Transfer Event” shall mean any of the events specified in the Servicing Agreement, whereby the servicing of the Mortgage
Loan is required to be transferred to the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer. 

 

“Special
Servicer” shall mean the special servicer of the Mortgage Loan as appointed under the terms of this Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement, or any successor special servicer appointed as provided thereunder and hereunder. 

 

“Special
Servicing Fee” shall have the meaning given to such term in the Servicing Agreement.

 

“Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan” shall mean the Mortgage Loan during the period it is serviced by the Special Servicer following
a Servicing Transfer Event.

 

“Transfer” shall mean any assignment, pledge, conveyance, sale, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance, grant of a security interest, issuance
of a participation interest, or other disposition, either directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise. 

 

“Trustee” shall mean the trustee under the Note A-1 PSA or the Note A-2 PSA, as the context requires. 

 

2.             Servicing
of the Mortgage Loan. (a) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to the specific terms of this Agreement,
the Mortgage Loan shall

 

    -11-

     

    

 

be
serviced from and after the Note A-1 Securitization Date, by the Note A-1 Master Servicer and the Note A-1 Special Servicer pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement and the Note A-1 PSA. Each Holder agrees to reasonably cooperate with each Servicer with respect
to its exercise of its rights and obligations under the Servicing Agreement. 

 

(b)           Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the appointment
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and the appointment of the Special Servicer
by the Directing Holder and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the
servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. Each Holder hereby appoints the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably
required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Servicing Agreement (subject
at all times to the rights of the Holders as set forth herein and in such Servicing Agreement).

 

(c)           If,
at any time the Lead Note is no longer in a Securitization, the Note A-1 Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant
to a servicing agreement that is substantially similar to the Servicing Agreement (and, if any Non-Lead Note is in a Securitization,
a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agencies that were engaged by the Depositor to rate such Securitization) and all
references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent Servicing Agreement; provided,
however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement has been entered into (and such written confirmation has been obtained),
the Note A-1 Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement as if such
agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, however,
that until a replacement Servicing Agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any Qualified
Servicer appointed by the Note A-1 Holder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing
Agreement that was previously in effect.

 

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

 

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

 

(f)           If
any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning
of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall
be administered

 

    -12-

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

3.             Priority
of Notes. Note A-1 and Note A-2 shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any of Note A-1 or Note A-2 shall have priority
or preference over any portion of the other Note or security therefor. Except for the Excluded Amounts, all amounts tendered by
the Borrower or otherwise available for payment on the Mortgage Loan, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, a balloon
payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other instrument serving as security on the Mortgage
Loan, proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings
or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be distributed by the Master Servicer and applied to Note A-1 and Note
A-2 on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

The
Servicing Agreement may provide for the application of Penalty Charges paid in respect of the Mortgage Loan to be used to (i)
pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for interest accrued on any Property Advances and reimbursement of
Property Advances, (ii) to pay the parties to any Securitization for interest accrued on any P&I Advance, (iii) to pay certain
other expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (iv) to pay to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as
additional servicing compensation, except that, for so long as Note A-2 is not included in a Securitization, any Penalty Charges
allocated to Note A-2, that are not applied pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) above shall be remitted to the respective Holder and
shall not be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer without the express consent of such Holder.

 

    -13-

     

    

 

4.             Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement
and Section 13 of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Note
Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such
that (i) the Mortgage Loan Principal Balance is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest
or principal on Note A-1 or Note A-2 are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment
terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured
to preserve, the equal priorities of Note A-1 and Note A-2 as described in Section 3.

 

5.             Accounts;
Payment Procedure. The Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection
Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer,
in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, (i)
to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement all payments received
with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account for deposit or credit on the applicable
Master Servicer Remittance Date all payments received with respect to and allocable to Note A-1 and Note A-2 by wire transfer
to accounts maintained by the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder, respectively; provided that any late collections
received by the Master Servicer after the related due date under the Mortgage Loan shall be remitted by the Master Servicer in
accordance with Section 18(d)(vii) of this Agreement. 

 

If
any Servicer holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of Note A-1 or Note A-2 determines, or
a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of Note A-1 or Note A-2
must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Borrower or
paid to the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder, or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Servicer shall be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note
A-2 Holder, as applicable, and the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, shall promptly on demand repay to such
Servicer the portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable,
together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer shall have been required to pay to the Borrower, the Note
A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder, any Servicer or such other person or entity with respect thereto. Each of the Note A-1 Holder
and the Note A-2 Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the
Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable,
with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable,
under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the obligations of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder under this Section
5 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall any Servicer enforce the obligations of any
Holder against any other Holder. The obligations of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder under this Section 5 constitute
absolute, unconditional

 

    -14-

     

    

 

and
continuing obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of these provisions. 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)          This
Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification
and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law.

 

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

 

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

 

    -15-

     

    

 

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

 

(viii)        It
is a Qualified Transferee.

 

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

 

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

 

10.           Not
a Security. Neither of Note A-1 nor Note A-2 shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

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

 

    -16-

     

    

 

12.           Transfer
of Notes. (a) Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note whether or not
the related transferee is a Qualified Transferee without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Each Holder shall not Transfer more than
49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Holder
has consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee”
for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received
with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee”
for all purposes under this Agreement, (iii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee, or (iv) such Transfer is in connection
with a sale by a Securitization Trust; provided that if such Transfer is a Transfer of the Lead Note, such Transfer is
to a Qualified Transferee. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Holder hereunder and
agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Such proposed transferee (except
in the case of Transfers that are made in connection with a Securitization) shall also remake each of the representations and
warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Holder’s
prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization,
without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the Depositor to rate the securities issued
in connection with such Securitization, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower or an Affiliate
of a Borrower and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. None
of the provisions of this Section 12(a) shall apply in the case of a sale of Note A-1 together with Note A-2, in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization PSA.

 

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

 

(c)           The
Holders acknowledge that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute
discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge the transferring Holder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating
Agency Confirmation.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder may pledge or transfer (a “Pledge”) its Note to any
entity (other than a Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower) that has extended a credit facility to such Holder or has entered
into a repurchase agreement with such Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution
whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note
Pledgee”), or to a Person with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained, on terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 12(d), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to any Holder or any
Affiliate that controls such Holder that is secured by such Holder’s interest in its respective Note and is structured as
a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder on the condition

 

    -17-

     

    

 

that
all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 12 are complied with. A Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Transferee
may not take title to a Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice, if any, by the pledging Holder to the
other Holders and the Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee),
the other Holders agree to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agree: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice
of any default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual
knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the pledging Holder; (ii) to allow
such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to
the other Holders hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification,
waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (if the pledging Holder had the right to consent to such amendment,
modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written
consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall
be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver
or termination within 10 days after request therefor; (iv) that the other Holders shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of
any default of the pledging Holder which such pledging Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by
such pledging Holder; (v) that the other Holders or Servicer shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note
Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
other Holders; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the Servicer by such Note Pledgee
that the pledging Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the pledging Holder’s obligations
to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the pledging
Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Holder), and until such Redirection
Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee (or at any time that pledging Holder otherwise directs that
such payment be made to Note Pledgee pursuant to a separate notice) shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Servicer
would otherwise be obligated to make to the pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement.
Any pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the
pledging Holder on account of any Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer
or other Holders in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its
rights and remedies against the pledging Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance
with applicable law, the pledge agreement, repurchase agreement or similar agreement between the pledging Holder and the Note
Pledgee and this Agreement. In such event, or if the pledging holder otherwise assigns its interests to the Note Pledgee, the
other Holders and the Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than a Borrower or any Affiliate of
a Borrower) that is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in
lieu of foreclosure), and such Person’s successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Holder’s rights, remedies
and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations
of the pledging Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note
Pledgee)

 

    -18-

     

    

 

and
agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 12(d)
shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified such Holder
(and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated. 

 

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

 

(b)           The
Lead Servicer and the related Trustee shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Non-Lead Note Holders in connection with the administration
of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Servicer and the related Trustee from their respective obligation
under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

 

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

 

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

 

    -19-

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Servicer on behalf of the Holders of its rights under this Section
13 shall be subject in all respects to any section of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event
shall the Servicer be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action if taking or failing to take such action,
as the case may be, would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents or be inconsistent
with the Servicing Standard or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or violate the REMIC

provisions
of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(f) of this Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

(c)           In
the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Servicing
Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any
other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole)
and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

 

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

 

    -21-

     

    

 

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

 

15.           Appointment
of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Directing Holder shall have the right at any time
and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and
appoint a Qualified Servicer as the replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. The Directing Holder shall designate a Person
to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to the other Holders and the parties to the Note A-1 PSA and the Note A-2 PSA a written
notice stating such designation and by satisfying the other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including, without
limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), if any.

 

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

 

(i)            to
provide copies of the same notices, information and reports that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to
the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Actions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset
Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan to the Non-Directing Holders (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder
actually has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), within the same time
frame as specified with respect to the Directing Holder (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has
lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), provided, however,
that if Note A-1 or Note A-2 has been included in a Securitization transaction, then for any information for which the Special
Servicer would be required to provide to such Non- Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall provide such notice to the master
servicer of the other Securitization transaction, who shall forward such notice as and when required under the terms of the related
Securitization documents; and

 

(ii)           to
consult with each Non-Directing Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, if, having received such notices, information and reports,
such Non-Directing Holder

 

    -22-

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

17.           Advances;
Reimbursement of Advances. (a) From time to time, (i) pursuant to terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Servicer and/or
the related Trustee may be obligated to make (1) Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property
and (2) P&I Advances with respect to the Lead Note and (ii) pursuant to the terms of a Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, the related
Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee may be obligated to make P&I Advances with respect to a Non-Lead Note.
The Lead Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Lead Note
and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect
to any Lead Note, any other Non-Lead Note or any Property Advance. The Lead Servicer, each Non-Lead Master Servicer and any Trustee
will be entitled to interest on any Advance made in the manner and from the sources provided in the Note A-1 PSA or the Note A-2
PSA, as applicable.

 

(b)           The
Lead Servicer and the related Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Advance, first from
the Collection Account established with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and then, if such Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable
Advance,

 

    -23-

     

    

 

if
such funds on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided
in the Servicing Agreement.

 

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

 

(d)           The
parties to each of the Note A-1 PSA and the Note A-2 PSA shall each be entitled to make their own recoverability determination
with respect to a P&I Advance based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Note A-1 PSA, or
the Note A-2 PSA, as applicable.

 

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

 

18.           Provisions
Relating to Securitization.

 

(a)
New Notes. For so long as Note A-2 is not in a securitization, the Note A-2 Holder shall have the right, subject to the terms
of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case
“New A-2 Notes”) reallocating the principal of Note A-2 among other New A-2 Notes; reducing the Interest
Rates of such New A-2 Notes or severing the Note A-2 into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal
amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of Note A-2, provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the New
A-2 Notes following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of Note A-2 prior to such amendments, (ii) all New
A-2 Notes continue to have the same or a lower interest rate as the Note A-2 prior to such amendments, (iii) all New A-2 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 Note A-2 Holder holding the New A-2 Notes shall notify the parties to the Note A-1 PSA
in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. In connection with the foregoing, (1) the Master Servicer is hereby
authorized to execute amendments to the Loan Agreement and this Agreement (or to amend and restate the Loan Agreement and this
Agreement) on behalf of any or all of the Holders solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal,

 

    -24-

     

    

 

reduction
of Interest Rates or such severing of Note A-2, (2) if Note A-2 is severed into “component” notes, such component
notes shall each have their same rights as the respective original Note and (3) the definition of the term “Securitization”
and all of the related defined terms may be amended (and new terms added, as necessary) to reflect the New A-2 Notes. Rating Agency
Confirmation shall not be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this paragraph 18(a).

Non-Lead Servicing Agreement shall provide that:

and Trustee of each other Securitization of the amount of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to the Note included in
such Securitization within two Business Days of making such advance;

 

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

 

(iii)          in
the event such Non-Lead Note Holder is responsible for its proportionate share of any Nonrecoverable Advances (or any other portion
of a Nonrecoverable Advance) (and advance interest thereon) or other fee or expense pursuant to Section 17, and funds received
with respect to such Non-Lead Note are insufficient to cover such amounts, (x) the related master servicer will be required to
pay the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, out of general funds in the
collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non- Lead Servicing Agreement and (y) if the Lead Servicing
Agreement permits the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement to pay itself from the Lead Securitization
Trust’s general account then the master servicer under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement will be required to reimburse
the Lead Securitization Trust Fund out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the
related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;

 

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

of Trustee and the master servicer under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall acknowledge that, (i) each of
the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement will be a third party beneficiary under the Non-

Note A-2 Securitization Date. Such notice shall contain contact information for each of the parties to the Note A-2 PSA and the

Lead Securitization PSA shall:

 

(i)            provide
that the Master Servicer and Trustee for such Securitization shall be required to notify the servicer, special servicer and Trustee

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

(iv)          provide

(v)           provide
that the Master Servicer, any primary servicer, the Special Servicer and the Lead Trustee, certificate administrator or other
party acting as custodian for the Lead Securitization shall be required to deliver (and shall be required to cause each other
servicer and servicing function participant (within the meaning of Items 1123 and 1122, respectively, of Regulation AB) retained
or engaged by it to deliver), to the parties to any Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, at its own expense, in a timely manner, the
reports, certifications, compliance statements, accountants’ assessments and attestations, information to be included in
reports (including, without limitation, Form 15G, Form 10K, Form 10D, Form 8K), and other materials specified in each of the other

AB in a future Securitization and, if such Lead Servicer is not also the Non- Lead Master Servicer, the applicable special servicer
or other party to the related Non- Lead Servicing Agreement, or a primary servicer who is a servicing function participant, or

would otherwise be included in the monthly remittance to the Holder of such Non-Lead Note for such month; provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such late collections or principal prepayments to the Non-Lead Master Servicer
within one Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts
within two Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds;

Dear Frank:

As I advised you on September 20, 2016, your employment with Kemper Corporate Services, Inc. (“Company”) will terminate effective December 31, 2016 (your "Separation Date") unless you chose to terminate your employment effective at an earlier date.  Until your Separation Date, your salary will continue at its current base amount and will be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices.  Additionally, you will continue to accrue vacation and participate in the Company’s benefit plans, in accordance with the terms of the applicable policies and plans. Finally, you will be reimbursed for all reasonable business expenses you actually and properly incur prior to your Separation Date, in accordance with the Company’s regular policies and practices, and provided you submit receipts or other appropriate documentation for such expenses.
This letter outlines the Company’s expectations during the transition period (i.e., the period between the date of this letter and your Separation Date), and describes the terms and conditions under which the Company will provide a severance payment to you.  Specifically, during the transition period: 
(a)You will report directly to me as a senior advisor and handle only that work and those assignments on which I expressly ask for your assistance.  At this point, I expect your primary assignments will be to transition your Chief Financial Officer functions and assist with other projects as they arise;
(b)In the performance of your assignments, you may work from the Company’s offices or from home, provided you keep me generally advised where you are working and make yourself available, as needed.  Any business travel must be pre-approved by me;
(c)    You must execute your assignments in a satisfactory manner, seeking further guidance from me if you have any questions.  You must devote your best efforts towards protecting and furthering the Company’s business and relationships, and cooperate fully in the transitioning of your duties as I direct;
(d)    You must comply with all Company policies and procedures and fully abide by your obligations to protect the Company’s confidential information and proprietary materials, including as set forth in any applicable agreements or policies;

Frank J. Sodaro

Page 2

(e)    You shall not access or seek to have access to the Company’s internal databases, unless and except as required to perform your approved assignments;
(f)    You shall not take any actions on behalf of the Company or any related entity (including the signing of contracts, agreements or commitments), or otherwise hold yourself out as authorized to act on its/their behalf, unless authorized to do so in the course of performing approved assignments;
(g)    You must not disparage the Company, any related entity, or its/their officers, directors, agents, employees, vendors, members, products or services; 
(h)    You must submit your signed resignation in the form attached in Exhibit 1, by October 7, 2016; and
(i)    You must keep any subsequent discussions with me regarding the terms of your separation, this letter, the attached proposed “Separation Agreement,” attached as Exhibit 2 (“Agreement”), strictly confidential.  You may, of course, discuss these matters with your wife, attorneys, accountants, or as required by law.  I will work with you to prepare internal and external announcements regarding your separation from the Company. 
During the transition period and for up to nine months following your Separation Date, the Company will provide Executive Premium Service outplacement to you through Lee Hecht Harrison.  The Company will instruct the Kemper Corporation Executive Officers to not make statements that are disparaging toward you, and the Company will not disparage you in external press releases or formal internal communications regarding your departure.
Following the transition period, and provided you have returned a signed copy of this letter and satisfied all of the conditions described herein, the Company will offer you a severance payment of $450,000.00 (less required withholdings), which amount is equal to twelve (12) months of your current base salary.  The Company’s provision of the severance payment will be subject to and conditioned upon your execution (after your Separation Date), delivery, non-revocation, and continuing compliance with the terms of the Agreement. The severance payment will be paid to you by check, in accordance with the Agreement.
Please acknowledge your understanding and agreement to the terms outlined herein by signing and returning this letter to me on or before October 7, 2016.  If you have any questions concerning these matters, you may contact me by email (jlacher@kemper.com) or telephone (312.661.4620).

BACKGROUND

Employer does not provide severance pay on the termination of employment as a matter of right or entitlement.  Severance pay is a benefit provided solely at Employer’s discretion under appropriate circumstances and only when Employer receives a signed release of claims before payments begin.
In consideration of Employee’s cooperation and assistance in the transition of Employee’s responsibilities, Employer has determined that it is appropriate to provide severance pay to Employee and Employee wishes to take advantage of that benefit.  Employee and Employer now wish to specifically describe Employee’s severance benefits and the parties’ respective rights and obligations.

(c)Employee has been paid all wages, benefits, and other compensation owed to Employee by Employer through the Separation Date, subject to the obligation of Employer for the payment of: (i) salary at Employee’s current base rate through the Separation Date; ii) expense reimbursement reports that are outstanding on the date hereof or which are submitted hereafter pursuant to Section 15; (iii) all paid time off (“PTO”), if any, that will be accrued but unpaid on the Separation Date.

(e)Other than as set forth in paragraph 2(c)(iv) above, the termination of Employee’s employment will result in the forfeiture of: (a) any amounts potentially payable to Employee as a cash bonus for 2016 or any prior year, whether pursuant to the multi-year incentive awards granted to Employee in 2015 under the Kemper Corporation 2009 Performance Incentive Plan, in accordance with such plan and the agreements governing such awards to which Employee is a party, or otherwise; and (b) any outstanding Restricted Stock Unit awards and Stock Option and SAR awards under the Kemper Corporation 2011 Omnibus Equity Plan or its predecessor plans, in accordance with such plan(s) and the termination provisions of the respective award agreements to which Employee is a party, subject to the post-termination exercise provisions in the applicable Stock Option and SAR agreements; 

(f)The severance payment shall not be deemed “compensation” for purposes of any of Employer’s qualified retirement plans or other benefit programs and payment of the severance payment does not entitle Employee to any retirement plan contributions by Employer for Employee’s benefit or account;

(g)Employee is not entitled to any additional or future compensation or benefits arising out of Employee’s employment with Employer, except for such compensation or benefits, if any, arising under the retirement, welfare benefits, bonus and equity compensation plans of Kemper Corporation to which Employee may be entitled by virtue of Employee’s employment with Employer, subject in all cases to the terms and conditions of the plans and agreements governing such compensation and benefits;  
(h)Employee is not entitled to any severance pay pursuant to the Kemper Corporation Employee General Severance Pay Plan; and

5.     Confidentiality, Nondisparagement, Nonsolicitation and Return of Property.

Employee agrees to the following covenants, subject to the provisions of Section 6 (b) and (c) below: 

(a)Confidentiality.  Employee agrees not to disclose, communicate, use to the detriment of Employer or for Employee’s own benefit or the benefit of any other person, or misuse in any way any confidential information or trade secrets of Employer;  

(b)Nondisparagement.  Employee agrees not to make statements to clients, customers and suppliers of the Employer or to other members of the public that are in any way disparaging or negative towards the Employer or its products and services, and agrees not to encourage or aid any person or entity in the pursuit of any claim or cause of action against Employer except as may be permitted by law.  Employer agrees that it will instruct the Kemper Corporation Executive Officers to not make statements that are disparaging toward Employee, and Employer will not disparage Employee in external press releases or formal communications regarding Employee’s departure;

(c)Nonsolicitation.  Employee agrees to not, for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Separation Date, solicit, induce or entice any person then employed by Employer to leave the employ of Employer.  This prohibition applies only to employees with whom Employee had Material Contact pursuant to Employee’s duties during the period of twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Separation Date and includes, without limitation, all officers of Kemper Corporation.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Contact” means interaction between Employee and another employee of Employer:  (i) with whom Employee actually dealt, or (ii) whose employment or dealings with Employer or services for Employer were handled, coordinated, managed, or supervised by Employee.  If Employee breaches the terms of this Section, Employee shall be liable for any attorneys’ fees incurred by Employer in seeking enforcement of this Section and Employer will have the right to seek other legal and equitable relief; and

(d)Return of Property.  Employee agrees to return to Employer all Employer credit cards, identification cards, access cards and keys to Employer’s properties or facilities that Employee may have in his or her possession.  Employee shall return any and all Employer confidential files and all Employer confidential and proprietary information that Employee may have in his or her possession.  Employee shall return any and all of Employer's property, including but not limited to, computer equipment, peripherals, printers, and company vehicles, other than the iPad and cellular phone that Employee was previously issued.  Employer will return Employee’s Company laptop computer to him for his personal future use after the hard drive is imaged for preservation purposes and all data is wiped from the device for security purposes.  Employer agrees that Employee may retain the phone number assigned to the cellular phone that Employer provided to Employee.  Employee will be responsible for taking all necessary steps to transfer such number to an account in Employee’s name and will be responsible for all costs of maintaining service for such phone number after the Separation Date, and Employer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Employee in connection with such steps.

	Consideration to Employer - Release of Claims and Agreement Not to Sue. 

3

(a)    Except as stated below, Employee hereby forever releases, discharges and holds harmless Employer and its respective parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, and their officers, directors, shareholders, principals, employees, insurers, and agents (“Released Parties”) from any claim or cause of action whatsoever which Employee either has or may have against Employer resulting from or arising out of or related to Employee’s employment by Employer, or the termination of that employment, including any claims or causes of action Employee has or may have pursuant to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”); the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (“OWBPA”); Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Illinois Human Rights Act; the Employer Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; and any other law or regulation of any local, state or federal jurisdiction.
(b)    This release does not apply to any claims or rights that may arise after the date that Employee signs this Agreement, or relate to the consideration for this Agreement, vested rights under the Employer’s employee benefit plans as applicable on the date Employee signs this Agreement, or any claims that the controlling law clearly states may not be released by private agreement.  Furthermore, this release does not waive any rights Employee might have to indemnification as a corporate officer pursuant to Kemper Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, Employer’s Director’s and Liability insurance, Certificate of Incorporation, applicable benefit plan documents, or by applicable statutory or common law.
(c)    Nothing in this Agreement (including but not limited to the release of claims, promise not to sue, Employee acknowledgements, confidentiality, Employee cooperation and assistance, nondisparagement, nonsolicitation, and return of property provisions):  (a) limits or affects Employee’s right to challenge the validity of this release under the ADEA or the OWBPA; (b) prevents Employee from filing a charge or complaint with, providing documents or other information to, or participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local government agency;  (c) limits or affects Employee’s right to testify truthfully in any legal proceeding; or (d) prevents Employee from exercising his or her rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act to engage in protected, concerted activity with other employees, although by signing this Agreement Employee is waiving Employee’s right to recover any individual relief (including any backpay, frontpay, reinstatement or other legal or equitable relief) in any charge, complaint, or lawsuit or other proceeding brought by or on behalf of Employee, except for any right Employee may have to receive a payment from a government agency (and not Employer) for information provided to such agency, or other waiver prohibited by applicable law.  
(d)    Other than an arbitration action for breach of this Agreement, Employee expressly acknowledges that if Employee files any claim or lawsuit in a court or arbitration proceeding regarding any matter described in this Agreement, Employer may be entitled to recover from Employee some or all money paid under this Agreement, and if Employer prevails, Employee agrees to pay Employer’s attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in defending against such action, to the extent permitted by law.
(e)    Notwithstanding Employee’s confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations under this Agreement or otherwise, as provided in the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or to Employee’s attorney in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public.

4

7.     No Admission of Liability.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be an admission of liability by Employer and its respective parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, and their officers, directors, shareholders, principals, employees, insurers, and agents for any alleged violation of any of Employee’s statutory rights or any common law duty imposed upon Employer.
8.     Adequate Consideration.  Employee agrees that the consideration provided for this Agreement is above and beyond any amounts already owed to Employee and is adequate consideration for all promises and releases contained in this Agreement.

12.     Severability.  If a court or other body of competent jurisdiction should determine that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, such term or provision shall be reformed rather than voided, if possible, in accordance with the purposes stated in this Agreement and with applicable law, and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the extent possible.

15.     Expense Reimbursement.  By no later than 14 days after the Separation Date, Employee agrees to submit an expense account form to Employer for reimbursement of reasonable business expense items incurred on behalf of Employer prior to the Separation Date for which Employer has not yet then paid.  Upon receipt of such expense account form, together with such supporting documentation as Employer may reasonably require, Employer will pay Employee for business expense items so incurred within 30 days of Employee’s Separation Date. 
16.     Employee Cooperation and Assistance. Employee agrees to cooperate fully with Employer in the defense or prosecution of any lawsuits, arbitrations, or any other types of proceedings, and in the preparation of any response to any examination or investigation by any government entity or agency, and with respect to any other claims or matters (all such lawsuits, arbitrations, proceedings, examinations, investigation, claims and matters being collectively referred to as “Proceedings”), arising out of or in any way related to the policies, practices, or conduct of Employer and its affiliates during the time Employee was employed by Employer, and shall testify fully and truthfully in connection therewith. In addition, Employee agrees that, upon reasonable notice, Employee will participate in such informal interviews by counsel for Employer as may be reasonably necessary to ascertain Employee’s knowledge concerning the facts relating to any such Proceedings, and to cooperate with such counsel in providing testimony whether through deposition or affidavit in any such Proceeding. 
Employee agrees to immediately notify Employer if served with legal process to compel Employee to disclose any information related either to Employee’s employment with Employer or information regarding one or more of Employer’s affiliates, unless prohibited by law.  Employee further agrees to immediately notify Employer if contacted regarding any legal claim or legal matter related to Employee’s employment with Employer, unless prohibited by applicable law, and subject to the provisions of Section 6(c).  

In all events, Employer will reimburse Employee for Employee’s reasonable travel, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses associated with Employee’s compliance with this section.  If Employee’s assistance is needed after January 1, 2018, Employer will compensate Employee for time spent assisting the Employer pursuant to this paragraph at an agreed-upon rate.  Employer will make every reasonable effort to accommodate Employee’s personal and business schedules when requesting Employee’s assistance and cooperation.

17.    Indemnification and Right to Counsel.  Employer agrees to indemnify, in accordance with its Amended and Restated Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation and applicable Delaware law, Employee if Employee is or becomes a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of Employer) by reason of the fact that Employee was employed by Employer (and Employer may indemnify Employee by reason of the fact that Employee was an agent of Employer, or was serving at the request of Employer as a director, trustee, member, manager, officer, or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), against any liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any other costs and expenses incurred in connection with defending such action, suit or proceeding), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Employee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if not the result of willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud, and Employee acted in good faith and in a manner Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of Employer, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Employee’s conduct was unlawful.  
Employee will promptly notify Employer of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding against Employee which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right by Employee to be indemnified under this Agreement.  Employer shall not be liable to indemnify Employee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of Employer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Should a conflict of interest be found to exist between Employee and Employer, Employer will pay the reasonable cost of Employee’s independent legal representation.  Employer and Employee shall make a good faith effort to agree on selection of independent counsel and if an agreement cannot be reached, then within 10 days Employer and Employee shall each designate a representative and such representatives shall, together, designate an umpire who will select the independent counsel, which selection shall be final and binding.  
18.     Exemption from § 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”).  Other than payments pursuant to Paragraph 16, all payments due under this Agreement will be paid no later than March 31, 2017.  It is the intent of the Parties that all such payments are to be considered to be short-term deferrals to which Code Section 409A is not applicable by reason of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

Caution: This Agreement includes a Release. Employer hereby advises Employee to read it and to consult with an attorney prior to signing it.
