment of

Section 3. <u>Priority of Payments</u>. Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) shall apply to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu basis all amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan, or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents), but excluding (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents (to the extent, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Servicing Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable (except for (i) any reimbursements of P&I Advances (and interest thereon) made with respect to a Note, which may only be reimbursed out of payments and collections allocable to such Note, (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of any Non-Lead Securitization Note's *pro rata* share of that portion of such Servicing Fees calculated at the "primary servicing fee rate" (or analogous term) applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) to any Servicer (or the Trustee as successor to the Servicer), with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including without limitation, any additional trust fund expenses relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to second paragraph of <u>Section 5(d)</u> hereof) and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph), amounts paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower in respect of modification fees or assumption fees and any other additional compensation payable pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement).

For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid shall be allocated to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis and applied *first*, to reduce, on a *pro rata* basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to reimburse, on a *pro rata* basis, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any Servicing Advances made by any such party in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and to pay any interest to such parties that has accrued on any such Servicing Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, *second*, to reduce, on a *pro rata* basis, the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer or any Non-Lead Trustee, as

applicable, for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), *third*, to reduce, on a *pro rata* basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses (including, if not paid by the related Mortgagor, Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and *finally*, (x) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable to the Lead Securitization Note, to pay the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and (y) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable to any Non-Lead Securitization Note, to pay, (i) prior to the securitization of such Non-Lead Securitization Note, to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and (ii) following the securitization of such Non-Lead Securitization Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent required under the REMIC Provisions of the Code, payments or proceeds received with respect to any partial release of the Mortgaged Property (including following a condemnation) from the lien of the applicable Mortgage and Mortgage Loan Documents must be allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the manner permitted by such REMIC Provisions if, immediately following such release, the loan-to value ratio of the Mortgage Loan exceeds 125% (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property and going concern value).

Any Note Holder that receives proceeds from the sale of the primary servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall remit to the other Note Holders, promptly upon receipt thereof, such amounts as are required such that each Note Holder receives its pro rata share of such proceeds on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis. Any proceeds received by any Note Holder from the sale of master servicing rights with respect to its Note shall be for its own account.

Section 4. <u>Workout</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter payments to the Note Holders pursuant to <u>Section 3</u>, which shall be made as though such workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, and the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such workout shall be borne by the Note Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis (up to their respective Note Principal Balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the Interest Rate and any other amounts due to each Note Holder, as applicable).

Section 5. <u>Administration of the Mortgage Loan</u>. (a) Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to <u>Section 5(b)</u>) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder

Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder's administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes together with the Lead Securitization Note as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell each Non-Lead Securitization Note together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell any Non-Lead Securitization Note together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the Trustee or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan if it becomes a Defaulted Loan without the written consent of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders (<u>provided</u> that such consent is not required if any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is a Borrower Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days' prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage 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 the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder that are material to the sale price of the Mortgage Loan and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to the other offerors and the Directing Holder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by any Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; <u>provided</u> that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Controlling Note Holders and the applicable Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan unless such person is a Borrower Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) will not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (<u>provided</u> that such consent is not required from any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder that is a Borrower Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 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 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; <u>provided</u> that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements described in this sentence. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its representative) that is not a Borrower Party shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.

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

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders to execute

and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization is terminated in accordance with its terms.

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

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, but others are not, other Note Holders whose Notes are not included in a REMIC shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Note Holders be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

Section 6. <u>Appointment of Controlling Note Holder Representative and Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative</u>. (a) The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the "<u>Controlling Note Holder Representative</u>"). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. When exercising its various rights under this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder).

All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer, Trustee or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment (and such parties will be entitled to rely on such notice), an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such Person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the "controlling class representative" or similar party under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Major Decisions related to a "Specially Serviced Loan" (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent

or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer's implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Major Decision as to which the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder and reasonably available to the Special Servicer as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.

If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision, together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Days such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event pursuant to the Lead Securitization Agreement (or consultation with the Controlling Note Holder after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement)), is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder's response.

No objection contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer's obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

The Controlling Note Holder shall have no liability to the other Note Holders or any other party for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holders, and

that the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Controlling Note Holder shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative (other than a Borrower Party) in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Non-Controlling Note Holder, the "<u>Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative</u>"). Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under <u>Section 5</u> and elsewhere in this Agreement, each Non-Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the related Non-Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the related Non-Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the related Non-Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than such Non-Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by each Non-Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by a Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of such Non-Controlling Note Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) No Servicer, Trustee, Asset Representations Reviewer, Operating Advisor or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative until the related Non-Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Trustee, Asset Representations Reviewer, Operating Advisor and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the related Non-Controlling Note Holder, the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Trustee, Operating Advisor and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment (and such parties will be entitled to rely on such notice), an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such Person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The related Non-Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) (1) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required to provide to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative) (i) notice, information and reports with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan (similar to such notice, information and report

it is required to deliver to the Directing Holder pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Directing Holder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (2) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis with respect to any such Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions in the summary of the Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by the related Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Non-Controlling Note Holder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period unless the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto. Notwithstanding the consultation rights of any Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Special Servicer acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Special Servicer) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In addition to the consultation rights of a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (either telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) 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 Mortgage Loan are discussed; provided that each Non-Controlling Note Holder, at the request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

Section 7. <u>Appointment of Special Servicer</u>. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to

replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to the other Note Holder, the Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and, if such replacement Special Servicer does not have the Required Special Servicer Rating for each Rating Agency then rating a Non-Lead Securitization, delivering a Rating Agency Confirmation from each such Rating Agency. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this <u>Section 7</u> and promptly deliver all information necessary for any Non-Lead Securitization to comply with any applicable reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Any such appointment of a replacement Special Servicer will not become effective unless all such information has been delivered to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid.

If a Special Servicer Termination Event has occurred with respect to the Special Servicer that affects a Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced). The Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holders acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at any Non-Controlling Note Holder's direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. The applicable Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee's or the Controlling Note Holder's, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account.

Section 8. <u>Payment Procedure</u>. (a) The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in <u>Section 3</u> and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments and collections on the Mortgage Loan to the Collection Account and the portion of such payments and

collections that are distributable to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders shall be deposited into the Companion Distribution Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall (i) deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower and (ii) remit from the applicable account (A) prior to the Securitization Date, within two Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds (unless otherwise specified pursuant to an interim servicing agreement) and (B) on or after the Securitization Date, (i) with respect to the Lead Securitization Note, the remittance date under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) with respect to each Non-Lead Securitization Note, (x) prior to the related Non-Lead Securitization, the remittance date under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Lead Securitization Note and (y) on or after the related Non-Lead Securitization, the earlier of the remittance date under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and the Business Day immediately succeeding the "determination date" set forth in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Note, <u>provided that</u> (i) such "determination date" shall not be earlier than the 1st day of the month and (ii) the date on which remittance is required under this sub-section (a) is at least one Business Day after the scheduled monthly payment date under the Mortgage Loan Agreement. All payments received and allocable pursuant to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Notes (net of amounts payable or reimbursable from such account) shall be paid by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the applicable Note Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder's request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it receives from any source any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall

promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder(s), subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder's obligations under this <u>Section 8</u> constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9. <u>Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders</u>. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement governing limitation on the liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder.

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder's exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above. However, the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 10. <u>Bankruptcy</u>. Subject to <u>Section 5(b)</u>, each Note Holder hereby agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not any of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead

Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 11. <u>Representations of the Note Holders</u>. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder's charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder's actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder's actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 12. <u>No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right</u>. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates and if any Note Holder chooses to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates.

Section 13. <u>Other Business Activities of the Note Holders</u>. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the other Note Holders or their Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 14. <u>Sale of the Notes</u>. (a) Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, participate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose (either (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through entering into a derivatives contract or any other similar agreement, excluding a repo financing or a Pledge in accordance with <u>Section 14(d)</u>) of a Note (a "<u>Transfer</u>") except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after any Transfer, the non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from the transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except (i) in the case of a Transfer to a Securitization (and the related pooling and servicing or similar agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), (ii) in the case of a Transfer to a Qualified Institutional Lender that is an affiliated transferee of such Note Holder in connection with a transfer for internal bookkeeping or other corporate purposes, or (iii) in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in <u>Section 15</u>. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain (x) prior to a Securitization, the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder, in which case such new Note Holder shall be deemed to be a Qualified Institutional Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) if such non-transferring Note Holder's Note is held in a Securitization Trust, Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the applicable Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust (after which, such new Note Holder shall be deemed to be a Qualified Institutional Lender pursuant to this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder's prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder's Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without Rating Agency Confirmation, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it will pay the expenses of the non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to the confirmation from the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder, the Rating Agencies or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its Note or any beneficial interest in its Note whether or not the related transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender. None of the provisions of this <u>Section 14(a)</u> shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders' obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any Note Holder may pledge (a "<u>Pledge</u>") its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with such Note Holder that, in each case, is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least "A" (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency or to an entity with respect to which Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained pursuant to this <u>Section 14</u> (each a "<u>Note Pledgee</u>"), on terms and conditions set forth in this <u>Section 14(c)</u>, it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any Person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a "Pledge" hereunder and Rating Agency Confirmation shall not be required, <u>provided</u> that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to any other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to any other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, <u>provided</u> that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a "<u>Redirection Notice</u>") to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder's obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and each Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder's or Servicer's compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. A Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder's rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and

after such Transfer (*i.e.*, realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this <u>Section 14(c)</u> shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit ("<u>Conduit</u>") which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The loan (the "<u>Conduit Inventory Loan</u>") made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the "<u>Conduit Credit Enhancer</u>") to provide credit enhancement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder's Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 15. <u>Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder</u>. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the "<u>Note Register</u>") for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this <u>Section 15</u>, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note Holder is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holders. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such Person as its agent under this <u>Section 15</u> solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

In connection with any Transfer of a Note occurring hereafter (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (<u>unless</u> the transferee is a Securitization Trust or the Transfer is to a transferee in connection with a transfer to a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in <u>Section 14</u>, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of <u>Section 14</u> and this <u>Section 15</u>. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and the other Note Holders against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16. <u>Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder's interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder). The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys' fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Note Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder's exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall

not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

Section 25. <u>Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents</u>.

Section 26. <u>Cooperation in Securitization</u>. (a) Each Note Holder acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder's expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Lead Securitization Note Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that either in connection with the Lead Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to the Lead Securitization, none of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments to, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or (ii) materially increase a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders' obligations or materially decrease any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders' rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the Lead Securitization, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization such information concerning such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the related Non-Lead Securitization Note as the Lead Securitization Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that it shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder's expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the related Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document.

GS, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder.

The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement.

Section 31. <u>Resizing</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as an Initial Note Holder or an affiliate of an Initial Note Holder (the "<u>Resizing Holder</u>") is the owner of any Non-Lead Securitization Note (the "<u>Owned Note</u>"), and such Owned Note is not included in a Securitization, such Resizing Holder shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, "<u>New Notes</u>") reallocating the principal of the Owned Note to such New Notes or severing the Owned Note into one or more further "component" notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Owned Note; <u>provided</u> that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments or re-allocations, (iii) all Notes pay *pro rata* and on a *pari passu* basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) the Resizing Holder holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Resizing Holder (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New

Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in <u>Section 5</u>), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of the other Notes. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to (i) through (iv), as certified by the Resizing Holder, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal (which may include the amendment or addition of applicable defined terms to reflect the New Notes) or such severing of such Owned Note; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, (i) no such amendment to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement may require the Master Servicer to violate the Servicing Standard, and the delivery of such certification by the resizing Note Holder will constitute satisfaction of the Servicing Standard, and (ii) the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a modification or amendment to this Agreement shall not be required in connection with the exercise of any rights under this Section 31. If an Owned Note is severed into "component" notes, such component notes shall each have the same rights as the related Owned Note. If the Controlling Note is involved in any resizing contemplated by this <u>Section 31</u>, the applicable Note Holder shall be entitled to designate any one of the related New Notes as the Controlling Note, and the definitions of "Controlling Note" and "Controlling Note Holder" shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly. Any New Note that is created in a resizing contemplated by this <u>Section 31</u> and is not the Controlling Note shall be deemed to be a Non-Controlling Note under this Agreement, the definitions of "Non-Controlling Note" and "Non-Controlling Note Holder" shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly to include such New Notes, and the applicable Note Holders of such Non-Controlling Notes shall have the same rights and responsibilities as all other Non-Controlling Note Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, Rating Agency Confirmation shall not be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this Section 31.

Section 32. <u>Not a Security</u>. No Note shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Initial Note Holders have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
