or responds in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for
Rating Agency Confirmation and the related timing, notice and other applicable provisions set forth in the Servicing Agreement

by such Rating Agency (only) be obtained will be deemed not to apply for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, any
such waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any request for such confirmation hereunder shall not be deemed
a waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any subsequent request for such Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder

Note A-1 Securitization Date pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement and 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

under the Servicing Agreement.

(b)              
The Note A-1 PSA and Note A-2 PSA shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions
involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (i) required by the Code relating to the tax elections
of the Note A-1 Trust Fund and the Note A-2 Trust Fund, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation

Holder shall have the right to designate the Master Servicer and Special Servicer for the Note A-1 Securitization as long as each
such party is a Qualified Servicer.

(c)               
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the
appointment of the Master Servicer and, if applicable, 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, if applicable, 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).

(d)              
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 the Non-Lead
Note is in a Securitization, subject to receipt of 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

    -13- 

     

    

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 Securitization 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.

(e)               
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Sections 4 and 16(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 the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower
shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement that run to the benefit of such Holder.
It is understood that the Non-Lead Note Holder may separately appoint a servicer for the 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 Non-Lead Note
Holder from funds payable to it hereunder or otherwise.

(f)               
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.

(g)              
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 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.

(h)              
In the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, the other Holder 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 Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

    -14- 

     

    

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, (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.

4.                 
Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the
Servicing Agreement and Section 16 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 delinquent payments received by the Master Servicer after the related Master Servicer Remittance
Date shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such accounts within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement.

    -15- 

     

    

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 that has been 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 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 20 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

    -16- 

     

    

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.

(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 Holder 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 Holder 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 negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by any Servicer.

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

    -17- 

     

    

to the other Holder 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 the other Holder, 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. Neither Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the other Holder any notes or interests
in any future loans originated by the 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 Holder may make loans or otherwise
extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Borrower, and receive payments on such
other loans or extensions of credit to any Affiliate of the 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.

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. 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 the Borrower or an Affiliate
of the Borrower and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(b)              
Except for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization or a Transfer made by an initial Holder to (i) an Affiliate
or (ii) Rialto Real Estate Fund III - Debt, LP or an Affiliate, the transferring Holder shall provide to the other Holder and,
if any Certificates are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in

    -18- 

     

    

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 the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) that has extended a credit or repurchase facility to
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, provided that, a Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title
to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice, if any, by the pledging Holder to the other Holder
and the Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the other Holder
agrees 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
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 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 Business Days after request therefor; (iv) that the other Holder 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 Holder 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 Holder; 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

    -19- 

     

    

to receive any payments that any Servicer
would otherwise be obligated to pay 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 Holder 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 Holder 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 Holder
and the Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof 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 its 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) 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.             
Registration of Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Note Pledgee unless and until
it realizes on its Pledge), except for transfer of a participation interest, a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption
agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter
accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section
12, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Trustee shall not be required to
execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant
to the Securitization Servicing Agreement. 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 Section 12
and this Section 13. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. Each Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any
other Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Upon a Securitization of Note A-1, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become and be the Agent.

14.             
Registration of Note A-1 and Note A-2. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note
Register”) 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, the principal amount (and stated interest)
of the Notes owing to each Holder 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

    -20- 

     

    

assumption agreement referred to in
Section 13, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and
treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, except in the case of the initial Note A-1 Holder
and the initial Note A-2 Holder who may hold their Notes through a nominee. Upon request of a Holder, the Agent shall provide such
party with the names and addresses of the Holders. To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Note A-1 Holder
and the Note A-2 Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 14 solely for purposes of maintaining
the Note Register.

15.             
Statement of Intent. The Agent and each Holder intend that the Notes be classified and the arrangement hereby be
maintained, in a manner consistent with rules applicable to a grantor trust under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I,
subpart E of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties
will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create
a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.

16.             
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 16(a).

(b)              
The Lead Servicer and the related Trustee shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Non-Lead Note Holder in connection with
the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Servicer and the related Trustee from their

    -21- 

     

    

respective obligation under the Servicing
Agreement to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

(c)               
The Holders hereby acknowledge 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)           
The Non-Lead Note Holder has provided written consent to such sale; or

(ii)           
The Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to the 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 reasonably 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.

The 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 Holder and the Non-Directing Holder shall be permitted to submit an offer
at any sale of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is the Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Borrower).

The Non-Lead Note
Holder hereby appoints 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. The Non-Lead Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Note Holder, the 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,

    -22- 

     

    

endorsed in blank, to or at the direction
of the Lead Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority of
the Lead Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Note Holder to execute and deliver instruments
or deliver the Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect
upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Note is repurchased by BSP, as the initial Note A-1 Holder from the trust fund
established under the Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by the initial
Note A-1 Holder with respect to the Lead Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by BSP,
as the initial Note A-1 Holder with respect to the Lead Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization.

(d)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Servicer on behalf of the Holders of its
rights under this Section 16 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(g) of
this Agreement.

17.             
Rights of the Directing Holder.(a) (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”, “Owner” 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

    -23- 

     

    

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.

(e)               
The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the other Holder 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.

The Holders acknowledge
that the Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give an operating advisor certain non-binding consultation rights
with respect to Major Actions.

18.             
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 Holder and the parties to the Note A-1 PSA
and the Note A-2 PSA a written notice stating such designation

    -24- 

     

    

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.

The Directing Holder
agrees and acknowledges that the Special Servicer could be terminated under the Servicing Agreement in connection with a “servicer
termination event” thereunder, or otherwise based on a recommendation by the operating advisor under the Servicing Agreement
if (1) the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (a) the Special Servicer has failed
to comply with the Servicing Standard and (b) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders
of Certificates issued under the Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (2) the affirmative vote of the requisite certificate
holders is obtained. The Directing Holder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Directing Holder
may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

19.             
Rights of the Non-Directing Holder.(a)  The Servicing Agreement 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 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), 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-2 has been included in a Securitization, 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 the Non-Directing Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, if, having received such notices, information
and reports, such Non-Directing Holder 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 the Non-Directing Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery
to the 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 Holder,
whether or not the Non-Directing Holder has 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).

    -25- 

     

    

(b)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holder, 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 Holder 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 the Non-Directing
Holder.

(e)               
Any Non-Directing Holder that is the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower shall not be entitled to any of the rights
set forth in this Section 19.

20.             
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 the 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 the Non-Lead Note. The Lead Servicer
and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to the 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 or any Property Advance. The Lead Servicer, the 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 and 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, 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,
the Non-Lead Note Holder (including any Securitization into which the 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, the Non-Lead Note Holder (including any Securitization into which
the Non-Lead Note is deposited) shall promptly reimburse the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee for the Non-Lead Note Holder’s
pro rata share of any fees, costs

    -26- 

     

    

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 and 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 the Non-Lead Note
share from the Non-Lead Note Holder.

21.                
Provisions Relating to Securitization. 

(a)               
 The Note A-1 Holder and 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, the “New Notes”)
reallocating the principal of Note A-1 or Note A-2 among other New Notes; reducing the Interest Rates of such New Notes or severing
the Note A-1 or A-2 into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then
outstanding principal balance of Note A-1 or A-2, as applicable, provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the
New Notes and following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of the respective original Note prior to such
amendments, (ii) all New Notes continue to have the same interest rate as the respective original Note prior to such amendments,
(iii) all New 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 entity holding the New Notes shall notify the parties to the Servicing Agreement
and Non-Lead Servicing Agreement 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 either of the Holders solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation
of principal or such severing of Note A-1 or Note A-2, (2) if Note A-1 or 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 Notes. Rating Agency
Confirmation shall not be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this Section 21(a).
The Holder whose Note is being reallocated or split pursuant to this Section 21(a) shall reimburse the other Holder for
all costs and expenses incurred by the other Holder in connection with the reallocation or split.

servicer 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 the 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 20,
and funds received with respect to the 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 Lead Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, out
of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement and (y) if
the Lead Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Lead Trustee to pay itself from the Lead Securitization
Trust’s general account then the master servicer under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement will be required to reimburse the
Lead Securitization Trust out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead
Servicing Agreement;

(iv)           
each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be indemnified (as and to the 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

funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;

(v)           
each of trustee and the master servicer under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall acknowledge that, (i) each

and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA and relating

Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Note A-1 PSA (as of the Note A-2 Securitization Date) provided such
party is not also a party to the Note A-1 PSA.

provided, however, that

If any provision required to be included in the Note A-1 PSA or the Note A-2 PSA is not included therein as required
in this Agreement, each Holder agrees that each such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated as a provision of and made a

(b)

it being expressly understood and agreed that the Note A-1 Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any

Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as reasonably requested by the Note A-1 Holder
or Servicer during the term of this Agreement, the Note A-2 Holder shall deliver to the Note A-1 Holder or Servicer, as applicable,

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 Note A-1 Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if the Note A-2 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, the Note A-2 Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to
the Note A-1 Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Note A-2 Holder. The Note A-1 Holder

A-2 Holder shall have furnished to the Note A-1 Holder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

32.             
Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note A-2) will

33.             
Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

(c)               
The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at
the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it;

(d)              
The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning
of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed
by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(e)               
The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate
or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 13; and

(f)               
The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents
or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.

34.             
Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Note
A-1 Holder, except that the Note A-1 Holder may designate the Servicer under the Interim Servicing Agreement without prior written
notice. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 34, all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

The Agent may resign
at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement
and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. BSP, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to the Servicer,
as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Holder. BSP, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt
to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently
attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. The termination or resignation of such Servicer, as Servicer under
the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Servicer as Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the to the contrary in this Agreement, upon a Securitization of Note A-1, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become
and be the Agent.

Each Noteholder acknowledges that the Initial Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include the related Note in a Securitization and agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with such other Noteholder, at such other Noteholder’s expense, to effect such Securitization.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Noteholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the appointment of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor, and the appointment of the Special Servicer as the initial Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor (subject to replacement by the Controlling Noteholder as provided herein) 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 this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.  Each

 

18

 

Noteholder hereby appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee in the Lead Securitization as such Noteholder’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 Noteholders set forth herein and in the Servicing Agreement).  In no event shall the Servicing Agreement require any Servicer to enforce the rights of any Noteholder against any other Noteholder or limit any Servicer in enforcing the rights of one Noteholder against any other Noteholder; however, this statement shall not be construed to otherwise limit the rights of one Noteholder with respect to any other Noteholder.  Each Servicer shall be required pursuant to the Servicing Agreement to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, this Agreement, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicing Agreement, any intercreditor agreement and applicable law, and shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action or follow any direction inconsistent with the foregoing.

 

(b)  The Master Servicer shall be the lead master servicer on the Mortgage Loan, and from time to time it (or the Trustee, to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (i) shall be required to make Servicing Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and (ii) may be required to make principal and interest Advances on any Note in the Lead Securitization, if and to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.  The Master Servicer or Trustee shall be required to provide written notice to the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee of any principal and interest Advance it has made with respect to the Lead Securitization Note within two (2) Business Days of making such Advance.  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Servicing Advance, first from funds on deposit in each of the Collection Account and the Companion Distribution Account that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and then, in the case of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization as provided below.  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for Advance Interest Amounts on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization and, in the case of Servicing Advances, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization as provided below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any Advance Interest Amounts on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including from general collections or any other amounts from the Non-Lead Securitization Trust) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or Advance Interest Amounts.  If the Master Servicer determines that a proposed principal and interest Advance with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or Servicing Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding principal and interest Advance or Servicing Advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance (as defined

 

19

 

in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), the Master Servicer shall provide the Non-Lead Master Servicer written notice of such determination promptly after such determination was made together with such reports that the Master Servicer delivered to the Special Servicer or Trustee in connection with notification of its determination of nonrecoverability.

 

In addition, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including, but not limited to, the Non-Lead Securitization Trust) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization for the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s pro rata share of any additional trust fund expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, any other fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and allocable to the Noteholders pursuant to this Agreement and as to which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor, as applicable, is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and any fees, costs or expenses related to obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation and allocated to the Noteholders, in each case to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts (which such reimbursement shall be made, if the Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust).  The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees to indemnify (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties against any Indemnified Items) to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency (including, if the Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust).

 

The Non-Lead Master Servicer may be required to make principal and interest Advances on a Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a principal and interest Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.  The Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a principal and interest Advance to be made on a Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify each other servicer and trustee with respect to a Securitization of the amount of its principal and interest Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such Advance.  If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Note) or the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note),

 

20

 

determines that a proposed principal and interest Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding principal and interest Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, within two (2) Business Days of making such determination.  Each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a principal and interest Advance that becomes non-recoverable and Advance Interest Amounts thereon first from the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan for which such principal and interest Advance was made, and then, if funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of the Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Non-Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)  At any time after the Securitization Date that the Lead Securitization Note is no longer subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced in accordance with the servicing provisions set forth in the Servicing Agreement or a Substitute Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall have no further obligations to advance monthly payments of principal or interest; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any nationally recognized commercial mortgage loan servicer appointed by Lead Securitization Noteholder and the special servicer appointed by the Controlling Noteholder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the if a Non-Lead Securitization Note becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such Asset Review by providing the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer, but only to the extent (x) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and (y) the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller.

(a)      first, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, to each Noteholder in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Balance for each Note at the applicable Net Interest Rate;

 

(b)     second, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis based on the outstanding Principal Balances of each Note, to each Noteholder in an amount equal to the principal payments received, if any, with respect to such Monthly Payment Date with respect to the Mortgage Loan, until such Principal Balance for each Note has been reduced to zero;

 

(c)      third, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, to each Noteholder up to the amount of any unreimbursed costs and expenses paid by such Noteholder including any unreimbursed trust fund expenses not previously reimbursed to such Noteholder (or paid or advanced by any Servicer on its behalf and not previously paid or reimbursed) with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement;

 

(d)     fourth, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, any Prepayment Premium, to the extent paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, shall be paid to each Noteholder in an amount up to its pro rata interest therein, based on the product of the applicable Percentage Interest multiplied by the applicable Relative Spread;

 

(e)      fifth, if any excess amount is available to be distributed in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and not otherwise applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a)-(d), any remaining amount shall be paid pro rata to each Noteholder in accordance with their respective initial Percentage Interests.

 

All expenses and losses relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation losses of principal and interest, Servicing Advances, Advance Interest Amounts, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees, Appraisal Reduction Amounts and certain other trust expenses, shall be allocated on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.  Any realized losses (including reductions by a bankruptcy court) applied to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be reimbursed on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis after all amounts of interest and principal have otherwise been paid in full on all the Notes.

 

Section 4.        Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(a)  Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) 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

 

26

 

or other remedy and no other Noteholder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan except as set forth in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.  Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard, each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

 

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) to sell each Non-Lead Note together with the Lead Securitization Note as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell each Non-Lead Note together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Servicing Agreement and shall be required to require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing and be accompanied by a refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to 5% of the offer amount (subject to a cap of $2,500,000).  Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Notes shall be determined by the Trustee; provided, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two bona fide other offers are received from independent third parties.  In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for such Notes, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal.  The Trustee shall select the Appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal.  In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for such Notes, the Trustee shall instruct the Appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Notes, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.  The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent Appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Noteholders in connection with making such determination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not be permitted to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes if they become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (provided that such consent is not required if such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder:

 

27

 

(a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes; (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 (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder that are material to the price of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes 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 Controlling Class Representative) 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; provided, that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence.  Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, each of the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Class Representative, any other Noteholder (or any controlling class representative or directing holder on its behalf under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Note unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

 

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

 

The authority and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell each Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of each Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver its Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which no Note is held in a Securitization.  The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by such seller or any document delivery obligation imposed on such seller under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such seller in connection with the Lead Securitization.

 

(b)  The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.  Each Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard.  Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead

 

28

 

Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and each Non-Lead Noteholder who is not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. 

 

(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f)), if the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Interest Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, 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 Noteholders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes), in each case up to the amount otherwise due on such Note(s). 

 

(d) All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.  Each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be provided access to any website that an investor would be permitted to access in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement, it being understood and agreed that each Non-Lead Noteholder is subject to any restrictions on the access to such websites contained in the Servicing Agreement.

 

(e)  If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:  (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall each 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 Noteholders 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 interests of the Noteholders 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 Noteholders 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 months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the Lead Securitization Note (or any portion thereof).  The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 4(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein.  All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 4(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount,

 

29

 

payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.

 

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its Note in the REMIC 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 either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

 

(f)  (i)   Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, with respect to any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision, the Servicer shall provide the Controlling Noteholder with at least ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) prior notice requesting consent to the requested Major Decision.  The Servicer shall not take any action with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), unless and until the Special Servicer receives the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder before implementing a decision with respect to such Major Decision. 

 

(ii)        If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of a Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of a Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font:  “THIS IS A SECOND NOTICE.  FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF THIS SECOND NOTICE WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF YOUR RIGHT TO CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THIS DECISION.” and if the Controlling Noteholder fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder, as applicable, shall have no further consent rights with respect to the specific action set forth in such notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder.  The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

 

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice or consultation provided by the

 

30

 

Controlling Noteholder that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of any Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

 

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions, or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and at any time the Controlling Noteholder is the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Securitization Noteholder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders, whether or not such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders have responded within such ten (10) Business Day period.

 

The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

 

(g)  The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain Appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to, the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

 

(h)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party is a Noteholder (a “Borrower Party Noteholder”), then (i) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder or a Controlling Class Representative, (ii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report and (iv) in each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to the Borrower Party Noteholder only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.

 

31

 

Section 5.        Special Servicer.  The Controlling Noteholder, at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan.  The Controlling Noteholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 5); such termination not be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (B) the initial or successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions such that any Special Servicer could be terminated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of securities issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained.  The Controlling Noteholder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

Section 6.        Payment Procedure.

 

(a)  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account for the Notes established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to the each Noteholder.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s

 

32

 

(or the Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

 

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

 

(c)  If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

 

(d) Each Noteholder 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 Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and to be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 6 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder.  Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 6 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

 

Section 7.        Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders.  No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

 

33

 

Each Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

 

Section 8.        Bankruptcy.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) 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.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, 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.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f), the Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 4(f), each other Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant.  All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The Initial Noteholder acknowledges that no other Noteholder owes such Noteholder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Noteholder with respect to any action taken by such Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 10.       Independent
Analysis of the Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Initial
Noteholder, except with respect to the representations and warranties provided by the Initial Noteholder herein and in any

and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase such Note and such
Noteholder accepts responsibility therefor.  Each Noteholder hereby acknowledges that, other than the representations

of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial condition of the Mortgage Loan
Borrower.  Each Noteholder assumes all risk of loss in connection with its Note except as specifically set forth

Section 11.      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 the relationship created hereby between or among any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.  None of the Noteholders shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase a Note interest in any future loans originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, and if such Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase a Note interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the such Noteholder or their respective Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the offering Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion.  No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Noteholder an interest in any future loans originated by such Noteholder or their respective Affiliates.

Section 13.      Other Business Activities of the Noteholders.  Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, (i) (a) the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (b) any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (c) any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (d) any Affiliate of any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (ii) any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of the holder of such debt, or (iii) any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of a holder of such preferred equity (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties 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.      Sale of the Notes.

 

(a)  Each Noteholder agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of its Note except in accordance with this Section 14.  Each Noteholder agrees it shall not Transfer more than 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note, except to a Qualified Institutional Lender, unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Noteholders have consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee (and its Affiliates) shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Institutional Lender” 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 Institutional Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement, or (iii) 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 Institutional Lender.  With respect to any Transfers pursuant to (i) or (ii) above (except with respect to a Transfer to a Securitization Trust) such transferee must (x) assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Noteholder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Servicing Agreement and (y) remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Noteholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Noteholder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non transferring Noteholder’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 Noteholder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party 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 14(a) shall apply in the case of a sale of all of the Notes together, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

(b)  Except for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization, or a Transfer made by a Noteholder to an Affiliate, prior to a transfer of any Note, the transferring Noteholder shall provide to the other Noteholders and, if any Securitization Trust is are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 14, 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 Institutional Lender.

 

36

 

(c)  In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholders and any Persons acting on their behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

 

(d) The Noteholders acknowledge and agree that, to the extent specifically required, 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 Noteholder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(e)  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that 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 (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such Noteholder’s interest in the applicable Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without (a) prior to the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation.  Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees:  (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to each other Noteholder 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 Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder 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 such other Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Noteholder and any Servicer by such

 

37

 

Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement.  Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Noteholder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee.  Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder 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 Noteholders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which 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 Noteholder’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 Noteholder 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 Section 14(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

 

(f)         Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such Noteholder 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:

 

(i)         The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

 

(ii)        The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Moody’s rates the Securitization) will be a Qualified Institutional Lender;

 

(iii)       Such Noteholder will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

 

(iv)       The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if such Noteholder 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 Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit,

 

38

 

and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

 

(v)        Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not, without obtaining the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, 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.      Registration of Transfer.  In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any Note Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Trustee shall not be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.  In connection with a Transfer of a Note, the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15.  Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.  Each Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Upon a Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become and be the Agent.

 

Section 16.      Registration of the Notes.  The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) 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 Section 15, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, shall be registered in the Note Register.  The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, except in the case of the Initial Noteholder who may hold its Notes through a nominee.  Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders.  To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Noteholders hereby designate such person as its agent under this Section 16 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.  The parties intend for the Notes to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

 

Section 17.      Statement of Intent.  The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified, and the arrangement hereby be maintained, in a manner consistent with rules applicable to a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification.  It is neither the purpose nor the intent

 

39

 

of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.

 

Section 18.      No Pledge.  This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by the Noteholders.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 19.      Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 20.      Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)  SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

 

(b)  CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

 

(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

 

40

 

(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.

 

Section 21.      Modifications; Amendment.  This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder.  Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Servicing Agreement, (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 32 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 22.      Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto.  Subject to Section 14, each Noteholder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement.  Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments and grant additional Notes.

 

Section 23.      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

 

Section 24.      Captions.  The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

 

Section 25.      Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 26.      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

 

Section 27.      Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents.  The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) will be held by the Lead Securitization 

 

41

 

Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) who shall act as secured party under the Mortgage Loan Documents on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) shall be held by the Custodian.  Each Note shall be held by the respective Noteholder or a custodian appointed by such Noteholder.

 

Section 28.      Notices.  All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if a party has provided a facsimile number, (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iv) sent by electronic mail containing language requesting the recipient to confirm receipt thereof if a party has provided an electronic mail address and only if such electronic mail is promptly followed by a written notice or (v) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid.  All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

 

All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder.

 

Section 29.      Broker.  Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction. 

 

Section 30.      Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

 

(a)  The Noteholders hereby appoint the Agent to act on their behalf, and the Agent shall act on behalf of the Noteholders;

 

(b)  The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15;

 

(c)  The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

 

(d) The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

 

(e)  The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Securities Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

 

42

 

(f)  The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15; and

 

(g)  The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 31.      Termination of Agent.  The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Lead Securitization Noteholder.  In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 31, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

 

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder.  CCRE, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder.  CCRE, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of the Initial Agent or any successor thereto prior to such Securitization without any further notice or other action.  The termination or resignation of the Certificate Administrator, as Certificate Administrator under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Certificate Administrator as Agent under this Agreement. 

 

Section 32.      Resizing.  In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii) below, that if a Noteholder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average Interest Rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the Interest Rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or (y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections.  In connection with any resizing of a Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion. 

 

Section 33.      Conflict.  To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.
