references herein to the “Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement;
provided, that if a Non-Lead Securitization Note is in a Securitization and the servicer(s) to be appointed under such replacement

securities issued in connection with such Securitization for such Non-Lead Securitization Note; provided, further,
that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage
Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as if such agreement were still
in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, by the applicable Servicer in the Lead Securitization or by any Person
appointed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder that is a qualified servicer meeting the requirements of the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement. The Note Holders acknowledge that at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions
of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation to make P&I Advances with
respect to the Mortgage Loan.

 

(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) shall make the following advances, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement: (i) Servicing Advances on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization
Note. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for a Servicing
Advance, first from funds on deposit in the Collection Account (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement)
and/or the related Companion Distribution Account (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) for the Mortgage

Advances that are Nonrecoverable 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.
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for interest on a
Servicing Advance (including any Nonrecoverable Advance) at the Reimbursement Rate in the manner and from the sources provided
in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization. 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 Servicing Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or any interest
on a Servicing Advance (including any Nonrecoverable Advance) at the Reimbursement Rate, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder

notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Advance

the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor or CREFC®, as applicable,
is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, to the extent amounts on deposit in the

Note Holder agrees to indemnify (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the
following parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement) each of the Depositor under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer (and any director,

Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) (the “Indemnified Parties”) 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 servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the Operating
Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) under
the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Items”) to the extent of its pro
rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the related “Companion Distribution Account”
are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder 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.

Servicer (or Non-Lead Trustee (if not made by such Non-Lead Master Servicer)) may be required to make P&I Advances on the respective
Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement,
the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable,

Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any Non-Lead
Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee under any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable,
shall be entitled to make its own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the related Non-Lead
Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the related Non-Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and any Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, as
applicable, shall each be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two 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 a Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization
Note), determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I Advance is

 

    	-19- 

    	 

    

 

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 such Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead
Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of the a determination of non-recoverability
by a Non-Lead Master Servicer, a Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee,
or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, of such other Securitization within
two Business Days of making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer and any
Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance that becomes non-recoverable first
from the related Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Note for which such P&I Advance was made, and
then, if such 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 a Non-Lead Securitization
Note, from general collections of the related Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)          Each Non-Lead
Securitization Note Holder, if its Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, shall cause the applicable Non-Lead
Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions to the effect that:

 

(i)           such Non-Lead
Securitization Note Holder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable
Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and any additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Notes, including without limitation,
any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Notes, and that if the funds received with
respect to each respective Note are insufficient to cover such Servicing Advances or additional trust fund expenses, (x) the related
Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or
reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Asset
Representations Reviewer, as applicable, out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established

of any such Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances (and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and/or additional
trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan, and (y) if the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating
Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general collections,
then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Asset
Representations Reviewer, as applicable, may do so and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly

(and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and/or additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing
Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan;

 

(ii)          each
of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify
each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of
Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by the Securitization Trust holding such Non-Lead Securitization Note, against any of
the Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit
in the related “Companion Distribution Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the related Non-Lead
Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the
insufficiency out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under such Non-Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement;

 

(iii)         the
related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer,
the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer (x) promptly following Securitization of such
Non-Lead Securitization Note, notice of the deposit of such Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice
shall also provide contact information for the related Non-Lead Trustee, certificate administrator, Non-Lead Master Servicer,
Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under
this Agreement), accompanied by a certified copy of the executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) notice of
any subsequent change in the identity of the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling
Note Holder” with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact
information); and

 

(iv)         the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing
provisions.

 

(d)          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 or any other party to such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with such
Asset Review by providing the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably
requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent such documents
are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

(e)          Prior
to the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to
be delivered to a Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization
Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) only need to be delivered to the related Note
Holder (or its Note Holder Representative) and, when so delivered to such Note Holder (or Note Holder Representative, as applicable),
the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have
satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
Following the Securitization of any Note (including any New Note), as applicable, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables
required to be delivered to a Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead
Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the master
servicer and the special servicer with respect to such Securitization (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to
receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to
such master servicer and the special servicer, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under
the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

(f)          In
addition to the foregoing, each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement 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 trust fund formed pursuant to such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (ii) required
by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) requested by the Rating Agencies rating the related Securitization.
Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to designate the Non-Lead Master Servicer and Non-Lead Special Servicer
with respect to the Securitization related to its Note, as long as each such Servicer satisfies the conditions to be the master
servicer or special servicer, as applicable, set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of any provision set forth above, for purposes of the Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain
(a) provisions requiring the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Special Servicer to maintain, or subjecting
them to possible termination for not maintaining, compliance with customary servicer rating criteria (but the rating agencies
need not be the same) and (b) provisions substantially similar in all material respects to or materially consistent with those
set forth in Note A-1 PSA with respect to (i) periodic reporting and periodic delivery of service provider compliance documents
under Regulation AB (and, in any event, each Securitization Servicing Agreement shall require such reporting and delivery so long
as the Lead Securitization Trust is required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended),
(ii) servicing transfer events that would result in the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to special servicing status, (iii) the authority
of the Controlling Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on its behalf) to grant or agree or consent to material
modifications, waivers and amendments to the Mortgage Loan, or to approve material assignments and assumptions or material additional
indebtedness in connection with the Mortgage Loan, (iv) the potential termination of the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and
Non-Lead Special Servicer following a servicer termination event, (v) requirements to obtain an appraisal or appraisal update
following a transfer of the Mortgage Loan to special servicing

 

    	-22- 

    	 

    

 

status and periodic updates thereof, (vi) duties of the Non-Lead
Special Servicer in respect of foreclosure and the management of REO property, (vii) special servicing, workout and liquidation
fees (and, in any event, the fees at which such compensation accrue or are determined shall not exceed 0.25%, 1.00% and 1.00%,
respectively) and (viii) indemnification of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, certificate administrator, Trustee,
Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (and any director, officer,
employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) 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 servicing and administration
of the Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, incurred in connection with
the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) to the same extent that the Indemnified Parties are indemnified under the Lead
Securitization Servicing Agreement against the Indemnified Items; provided, that (A) this statement shall not be construed
to prohibit differences in timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties
between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, or to prohibit
or restrict additional approval, consent, consultation, notice or rating agency confirmation requirements; and (B) if there is
any conflict between this sentence and any other provision of this Agreement, such other provision of this Agreement shall control.

 

(g)          The
Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions requiring the Master
Servicer to deliver to any Non-Lead Master Servicer, any Non-Lead Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Trustee (i) notice of any
Appraisal Event promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) a statement of any Appraisal Reduction promptly following the
calculation thereof.

 

Section
3.          Priority of Payments. Each Note shall be of equal priority,
and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts
tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage
Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Scheduled Payments, the
Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing
the Mortgage Loan, Condemnation Proceeds, or Insurance Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the
Mortgage Loan Documents), shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata
and Pari Passu Basis; provided, that (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage
Loan Documents to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property
protection expenses or Servicing Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement shall be applied to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Mortgage Loan Documents;
and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant
to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any other additional compensation payable to it thereunder (including without
limitation, any additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the Mortgage

 

    	-23- 

    	 

    

 

Loan (but subject to the second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) reimbursable to, or
payable by, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided
in the immediately following paragraph), but excluding (i) any P&I Advances (and interest thereon) on the Lead Securitization
Note, which shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, and (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer
in excess of each Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of that portion of such servicing fees calculated
at the “primary servicing fee rate” applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing
Agreement, which such excess shall not be subject to the allocation provisions of this Section 3) shall be payable in accordance
with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

For
clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first,
be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances
in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective
amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, any Non-Lead Master Servicer or any
Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party
(if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement,
as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary
to pay additional trust fund expenses under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid
Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing
Agreement) and finally, with respect to any remaining amount of Penalty Charges, pro rata, to the Lead Securitization
Note (to be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead
Securitization Servicing Agreement) and to each Non-Lead Securitization Note (to be paid, (x) prior to the securitization of such
Note, to the related Note Holder and (y) following the securitization of such Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special
Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement).

 

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

 

Section
5.          Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

    	-24- 

    	 

    

 

(a)          Subject to this
Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to
the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with
respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation,
the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act
by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate
the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any
voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s
administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the
Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and each Non-Lead Securitization
Note Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note
Holder has to, (i) call, or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call, an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan,
or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation,
filing, or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file, any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The
Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on its behalf) shall not have
any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the
foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth
herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability
for failure to do so).

 

Each Note Holder hereby
acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead
Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one
whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special
Servicer shall be required to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted
to the Trustee in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the Special
Servicer (unless the offeror is an Interested Person, in which case the Trustee shall make such determination); 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 the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be supplied with and shall rely on
the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Lead Securitization 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 the Mortgage Loan,
the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results
of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained

 

    	-25- 

    	 

    

 

pursuant
to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency
on the affected Mortgage Loan, 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 Holders in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be permitted to sell
the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered
to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to
sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any 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 Servicer Mortgage
File requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time
(but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder) 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. Subject to the foregoing, each Note Holder
or its Note Holder Representative shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.

 

Each Note Holder (to
the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder
as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and
its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Note. Each Note Holder (to the
extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization
Note Holder, such Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of
attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing
appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver any related original documentation evidencing
its Note (endorsed in blank if necessary) to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the
consummation of any such sale.

 

The authority of the
Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell any Non-Lead Securitization Note, and the obligations of any other Note Holder to execute
and deliver instruments or deliver the related Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease
to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the holder
of such Lead Securitization Note that sold such Lead Securitization Note into such Securitization from the trust fund established
under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such
Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such
Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall
not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the
holder of the Lead Securitization

 

    	-26- 

    	 

    

 

Note
that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person
under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed
or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.

 

(b)          The administration
of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the
Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan (or to the extent
otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead
Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 Note Holder.
The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the
Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate
Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to the extent set forth in the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any
Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization
Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is, or is an Affiliate of, the Mortgage
Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as
specifically provided for therein.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall
be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization
Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the
implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Lead Securitization
Note Holder (or its Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization
Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the
Lead Securitization Directing Certificateholder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control
Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to consult each Non-Controlling Note
Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such
notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests
consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status
Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its
Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from
the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization
Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf)

 

    	-27- 

    	 

    

 

of written
notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization
Directing Certificateholder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its
behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative),
whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such
ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting
on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case
such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information
relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder
Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, acting on its behalf) may take any Major Decision or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration
of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders.
In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated
at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note
Holder Representative).

 

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

 

    	-28- 

    	 

    

 

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

 

Section 6.          Rights
of the Controlling Note Holder.

 

(a)          The Controlling
Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations
with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder
shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder
Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling
Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder
Representative may be any Person, including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling
Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower,
any manager of a Mortgaged Property or any principal or Affiliate thereof). No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall
owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted
to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting
on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. Any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required
to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified such Servicer
or Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note
Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides any Servicer or Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance
of such appointment, an address and telecopy number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers
or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and
telecopy numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers,
Operating Advisor and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until they
receive such information from the Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee
of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative.

 

Neither the Controlling
Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to any other Note 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of its willful

 

    	-29- 

    	 

    

 

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

 

Each Non-Controlling
Note Holder shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization; provided, that each Note Holder shall
be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information
received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon.

 

Each Non-Controlling
Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations
with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”).
All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in the first
paragraph of this Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and the second paragraph of this Section
6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

 

For so long as the
Lead Securitization Note is included in the Lead Securitization, the “Directing Certificateholder” under the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement (or any other party designated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to exercise the rights of
the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) shall be the Controlling Note Holder Representative.

 

Section 7.          Appointment
of Special Servicer. The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right (subject
to the terms, conditions and limitations in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) at any time and from time to time, with
or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the

 

    	-30- 

    	 

    

 

Mortgage
Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling
Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to each other Note Holder, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each other party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating
such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement
(including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Communication or a Rating Agency Confirmation, but only if required by the terms
of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), if any. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses
incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto
of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance
with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan
as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer
designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit
the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer
for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects
any Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that
the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer
under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with
the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that any successor special
servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling
Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior
written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing
the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable
time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from
amounts on deposit in the Lead Securitization’s “collection account”.

 

Section 8.          Payment
Procedure.

 

(a)          The Lead Securitization
Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account and/or
related Companion Distribution Account (each as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance
with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf)
shall deposit such payments to the applicable account within one Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds by the Lead
Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (provided,
that to the extent that any payment is received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer is
required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such payments into the applicable account within one (1) Business Day
of receipt of such payments

 

    	-31- 

    	 

    

 

but,
in any event, the Master Servicer is required to deposit such payments into the applicable account within two (2) Business Days
of receipt of such payments).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 9.          Limitation
on Liability of the Note Holders. No Note Holder shall have any liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note
except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on
the part of such Note Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, each Servicer will nevertheless
be subject to the obligations and standards (including the Servicing Standard) set forth in the related Securitization Servicing
Agreement.

 

The Note Holders acknowledge
that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with,
and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the
Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead

 

    	-32- 

    	 

    

 

Securitization
Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any
Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall
have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s
exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above;
provided, that each Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

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

 

Section 11.          Representations
of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note
Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as
such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution
obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it

 

    	-33- 

    	 

    

 

is duly
organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business.
Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder,
(b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any
court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note
Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit
or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially
and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

 

Section 12.          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 the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture
or other entity. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization
Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note
Holder or its Affiliates and if the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses to offer to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder
the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder
or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the Lead Securitization Note Holder chooses,
in its sole and absolute discretion. No Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from
the Lead Securitization Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder
or its Affiliates.

 

Section 13.          Other
Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that each other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make
loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate
thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or
any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (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 Note Holder
agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all
or any portion of its respective Note (or a participation interest in such Note) (a “Transfer”) except to a
Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after any such Transfer, any non-transferring
Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from each transferee or the transferring Note Holder certifying that
such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following
sentence or a Transfer by a Note Holder to an entity that constitutes a Qualified Institutional Lender pursuant to clause (c)(iii)
of the definition thereof) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15.
If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified

 

    	-34- 

    	 

    

 

Institutional
Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s
Note is held in a Securitization Trust, provide each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust with
a Rating Agency Communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent
(which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust,
until a Rating Agency Communication is provided to each engaged Rating Agency for such Securitization Trust, no Note Holder shall
Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the 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. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of any non-transferring Note Holder (including
all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder
Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Communication in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder or of any
other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Communication, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial
interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of the Lead Securitization
Note together with all of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization
Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single
member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through
one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

 

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

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage
Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder 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 applicable Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from
any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c),
it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that
is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided
that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency

 

    	-35- 

    	 

    

 

Confirmation.
Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to each other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including
the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and
thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations
under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of
ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to each other Note Holder hereunder,
but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination
of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee
copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that
such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such 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 Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon
written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Note Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that
the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations
to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which
notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded
by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise
be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing
Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Note Holder and any Servicer from
any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any
Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall
be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment
in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders
and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate
thereof 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 Note Holder’s rights, remedies
and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the
obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral
by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under
this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee
shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has
terminated.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender
provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such

 

    	-36- 

    	 

    

 

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 Note Holder to finance the acquisition and
holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 15.          Registration
of the Notes and Each Note Holder. 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 note registrar and pursuant
to Section 31 of the Original Agreement, the Agent has been deemed to have accepted such appointment. The names and addresses
of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice,
in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, 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. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and
addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder
hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

 

In connection with any
Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment
and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement
requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable
Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including
the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer
of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and

 

    	-37- 

    	 

    

 

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 Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other
Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 16.          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 OBLIGATIONS 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 (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW). 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.

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

 

(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 18.          Modifications.
This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally,
for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without
first delivering a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency; provided that no such Rating Agency Communication
shall be required in connection with a modification (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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or
(ii) with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, to make provisions of this Agreement consistent with other
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 32).

 

Section 19.          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 assigns. Except as provided herein, including without limitation, with respect to the Trustee,
Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer and Special Servicer and any Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or
Non-Lead Trustee, 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 and Section 15, each Note Holder 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 Note
Holder hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the representations in Section 11 shall not be binding upon any Securitization
Trust.

 

Section 20.          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 21.          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 22.          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 23.          Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between 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 24.          Withholding
Taxes. (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage
Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from

 

    	-39- 

    	 

    

 

interest,
fees or other amounts payable to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such
Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, such Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as
servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment
(all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish
such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and
other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or
deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

 

(b)          Each Note Holder
(to the extent it is not the same entity as the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead
Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest,
penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder
to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or
instrument made or provided by such Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the
Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed
that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation,
certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any
obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity
of the same and (ii) such Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense,
shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note
Holder.

 

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

 

    	-40- 

    	 

    

 

Holder
shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or successor forms, as may be required
from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of
United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder
with respect to any Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the holder of such Note shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization
Note Holder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

 

Section 25.          Custody
of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note A-2, Note A-3 and Note A-4)
shall be held in the name of the Trustee under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (and held by a duly appointed custodian
therefor), on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. The Note A-2 shall be held in the name of the Note A-2 Trustee (and
held by a duly appointed custodian therefor), on behalf of the Note A-2 Holder. On and after the Note A-3 Securitization Date,
Note A-3 shall be held in the name of the Note A-3 Trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor), on behalf of the
Note A-3 Holder. On and after the Note A-4 Securitization Date, Note A-4 shall be held in the name of the Note A-4 Trustee (and
held by a duly appointed custodian therefor), on behalf of the Note A-4 Holder.

 

Section 26.          Cooperation
in Securitization. 

 

(a)          Each Note Holder
acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with
a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the related Securitizing Note Holder, each
related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy,
and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards
to which such Securitizing Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating
Agencies in connection with such Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to
this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage
Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by
the Rating Agencies to effect such Securitization; provided, that no Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall be required to modify
or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith,
if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority
of such payments to, such Non-Securitizing Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s
obligations or materially decrease such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with
any Securitization, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to
such Securitization such information concerning such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note as the related Securitizing Note
Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and such Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall, at the Securitizing Note
Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Securitizing Note Holder in connection

 

    	-41- 

    	 

    

 

with
such Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Securitizing Note Holder (without any obligation
to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Securitizing Note Holder to make all necessary certifications
and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and such
Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to
review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note
in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided
by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering
documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information
supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder. The Securitizing Note Holder shall reasonably cooperate with
each Non-Securitizing Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Securitizing Note Holder’s
possession in connection with such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s preparation of disclosure materials in connection with
a Securitization.

 

Upon request, each Securitizing
Note Holder shall deliver to each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final offering memoranda,
prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the pooling and servicing agreement for the
Securitization of such Securitizing Note Holder’s Note and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

 

Section 27.          Notices.
All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i)  facsimile transmission (during business hours) if the sender on the
same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (ii) reputable
overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iii) 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.

 

Section 28.          Broker.
Each Note Holder represents to each other that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

 

Section 29.          Certain
Matters Affecting the Agent.

 

(a)          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 14 and Section 15;

 

(b)          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;

 

(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 Note

 

    	-42- 

    	 

    

 

Holder
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 15;

 

(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; and

 

(g)          The Agent represents
and warrants that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.

 

Section 30.          Reserved.

 

Section 31.          Resignation
of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably
satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization
is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder.
The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall
be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer
shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any
further notice or other action.

 

Section 32.          Resizing.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as MSMCH or an affiliate thereof (an “MSMCH Entity”)
is the owner of any Non-Lead Securitization Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such MSMCH Entity shall have the
right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated
notes or additional notes (in each case, as applicable, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of an Owned
Note to such New Notes; or severing an Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal
amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of
all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of such Owned Note prior to such
amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii)
all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically
subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the MSMCH Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note
Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations
and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate

 

    	-43- 

    	 

    

 

the Servicing
Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the MSMCH Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder
of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified.
Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed
in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of each
other Note. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied,
with respect to clauses (i) through (iv), as certified by the MSMCH Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely),
the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement
on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal.
If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a Controlling Note Holder or Non-Controlling
Note Holder hereunder, the “Controlling Note Holder” or “Non-Controlling Note Holder”, as applicable,
shall be as provided in the definitions of such terms in this Agreement; provided that the Controlling Note Holder shall
be entitled to designate any New Note created from the existing Controlling Note to be a Non-Controlling Note hereunder.

        Great Ajax Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), sets forth herein the terms of its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as follows: 

        1.

        PURPOSE

        ​

        The Plan is intended to provide (a) incentive to officers, employees, directors, consultants and other eligible persons to stimulate their efforts towards the success of the Company and to operate and manage its business in a manner that will provide for the long term growth and profitability of the Company; and (b) a means of obtaining, rewarding and retaining key personnel. To this end, the Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units (including deferred stock units), dividend equivalent rights, long-term incentive units, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards. Any of these awards may, but need not, be made as performance incentives to reward attainment of annual or long-term performance goals in accordance with the terms hereof. Stock options granted under the Plan may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, as provided herein.

      TABLE OF CONTENTS​​

      
        principally traded; provided, however, the failure of the Committee to be composed solely of individuals who are “non-employee directors,” “outside directors,” and “independent directors” shall not render ineffective or void any Awards made by, or other actions taken by, such Committee. 

        (ii)   The Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to different Grantees. 

        (iii)   Decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons or entities, including the Company, any Grantee, any stockholder and any employee or any Affiliate. A majority of the members of the Committee may determine its actions and fix the time and place of its meetings. 

        (iv)   The Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more Directors of the Company or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to one or more officers or a committee of officers, the authority to grant Awards to employees and officers of the Company and its Affiliates who are not directors, Covered Employees, or “officers,” as such term is defined by Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act. 

        3.2   Terms of Awards. 

        Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full and final authority to: 

        (i)   designate Grantees; 

        (ii)   determine the type or types of Awards to be made to a Grantee; 

        (iii)   determine the number of Shares to be subject to an Award; 

        (iv)   establish the terms and conditions of each Award (including, but not limited to, the exercise price of any Option, the nature and duration of any restriction or condition (or provision for lapse thereof) relating to the vesting, exercise, transfer, or forfeiture of an Award or the Shares subject thereto, the treatment of an Award in the event of a Change in Control, and any terms or conditions that may be necessary to qualify Options as Incentive Stock Options); 

        (v)   prescribe the form of each Award Agreement evidencing an Award; 

        (vi)   interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement entered into under or in connection with the Plan, including any Award Agreement; 

        (vii)   correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent that the Committee shall deem desirable to carry it into effect; 

        (viii)   establish such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; 

        (ix)   amend, modify, or reprice (except as such practice is prohibited by Section 3.4 herein) the terms of any outstanding Award; and 

        (x)   make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for administration of the Plan. 

        Such authority specifically includes the authority, in order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan but without amending the Plan, to make or modify Awards to eligible individuals who are foreign nationals or are individuals who are employed outside the United States to recognize differences in local law, tax policy, or custom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or supplement of any Award shall, without the consent of the Grantee, impair the Grantee’s rights under such Award. 

        3.3   Forfeiture; Recoupment. 

        The Company may reserve the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee with respect to an Award thereunder on account of actions taken by, or failed to be taken by, such Grantee in violation or breach of or in conflict with any (a) employment agreement, (b) non-competition agreement, (c) agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or any Affiliate, (d) confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate, or (e) other 

      

      
        6

      

      

    

    
      TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​​​

      
        agreement, as and to the extent specified in such Award Agreement. The Company may annul an outstanding Award if the Grantee thereof is an employee and is terminated for Cause as defined in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement or for “cause” as defined in any other agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and such Grantee, as applicable. 

        If the Company adopts a “clawback” or recoupment policy, any Award will be subject to repayment to the Company to the extent so provided under the terms of such policy. Such policy may authorize the Company to recover from a Grantee incentive-based compensation (including Options awarded as compensation) awarded to or received by such Grantee during a period of up to three (3) years, as determined by the Committee, preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance by the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws. 

        3.4   No Repricing. 

        Except for adjustments to Options or SARs contemplated by Section 17, the Company may not, without obtaining stockholder approval: (a) amend the terms of outstanding Options or SARs to reduce the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price of such outstanding Options or SARs; (b) cancel outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for or substitution of Options or SARs with an Option Price or SAR Exercise Price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or SARs; (c) cancel outstanding Options or SARs with an Option Price or SAR Exercise Price above the current Fair Market Value of a Share in exchange for cash or other securities; or (d) take any other action with respect to Options or SARS that would be treated as a repricing under the Stock Exchange or quotation system on which the Shares are principally traded. 

        3.5   Deferral Arrangement. 

        The Committee may permit or require the deferral of any award payment into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or Dividend Equivalent Rights and, in connection therewith, provisions for converting such credits into Stock Units and for restricting deferrals to comply with hardship distribution rules affecting tax-qualified retirement plans subject to Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(IV), provided that no Dividend Equivalent Rights may be granted in connection with, or related to, an Award of Options or SARs. Any such deferrals shall be made in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A. 

        3.6   No Liability. 

        No member of the Board or the Committee (or any other person to whom administrative authority has been delegated hereunder) shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement. 

        3.7   Share Issuance/Book-Entry. 

        Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the issuance of the Shares under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry or direct registration or issuance of one or more share certificates.

        4.2   Adjustments in Authorized Shares. 

        The Committee shall have the right to substitute or assume Awards in connection with mergers, reorganizations, separations, or other transactions to which Code Section 424(a) applies. The number of Shares reserved pursuant to Section 4 shall be increased by the corresponding number of awards assumed and, in the case of a substitution, by the net increase in the number of Shares subject to awards before and after the substitution. Available shares under a stockholder approved plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and do not reduce the number of Shares available under the Plan, subject to requirements of the Stock Exchange on which the Shares are listed. 

        4.3   Share Usage. 

        Shares covered by an Award shall be counted as used as of the Grant Date. Any Shares that are subject to Awards shall be counted against the limit set forth in Section 4.1 as one (1) Share for every one (1) Share subject to an Award. With respect to SARs, the number of Shares subject to an award of SARs will be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan regardless of the number of Shares actually issued to settle the SAR upon exercise. If any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan are not purchased or are forfeited or expire, or if an Award otherwise terminates without delivery of any Shares subject thereto, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination or expiration, again be available for making Awards under the Plan in the same amount as such Shares were counted against the limit set forth in Section 4.1. The number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall not be increased by (i) any Shares tendered or withheld or Award surrendered in connection with the purchase of Shares upon exercise of an Option as described in Section 12.2, (ii) any Shares deducted or delivered from an Award payment in connection with the Company’s tax withholding obligations as described in Section 18.3 or (iii) any Shares purchased by the Company with proceeds from option exercises. 

        5.

        EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION AND AMENDMENTS

        ​

        5.1   Effective Date. 

        The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date. 

        5.2   Term. 

        The Plan first became effective on the Effective Date. The Plan shall continue in effect until the day immediately prior to the 10-year anniversary of the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated on any date as provided in Section 5.3 or extended with approved by the stockholders of the Company. 

        5.3   Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 

        The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan as to any Shares as to which Awards have not been made. An amendment shall be contingent on approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent stated by the Board, required by Applicable Laws or required by the Stock Exchange on which the Shares are listed. No amendment will be made to the no-repricing provisions of Section 3.4 or the option pricing provisions of Section 8.1 without the approval of the Company’s stockholders. No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Grantee, impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore awarded under the Plan.

        6.2   Limitation on Shares Subject to Awards and Cash Awards. 

        During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and the transition period under Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(f)(2) has lapsed or does not apply, Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to the following limitations: 

        (i)   the maximum number of Shares subject to Options or SARs that can be granted under the Plan to any person eligible for an Award under Section 6 is 500,000 Shares in a calendar year (for this purpose, tandem SARs/Options shall be treated as one Award); 

        (ii)   the maximum number of Shares that can be granted under the Plan, other than pursuant to Options or SARs, to any person eligible for an Award under Section 6 is 500,000 Shares in a calendar year; and 

        (iii)   the maximum amount that may be paid as an Annual Incentive Award in a calendar year to any person eligible for an Award shall be $5,000,000 and the maximum amount that may be paid as a cash-settled Performance Award in respect of a performance period by any person eligible for an Award shall be $5,000,000. 

        The preceding limitations in this Section 6.2 are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 17. 

        6.3   Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards. 

        Subject to Section 3.4, Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate, or any other right of a Grantee to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate. Such additional, tandem, and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. Subject to Section 3.4, if an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding Section 8.1 and Section 9.1 but subject to Section 3.4, the Option Price of an Option or the SAR Exercise Price of an SAR that is a Substitute Award may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the original date of grant; provided, that, the Option Price or grant price is determined in accordance with the principles of Code Section 424 and the regulations thereunder for any Incentive Stock Option and consistent with Code Section 409A for any other Option or SAR. 

        7.

        AWARD AGREEMENT

        ​

        Each Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, in such form or forms as the Committee shall from time to time determine. Award Agreements granted from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions but shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Options shall specify whether such Options are intended to be Non-Qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, and in the absence of such specification such options shall be deemed Non-Qualified Stock Options.

        TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

        ​

        8.1   Option Price. 

        The Option Price of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option. Except in the case of Substitute Awards, the Option Price of each Option shall be at least the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date; provided, however, that in the event that a Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, the Option Price of an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. In no case shall the Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of a Share.

        8.2   Vesting. 

        Subject to Sections 8.3 and 17.3, each Option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement. For purposes of this Section 8.2, fractional numbers of Shares subject to an Option shall be rounded down to the next nearest whole number. 

        8.3   Term. 

        Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to purchase Shares thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Option is granted, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such Option; provided, however, that in the event that the Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from its Grant Date. 

        8.4   Termination of Service. 

        Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Grantee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Grantee’s Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service. 

        8.5   Limitations on Exercise of Option. 

        Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company as provided herein or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 17 which results in termination of the Option. 

        8.6   Method of Exercise. 

        Subject to the terms of Section 12 and Section 18.3.3, an Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Company of notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal office, on the form specified by the Company and in accordance with any additional procedures specified by the Committee. Subject to the terms of Section 12 and Section 18.3.3, such notice shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the Shares for which the Option is being exercised plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to an Award. 

        8.7   Rights of Holders of Options. 

        Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, an individual or entity holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the subject Shares or to direct the voting of the subject Shares or to receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s stockholders) until the Shares covered thereby are fully paid and issued to him. Except as provided in Section 17, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance. 

        8.8   Delivery of Share Certificates. 

        Promptly after the exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option Price with respect thereto, such Grantee shall be entitled to receive such evidence of such Grantee’s ownership of the Shares subject to such Option as shall be consistent with Section 3.7. 

        8.9   Transferability of Options. 

        Except as provided in Section 8.10, during the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an Option. Except as provided in Section 8.10, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

        8.10   Family Transfers. 

        If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement or by the Committee, in its sole discretion, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 8.10, a “not for value” transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (iii) unless Applicable Law does not permit such transfers, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 8.10, any such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, and Shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer of shares as would have applied to the Grantee. Subsequent transfers of transferred Options are prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 8.10 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The events of termination of Service of Section 8.4 shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Grantee, following which the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified, in Section 8.4. 

        8.11   Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. 

        An Option shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (i) if the Grantee of such Option is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; (ii) to the extent specifically provided in the related Award Agreement; and (iii) to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options held by such Grantee become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Grantee’s employer and its Affiliates) does not exceed $100,000. Except to the extent provided in the regulations under Code Section 422, this limitation shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted. 

        8.12   Notice of Disqualifying Disposition. 

        If any Grantee shall make any disposition of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Grantee shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten (10) days thereof.

        TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

        ​

        9.1   Right to Payment and Grant Price. 

        A SAR shall confer on the Grantee to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of  (A) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over (B) the SAR Exercise Price as determined by the Committee. The Award Agreement for a SAR shall specify the SAR Exercise Price, which shall be at least the Fair Market Value of one (1) Share on the Grant Date. SARs may be granted in conjunction with all or part of an Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option, in conjunction with all or part of any other Award or without regard to any Option or other Award; provided that a SAR that is granted subsequent to the Grant Date of a related Option must have a SAR Exercise Price that is no less than the Fair Market Value of one Share on the SAR Grant Date; and provided further that a Grantee may only exercise either the SAR or the Option with which it is granted in tandem and not both. 

        9.2   Other Terms. 

        The Committee shall determine on the Grant Date or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at which SARs shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Grantees, whether or not a SAR shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR.

        9.3   Term. 

        Each SAR granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such SAR is granted, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such SAR. 

        9.4   Transferability of SARS. 

        Except as provided in Section 9.5, during the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise a SAR. Except as provided in Section 9.5, no SAR shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

        9.5   Family Transfers. 

        If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement and by the Committee, in its sole discretion, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of a SAR to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 9.5, a “not for value” transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (iii) unless Applicable Law does not permit such transfers, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 9.5, any such SAR shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, and Shares acquired pursuant to a SAR shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer or shares as would have applied to the Grantee. Subsequent transfers of transferred SARs are prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 9.5 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

        TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS

        ​

        10.1   Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units. 

        Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be made for consideration or no consideration. To the extent required by applicable law, Grantees will be required to pay the par value of the Shares; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, par value shall be deemed paid by past Service or, if so provided in the related Award Agreement or a separate agreement, the promise by the Grantee to perform future Service to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company). 

        10.2   Restrictions. 

        At the time a grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish a period of time (a “restricted period”) applicable to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Each Award of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be subject to a different restricted period. The Committee may in its sole discretion, at the time a grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than the expiration of the restricted period, including the satisfaction of corporate or individual performance objectives, which may be applicable to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock or Stock Units as described in Section 14, and which shall be set forth in the Award Agreement relating to such grant. Neither Restricted Stock nor Stock Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the restricted period or prior to the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Committee with respect to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. 

        10.3   Restricted Stock Certificates. 

        Pursuant to Section 3.7, to the extent that ownership of Restricted Stock is evidenced by a book-entry registration or direct registration, such registration shall be notated to evidence the restrictions imposed on such Award of Restricted Stock under the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. Subject to Section 3.7 and the immediately following sentence, the Company may issue, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock have been granted, share certificates representing the total number of Restricted Stock granted to the Grantee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that either (i) the Secretary of the Company shall hold such certificates for

      TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​

      
        the Grantee’s benefit until such time as the shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited to the Company or the restrictions applicable thereto lapse and such Grantee shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to each certificate, or (ii) such certificates shall be delivered to the Grantee, provided, however, that such certificates shall bear a legend or legends that comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and make appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed under the Plan and the Award Agreement. 

        10.4   Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock. 

        Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, holders of Restricted Stock shall have the right to vote such Shares. Awards of Restricted Stock may provide for the right to receive any dividends declared or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that to the extent such dividend rights are provided with respect to Restricted Stock that vests or is earned based upon the achievement of performance goals, dividends shall not be paid currently, but shall, instead, be paid (or, to the extent deemed reinvested into additional Shares of Restricted Stock, vest) only to the extent (and when) such Restricted Stock vests. The Award Agreement may provide that dividends are payable in cash or deemed reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock at a price per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that such dividend is paid. All distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, extraordinary dividend, share dividend, combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to the original Grant. Absent advance written consent by the Committee, holders of Restricted Stock may not make an election under Code Section 83(b) with regard to the grant of Restricted Stock, and any holder who attempts to make such an election without first obtaining such consent shall forfeit the Restricted Stock. 

        10.5   Rights of Holders of Stock Units. 

        10.5.1   Voting and Dividend Equivalent Rights. 

        Holders of Stock Units shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the Shares subject to such Stock Units, to direct the voting of the Shares subject to such Stock Units, or to receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s stockholders); provided, however, that the Committee may provide in an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Stock Units that the holder of such Stock Units shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights. 

        10.5.2   Creditor’s Rights. 

        A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement. 

        10.6   Termination of Service. 

        Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination of a Grantee’s Service, any Restricted Stock or Stock Units held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to such Award, including but not limited to any right to vote Restricted Stock or any right to receive dividends with respect to Restricted Stock or Stock Units. 

        10.7   Delivery of Shares. 

        Upon the expiration or termination of any restricted period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement relating to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units, the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock or Stock Units settled in Shares shall lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a book-entry or direct registration or a share certificate evidencing ownership of such Shares shall, consistent with Section 3.7, be issued, free of all such restrictions, to the Grantee or the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. Neither the Grantee, nor the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, shall have any further rights with regard to a Stock Unit once the Shares represented by the Stock Unit has been delivered.

        TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS AND OTHER EQUITY-BASED AWARDS 

        ​

        The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell) an Unrestricted Stock Award to any Grantee pursuant to which such Grantee may receive Shares free of any restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted or sold to any Grantee as provided in the immediately preceding sentence in respect of past or, if so provided in the related Award Agreement or a separate agreement, the promise by the Grantee to perform future Service to the Company or an Affiliate or other valid consideration, or in lieu of, or in addition to, any cash compensation due to such Grantee. To the extent required by applicable law, Grantees will be required to pay the par value of any Shares received pursuant to an Award; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, par value shall be deemed paid by past Service or, if so provided in the related Award Agreement or a separate agreement, the promise by the Grantee to perform future Service to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company). 

        The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Awards to Grantees in the form of other equity-based awards, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Awards granted pursuant to this Section 11 may be granted with vesting, value and/or payment contingent upon the attainment of one or more performance goals. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at the date of grant or thereafter. Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination of a Grantee’s Service, any other equity-based awards held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of other equity-based awards, the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to such Award.

        FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

        ​

        12.1   General Rule. 

        Payment of the Option Price for the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company. 

        12.2   Surrender of Shares. 

        To the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock may be made all or in part through the tender or attestation to the Company of Shares, which shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price or Purchase Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or surrender, as applicable. 

        12.3   Cashless Exercise. 

        With respect to an Option only (and not with respect to Restricted Stock), to the extent permitted by law and to the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part (i) by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Committee) by the Grantee of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of the Option Price and any withholding taxes described in Section 18.3, or, (ii) with the consent of the Company, by the Grantee electing to have the Company issue to Grantee only that the number of Shares equal in value to the difference between the Option Price and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the portion of the Option being exercised. 

        12.4   Other Forms of Payment. 

        To the extent the Award Agreement so provides and/or unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, payment of the Option Price for Shares purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock may be made in any other form that is consistent with Applicable Laws, regulations and rules, including, without limitation, Service to the Company or an Affiliate or net exercise.

        TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS 

        ​

        13.1   Dividend Equivalent Rights. 

        A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive credits based on cash distributions that would have been paid on the Shares specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other award to which it relates) if such Shares had been issued to and held by the recipient. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any Grantee, provided that no Dividend Equivalent Rights may be granted in connection with, or related to, an Award of Options or SARs, and, provided, further, that to the extent such Dividend Equivalent Rights are provided with respect to an Award that vests or is earned based upon the achievement of performance goals, any dividend equivalent amounts shall not be paid currently, but shall, instead, be paid (or, to the extent deemed reinvested into additional Shares or Share-based Awards, issued) only to the extent such Award vest (with the Dividend Equivalent amount paid or issued, as the case may be, at the same time the cash is paid or Shares are issued at or after vesting of the Award). The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Agreement. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid in cash or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional Shares or Share-based Awards, which may thereafter accrue additional dividend equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the dividend was paid. 

        13.2   Termination of Service. 

        Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, a Grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights or interest equivalents shall automatically terminate upon the Grantee’s termination of Service for any reason.

        Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Performance Awards and/or Annual Incentive Awards to a Plan participant in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. 

        14.2   Value of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards. 

        Each Performance Award and Annual Incentive Award shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. The Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or number of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Plan participant. 

        14.3   Earning of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards. 

        Subject to the terms of the Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards shall be entitled to receive payout on the value and number of the Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards earned by the Plan participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved. 

        14.4   Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards. 

        Payment of earned Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be as determined by the Committee and as evidenced in the Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Awards in the form of cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Awards at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period; provided that, unless specifically provided in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Award, such payment shall occur no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the

      TABLE OF CONTENTS​​

      
        Performance Period ends. Any Shares may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Award. 

        14.5   Performance Conditions. 

        The right of a Grantee to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions. 

        14.6   Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards Granted to Designated Covered Employees. 

        If and to the extent that the Committee determines that a Performance or Annual Incentive Award to be granted to a Grantee who is designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee should qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Award shall be contingent upon achievement of pre-established performance goals and other terms set forth in this Section 14.6. 

        14.6.1   Performance Goals Generally. 

        The performance goals for Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 14.6. Performance goals applicable to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee result in the achievement of performance goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Committee may determine that such Awards shall be granted, exercised and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to the grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Awards. Performance goals may differ for Awards granted to any one Grantee or to different Grantees. 

        14.6.2   Timing For Establishing Performance Goals. 

        Performance goals applicable to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be established not later than the earlier of  (i) 90 days after the beginning of any performance period applicable to such Awards and (ii) the day on which twenty-five percent (25%) of any performance period applicable to such Awards has expired, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). 

        14.6.3   Settlement of Awards; Other Terms. 

        Settlement of such Awards shall be in cash, Shares, other Awards or other property, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Awards. The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of Service by the Grantee prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of Awards. 

        14.6.4   Performance Measures. 

        The performance goals upon which the payment or vesting of a Performance or Annual Incentive Award to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be limited to the following Performance Measures, with or without adjustment: 

        (a)   funds from operations; 

        (b)   adjusted funds from operations; 

        (c)   earnings before any one or more of the following: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and/or stock compensation;

        (n)   total rental income or revenues; 

        (o)   capital expenditures as a percentage of rental income; 

        (p)   total operating expenses, or some component or combination of components of total operating expenses, as a percentage of rental income; 

        (q)   stock price or total stockholder return, including any comparisons with stock market indices; 

        (r)   appreciation in or maintenance of the price of the common stock or any of our publicly-traded securities; 

        (s)   dividends; 

        (t)   debt or cost reduction; 

        (u)   comparisons with performance metrics of peer companies; 

        (v)   comparisons of our stock price performance to the stock price performance of peer companies; 

        (w)   strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified cost, acquisition or leasing targets, meeting or reducing budgeted expenditures, attaining division, group or corporate financial goals, meeting business expansion goals and meeting goals relating to leasing, acquisitions, joint ventures or collaborations or dispositions; economic value-added models; or 

        (x)   any combination of any of the foregoing. 

        Business criteria may be (but are not required to be) measured on a basis consistent with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. 

        Any Performance Measure(s) may be expressed on an absolute and/or relative basis, may be based on or otherwise employ comparisons based on internal targets, the performance of the Company, Subsidiary, and/or Affiliate or past performance or the past performance of any of the Company, Subsidiary, and/or Affiliate, operating units, business segments or divisions and/or the past or current performance of other companies, and in the case of earnings based measures, may use or employ comparisons relating to capital, stockholders’ equity and/or shares outstanding, or to assets or net assets, as the Committee may deem appropriate. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified in this Section 14. 

        14.6.5   Evaluation of Performance. 

        The Committee may provide in any such Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occur during a Performance Period: (a) asset impairments or write-downs; (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results; (d) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs; (e) significant, infrequently occurring items; (f) foreign exchange gains and 

      

      
        17

      

      

    

    
      TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​​

      
        losses, (g) the effect of adverse federal, governmental or regulatory action, or delays in federal, governmental or regulatory action; and (h) any other event either not directly related to operations or not within the reasonable control of management. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, they shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility. 

        14.6.6   Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation. 

        Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward. The Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis, or any combination as the Committee determines. 

        14.6.7   Board Discretion. 

        In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Board discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval provided the exercise of such discretion does not violate Code Sections 162(m) or 409A. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and base vesting on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 14.6.4. 

        14.7   Status of Awards Under Code Section 162(m). 

        It is the intent of the Company that Awards under Section 14.6 granted to persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be Covered Employees within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder shall, if so designated by the Committee, constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms of Section 14.6, including the definitions of Covered Employee and other terms used therein, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. If any provision of the Plan or any agreement relating to such Awards does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. 

        15.

        TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LONG-TERM INCENTIVE UNITS 

        ​

        LTIP Units are intended to be profits interests in the operating partnership affiliated with the Company, if any (such operating partnership, if any, the “Operating Partnership”), the rights and features of which, if applicable, will be set forth in the agreement of limited partnership for the Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Agreement”). Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant LTIP Units to Plan participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. LTIP Units must be granted for service to the Operating Partnership. Each LTIP Unit awarded will be equivalent to an award of one Share for purposes of reducing the number of Shares available under the Plan on a one-for-one basis pursuant to Section 4.3. 

        15.1   Vesting. 

        Subject to Section 18, each LTIP Unit granted under the Plan shall vest at such times and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement. 

        16.

        REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 

        ​

        16.1   General. 

        No participant in the Plan will be permitted to acquire, or will have any right to acquire, Shares thereunder if such acquisition would be prohibited by any share ownership limits contained in charter or bylaws or would impair the Company’s status as a REIT. The Company shall not be required to offer, sell or issue any Shares under any Award if the offer, sale or issuance of such Shares would constitute a violation by the Grantee, any other individual or entity exercising an Option, or the Company or an Affiliate of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation any federal 

      

      
        18

      

      

    

    
      TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​

      
        or state securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the offering, listing, registration or qualification of any Shares subject to an Award upon any securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of Shares hereunder, no Shares may be offered, issued or sold to the Grantee or any other individual or entity exercising an Option pursuant to such Award unless such offering, listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or any SAR that may be settled in Shares or the delivery of any Shares underlying an Award, unless a registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the Shares covered by such Award, the Company shall not be required to offer, sell or issue such Shares unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other individual or entity exercising an Option or SAR or accepting delivery of such Shares may acquire such Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or a SAR or the issuance of Shares pursuant to the Plan to comply with any Applicable Laws. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option (or SAR that may be settled in Shares) shall not be exercisable until the Shares covered by such Option (or SAR) are registered under the securities laws thereof or are exempt from such registration, the exercise of such Option (or SAR) under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an exemption. 

        16.2   Rule 16b-3. 

        During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that Awards pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options and SARs granted hereunder that would otherwise be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act will qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative with respect to such Awards to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and deemed advisable by the Committee, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its discretion to modify the Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption or its replacement. 

        17.

        EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 

        ​

        17.1   Changes in Shares. 

        If the number of outstanding Shares is increased or decreased or the Shares are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of Shares or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, combination of share, exchange of shares, share dividend or other distribution payable in capital shares, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares for which grants of Options and other Awards may be made under the Plan, including, without limitation, the limits set forth in Section 6.2, shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Company in a manner deemed equitable by the Committee. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which Awards are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate interest of the Grantee immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding Options or SARs shall not change the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price payable with respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of an outstanding Option or SAR, as applicable, but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per share. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to 

      

      
        19

      

      

    

    
      TABLE OF CONTENTS​​

      
        the Company’s stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (including an extraordinary dividend but excluding a non-extraordinary dividend of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Company shall, in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, adjust (i) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and/or (ii) the exercise price of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to reflect such distribution. 

        17.2

        Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity Which Does not Constitute a Change in Control. 

        ​

        Subject to Section 17.3, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more other entities which does not constitute a Change in Control, any Option or SAR theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to such Option or SAR would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price of the Shares remaining subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Subject to any contrary language in an Award Agreement evidencing an Award, or in another agreement with the Grantee, or otherwise set forth in writing, any restrictions applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement shares received by the Grantee as a result of the reorganization, merger or consolidation. In the event of a transaction described in this Section 17.2, Performance Awards shall be adjusted (including any adjustment to the Performance Measures applicable to such Awards deemed appropriate by the Committee) so as to apply to the securities that a holder of the number of Shares subject to the Performance Awards would have been entitled to receive immediately following such transaction. 

        17.3   Change in Control in which Awards are not Assumed. 

        Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or in another agreement with the Grantee, or as otherwise set forth in writing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which outstanding Options, SARs, Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Rights, Restricted Stock, LTIP Units or other equity-based awards are not being assumed or continued: 

        (i)   in each case with the exception of any Performance Award, all outstanding Restricted Stock and LTIP Units shall be deemed to have vested, all Stock Units shall be deemed to have vested and the Shares subject thereto shall be delivered, and all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be deemed to have vested and the Shares subject thereto shall be delivered, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control, and 

        (ii)   either of the following two actions shall be taken: 

        (A)   fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled consummation of a Change in Control, all Options and SARs outstanding hereunder shall become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days, or 

        (B)   the Committee may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding Awards of Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, and/or SARs and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the Committee acting in good faith), in the case of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, equal to the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of Shares and, in the case of Options or SARs, equal to the product of the number of Shares subject to the Option or SAR (the “Award Shares”) multiplied by the amount, if any, by which (I) the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of Shares pursuant to such transaction exceeds (II) the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price applicable to such Award Shares. 

        (iii)   for Performance Awards denominated in Shares, Stock Units or LTIP Units, if less than half of the Performance Period has lapsed, the Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units assuming target performance has been achieved (or Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply). If more than half the Performance Period has lapsed, the Awards shall be converted into 

      

      
        20

      

      

    

    
      TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​

      
        Restricted Stock or Stock Units based on actual performance to date (or Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply). If actual performance is not determinable, then Performance Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units assuming target performance has been achieved, based on the discretion of the Committee (or Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply). 

        (iv)   other equity-based awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement. 

        With respect to the Company’s establishment of an exercise window, (i) any exercise of an Option or SAR during such fifteen (15)-day period shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the event and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation of the event, and (ii) upon consummation of any Change in Control, the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Options and SARs shall terminate. The Committee shall send notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all individuals and entities that hold Options and SARs not later than the time at which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders. 

        17.4   Change in Control in which Awards are Assumed. 

        Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or in another agreement with the Grantee, or as otherwise set forth in writing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which outstanding Awards are being assumed or continued, the following provisions shall apply to such Award, to the extent assumed or continued: 

        The Plan, Options, SARs, Stock Units, Restricted Stock and other equity-based awards theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided in the event of any Change in Control to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with such Change in Control for the assumption or continuation of the Options, SARs, Stock Units, Restricted Stock and other equity-based awards theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options, SARs, Stock Units, Restricted Stock and other equity-based awards for new common stock options and stock appreciation rights and new common stock units, restricted stock and other equity-based awards relating to the stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding any consideration that is not common stock) and option and stock appreciation rights exercise prices. 

        17.5   Adjustments 

        Adjustments under this Section 17 related to Shares or securities of the Company shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares or other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share. The Committee shall determine the effect of a Change in Control upon Awards other than Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock, and such effect shall be set forth in the appropriate Award Agreement. The Committee may provide in the Award Agreements at the time of grant, or any time thereafter with the consent of the Grantee, for different provisions to apply to an Award in place of those described in Sections 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 and 17.4. This Section 17 does not limit the Company’s ability to provide for alternative treatment of Awards outstanding under the Plan in the event of change in control events that do not constitute a Change in Control. 

        17.6   No Limitations on Company. 

        The making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets (including all or any part of the business or assets of any Subsidiary or other Affiliate) or engage in any other transaction or activity.

        GENERAL PROVISIONS 

        ​

        18.1   Disclaimer of Rights. 

        No provision in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any individual or entity the right to remain in the employ or Service of the Company or an Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company or an Affiliate either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any individual or entity at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual or entity and the Company or an Affiliate. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, in another agreement with the Grantee, or otherwise in writing, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee, so long as such Grantee continues to provide Service. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan and Awards shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan. 

        18.2   Nonexclusivity of the Plan. 

        Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Company to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals) as it may determine to be desirable. 

        18.3   Withholding Taxes. 

        The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of any Shares upon the exercise of an Option or pursuant to an Award. At the time of such vesting, lapse, or exercise, the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or an Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation; provided, that if there is a same-day sale of Shares subject to an Award, the Grantee shall pay such withholding obligation on the day on which such same-day sale is completed. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or an Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company or an Affiliate to withhold Shares otherwise issuable to the Grantee or (ii) by delivering to the Company or an Affiliate Shares already owned by the Grantee. The Shares so delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. The Fair Market Value of the Shares used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or an Affiliate as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 18.3 may satisfy his or her withholding obligation only with Shares that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements. The maximum number of Shares that may be withheld from any Award to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding requirements upon the exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions applicable to such Award or payment of Shares pursuant to such Award, as applicable, cannot exceed such number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company or an Affiliate to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state or local taxing authority with respect to such exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions or payment of Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.19 or this Section 18.3, for purposes of determining taxable income and the amount of the related tax withholding obligation pursuant to this Section 18.3, for any Shares subject to an Award that are sold by or on behalf of a Grantee on the same date on which such shares may first be sold pursuant to the terms of the related Award Agreement, the Fair Market Value of such shares shall be the sale price of such shares on such date (or if sales of such shares are effectuated at more than one sale price, the weighted average sale price of such shares on such date), so long as such Grantee has provided the Company or an Affiliate, or its designee or agent, with advance written notice of such sale.

        18.7   Severability. 

        If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction. 

        18.8   Governing Law. 

        The validity and construction of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 

        18.9   Code Section 409A. 

        The Company intends to comply with Code Section 409A, or an exemption to Code Section 409A, with regard to Awards hereunder that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and the Plan and all Award Agreements shall be interpreted accordingly. To the extent that the Company determines that a Grantee would be subject to the additional twenty percent (20%) tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Code Section 409A as a result of any provision of any Award granted under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Board.
